Channels by TradingConTotoThis indicator plots clear and minimalistic High (H) and Low (L) pivot points only within the selected trading session (e.g., 10:00–12:00).
During the active session, the background is shaded for easy visual reference, and pivot labels alternate automatically — meaning no consecutive H or L points appear in a row. This makes it simple to identify real swing changes within a specific session.
⚙️ Features
Detects and labels pivots only during the chosen time range.
Alternating logic prevents consecutive highs or lows (H → L → H → L).
Clean session background highlight for visual clarity.
Fully customizable parameters (session time, sensitivity, colors, etc.).
Ideal for intraday traders, scalpers, and structure-based strategies.
💡 Suggested Use
Perfect for traders who focus on specific market sessions (e.g., New York, London, or custom hours).
The alternating pivot logic helps visualize market swings and structural shifts without visual clutter, making it an excellent companion for price action analysis.

VWAP Deviation Oscillator [BackQuant]VWAP Deviation Oscillator
Introduction
The VWAP Deviation Oscillator turns VWAP context into a clean, tradeable oscillator that works across assets and sessions. It adapts to your workflow with four VWAP regimes plus two rolling modes, and three deviation metrics: Percent, Absolute, and Z-Score. Colored zones, optional standard deviation rails, and flexible plot styles make it fast to read for both trend following and mean reversion.
What it does
This tool measures how far price is from a chosen VWAP and expresses that gap as an oscillator. You can view the deviation as raw price units, percent, or standardized Z-Score. The plot can be a histogram or a line with optional fills and sigma bands, so you can quickly spot polarity shifts, overbought and oversold conditions, and strength of extension.
VWAP modes track a session VWAP that resets (4H, Daily, Weekly) or a rolling VWAP that updates continuously over a fixed number of bars or days.
Deviation modes let you choose the lens: Percent, Absolute, or Z-Score. Each highlights different aspects of stretch and mean pressure.
Visual encoding uses a 10-zone color palette to grade the magnitude of deviation on both sides of zero.
Volatility guards compute mode-specific sigma so thresholds are stable even when volatility compresses.
Why this works
VWAP is a high signal anchor used by institutions to gauge fair participation. Deviations around VWAP cluster in regimes: mild oscillations within a band, decisive pushes that signal imbalance, and standardized extremes that often precede either continuation or snapback. Expressing that distance as a single time series adds clarity: bias is the oscillator’s sign, risk context is its magnitude, and regime is the way it behaves around sigma lines.
How to use it
Trend following
Favor the side of the zero line. Bullish when the oscillator is above zero and making higher swing highs. Bearish when below zero and making lower swing lows. Use +1 sigma and +2 sigma in your mode as strength tiers. Pullbacks that hold above zero in uptrends, or below zero in downtrends, are often continuation entries.
Mean reversion
Fade stretched readings when structure supports it. Look for tests of +2 sigma to +3 sigma that fail to progress and roll back toward zero, or the mirror on the downside. Z-Score mode is best when you want standardized gates across assets. Percent mode is intuitive for intraday scalps where a given percent stretch tends to mean revert.
Session playbook
Use Daily or Weekly VWAP for intraday or swing context. Rolling modes help when the asset lacks clean session boundaries or when you want a continuous anchor that adapts to liquidity shifts.
Key settings
VWAP computation
VWAP Mode = 4 Hours, Daily, Weekly, Rolling (Bars), Rolling (Days). Session modes reset the VWAP when a new session begins. Rolling modes compute VWAP over a fixed trailing window.
Rolling (Lookback: Bars) controls the trailing bar count when using Rolling (Bars).
Rolling (Lookback: Days) converts days to bars at runtime and uses that trailing span.
Use Close instead of HLC3 switches the price reference. HLC3 is smoother. Close makes the anchor track settlement more tightly.
Deviation measurement
Deviation Mode
Percent : 100 * (Price / VWAP - 1). Good for uniform scaling across instruments.
Absolute : Price - VWAP. Good when price units themselves matter.
Z-Score : Standardizes the absolute residual by its own mean and standard deviation over Z/Std Window . Ideal for cross-asset comparability and regime studies.
Z/Std Window sets the mean and standard deviation window for Z-Score mode.
Volatility controls
Percent Mode Volatility Lookback estimates sigma for percent deviations.
Absolute Mode Volatility Lookback estimates sigma for absolute deviations.
Minimum Sigma Guard (pct pts) prevents the percent sigma from collapsing to near zero in extremely quiet markets.
Visualization
Plot Type = Histogram or Line. Histogram emphasizes impulse and polarity changes. Line emphasizes trend waves and divergences.
Positive Color / Negative Color define the palette for line mode. Histogram uses a 10-bucket gradient automatically.
Show Standard Deviations plots symmetric rails at ±1, ±2, ±3 sigma in the current mode’s units.
Fill Line Oscillator and Fill Opacity add a soft bias band around zero for line mode.
Line Width affects both the oscillator and the sigma rails.
