Holographic Market Microstructure | AlphaNattHolographic Market Microstructure | AlphaNatt A multidimensional, holographically-rendered framework designed to expose the invisible forces shaping every candle — liquidity voids, smart money footprints, order flow imbalances, and structural evolution — in real time. --- 📘 Overview The Holographic Market Microstructure (HMS) is not a traditional indicator. It’s a visual architecture built to interpret the true anatomy of the market — a living data structure that fuses price, volume, and liquidity into one coherent holographic layer. Instead of reacting to candles, HMS visualizes the market’s underlying micro-dynamics : where liquidity hides, where volume flows, and how structure morphs as smart money accumulates or distributes. Designed for system-based traders, volume analysts, and liquidity theorists who demand to see the unseen — the invisible grid driving every price movement. --- 🔬 Core Analytical Modules Microstructure Analysis Deconstructs each bar’s internal composition to identify imbalance between aggressive buying and selling. Using a configurable Imbalance Ratio and Liquidity Threshold , the algorithm marks low-liquidity zones and price inefficiencies as “liquidity voids.” • Detects hidden supply/demand gaps. • Quantifies micro-level absorption and exhaustion. • Reveals flow compression and expansion phases. Smart Money Tracking Applies advanced volume-rate-of-change and price momentum relationships to map institutional activity. • Accumulation Zones – Where price rises on expanding volume. • Distribution Zones – Where price declines on rising volume. • Automatically visualized as glowing boxes, layered through time to simulate footprint persistence. Fractal Structure Mapping Reveals the recursive nature of price formation. HMS detects fractal highs/lows, then connects them into an evolving structure. • Defines nested market structure across multiple scales. • Maps trend progression and transition points. • Renders with adaptive glow lines to reflect depth and strength. Volume Heat Map Transforms historical volume data into a 3D holographic heat projection. • Each band represents a volume-weighted price level. • Gradient brightness = relative participation intensity. • Helps identify volume nodes, voids, and liquidity corridors. HUD Display System Real-time analytical dashboard summarizing the system’s internal metrics directly on the chart. • Flow, Structure, Smart$, Liquidity, and Divergence — all live. • Designed for both scalpers and swing traders to assess micro-context instantly. --- 🧠 Smart Money Intelligence Layer The Smart Money Index dynamically evaluates the harmony (or conflict) between price momentum and volume acceleration. When institutions accumulate or distribute discreetly, volume surges ahead of price. HMS detects this divergence and overlays it as glowing smart money zones. ◈ ACCUM → Institutional absorption, early uptrend formation. ◈ DISTRIB → Distribution and top-heavy conditions. ○ IDLE → Neutral flow equilibrium. Divergences between price and volume are signaled using holographic alerts ( ⚠ ALERT ) to highlight exhaustion or trap conditions — often precursors to structural reversals. --- 🌀 Fractal Market Structure Engine The fractal subsystem recursively identifies local pivot symmetry, connecting micro-structural highs and lows into a holographic skeleton. • Bullish Structure — Higher highs & higher lows align (▲ BULLISH). • Bearish Structure — Lower highs & lower lows dominate (▼ BEARISH). • Ranging — Fractal symmetry balance (◆ RANGING). Each transition is visually represented through adaptive glow intensity, producing a living contour of market evolution . --- 🔥 Volume Heat Map Projection The heatmap acts as a volumetric X-ray of the recent 100–300 bars. Each horizontal segment reflects liquidity density, rendered with gradient opacity from cold (inactive) to hot (highly active). • Detects hidden accumulation shelves and distribution ridges. • Identifies imbalanced liquidity corridors (voids). • Reveals the invisible scaffolding of the order book. When combined with smart money zones and structure lines, it creates a multi-layered holographic perspective — allowing traders to see liquidity clusters and their interaction with evolving structure in real time. --- 💎 Holographic Visual Engine Every element of HMS is dynamically color-mapped to its visual theme . Each theme carries a distinct personality: Aeon — Neon blue plasma aesthetic; futuristic and fluid. Cyber — High-contrast digital energy; circuit-like clarity. Quantum — Deep space gradients; reflective of non-linear flow. Neural — Organic transitions; biological intelligence simulation. Plasma — Vapor-bright gradients; high-energy reactive feedback. Crystal — Minimalist, transparent geometry; pristine data visibility. Optional Glow Effects and Pulse Animations create a living hologram that responds to real-time market conditions. --- 🧭 HUD Analytics Table A live data matrix placed anywhere on-screen (top, middle, or side). It summarizes five critical systems: Flow: Order flow bias — ▲ BUYING / ▼ SELLING / ◆ NEUTRAL. Struct: Microstructure direction — ▲ BULLISH / ▼ BEARISH / ◆ RANGING. Smart$: Institutional behavior — ◈ ACCUM / ◈ DISTRIB / ○ IDLE. Liquid: Market efficiency — ⚡ VOID / ● NORMAL. Diverg: Price/Volume correlation — ⚠ ALERT / ✓ CLEAR. Each metric’s color dynamically adjusts according to live readings, effectively serving as a neural HUD layer for rapid interpretation. --- 🚨 Alert Conditions Stay informed in real time with built-in alerts that trigger under specific structural or liquidity conditions. Liquidity Void Detected — Market inefficiency or thin volume region identified. Strong Order Flow Detected — Aggressive buying or selling momentum shift. Smart Money Activity — Institutional accumulation or distribution underway. Price/Volume Divergence — Volume fails to confirm price trend. Market Structure Shift — Fractal structure flips directional bias. --- ⚙️ Customization Parameters Adjustable Microstructure Depth (20–200 bars). Configurable Imbalance Ratio and Liquidity Threshold . Adaptive Smart Money Sensitivity via Accumulation Threshold (%). Multiple Fractal Depth Layers for precise structural analysis. Scalable Heatmap Resolution (5–20 levels) and opacity control. Selectable HUD Position to suit personal layout preferences. Each parameter adjusts the balance between visual clarity and data density , ensuring optimal performance across intraday and macro timeframes alike. --- 🧩 Trading Application Identify early signs of institutional activity before breakouts. Track structure transitions with fractal precision. Locate hidden liquidity voids and high-value areas. Confirm strength of trends using order-flow bias. Detect volume-based divergences that often precede reversals. HMS is designed not just for observation — but for contextual understanding . Its purpose is to help traders anchor strategies in liquidity and flow dynamics rather than surface-level price action. --- 🪞 Philosophy Markets are holographic. Each candle contains a reflection of every other candle — a fractal within a fractal, a structure within a structure. The HMS is built to reveal that reflection, allowing traders to see through the market’s multidimensional fabric. --- Developed by: AlphaNatt Version: v6 Category: Market Microstructure | Volume Intelligence Framework: PineScript v6 | Holographic Visualization System Not financial advice

Quarterly Theory ICT 05 [TradingFinder] Doubling Theory Signals🔵 Introduction Doubling Theory is an advanced approach to price action and market structure analysis that uniquely combines time-based analysis with key Smart Money concepts such as SMT (Smart Money Technique), SSMT (Sequential SMT), Liquidity Sweep, and the Quarterly Theory ICT. By leveraging fractal time structures and precisely identifying liquidity zones, this method aims to reveal institutional activity specifically smart money entry and exit points hidden within price movements. At its core, the market is divided into two structural phases: Doubling 1 and Doubling 2. Each phase contains four quarters (Q1 through Q4), which follow the logic of the Quarterly Theory: Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal. These segments are anchored by the True Open, allowing for precise alignment with cyclical market behavior and providing a deeper structural interpretation of price action. During Doubling 1, a Sequential SMT (SSMT) Divergence typically forms between two correlated assets. This time-structured divergence occurs between two swing points positioned in separate quarters (e.g., Q1 and Q2), where one asset breaks a significant low or high, while the second asset fails to confirm it. This lack of confirmation—especially when aligned with the Manipulation and Accumulation phases—often signals early smart money involvement. Following this, the highest and lowest price points from Doubling 1 are designated as liquidity zones. As the market transitions into Doubling 2, it commonly returns to these zones in a calculated move known as a Liquidity Sweep—a sharp, engineered spike intended to trigger stop orders and pending positions. This sweep, often orchestrated by institutional players, facilitates entry into large positions with minimal slippage. Bullish : Bearish : 🔵 How to Use Applying Doubling Theory requires a simultaneous understanding of temporal structure and inter-asset behavioral divergence. The method unfolds over two main phases—Doubling 1 and Doubling 2—each divided into four quarters (Q1 to Q4). The first phase focuses on identifying a Sequential SMT (SSMT) divergence, which forms when two correlated assets (e.g., EURUSD and GBPUSD, or NQ and ES) react differently to key price levels across distinct quarters. For example, one asset may break a previous low while the other maintains structure. This misalignment—especially in Q2, the Manipulation phase—often indicates early smart money accumulation or distribution. Once this divergence is observed, the extreme highs and lows of Doubling 1 are marked as liquidity zones. In Doubling 2, the market gravitates back toward these zones, executing a Liquidity Sweep. This move is deliberate—designed to activate clustered stop-loss and pending orders and to exploit pockets of resting liquidity. These sweeps are typically driven by institutional forces looking to absorb liquidity and position themselves ahead of the next major price move. The key to execution lies in the fact that, during the sweep in Doubling 2, a classic SMT divergence should also appear between the two assets. This indicates a weakening of the previous trend and adds an extra layer of confirmation. 🟣 Bullish Doubling Theory In the bullish scenario, Doubling 1 begins with a bullish SSMT divergence, where one asset forms a lower low while the other maintains its structure. This divergence signals weakening bearish momentum and possible smart money accumulation. In Doubling 2, the market returns to the previous low and sweeps the liquidity zone—breaking below it on one asset, while the second fails to confirm, forming a bullish SMT divergence. f this move is followed by a bullish PSP and a clear market structure break (MSB), a long entry is triggered. The stop-loss is placed just below the swept liquidity zone, while the target is set in the premium zone, anticipating a move driven by institutional buyers. 🟣 Bearish Doubling Theory The bearish scenario follows the same structure in reverse. In Doubling 1, a bearish SSMT divergence occurs when one asset prints a higher high while the other fails to do so. This suggests distribution and weakening buying pressure. Then, in Doubling 2, the market returns to the previous high and executes a liquidity sweep, targeting trapped buyers. A bearish SMT divergence appears, confirming the move, followed by a bearish PSP on the lower timeframe. A short position is initiated after a confirmed MSB, with the stop-loss placed 🔵 Settings ⚙️ Logical Settings Quarterly Cycles Type : Select the time segmentation method for SMT analysis. Available modes include : Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 90 Minute, and Micro. These define how the indicator divides market time into Q1–Q4 cycles. Symbol : Choose the secondary asset to compare with the main chart asset (e.g., XAUUSD, US100, GBPUSD). Pivot Period : Sets the sensitivity of the pivot detection algorithm. A smaller value increases responsiveness to price swings. Pivot Sync Threshold : The maximum allowed difference (in bars) between pivots of the two assets for them to be compared. Validity Pivot Length : Defines the time window (in bars) during which a divergence remains valid before it's considered outdated. 🎨 Display Settings Show Cycle :Toggles the visual display of the current Quarter (Q1 to Q4) based on the selected time segmentation Show Cycle Label : Shows the name (e.g., "Q2") of each detected Quarter on the chart. Show Labels : Displays dynamic labels (e.g., “Q2”, “Bullish SMT”, “Sweep”) at relevant points. Show Lines : Draws connection lines between key pivot or divergence points. Color Settings : Allows customization of colors for bullish and bearish elements (lines, labels, and shapes) 🔔 Alert Settings Alert Name : Custom name for the alert messages (used in TradingView’s alert system). Message Frequenc y: All : Every signal triggers an alert. Once Per Bar : Alerts once per bar regardless of how many signals occur. Per Bar Close : Only triggers when the bar closes and the signal still exists. Time Zone Display : Choose the time zone in which alert timestamps are displayed (e.g., UTC). Bullish SMT Divergence Alert : Enable/disable alerts specifically for bullish signals. Bearish SMT Divergence Alert : Enable/disable alerts specifically for bearish signals 🔵 Conclusion Doubling Theory is a powerful and structured framework within the realm of Smart Money Concepts and ICT methodology, enabling traders to detect high-probability reversal points with precision. By integrating SSMT, SMT, Liquidity Sweeps, and the Quarterly Theory into a unified system, this approach shifts the focus from reactive trading to anticipatory analysis—anchored in time, structure, and liquidity. What makes Doubling Theory stand out is its logical synergy of time cycles, behavioral divergence, liquidity targeting, and institutional confirmation. In both bullish and bearish scenarios, it provides clearly defined entry and exit strategies, allowing traders to engage the market with confidence, controlled risk, and deeper insight into the mechanics of price manipulation and smart money footprints.