Reading the zones
The oscillator’s color and height map deviation to nine graded buckets on each side of zero, with deeper greens above and deeper reds below. In Percent and Absolute modes, those buckets are scaled by their mode-specific sigma. In Z-Score mode the bucket edges are fixed at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 2.8.
0 to +1 sigma weak positive bias, usually rotational.
+1 to +2 sigma constructive impulse. Pullbacks that hold above zero often continue.
+2 to +3 sigma strong expansion. Watch for either trend continuation or exhaustion tells.
Beyond +3 sigma statistical extreme. Requires structure to avoid fading too soon.
Mirror logic applies on the negative side.
Suggested workflows
Trend continuation checklist
Pick a session VWAP that matches your timeframe, for example Daily for intraday or Weekly for position trades.
Wait for the oscillator to hold the correct side of zero and for a sequence of higher swing lows in the oscillator (uptrend) or lower swing highs (downtrend).
Buy pullbacks that stabilize between zero and +1 sigma in an uptrend. Sell rallies that stabilize between zero and -1 sigma in a downtrend.
Use the next sigma band or a prior price swing as your target reference.
Mean reversion checklist
Switch to Z-Score mode for standardized thresholds.
Identify tests of ±2 sigma to ±3 sigma that fail to extend while price meets support or resistance.
Enter on a polarity change through the prior histogram bar or a small hook in line mode.
Fade back to zero or to the opposite inner band, then reassess.
Notes on the three modes
Percent is easy to reason about when you care about proportional stretch. It is well suited to intraday and multi-asset dashboards.
Absolute tracks cash distance from VWAP. This is useful when instruments have tight ticks and you plan risk in price units.
Z-Score standardizes the residual and is best for quant studies, cross-asset comparisons, and threshold research that must be scale invariant.
What the alerts can tell you
Polarity changes at zero can mark the start or end of a leg.
Crosses of ±1 sigma identify overbought or oversold in the current mode’s units.
Zone changes signal an upgrade or downgrade in deviation strength.
Troubleshooting and edge cases
If your instrument has long flat periods, keep Minimum Sigma Guard above zero in Percent mode so the rails do not vanish.
In Rolling modes, very short windows will respond quickly but can whip around. Session modes smooth this by resetting at well known boundaries.
If Z-Score looks erratic, increase Z/Std Window to stabilize the estimate of mean and sigma for the residual.
Final thoughts
VWAP is the anchor. The deviation oscillator is the narrative. By separating bias, magnitude, and regime into a simple stream you can execute faster and review cleaner. Pick the VWAP mode that matches your horizon, choose the deviation lens that matches your risk framework, and let the color graded zones guide your decisions.

Multi-Timeframe MACD with Color Mix (Nikko)Multi-Timeframe MACD with Color Mix (Nikko) Indicator
This documentation explains the benefits of the "Multi-Timeframe MACD with Color Mix (Nikko)" indicator for traders and provides easy-to-follow steps on how to use it. Written as of 05:06 AM +07 on Saturday, October 04, 2025, this guide focuses on helping you, as a trader, get the most out of this tool with clear, practical advice before diving into the technical details.
Benefits for Traders
1. Multi-Timeframe Insight
This indicator lets you see momentum trends across 15-minute, 1-hour, 1-day, and 1-week timeframes all on one chart. This big-picture view helps you catch both quick market moves and long-term trends without flipping between charts, saving you time and giving you a fuller understanding of the market.
2. Visual Momentum Representation
The background changes from red to green based on short-term (15m) momentum, giving you a quick, easy-to-see signal—red means bearish (prices might drop), and green means bullish (prices might rise). The histogram uses a mix of red, green, and blue colors to show the combined strength of the 1-hour, 1-day, and 1-week timeframes, helping you spot strong trends at a glance (e.g., a bright mix for strong momentum, darker for weaker).
3. Enhanced Decision-Making
The background and histogram colors work together to confirm trends across different timeframes, making it less likely you’ll act on a false signal. This helps you feel more confident when deciding when to buy, sell, or hold.
4. Proactive Alert System
You can set alerts to notify you when the percentage of bullish timeframes hits your chosen levels (e.g., below 10% for bearish, above 90% for bullish). This keeps you in the loop on big momentum shifts without needing to watch the chart all day—perfect for when you’re busy.
5. Flexibility and Efficiency
You can turn timeframes on or off, adjust settings like speed of the moving averages, and tweak transparency to fit your trading style—whether you’re a fast scalper or a patient swing trader. Everything is shown on one chart, saving you effort, and the colors make it simple to read, even if you’re new to trading.
How to Use It
Getting Started
Add the Indicator: Load the "Multi-Timeframe MACD with Color Mix (Nikko)" onto your TradingView chart using the Pine Script editor or indicator library.
Pick Your Timeframes: Turn on the timeframes that match your trading—use 15m and 1h for quick trades, or 1d and 1w for longer holds—using the enable_15m, enable_1h, enable_1d, enable_1w, and enable_background options.
Reading the Colors
Background Gradient: Watch for red to signal bearish 15m momentum and green for bullish momentum. Adjust the Background_transparency (default 75%, or 25% opacity) if the chart feels too busy—try lowering it to 50 for clearer candlesticks in fast markets.