ICT Power Of Three | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW Introducing our new ICT Power Of Three Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Power Of Three" strategy. This strategy makes use of these 3 key smart money concepts : Accumulation, Manipulation and Distribution. Each step is explained in detail within this write-up. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section. Features of the new ICT Power Of Three Indicator : Implementation of ICT's Power Of Three Strategy Different Algorithm Modes Customizable Execution Settings Customizable Backtesting Dashboard Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals 📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ? The "Power Of Three" comes from these three keywords "Accumulation, Manipulation and Distribution". Here is a brief explanation of each keyword : Accumulation -> Accumulation phase is when the smart money accumulate their positions in a fixed range. This phase indicates price stability, generally meaning that the price constantly switches between up & down trend between a low and a high pivot point. When the indicator detects an accumulation zone, the Power Of Three strategy begins. Manipulation -> When the smart money needs to increase their position sizes, they need retail traders' positions for liquidity. So, they manipulate the market into the opposite direction of their intended direction. This will result in retail traders opening positions the way that the smart money intended them to do, creating liquidity. After this step, the real move that the smart money intended begins. Distribution -> This is when the real intention of the smart money comes into action. With the new liquidity thanks to the manipulation phase, the smart money add their positions towards the opposite direction of the retail mindset. The purpose of this indicator is to detect the accumulation and manipulation phases, and help the trader move towards the same direction as the smart money for their trades. Detection Methods Of The Indicator : Accumulation -> The indicator detects accumulation zones as explained step-by-step : 1. Draw two lines from the lowest point and the highest point of the latest X bars. 2. If the (high line - low line) is lower than Average True Range (ATR) * accumulationConstant 3. After the condition is validated, an accumulation zone is detected. The accumulation zone will be invalidated and manipulation phase will begin when the range is broken. Manipulation -> If the accumulation range is broken, check if the current bar closes / wicks above the (high line + ATR * manipulationConstant) or below the (low line - ATR * manipulationConstant). If the condition is met, the indicator detects a manipulation zone. Distribution -> The purpose of this indicator is to try to foresee the distribution zone, so instead of a detection, after the manipulation zone is detected the indicator automatically create a "shadow" distribution zone towards the opposite direction of the freshly detected manipulation zone. This shadow distribution zone comes with a take-profit and stop-loss layout, customizable by the trader in the settings. The X bars, accumulationConstant and manipulationConstant are subject to change with the "Algorithm Mode" setting. Read the "Settings" section for more information. This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart. 🚩UNIQUENESS This indicator is an all-in-one suite for the ICT's Power Of Three concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers. ⚙️SETTINGS 1. General Configuration Algorithm Mode -> The indicator offers 3 different detection algorithm modes according to your needs. Here is the explanation of each mode. a) Small Manipulation This mode has the default bar length for the accumulation detection, but a lower manipulation constant, meaning that slighter imbalances in the price action can be detected as manipulation. This setting can be useful on tickers that have lower liquidity, thus can be manipulated easier. b) Big Manipulation This mode has the default bar length for the accumulation detection, but a higher manipulation constant, meaning that heavier imbalances on the price action are required in order to detect manipulation zones. This setting can be useful on tickers that have higher liquidity, thus can be manipulated harder. c) Short Accumulation This mode has a ~70% lower bar length requirement for accumulation zone detection, and the default manipulation constant. This setting can be useful on tickers that are highly volatile and do not enter accumulation phases too often. Breakout Method -> If "Close" is selected, bar close price will be taken into calculation when Accumulation & Manipulation zone invalidation. If "Wick" is selected, a wick will be enough to validate the corresponding zone. 2. TP / SL TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm. Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted. 3. Visuals Show Zones -> Enables / Disables rendering of Accumulation (yellow) and Manipulation (red) zones.

Liquidity-Finder ICT / SMCIn the context of ICT and the Smart Money Concept, liquidity is likely viewed as a crucial factor for determining the strength and sustainability of a market move. Smart Money is often associated with large institutional traders who have the ability to influence liquidity. Liquidity Sweep: A liquidity sweep in this context might involve Smart Money intentionally executing trades across various price levels to assess market depth and liquidity. This information can be used to identify potential areas of interest for Smart Money to initiate or exit positions without causing significant price disruptions. Stop Hunt: Stop hunting is a concept that Smart Money traders may employ to deliberately trigger stop orders in the market. By doing so, they can create temporary price movements that allow them to accumulate or liquidate positions at more favorable prices before the market reacts. Smart Money Concept (SMC): The Smart Money Concept revolves around the idea that large institutional traders (Smart Money) have superior information and resources compared to retail traders. Understanding the behavior of Smart Money, as taught in ICT and SMC, involves analyzing market dynamics, order flow, and liquidity to make more informed trading decisions. Liquidating: Liquidating refers to the process of selling or closing out existing positions. In the context of Smart Money, the term could imply that institutional traders are actively managing their positions, either taking profits or cutting losses strategically based on their analysis of market conditions. The Indicator The Indicator show open liquidity as solid lines and liquidates liquidity as dashed lines Is able to send alerts for liquidity level was liquidated, liquidity level was dipped or the next close is on the other side

(#changelog) --- # Introduction **Penny Stock Short Signal Pro (PSSP)** is a comprehensive Pine Script v6 indicator specifically engineered for identifying high-probability short-selling opportunities on low-priced, high-volatility stocks. Unlike generic indicators that apply broad technical analysis, PSSP is purpose-built for the unique characteristics of penny stock price action—where parabolic moves, retail FOMO, and violent reversals create predictable patterns for prepared traders. ## Key Features - **7 Independent Detection Systems** working in concert to identify exhaustion points - **Composite Signal Engine** that requires multiple confirmations before triggering - **Real-Time Dashboard** displaying all signal states and market metrics - **Automatic Risk Management** with dynamic stop-loss and profit target calculations - **Customizable Sensitivity** for different trading styles (scalping vs. swing) - **Built-in Alert System** for all major signal types ## Who Is This For? - **Active Day Traders** looking to capitalize on intraday reversals - **Short Sellers** who specialize in penny stocks and small caps - **Momentum Traders** who want to identify when momentum is exhausting - **Risk-Conscious Traders** who need clear entry/exit levels --- # Why Short Penny Stocks? ## The Penny Stock Lifecycle Penny stocks follow a remarkably predictable lifecycle that creates shorting opportunities: ``` PHASE 1: ACCUMULATION └── Low volume, tight range └── Smart money quietly building positions PHASE 2: MARKUP / PROMOTION └── News catalyst or promotional campaign └── Volume increases, price begins rising └── Early momentum traders enter PHASE 3: DISTRIBUTION (YOUR OPPORTUNITY) └── Parabolic move attracts retail FOMO buyers └── Smart money selling into strength └── Volume climax signals exhaustion └── ⚠️ PSSP SIGNALS FIRE HERE ⚠️ PHASE 4: DECLINE └── Support breaks, panic selling └── Price returns toward origin └── Short sellers profit ``` ## Why Shorts Work on Penny Stocks 1. **No Fundamental Support**: Most penny stocks have no earnings, revenue, or assets to justify elevated prices 2. **Promotional Nature**: Many rallies are driven by promoters who will eventually stop 3. **Retail Exhaustion**: Retail buying power is finite—when it's exhausted, gravity takes over 4. **Float Dynamics**: Low float stocks move fast in both directions 5. **Technical Levels Matter**: VWAP, round numbers, and prior highs become self-fulfilling resistance --- # The 7 Core Detection Systems PSSP employs seven independent detection algorithms. Each identifies a specific type of exhaustion or reversal signal. When multiple systems fire simultaneously, the probability of a successful short dramatically increases. --- ## 1. PARABOLIC EXHAUSTION DETECTOR ### What It Detects Identifies when price has moved too far, too fast and is likely to reverse. This system looks for the classic "blow-off top" pattern common in penny stock runners. ### Technical Logic ``` Parabolic Signal = TRUE when: ├── Consecutive green candles ≥ threshold (default: 3) ├── AND price extension from VWAP ≥ threshold ATRs (default: 1.5) └── OR shooting star / upper wick rejection pattern forms ``` ### Visual Representation ``` ╱╲ ← Shooting star / upper wick ╱ ╲ (Parabolic exhaustion) ╱ ╱ ╱ ══════════════ VWAP ╱ ╱ ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks Penny stocks are notorious for parabolic moves driven by retail FOMO. When everyone who wants to buy has bought, there's no one left to push prices higher. The shooting star pattern shows that sellers are already stepping in at higher prices. ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Lookback Period | 10 | 3-30 | Bars to analyze for pattern | | Extension Threshold | 1.5 ATR | 0.5-5.0 | How far above VWAP is "parabolic" | | Consecutive Green Bars | 3 | 2-10 | Minimum green bars for exhaustion | --- ## 2. VWAP REJECTION SYSTEM ### What It Detects Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is the single most important level for institutional traders. This system identifies when price tests above VWAP and gets rejected back below—a powerful short signal. ### Technical Logic ``` VWAP Rejection = TRUE when: ├── Candle high pierces above VWAP ├── AND candle closes below VWAP ├── AND candle is bearish (close < open) └── AND rejection distance is within sensitivity threshold ``` ### Visual Representation ``` High ──→ ╱╲ ╱ ╲ VWAP ════════╱════╲═══════════ Close ←── Rejection ``` ### Extended VWAP Signals The system also tracks VWAP standard deviation bands. Rejection from the upper band (2 standard deviations above VWAP) is an even stronger signal. ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Algorithms and institutions use VWAP as their benchmark - Failed attempts to reclaim VWAP often lead to waterfall selling - VWAP acts as a "magnet" that price tends to revert toward ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Rejection Sensitivity | 0.5 ATR | 0.1-2.0 | How close to VWAP for valid rejection | | Show VWAP Line | True | - | Display VWAP on chart | | Show VWAP Bands | True | - | Display standard deviation bands | | Band Multiplier | 2.0 | 0.5-4.0 | Standard deviations for bands | --- ## 3. VOLUME CLIMAX DETECTOR ### What It Detects Identifies "blow-off tops" where extreme volume accompanies a price spike. This often marks the exact top as it represents maximum retail participation—after which buying power is exhausted. ### Technical Logic ``` Volume Climax = TRUE when: ├── Current volume ≥ (Average volume × Climax Multiple) ├── AND one of: │ ├── Selling into the high (upper wick > lower wick on green bar) │ └── OR post-climax weakness (red bar following climax bar) ``` ### Visual Representation ``` Price: ╱╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ Volume: ▂▃▅▇██▇▅▃▂▁ ↑ Volume Climax (3x+ average) ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Retail traders pile in at the top, creating volume spikes - Market makers and smart money use this liquidity to exit - Once the volume spike passes, there's no fuel left for higher prices - The "smart money selling into dumb money buying" creates the top ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Volume MA Length | 20 | 5-50 | Period for average volume calculation | | Climax Volume Multiple | 3.0x | 1.5-10.0 | Multiple of average for "climax" | | Show Volume Bars | True | - | Visual volume representation | --- ## 4. RSI DIVERGENCE ANALYZER ### What It Detects Bearish divergence occurs when price makes higher highs but RSI (momentum) makes lower highs. This indicates that momentum is weakening even as price pushes higher—a warning of imminent reversal. ### Technical Logic ``` Bearish Divergence = TRUE when: ├── RSI is in overbought territory (> threshold) ├── AND RSI is declining (current < previous < prior) └── Indicates momentum exhaustion before price catches up ``` ### Visual Representation ``` Price: /\ /\ / \ / \ ← Higher high / \/ / / RSI: /\ / \ /\ / \/ \ ← Lower high (DIVERGENCE) / \ ════════════════════ Overbought (70) ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Penny stocks often push to new highs on weaker and weaker momentum - Divergence signals that fewer buyers are participating at each new high - Eventually, the lack of buying pressure leads to collapse ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | RSI Length | 14 | 5-30 | Standard RSI calculation period | | Overbought Level | 70 | 60-90 | RSI level considered overbought | | Divergence Lookback | 14 | 5-30 | Bars to look back for swing highs | --- ## 5. KEY LEVEL REJECTION TRACKER ### What It Detects Identifies rejections from significant price levels where shorts are likely to be concentrated: High of Day (HOD), premarket highs, and psychological levels (whole and half dollars). ### Technical Logic ``` Level Rejection = TRUE when: ├── Price touches key level (within 0.2% tolerance) ├── AND candle is bearish (close < open) ├── AND close is in lower portion of candle range │ ├── Key Levels Tracked: │ ├── High of Day (HOD) │ ├── Premarket High │ └── Psychological levels ($1.00, $1.50, $2.00, etc.) ``` ### Visual Representation ``` HOD ───────────────────────────────── ╱╲ ← Rejection ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ───────────────────────────────── PM High ───────────────────────────── ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - **HOD**: The high of day is where the most traders are trapped long. Failure to break HOD often triggers stop-loss cascades - **Premarket High**: Represents overnight enthusiasm; failure to exceed often means the "news" is priced in - **Psychological Levels**: Round numbers ($1, $2, $5) attract orders and act as natural resistance ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Track HOD Rejection | True | - | Monitor high of day | | Track Premarket High | True | - | Monitor premarket resistance | | Track Psychological Levels | True | - | Monitor round numbers | --- ## 6. FAILED BREAKOUT DETECTOR ### What It Detects Identifies "bull traps" where price breaks above resistance but immediately fails and closes back below. This traps breakout buyers and often leads to accelerated selling. ### Technical Logic ``` Failed Breakout = TRUE when: ├── Price breaks above recent high (lookback period) ├── AND one of: │ ├── Same bar closes below the breakout level │ └── OR following bars show consecutive red candles ``` ### Visual Representation ``` ╱╲ ╱ ╲ ← False breakout Recent High ══╱════╲════════════════ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ← Trapped longs panic sell ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Breakout traders enter on the break, providing exit liquidity for smart money - When the breakout fails, these traders become trapped and must exit - Their forced selling accelerates the decline - Penny stocks have thin order books, making failed breakouts especially violent ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Breakout Lookback | 5 | 2-15 | Bars to define "recent high" | | Confirmation Bars | 2 | 1-5 | Bars to confirm failure | --- ## 7. MOVING AVERAGE BREAKDOWN SYSTEM ### What It Detects Monitors exponential moving averages (EMAs) for bearish crossovers and price rejections. EMA crosses often signal trend changes, while rejections from EMAs indicate resistance. ### Technical Logic ``` MA Breakdown = TRUE when: ├── Bearish EMA cross (fast crosses below slow) └── OR EMA rejection (price tests EMA from below and fails) ``` ### Visual Representation ``` ╱╲ ← Rejection from EMA ╱ ╲ EMA 9 ═══════════╱════╲═══════════ ╲ EMA 20 ═══════════════════╲════════ ╲ Bearish cross ↓ ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - EMAs smooth out the noise and show underlying trend direction - When fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, it signals momentum shift - Rejected attempts to reclaim EMAs show sellers are in control ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Fast EMA | 9 | 3-20 | Short-term trend | | Slow EMA | 20 | 10-50 | Medium-term trend | | Show EMAs | True | - | Display on chart | --- # Installation & Setup ## Step 1: Access Pine Editor 1.