Histogram and EMA Colors:
The histogram and its Exponential Moving Average (EMA) line show a mix of red (1-week), green (1-day), and blue (1-hour) based on how strong the momentum is in each timeframe.
Brighter colors mean stronger momentum—white (all bright) shows all timeframes are pushing up hard, while darker shades (like gray or black) mean weaker or mixed momentum.
Turn off a timeframe (e.g., enable_1h = false) to see how it changes the color mix and focus on what matters to you.
Setting Alerts
Set Your Levels: Choose a threshold_low (default 10%) and threshold_high (default 90%) based on your comfort zone or past market patterns to catch big turns.
Get Notifications: Use TradingView alerts to get pings when the market hits your set levels, so you can act without staring at the screen.
Practical Tips
Pair with Other Tools: Use it with support/resistance lines or the RSI to double-check your moves and build a solid plan.
Tweak Settings: Adjust fast_length, slow_length, and signal_smoothing to match your asset’s speed, and bump up the lookback (default 50) for steadier trends in wild markets.
Practice First: Test different timeframe combos on a demo account to find what works best for you.
Understanding the Colors (Simple Explanation)
How Colors Work
The histogram and its EMA line use a color mix based on a simple idea from color theory, like mixing paints with red, green, and blue (RGB):
Red comes from the 1-week timeframe, green from 1-day, and blue from 1-hour.
When all three timeframes show strong upward momentum, they blend into bright white—the brightest color, like a super-bright light telling you the market’s roaring up.
If some timeframes are weak or pulling down, the mix gets darker (like gray or black), warning you the momentum might not be solid.
Brighter is Better
Bright Colors = Strong Opportunity: The brighter the histogram and EMA (closer to white), the more all your chosen timeframes are in agreement that prices are rising. This is your signal to think about buying or holding, as it points to a powerful trend you can ride.
Dark Colors = Caution: A darker mix (toward black) means some timeframes are lagging or bearish, suggesting you might wait or consider selling. It’s like a dim light saying, “Hold on, check again.”
Benefit in Practice: Watching the brightness helps you jump on the best trades fast. For example, a bright white histogram on a green background is like a green traffic light—go for it! A dark gray on red is like a red light—pause and rethink. This quick color check can save you from bad moves and boost your profits when the trend is strong.
Why It Helps
These colors are your fast friend in trading. A bright histogram means all your timeframes are cheering for an uptrend, giving you the confidence to act. A dull one tells you to be careful, helping you avoid traps. It’s like having a color-coded guide to pick the hottest market moments!

Advanced Directional Stoch RSIAdvanced Directional Stochastic RSI
Overview
The Advanced Directional Stochastic RSI (Adv Stoch RSI Dir) is a powerful oscillator that combines the classic Stochastic RSI with John Ehlers' SuperSmoother filter for ultra-smooth signals and reduced noise. Unlike traditional Stoch RSI, this indicator incorporates directional coloring based on price action relative to a smoothed trend line, helping traders quickly spot bullish or bearish momentum. It's designed for swing traders and scalpers looking for clearer overbought/oversold conditions in volatile markets.
Key Features
Directional Coloring: %K line turns green when price is above the trend MA (bullish) and red when below (bearish), providing instant visual bias.
Multi-Pass SuperSmoothing: Apply Ehlers' SuperSmoother filter up to 5 times for customizable noise reduction—dial in passes (default: 2) to balance responsiveness and smoothness.
Trend-Aware Baseline: Uses a cascaded smoothed moving average (default length: 20) to gauge overall direction, making the oscillator more context-aware.
Classic Stoch RSI Core: Built on RSI (default: 14) and Stochastic (default: 14), with SMA smoothing for %K (3) and %D (3).
Visual Aids: Includes overbought (80), oversold (20), and midline (50) levels, plus a subtle blue fill between OB/OS zones for easy reference.
How It Works
Source Smoothing: The input source (default: close) is passed through the SuperSmoother filter multiple times to create a trend MA.
Stoch RSI Calculation: Computes RSI on the source, then applies Stochastic to the RSI values, followed by SMA smoothing for base %K and %D.
Advanced Smoothing: Extra SuperSmoother layers are applied to %K and %D based on your chosen passes, minimizing whipsaws.
Directional Logic: Compares current close to the trend MA to color %K dynamically.
Plotting: %K (thick line, colored) and %D (thin orange) oscillate between 0-100, highlighting crossovers and divergences.
Usage Tips
Buy Signal: Green %K crosses above %D below 50, or bounces off oversold (20) in uptrends.
Sell Signal: Red %K crosses below %D above 50, or rejects overbought (80) in downtrends.
Customization: Increase smoothing passes (3-5) for choppy markets; reduce for faster signals. Pair with volume or support/resistance for confirmation.
Timeframes: Best on 1H-4H charts for stocks/crypto; adjust lengths for forex.

* Position traders → Daily (Prev Day, Bollinger).
* Breakout
A trade entry condition triggered when price crosses above a resistance level (for longs) or below a support level (for shorts).
* Prev Day High/Low
Formula:
Prev High = High of (Day )
Prev Low = Low of (Day )
* Bollinger Bands
Formula:
Basis = SMA(Close, Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (Multiplier × StdDev(Close, Length))
Lower Band = Basis – (Multiplier × StdDev(Close, Length))
* Volume Confirmation
A breakout is only valid if:
Volume > SMA(Volume, Length)
* ATR (Average True Range)
Measures volatility.
Formula:
ATR = SMA(True Range, Length)
where True Range = max(High–Low, |High–Close |, |Low–Close |)
* EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
Weighted moving average giving more weight to recent prices.
Formula:
EMA = (Price × α) + (EMA × (1–α))
with α = 2 / (Length + 1)
* RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Momentum oscillator scaled 0–100.
Formula:
RSI = 100 – (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Avg(Gain, Length) ÷ Avg(Loss, Length)
* Candle Confirmation
Bullish candle: Close > Open AND Close > Close
Bearish candle: Close < Open AND Close < Close
Win Rate (%)
Formula:
Win Rate = (Winning Trades ÷ Total Trades) × 100
* Average Trade P&L
Formula:
Avg Trade = Net Profit ÷ Total Trades
📊 Performance Notes
The Universal Breakout Strategy is designed as a framework rather than a single-asset optimized system. Results will vary depending on the chart, timeframe, and asset chosen.
On the current defaults (15-minute, INR-denominated example), the backtest produced 132 trades over the selected period. This provides a statistically sufficient sample size.
Win rate (~35%) is relatively low, but this is balanced by a positive reward-to-risk ratio (~1.8). In practice, a lower win rate with larger wins versus smaller losses is sustainable.
The average P&L per trade is close to breakeven under default settings. This is expected, as the strategy is not tuned for a single symbol but offered as a universal breakout framework.
Commissions (0.1%) and slippage (1 tick) are included in the simulation, ensuring realistic conditions.
Risk management is conservative, with order sizing set at 1 unit per trade. This avoids over-leveraging and keeps exposure well under the 5-10% equity risk guideline.
👉 Traders are encouraged to:
Experiment with inputs such as ATR period, breakout length, or Bollinger parameters.
Test across different timeframes and instruments (equities, futures, forex, crypto) to find optimal setups.
Combine with filters (trend direction, volatility regimes, or volume conditions) for further refinement.
⚠️ Disclaimer This script is provided for educational purposes only.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Trading involves risk, and users should exercise caution and use proper risk management when applying this strategy.
ATR SPREADThis is a comprehensive ATR SPREAD indicator for TradingView that combines volatility monitoring with spread analysis. Here's what it does and why it's useful:

It provides a comprehensive view of both price movement potential (ATR) and execution environment quality (spreads) in a single, professional-grade tool.
Z-Score Regression Bands [BOSWaves]Z-Score Regression Bands – Adaptive Trend and Volatility Insight
Overview
The Z-Score Regression Bands is a trend and volatility analysis framework designed to give traders a clear, structured view of price behavior. It combines Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) regression, a statistical method to detect underlying trends, with Z-Score standardization, which measures how far price deviates from its recent average.
Traditional moving average bands, like Bollinger Bands, often lag behind trends or generate false signals in noisy markets. Z-Score Regression Bands addresses these limitations by:
Tracking trends accurately using LSMA regression
Normalizing deviations with Z-Scores to identify statistically significant price extremes
Visualizing multiple bands for normal, strong, and extreme moves
Highlighting trend shifts using diamond markers based on Z-Score crossings
This multi-layered approach allows traders to understand trend strength, detect overextensions, and identify periods of low or high volatility — all from a single, clear chart overlay. It is designed for traders of all levels and can be applied across scalping, day trading, swing trading, and longer-term strategies.
Theoretical Foundation
The Z-Score Regression Bands are grounded in statistical and trend analysis principles. Here’s the idea in plain terms:
Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) – Unlike standard moving averages, LSMA fits a straight line to recent price data using regression. This “best-fit” line shows the underlying trend more precisely and reduces lag, helping traders see trend changes earlier.
Z-Score Standardization – A Z-Score expresses how far the LSMA is from its recent mean in standard deviation units. This shows whether price is unusually high or low, which can indicate potential reversals, pullbacks, or acceleration of a trend.
Multi-Band Structure – The three bands represent: Band #1: Normal range of price fluctuations; Band #2: Significant deviation from the trend; Band #3: Extreme price levels that are statistically rare. The distance between bands dynamically adapts to market volatility, allowing traders to visualize expansions (higher volatility) and contractions (lower volatility).
Trend Signals – When Z-Score crosses zero, diamonds appear on the chart. These markers signal potential trend initiation, continuation, or reversal, offering a simple alert for shifts in market momentum.
How It Works
The indicator calculates and plots several layers of information:
LSMA Regression (Trend Detection)
Computes a line that best fits recent price points.
The LSMA line smooths out minor fluctuations while reflecting the general direction of the market.