Intrabar Volume Flow IntelligenceIntrabar Volume Flow Intelligence: A Comprehensive Analysis: The Intrabar Volume Flow Intelligence indicator represents a sophisticated approach to understanding market dynamics through the lens of volume analysis at a granular, intrabar level. This Pine Script version 5 indicator transcends traditional volume analysis by dissecting price action within individual bars to reveal the true nature of buying and selling pressure that often remains hidden when examining only the external characteristics of completed candlesticks. At its core, this indicator operates on the principle that volume is the fuel that drives price movement, and by understanding where volume is being applied within each bar—whether at higher prices indicating buying pressure or at lower prices indicating selling pressure—traders can gain a significant edge in anticipating future price movements before they become obvious to the broader market. The foundational innovation of this indicator lies in its use of lower timeframe data to analyze what happens inside each bar on your chart timeframe. While most traders see only the open, high, low, and close of a five-minute candle, for example, this indicator requests data from a one-minute timeframe by default to see all the individual one-minute candles that comprise that five-minute bar. This intrabar analysis allows the indicator to calculate a weighted intensity score based on where the price closed within each sub-bar's range. If the close is near the high, that volume is attributed more heavily to buying pressure; if near the low, to selling pressure. This methodology is far more nuanced than simple tick volume analysis or even traditional volume delta calculations because it accounts for the actual price behavior and distribution of volume throughout the formation of each bar, providing a three-dimensional view of market participation. The intensity calculation itself demonstrates the coding sophistication embedded in this indicator. For each intrabar segment, the indicator calculates a base intensity using the formula of close minus low divided by the range between high and low. This gives a value between zero and one, where values approaching one indicate closes near the high and values approaching zero indicate closes near the low. However, the indicator doesn't stop there—it applies an open adjustment factor that considers the relationship between the close and open positions within the overall range, adding up to twenty percent additional weighting based on directional movement. This adjustment ensures that strongly directional intrabar movement receives appropriate emphasis in the final volume allocation. The adjusted intensity is then bounded between zero and one to prevent extreme outliers from distorting the analysis, demonstrating careful consideration of edge cases and data integrity. The volume flow calculation multiplies this intensity by the actual volume transacted in each intrabar segment, creating buy volume and sell volume figures that represent not just quantity but quality of market participation. These figures are accumulated across all intrabar segments within the parent bar, and simultaneously, a volume-weighted average price is calculated for the entire bar using the typical price of each segment multiplied by its volume. This intrabar VWAP becomes a critical reference point for understanding whether the overall bar is trading above or below its fair value as determined by actual transaction levels. The deviation from this intrabar VWAP is then used as a weighting mechanism—when the close is significantly above the intrabar VWAP, buying volume receives additional weight; when below, selling volume is emphasized. This creates a feedback loop where volume that moves price away from equilibrium is recognized as more significant than volume that keeps price near balance. The imbalance filter represents another layer of analytical sophistication that separates meaningful volume flows from normal market noise. The indicator calculates the absolute difference between buy and sell volume as a percentage of total volume, and this imbalance must exceed a user-defined threshold—defaulted to twenty-five percent but adjustable from five to eighty percent—before the volume flow is considered significant enough to register on the indicator. This filtering mechanism ensures that only bars with clear directional conviction contribute to the cumulative flow measurements, while bars with balanced buying and selling are essentially ignored. This is crucial because markets spend considerable time in equilibrium states where volume is simply facilitating position exchanges without directional intent. By filtering out these neutral periods, the indicator focuses trader attention exclusively on moments when one side of the market is demonstrating clear dominance. The decay factor implementation showcases advanced state management in Pine Script coding. Rather than allowing imbalanced volume to simply disappear after one bar, the indicator maintains decayed values using variable state that persists across bars. When a new significant imbalance occurs, it replaces the decayed value; when no significant imbalance is present, the previous value is multiplied by the decay factor, which defaults to zero point eight-five. This means that a large volume imbalance continues to influence the indicator for several bars afterward, gradually diminishing in impact unless reinforced by new imbalances. This decay mechanism creates persistence in the flow measurements, acknowledging that large institutional volume accumulation or distribution campaigns don't execute in single bars but rather unfold across multiple bars. The cumulative flow calculation then sums these decayed values over a lookback period, creating a running total that represents sustained directional pressure rather than momentary spikes. The dual moving average crossover system applied to these volume flows creates actionable trading signals from the underlying data. The indicator calculates both a fast exponential moving average and a slower simple moving average of the buy flow, sell flow, and net flow values. The use of EMA for the fast line provides responsiveness to recent changes while the SMA for the slow line provides a more stable baseline, and the divergence or convergence between these averages signals shifts in volume flow momentum. When the buy flow EMA crosses above its SMA while volume is elevated, this indicates that buying pressure is not only present but accelerating, which is the foundation for the strong buy signal generation. The same logic applies inversely for selling pressure, creating a symmetrical approach to detecting both upside and downside momentum shifts based on volume characteristics rather than price characteristics. The volume threshold filtering ensures that signals only generate during periods of statistically significant market participation. The indicator calculates a simple moving average of total volume over a user-defined period, defaulted to twenty bars, and then requires that current volume exceed this average by a multiplier, defaulted to one point two times. This ensures that signals occur during periods when the market is actively engaged rather than during quiet periods when a few large orders can create misleading volume patterns. The indicator even distinguishes between high volume—exceeding the threshold—and very high volume—exceeding one point five times the threshold—with the latter triggering background color changes to alert traders to exceptional participation levels. This tiered volume classification allows traders to calibrate their position sizing and conviction levels based on the strength of market participation supporting the signal. The flow momentum calculation adds a velocity dimension to the volume analysis. By calculating the rate of change of the net flow EMA over a user-defined momentum length—defaulted to five bars—the indicator measures not just the direction of volume flow but the acceleration or deceleration of that flow. A positive and increasing flow momentum indicates that buying pressure is not only dominant but intensifying, which typically precedes significant upward price movements. Conversely, negative and decreasing flow momentum suggests selling pressure is building upon itself, often preceding breakdowns. The indicator even calculates a second derivative—the momentum of momentum, termed flow acceleration—which can identify very early turning points when the rate of change itself begins to shift, providing the most forward-looking signal available from this methodology. The divergence detection system represents one of the most powerful features for identifying potential trend reversals and continuations. The indicator maintains separate tracking of price extremes and flow extremes over a lookback period defaulted to fourteen bars. A bearish divergence is identified when price makes