Z-Score Calculation (Deviation Measurement)
Standardizes the LSMA relative to its recent average.
Positive Z-Score → LSMA above average, negative → LSMA below average.
Helps identify overbought or oversold conditions relative to the trend.
Multi-Band Construction (Volatility Envelope)
Upper and lower bands are placed at configurable multiples of standard deviation.
Band #1 captures typical price movement, Band #2 signals stronger deviation, Band #3 highlights extreme moves.
Bands expand and contract with volatility, giving an intuitive visual guide to market conditions.
Trend Signals (Diamonds)
Appear when Z-Score crosses zero.
Indicates moments when momentum may shift, helping traders time entries or exits.
Visual Interpretation
Band width = volatility: wide bands indicate strong movement; narrow bands indicate calm periods.
LSMA shows underlying trend direction, while bands show how far price has strayed from that trend.
Interpretation
The Z-Score Regression Bands provide a multi-dimensional view of market behavior:
Trend Analysis – LSMA line slope shows general market direction.
Momentum & Volatility – Z-Score indicates whether the trend is accelerating or losing strength; band width indicates volatility levels.
Price Extremes – Price touching Band #2 or #3 may suggest overextension and potential reversals.
Trend Shifts – Diamonds signal statistically significant changes in momentum.
Cycle Awareness – Standard deviation bands help distinguish normal market fluctuations from extreme events.
By combining these insights, traders can avoid false signals and react to meaningful structural shifts in the market.
Strategy Integration
Trend Following
Enter trades when diamonds indicate momentum aligns with LSMA direction.
Use Band #1 and #2 for stop placement and partial exits.
Breakout Trading
Watch for narrow bands (low volatility) followed by price pushing outside Band #1 or #2.
Confirm with Z-Score movement in the breakout direction.
Mean Reversion/Pullback
If price reaches Band #2 or #3 without continuation, expect a pullback toward LSMA.
Exhaustion & Reversals
Flattening Z-Score near zero while price remains at extreme bands signals trend weakening.
Tighten stops or scale out before a potential reversal.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
High timeframe LSMA confirms the main trend.
Lower timeframe bands provide refined entry and exit points.
Technical Implementation
LSMA Regression : Best-fit line minimizes lag and captures trend slope.
Z-Score Standardization : Normalizes deviation to allow consistent interpretation across markets.
Multi-Band Envelope : Three layers for normal, strong, and extreme deviations.

Disclaimer
The Z-Score Regression Bands is a trading analysis tool, not a guaranteed profit system. Its effectiveness depends on market conditions, parameter selection, and disciplined risk management. Use it as part of a broader trading strategy, not in isolation.
Trend TraderThe Trend Trader indicator is a trend-following tool based on a triple EMA (Exponential Moving Average) setup designed to help traders identify market direction and potential reversal zones. It plots three customizable EMAs on the chart to highlight bullish and bearish momentum, then generates trade signals when price shows a strong likelihood of continuing in the direction of the prevailing trend.
EMA Alignment: The indicator checks for bullish stacking (fast EMA above medium, medium above slow) and bearish stacking (fast EMA below medium, medium below slow). This alignment defines the prevailing market trend.
Trend Validation: A user-defined lookback period ensures signals are only taken if the market recently displayed a stacked trend, thus filtering false entries during consolidations.
Signal Generation: Buy signals appear when price dips into the zone between the fast and medium EMAs during a bullish trend. Sell signals appear when price rallies into the zone between the fast and medium EMAs during a bearish trend.
Alerts: Built-in alerts notify traders of new trade opportunities without having to constantly watch the chart.
This indicator is suitable for swing trading and intraday strategies across multiple markets, including forex, stocks, indices, and crypto.
Suggested Strategy for Profitability
This tool is best used as part of a structured trend-trading plan. Below is a suggested framework:
Entry Rules
Long (Buy Trade):
Confirm that EMA alignment is bullish (EMA1 > EMA2 > EMA3).
Wait for a Buy Signal (triangle up below price).
Ensure the higher timeframe (e.g., 4H if trading 1H) trend is also bullish to filter trades.
Short (Sell Trade):
Confirm EMA alignment is bearish (EMA1 < EMA2 < EMA3).
Wait for a Sell Signal (triangle down above price).
Higher timeframe should also be bearish to increase probability.
Stop Loss
For long positions, place the stop loss just below EMA3 or the most recent swing low.
For short positions, place the stop loss just above EMA3 or the most recent swing high.
Take Profit
Conservative: Set TP at 1.5x to 2x the stop loss distance.
Aggressive: Trail stop loss below EMA2 (for longs) or above EMA2 (for shorts) to capture larger trends.
Risk Management
Use no more than 1–2% of account risk per trade.
Trade only when the signal aligns with overall market context (higher timeframe, support/resistance, or volume confirmation).
This indicator is very similar to the indicator "Trend Scalper" by the same developer, the difference is this indicator is used to just find the trade and hold the trade or to find the reversal of a trend instead of triggering alerts every time price enters between EMA1 and EMA2.

**ACD Indicator: Mark Fisher's Opening Range Breakout Strategy**
**Overview**
The ACD system, developed by legendary trader Mark Fisher in his book *The Logical Trader*, is a powerful methodology for identifying high-probability trade setups based on the market's opening range (OR). This indicator automates Layers 1 and 2 of the ACD strategy, helping you spot breakout opportunities, trend direction, and key support/resistance levels. Perfect for day traders, scalpers, and swing traders in forex, stocks, futures, or crypto.
**How It Works**
1. **Opening Range (OR)**: Calculated from the high/low of the first X minutes (default: 30-60 min) of major sessions (e.g., Tokyo, London, New York).
2. **A Levels**: Drawn at a percentage (default: 0.5% of OR range or ATR-based) above/below the OR. A breakout above A-Up signals a bullish setup; below A-Down signals bearish.
3. **C Levels**: Wider levels (default: 1-2% or ATR multiplier) for stronger confirmation. Breakouts here confirm trend strength and filter fakeouts.
4. **Pivot Ranges**: Includes daily and N-day pivots to gauge overall market bias (above pivots = bullish; below = bearish).
**Key Features**
- **Customizable Sessions**: Tokyo (00:00-01:00 GMT), London (08:00-09:00 GMT), New York (13:30-14:30 GMT) – adjustable.
- **ATR Integration**: Uses Average True Range for dynamic A/C levels (period: 14 by default).
- **Visual Alerts**: Color-coded lines (green for bullish, red for bearish) + optional labels for breakouts.
- **Pivot Display**: Show/hide daily or multi-day pivots with customizable colors.
- **Risk Management**: Built-in stop-loss suggestions based on OR width.
**Trading Rules**
- **Bullish Setup**: Price breaks and holds above A-Up → Enter long at C-Up confirmation. Target: Next pivot or 1:2 risk-reward.
- **Bearish Setup**: Price breaks below A-Down → Enter short at C-Down.
- **Avoid Fakeouts**: Wait for stabilization (e.g., close above/below level).
- **Trend Filter**: Combine with PMA (Pivot Moving Average) for Layer 3 confirmation (search "ACD PMA" in TradingView).
**Settings Guide**
- **OR Timeframe**: Session start time and duration (e.g., 30 min).
- **A Multiplier (%)**: Distance for A levels (default: 0.5).
- **C Multiplier (%)**: Distance for C levels (default: 1.0).
- **ATR Period**: For volatility-based levels (default: 14).
- **Show Pivots**: Toggle daily/N-day ranges.
This indicator balances supply/demand by analyzing volume and price action within the opening range. Backtest on your favorite pairs (e.g., EURUSD, BTCUSD) and adjust for your style. Not financial advice – always use proper risk management!

EMA Separation (LFZ Scalps) v6 — Early TriggerPlots the percentage distance between a fast and a slow EMA (default 9 & 21) to gauge trend strength and filter out choppy London Flow Zone breakouts.
• Gray – EMAs nearly flat (low momentum, avoid trades)
• Orange – early trend building
• Green/Red – strong directional momentum
Useful for day-traders: wait for the gap to widen beyond your chosen threshold (e.g., 0.25 %) before entering a breakout. Adjustable EMA lengths and alert when the separation exceeds your “strong trend” level.
KD The ScalperWe have to take the trade when all three EMAs are pointing in the same direction (no criss-cross, no up/down, sideways). All 3 EMAs should be cleanly separated from each other with strong spacing between them; they are not tangled, sideways, or messy. This is our first filter before entering the trade. Are the EMAs stacked neatly, and is the price outside of the 25 EMA? If price pulls back and closes near or below the 25 or 50 EMA and breaks the 100 EMA, we don't trade. Use the 100 EMA as a safety net and refrain from trading if the price touches or falls below the 100 EMA.
1. Confirm the trend- All 3 EMAs must align, and they must spread
2. Watch price pull back to the 25th or the 50 EMA
3. Wait for the price to bounce - And re-approach the 25 EMA
Why is this powerful?
Removes 80% of the low-probability Trades
It keeps you out of choppy markets
Avoids Reversal Traps
Anchors us to momentum
We take the entry when the price moves up again and touches the 25 EMA from below, and then when it breaks above the 25 EMA, or even better, when a lovely green bullish candle forms. A bullish candle indicates good momentum. When a bullish candle closes in green, it means the momentum has increased significantly. This is when we enter a long trade, with the stop-loss just below the 50 EMA and the profit target being 1.5 times the stop-loss.
The same rule applies to the bearish trade.
HFT Jude FootprintThis script is designed to detect potential High-Frequency Trader (HFT) activity based on unusual volume spikes and candle behavior, in order to identify potential intraday breakout opportunities. It is best suited for 3-minute and 5-minute charts across NSE-listed stocks.
How It Works
The strategy combines three core conditions:
Volume Spike Multiplier: Detects when current volume is > X times the rolling average (e.g., 5× 20-bar average volume).
Breakout Confirmation: Entry is considered only if the close is:
Near the high (for longs) or low (for shorts) of the candle.