a new high or equals the recent high, but the net flow EMA is significantly below its recent high—specifically less than eighty percent of that high—and is declining compared to its value at the divergence lookback distance. This pattern indicates that while price is pushing higher, the volume support for that movement is deteriorating, which frequently precedes reversals. Bullish divergences work inversely, identifying situations where price makes new lows without corresponding weakness in volume flow, suggesting that selling pressure is exhausted and a reversal higher is probable. These divergence signals are plotted as distinct diamond shapes on the indicator, making them visually prominent for trader attention. The accumulation and distribution zone detection provides a longer-term context for understanding institutional positioning. The indicator uses the bars-since function to track consecutive periods where the net flow EMA has remained positive or negative. When buying pressure has persisted for at least five consecutive bars, average intensity exceeds zero point six indicating strong closes within bar ranges, and volume is elevated above the threshold, the indicator identifies an accumulation zone. These zones suggest that smart money is systematically building long positions across multiple bars despite potentially choppy or sideways price action. Distribution zones are identified through the inverse criteria, revealing periods when institutions are systematically exiting or building short positions. These zones are visualized through colored fills on the indicator pane, creating a backdrop that helps traders understand the broader volume flow context beyond individual bar signals. The signal strength scoring system provides a quantitative measure of conviction for each buy or sell signal. Rather than treating all signals as equal, the indicator assigns point values to different signal components: twenty-five points for the buy flow EMA-SMA crossover, twenty-five points for the net flow EMA-SMA crossover, twenty points for high volume presence, fifteen points for positive flow momentum, and fifteen points for bullish divergence presence. These points are summed to create a buy score that can range from zero to one hundred percent, with higher scores indicating that multiple independent confirmation factors are aligned. The same methodology creates a sell score, and these scores are displayed in the information table, allowing traders to quickly assess whether a signal represents a tentative suggestion or a high-conviction setup. This scoring approach transforms the indicator from a binary signal generator into a nuanced probability assessment tool. The visual presentation of the indicator demonstrates exceptional attention to user experience and information density. The primary display shows the net flow EMA as a thick colored line that transitions between green when above zero and above its SMA, indicating strong buying, to a lighter green when above zero but below the SMA, indicating weakening buying, to red when below zero and below the SMA, indicating strong selling, to a lighter red when below zero but above the SMA, indicating weakening selling. This color gradient provides immediate visual feedback about both direction and momentum of volume flows. The net flow SMA is overlaid in orange as a reference line, and a zero line is drawn to clearly delineate positive from negative territory. Behind these lines, a histogram representation of the raw net flow—scaled down by thirty percent for visibility—shows bar-by-bar flow with color intensity reflecting whether flow is strengthening or weakening compared to the previous bar. This layered visualization allows traders to simultaneously see the raw data, the smoothed trend, and the trend of the trend, accommodating both short-term and longer-term trading perspectives. The cumulative delta line adds a macro perspective by maintaining a running sum of all volume deltas divided by one million for scale, plotted in purple as a separate series. This cumulative measure acts similar to an on-balance volume calculation but with the sophisticated volume attribution methodology of this indicator, creating a long-term sentiment gauge that can reveal whether an asset is under sustained accumulation or distribution across days, weeks, or months. Divergences between this cumulative delta and price can identify major trend exhaustion or reversal points that might not be visible in the shorter-term flow measurements. The signal plotting uses shape-based markers rather than background colors or arrows to maximize clarity while preserving chart space. Strong buy signals—meeting multiple criteria including EMA-SMA crossover, high volume, and positive momentum—appear as full-size green triangle-up shapes at the bottom of the indicator pane. Strong sell signals appear as full-size red triangle-down shapes at the top. Regular buy and sell signals that meet fewer criteria appear as smaller, semi-transparent circles, indicating they warrant attention but lack the full confirmation of strong signals. Divergence-based signals appear as distinct diamond shapes in cyan for bullish divergences and orange for bearish divergences, ensuring these critical reversal indicators are immediately recognizable and don't get confused with momentum-based signals. This multi-tiered signal hierarchy helps traders prioritize their analysis and avoid signal overload. The information table in the top-right corner of the indicator pane provides real-time quantitative feedback on all major calculation components. It displays the current bar's buy volume and sell volume in millions with appropriate color coding, the imbalance percentage with color indicating whether it exceeds the threshold, the average intensity score showing whether closes are generally near highs or lows, the flow momentum value, and the current buy and sell scores. This table transforms the indicator from a purely graphical tool into a quantitative dashboard, allowing discretionary traders to incorporate specific numerical thresholds into their decision frameworks. For example, a trader might require that buy score exceed seventy percent and intensity exceed zero point six-five before taking a long position, creating objective entry criteria from subjective chart reading. The background shading that occurs during very high volume periods provides an ambient alert system that doesn't require focused attention on the indicator pane. When volume spikes to one point five times the threshold and net flow EMA is positive, a very light green background appears across the entire indicator pane; when volume spikes with negative net flow, a light red background appears. These backgrounds create a subliminal awareness of exceptional market participation moments, ensuring traders notice when the market is making important decisions even if they're focused on price action or other indicators at that moment. The alert system built into the indicator allows traders to receive notifications for strong buy signals, strong sell signals, bullish divergences, bearish divergences, and very high volume events. These alerts can be configured in TradingView to send push notifications to mobile devices, emails, or webhook calls to automated trading systems. This functionality transforms the indicator from a passive analysis tool into an active monitoring system that can watch markets continuously and notify the trader only when significant volume flow developments occur. For traders monitoring multiple instruments, this alert capability is invaluable for efficient time allocation, allowing them to analyze other opportunities while being instantly notified when this indicator identifies high-probability setups on their watch list. The coding implementation demonstrates advanced Pine Script techniques including the use of request.security_lower_tf to access intrabar data, array manipulation to process variable-length intrabar arrays, proper variable scoping with var keyword for persistent state management across bars, and efficient conditional logic that prevents unnecessary calculations. The code structure with clearly delineated sections for inputs, calculations, signal generation, plotting, and alerts makes it maintainable and educational for those studying Pine Script development. The use of input groups with custom headers creates an organized settings panel that doesn't overwhelm users with dozens of ungrouped parameters, while still providing substantial customization capability for advanced users who want to optimize the indicator for specific instruments or timeframes. For practical trading application, this indicator excels in several specific use cases. Scalpers and day traders can use the intrabar analysis to identify accumulation or distribution happening within the bars of their entry timeframe, providing early entry signals before momentum indicators or price patterns complete. Swing traders can use the cumulative delta and accumulation-distribution zones to understand whether short-term pullbacks in an uptrend are being bought or sold, helping distinguish between healthy retracements and trend reversals. Position traders can use the divergence detection to identify major turning points where price extremes are not supported by volume, providing low-risk entry points for counter-trend positions or warnings to exit with-trend positions before significant reversals. The indicator is particularly valuable in ranging markets where price-based indicators produce numerous false breakout signals. By requiring that breakouts be accompanied by volume flow imbalances, the indicator filters out failed breakouts driven by low participation. When price breaks a range boundary accompanied by a strong buy or sell signal with high buy or sell score and very high volume, the probability of successful breakout follow-through increases dramatically. Conversely, when price breaks a range but the indicator shows low imbalance, opposing flow direction, or low volume, traders can fade the breakout or at minimum avoid chasing it. During trending markets, the indicator helps traders identify the healthiest entry points by revealing where pullbacks are being accumulated by smart money. A trending market will show the cumulative delta continuing in the trend direction even as price pulls back, and accumulation zones will form during these pullbacks. When price resumes the trend, the indicator will generate strong buy or sell signals with high scores, providing objective entry points with clear invalidation levels. The flow momentum component helps traders stay with trends longer by distinguishing between healthy momentum pauses—where momentum goes to zero but doesn't reverse—and actual momentum reversals where opposing pressure is building. The VWAP deviation weighting adds particular value for traders of liquid instruments like major forex pairs, stock indices, and high-volume stocks where VWAP is widely watched by institutional participants. When price deviates significantly from the intrabar VWAP and volume flows in the direction of that deviation with elevated weighting, it indicates that the move away from fair value is being driven by conviction rather than mechanical order flow. This suggests the deviation will likely extend further, creating continuation trading opportunities. Conversely, when price deviates from intrabar VWAP but volume flow shows reduced intensity or opposing direction despite the weighting, it suggests the deviation will revert to VWAP, creating mean reversion opportunities. The ATR normalization option makes the indicator values comparable across different volatility regimes and different instruments. Without normalization, a one-million share buy-sell imbalance might be significant for a low-volatility stock but trivial for a high-volatility cryptocurrency. By normalizing the delta by ATR, the indicator accounts for the typical price movement capacity of the instrument, making signal thresholds and comparison values meaningful across different trading contexts. This is particularly valuable for traders running the indicator on multiple instruments who want consistent signal quality regardless of the underlying instrument characteristics. The configurable decay factor allows traders to adjust how persistent they want volume flows to remain influential. For very short-term scalping, a lower decay factor like zero point five will cause volume imbalances to dissipate quickly, keeping the indicator focused only on very recent flows. For longer-term position trading, a higher decay factor like zero point nine-five will allow significant volume events to influence the indicator for many bars, revealing longer-term accumulation and distribution patterns. This flexibility makes the single indicator adaptable to trading styles ranging from one-minute scalping to daily chart position trading simply by adjusting the decay parameter and the lookback bars. The minimum imbalance percentage setting provides crucial noise filtering that can be optimized per instrument. Highly liquid instruments with tight spreads might show numerous small imbalances that are meaningless, requiring a higher threshold like thirty-five or forty percent to filter noise effectively. Thinly traded instruments might rarely show extreme imbalances, requiring a lower threshold like fifteen or twenty percent to generate adequate signals. By making this threshold user-configurable with a wide range, the indicator accommodates the full spectrum of market microstructure characteristics across different instruments and timeframes. In conclusion, the Intrabar Volume Flow Intelligence indicator represents a comprehensive volume analysis system that combines intrabar data access, sophisticated volume attribution algorithms, multi-timeframe smoothing, statistical filtering, divergence detection, zone identification, and intelligent signal scoring into a cohesive analytical framework. It provides traders with visibility into market dynamics that are invisible to price-only analysis and even to conventional volume analysis, revealing the true intentions of market participants through their actual transaction behavior within each bar. The indicator's strength lies not in any single feature but in the integration of multiple analytical layers that confirm and validate each other, creating high-probability signal generation that can form the foundation of complete trading systems or provide powerful confirmation for discretionary analysis. For traders willing to invest time in understanding its components and optimizing its parameters for their specific instruments and timeframes, this indicator offers a significant informational advantage in increasingly competitive markets where edge is derived from seeing what others miss and acting on that information before it becomes consensus.

Iridescent Liquidity Prism [JOAT]Iridescent Liquidity Prism | Peer Momentum HUD A multi-layered order-flow indicator that combines microstructure analysis, smart-money footprint detection, and intermarket momentum signals. The script uses dynamic color-shifting themes to visualize liquidity patterns, structure, and peer momentum data directly on the chart. There is so much to choose from inside the settings, if you think it's a mess on the chart it's because you have to personally customize it based on your needs... Core Functionality The indicator calculates and displays several analytical layers simultaneously: Order-Flow Imbalance (OFI): Calculates buy vs. sell volume pressure using volume-weighted price distribution within each bar. Uses an EMA filter (default: 55 periods) to smooth the signal. Values are normalized using standard deviation to identify significant imbalances. Smart Money Footprints: Detects accumulation and distribution zones by comparing volume rate of change (ROC) against price ROC. When volume ROC exceeds a threshold (default: 65%) and price ROC is positive, accumulation is detected. When volume ROC is high but price ROC is negative, distribution is detected. Fractal Structure Mapping: Identifies pivot highs and lows using a fractal detection algorithm (default: 5-bar period). Maintains a rolling window of recent structure points (default: 4 levels) and draws connecting lines to show trend structure. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection: Automatically detects price gaps where three consecutive candles create an imbalance. Bullish FVGs occur when the current low exceeds the high two bars ago. Bearish FVGs occur when the current high is below the low two bars ago. Gaps persist for a configurable duration (default: 320 bars) and fade when price fills the gap. Liquidity Void Detection: Identifies candles where the high-low range exceeds an ATR threshold (default: 1.7x ATR) while volume is below average (default: 65% of 20-bar average). These conditions suggest areas where liquidity may be thin. Price/Volume Divergence: Uses linear regression to detect when price trend direction disagrees with volume trend direction. A divergence alert appears when price is trending up while volume is trending down, or vice versa. Peer Momentum Heatmap (PMH): Calculates composite momentum scores for up to 6 symbols across 4 timeframes. Each score combines RSI (default: 14 periods) and StochRSI (default: 14 periods, 3-bar smooth) to create a momentum composite between -1 and +1. The highest absolute momentum score across all combinations is displayed in the HUD. Custom settings using Fractal Pivots, Skeleton Structure, Pulse Liquidity Voids, Bottom Colorful HeatMaps, and Iridescent Field. --- Visual Components Spectrum Aura Glow: ATR-weighted bands (default: 0.25x ATR) that expand and contract around price action, indicating volatility conditions. The thickness adapts to market volatility. Chromatic Flow Trail: A blended line combining EMA and WMA of price (default: 8-period EMA blended with WMA at 65% ratio). The