Higher than the previous high (for longs), or lower than previous low (for shorts).
Visual Signal: When all conditions align, a Buy or Sell label is plotted on the chart, right at the candle where the footprint is detected.
This script is tailored for scalpers, intraday traders, and HFT watchers. It is not a mash-up of generic indicators and based on my backtesting and observation of large HFT firms that operate in the indian equities market,

SuperSmoother MA OscillatorSuperSmoother MA Oscillator - Ehlers-Inspired Lag-Minimized Signal Framework
Overview
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator is a crossover and momentum detection framework built on the pioneering work of John F. Ehlers, who introduced digital signal processing (DSP) concepts into technical analysis. Traditional moving averages such as SMA and EMA are prone to two persistent flaws: excessive lag, which delays recognition of trend shifts, and high-frequency noise, which produces unreliable whipsaw signals. Ehlers’ SuperSmoother filter was designed to specifically address these flaws by creating a low-pass filter with minimal lag and superior noise suppression, inspired by engineering methods used in communications and radar systems.
This oscillator extends Ehlers’ foundation by combining the SuperSmoother filter with multi-length moving average oscillation, ATR-based normalization, and dynamic color coding. The result is a tool that helps traders identify market momentum, detect reliable crossovers earlier than conventional methods, and contextualize volatility and phase shifts without being distracted by transient price noise.
Unlike conventional oscillators, which either oversimplify price structure or overload the chart with reactive signals, the SuperSmoother MA Oscillator is designed to balance responsiveness and stability. By preprocessing price data with the SuperSmoother filter, traders gain a signal framework that is clean, robust, and adaptable across assets and timeframes.
Theoretical Foundation
Traditional MA oscillators such as MACD or dual-EMA systems react to raw or lightly smoothed price inputs. While effective in some conditions, these signals are often distorted by high-frequency oscillations inherent in market data, leading to false crossovers and poor timing. The SuperSmoother approach modifies this dynamic: by attenuating unwanted frequencies, it preserves structural price movements while eliminating meaningless noise.
This is particularly useful for traders who need to distinguish between genuine market cycles and random short-term price flickers. In practical terms, the oscillator helps identify:
Early trend continuations (when fast averages break cleanly above/below slower averages).
Preemptive breakout setups (when compressed oscillator ranges expand).
Exhaustion phases (when oscillator swings flatten despite continued price movement).
Its multi-purpose design allows traders to apply it flexibly across scalping, day trading, swing setups, and longer-term trend positioning, without needing separate tools for each.
The oscillator’s visual system - fast/slow lines, dynamic coloration, and zero-line crossovers - is structured to provide trend clarity without hiding nuance. Strong green/red momentum confirms directional conviction, while neutral gray phases emphasize uncertainty or low conviction. This ensures traders can quickly gauge the market state without losing access to subtle structural signals.
How It Works
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator builds signals through a layered process:
SuperSmoother Filtering (Ehlers’ Method)
At its core lies Ehlers’ two-pole recursive filter, mathematically engineered to suppress high-frequency components while introducing minimal lag. Compared to traditional EMA smoothing, the SuperSmoother achieves better spectral separation - it allows meaningful cyclical market structures to pass through, while eliminating erratic spikes and aliasing. This makes it a superior preprocessing stage for oscillator inputs.
Fast and Slow Line Construction
Within the oscillator framework, the filtered price series is used to build two internal moving averages: a fast line (short-term momentum) and a slow line (longer-term directional bias). These are not plotted directly on the chart - instead, their relationship is transformed into the oscillator values you see.
The interaction between these two internal averages - crossovers, separation, and compression - forms the backbone of trend detection:
Uptrend Signal : Fast MA rises above the slow MA with expanding distance, generating a positive oscillator swing.
Downtrend Signal : Fast MA falls below the slow MA with widening divergence, producing a negative oscillator swing.
Neutral/Transition : Lines compress, flattening the oscillator near zero and often preceding volatility expansion.
This design ensures traders receive the information content of dual-MA crossovers while keeping the chart visually clean and focused on the oscillator’s dynamics.
ATR-Based Normalization
Markets vary in volatility. To ensure the oscillator behaves consistently across assets, ATR (Average True Range) normalization scales outputs relative to prevailing volatility conditions. This prevents the oscillator from appearing overly sensitive in calm markets or too flat during high-volatility regimes.
Dynamic Color Coding
Color transitions reflect underlying market states:
Strong Green : Bullish alignment, momentum expanding.
Strong Red : Bearish alignment, momentum expanding.
These visual cues allow traders to quickly gauge trend direction and strength at a glance, with expanding colors indicating increasing conviction in the underlying momentum.
Interpretation
The oscillator offers a multi-dimensional view of price dynamics:
Trend Analysis : Fast/slow line alignment and zero-line interactions reveal trend direction and strength. Expansions indicate momentum building; contractions flag weakening conditions or potential reversals.
Momentum & Volatility : Rapid divergence between lines reflects increasing momentum. Compression highlights periods of reduced volatility and possible upcoming expansion.
Cycle Awareness : Because of Ehlers’ DSP foundation, the oscillator captures market cycles more cleanly than conventional MA systems, allowing traders to anticipate turning points before raw price action confirms them.
Divergence Detection : When oscillator momentum fades while price continues in the same direction, it signals exhaustion - a cue to tighten stops or anticipate reversals.
By focusing on filtered, volatility-adjusted signals, traders avoid overreacting to noise while gaining early access to structural changes in momentum.
Strategy Integration
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator adapts across multiple trading approaches:
Trend Following
Enter when fast/slow alignment is strong and expanding:
A fast line crossing above the slow line with expanding green signals confirms bullish continuation.
Use ATR-normalized expansion to filter entries in line with prevailing volatility.
Breakout Trading
Periods of compression often precede breakouts:
A breakout occurs when fast lines diverge decisively from slow lines with renewed green/red strength.
Exhaustion and Reversals
Oscillator divergence signals weakening trends:
Flattening momentum while price continues trending may indicate overextension.
Traders can exit or hedge positions in anticipation of corrective phases.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Apply the oscillator on higher timeframes to confirm the directional bias.
Use lower timeframes for refined entries during compression → expansion transitions.
Technical Implementation Details
SuperSmoother Algorithm (Ehlers) : Recursive two-pole filter minimizes lag while removing high-frequency noise.
Oscillator Framework : Fast/slow MAs derived from filtered prices.
ATR Normalization : Ensures consistent amplitude across market regimes.
Dynamic Color Engine : Aligns visual cues with structural states (expansion and contraction).
Multi-Factor Analysis : Combines crossover logic, volatility context, and cycle detection for robust outputs.
This layered approach ensures the oscillator is highly responsive without overloading charts with noise.
Optimal Application Parameters
Asset-Specific Guidance:
Forex : Normalize with moderate ATR scaling; focus on slow-line confirmation.
Equities : Balance responsiveness with smoothing; useful for capturing sector rotations.
Cryptocurrency : Higher ATR multipliers recommended due to volatility.
Futures/Indices : Lower frequency settings highlight structural trends.
Timeframe Optimization:
Scalping (1-5min) : Higher sensitivity, prioritize fast-line signals.
Intraday (15m-1h) : Balance between fast/slow expansions.
Swing (4h-Daily) : Focus on slow-line momentum with fast-line timing.
Position (Daily-Weekly) : Slow lines dominate; fast lines highlight cycle shifts.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending environments with moderate-to-high volatility.
Assets with steady liquidity and clear cyclical structures.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Flat/choppy conditions with little directional bias.
Ultra-short timeframes (<1m), where noise dominates.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence : Combine with liquidity zones, order blocks, and volume-based indicators for confirmation.
Risk Management : Place stops beyond slow-line thresholds or ATR-defined zones.
Dynamic Trade Management : Use expansions/contractions to scale position sizes or tighten stops.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Filter lower-timeframe entries with higher-timeframe momentum states.
Disclaimer
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator is an advanced trend and momentum analysis tool, not a guaranteed profit system. Its effectiveness depends on proper parameter settings per asset and disciplined risk management. Traders should use it as part of a broader technical framework and not in isolation.

HUD shows ATR(length) so you always know the calculation basis. Default = 14, adjustable
to your style.
• ATR Regime Meter
Detects volatility conditions (LOW / NORMAL / HIGH) by comparing ATR to its SMA. Helps
you avoid over-tight stops in high-volatility markets.
• Tick-Aware Rounding
Stop levels auto-rounded to the instrument’s tick size (Gold = 0.10, FX = 0.0001, indices =
whole points).
Custom HUD Design
• Location: Top/Bottom, Left/Right
• Sizes: Compact / Medium / Large (desktop or mobile)
• Opacity control (25% default Apex styling)
How to Use
1. Load Sentinel on your chart.
2. Check the HUD:
• ATR(14): 2.6 → base volatility measure.
• x1.5 / x2.0 / x2.5 → instant SL levels for both long & short trades.
3. Before entering a trade → decide which multiplier matches your style (tight scalper vs wider swing).
4. Manually place your SL at the level displayed in the HUD.
Sentinel works as both:
• A pre-trade check (is ATR stop too wide for my RR?).
• A live risk compass (updated stop levels every bar).
Why Apex Sentinel?
Most ATR stop indicators clutter charts with lagging lines or repainting trails. Sentinel strips it back to what matters:
• The numbers.
• The risk levels.
• The context.
It’s a pure stop-loss HUD, designed for serious traders who want clarity, discipline, and instant reference points across any market or timeframe.
Notes
• This is a HUD-only system (no automatic SL line). Traders manually apply the SL level
shown in the panel.
• Defaults: ATR(14), multipliers 1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5. Adjust to your trading style.
• Best used on intraday pairs like XAUUSD, EURUSD, indices, but works universally.
Apex Edge Philosophy: Clean. Smart. Institutional.
No clutter. No gimmicks. Just precision tools for modern markets.