trail uses gradient colors that shift based on a phase oscillator, creating an iridescent effect. Volume Heat Projection: Creates horizontal volume profile bands at price levels (default: 14 levels). Scans recent bars (default: 150 bars) to calculate volume concentration. Each level is colored based on its volume density relative to the maximum volume level. Structure Skeleton: Dashed lines connecting fractal pivot points. Uses two layers: a primary line (2-3px width) and an optional glow overlay (4-5px width) for enhanced visibility. Fractal Markers: Diamond shapes placed at pivot high and low points. Color-coded: primary color for highs, secondary color for lows. Iridescent Color Themes: Five color themes available: Iridescent (default), Pearlescent, Prismatic, ColorShift, and Metallic. Colors shift dynamically using a phase oscillator that cycles through the color spectrum based on bar index and a speed multiplier (default: 0.35). --- HUD Console Metrics The right-side HUD displays seven key metrics: Flow: Shows OFI status: ▲ FLOW BUY when normalized OFI exceeds imbalance threshold (default: 2.2), ▼ FLOW SELL when below -2.2, or ◆ FLOW BAL when balanced. Struct: Structure trend bias: ▲ STRUCT BULL when microtrend > 2, ▼ STRUCT BEAR when < -2, or ◆ STRUCT RANGE when neutral. Smart$: Institutional activity: ◈ ACCUM when smart money index = 1, ◈ DISTRIB when = -1, or ○ IDLE when inactive. Liquid: Liquidity state: ⚡ VOID when a liquidity void is detected, or ● NORMAL otherwise. Diverg: Divergence status: ⚠ ALERT when price/volume divergence detected, or ✓ CLEAR when aligned. PMH: Peer Momentum Heatmap status: Shows dominant timeframe and momentum score. Displays 🪩 for bull surge (above 0.55 threshold) or 🧨 for bear surge (below -0.55). FVG: Fair Value Gap status: Shows active gap count or CLEAR when no gaps exist. Displays GAP LONG when bullish gap detected, GAP SHORT when bearish gap detected. Pearlscent Color with Volume Heatmap. Parameters and Settings Microstructure Engine: Analysis Depth: 20-250 bars (default: 55) - Controls OFI smoothing period Liquidity Threshold ATR: 1.0-4.0 (default: 1.7) - Multiplier for void detection Imbalance Ratio: 1.5-6.0 (default: 2.2) - Standard deviations for OFI significance Smart Money Layer: Smart Money Window: 10-150 bars (default: 24) - Period for ROC calculations Accumulation Threshold: 40-95% (default: 65%) - Volume ROC threshold Structural Mapping: Fractal Pivot Period: 3-15 bars (default: 5) - Period for pivot detection Structure Memory: 2-8 levels (default: 4) - Number of structure points to track Volume Heat Projection: Heat Map Lookback: 60-400 bars (default: 150) - Bars to analyze for volume profile Heat Map Levels: 5-30 levels (default: 14) - Number of price level bands Heat Map Opacity: 40-100% (default: 92%) - Transparency of heat map boxes Heat Map Width Limit: 6-80 bars (default: 26) - Maximum width of heat map boxes Heat Map Visibility Threshold: 0.0-0.5 (default: 0.08) - Minimum density to display Iridescent Enhancements: Visual Theme: Iridescent, Pearlescent, Prismatic, ColorShift, or Metallic Color Shift Speed: 0.05-1.00 (default: 0.35) - Speed of color phase oscillation Aura Thickness (ATR): 0.05-1.0 (default: 0.25) - Multiplier for aura band width Chromatic Trail Length: 2-50 bars (default: 8) - Period for trail calculation Trail Blend Ratio: 0.1-0.95 (default: 0.65) - EMA/WMA blend percentage FVG Persistence: 50-600 bars (default: 320) - Bars to keep FVG boxes active Max Active FVG Boxes: 10-200 (default: 40) - Maximum boxes on chart FVG Base Opacity: 20-95% (default: 80%) - Transparency of FVG boxes Peer Momentum Heatmap: Peer Symbols: Comma-separated list of up to 6 symbols (e.g., "BTCUSD,ETHUSD") Peer Timeframes: Comma-separated list of up to 4 timeframes (default: "60,240,D") PMH RSI Length: 5-50 periods (default: 14) PMH StochRSI Length: 5-50 periods (default: 14) PMH StochRSI Smooth: 1-10 periods (default: 3) Super Momentum Threshold: 0.2-0.95 (default: 0.55) - Threshold for surge detection Clarity & Readability: Liquidity Void Opacity: 5-90% (default: 30%) Smart Money Footprint Opacity: 5-90% (default: 35%) HUD Background Opacity: 40-95% (default: 70%) Iridescent Field: Field Opacity: 20-100% (default: 86%) - Background color intensity Field Smooth Length: 10-200 bars (default: 34) - Smoothing for background gradient --- Alerts The indicator provides seven alert conditions: Liquidity Void Detected - Triggers when void conditions are met Strong Order Flow - Triggers when normalized OFI exceeds imbalance ratio Smart Money Activity - Triggers when accumulation or distribution detected Price/Volume Divergence - Triggers when divergence conditions occur Structure Shift - Triggers when structure polarity changes significantly PMH Bull Surge - Triggers when PMH exceeds positive threshold (if enabled) PMH Bear Surge - Triggers when PMH exceeds negative threshold (if enabled) Bull/Bear Prismatic FVG - Triggers when new FVG is detected (if FVG display enabled) --- Usage Considerations Performance may vary on lower timeframes due to the volume heat map calculations scanning multiple bars. Consider reducing heat map lookback or levels if experiencing slowdowns. The PMH feature requires data requests to other symbols/timeframes, which may impact performance. Limit the number of peer symbols and timeframes for optimal performance. FVG boxes automatically expire after the persistence period to prevent chart clutter. The maximum box limit (default: 40) prevents excessive memory usage. Color themes affect all visual elements. Choose a theme that provides good contrast with your chart background. The indicator is designed for overlay display. All visual elements are positioned relative to price action. Structure lines are drawn dynamically as new pivots form. On fast-moving markets, structure may update frequently. Volume calculations assume typical volume data availability. Symbols without volume may show incomplete data for volume-dependent features. --- Technical Notes Built on Pine Script v6 with dynamic request capability for PMH functionality. Uses exponential moving averages (EMA) and weighted moving averages (WMA) for trail calculations to balance responsiveness and smoothness. Volume profile calculation uses price level buckets. Higher levels provide finer granularity but require more computation. Iridescent color engine uses a phase oscillator with sine wave calculations for smooth color transitions. Box management includes automatic cleanup of expired boxes to maintain performance. All visual elements use color gradients and transparency for smooth blending with price action. --- Customization Examples Intraday Scalping Setup: Analysis Depth: 30 bars Heat Map Lookback: 100 bars FVG Persistence: 150 bars PMH Window: 15 bars Fast color shift speed: 0.5+ Macro Structure Tracking: Analysis Depth: 100+ bars Heat Map Lookback: 300+ bars FVG Persistence: 500+ bars Structure Memory: 6-8 levels Slower color shift speed: 0.2 --- Limitations Volume heat map calculations may be computationally intensive on lower timeframes with high lookback values. PMH requires valid symbol names and accessible timeframes. Invalid symbols or timeframes will return no data. FVG detection requires at least 3 bars of history. Early bars may not show FVG boxes. Structure lines connect points but do not predict future structure. They reflect historical pivot relationships. Color themes are aesthetic choices and do not affect calculation logic. The indicator does not provide trading signals. All visual elements are analytical tools that require interpretation in context of market conditions. Open Source This indicator is open source and available for modification and distribution. The code is published with Pine Script v6 compliance. Users are free to customize parameters, modify calculations, and adapt the visual elements to their trading needs.

TuxAlgo Plus a SMC and Trap Toolkit V0.98r1 by McTogaThe “TuxAlgo Plus” script is a powerful, standalone, conceptual open-source project and self-sufficient “smart money toolkit” with automatic trap detection (SMT), liquidity grabs, FVG confluence, and complete bot setup signals for TV charts in the “H1 to H6” time frame and daily charts. The script is used to improve SMC/trap analyses, i.e., the structure and visualization logic for TradingView charts have been expanded in the “TuxAlgo++” project in line with Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). The SMT block (“Smart Money Traps”) supplements classic smart money concepts with: 1. Detection of bull traps (short setups) and bear traps (long setups) 2. Display of trap boxes in the chart (liquidity grab areas) 3. A bot setup box (table) with ready-made entry/SL/TP levels: as well as age in bars & days and “Valid until ~X d” (remaining term) SMT / bot setup only run on the following timeframes: - H1, H2, H3, H4, H6 This means that traps, labels, and the bot setup box are only displayed on these timeframes Trap definition “Bull Trap (Short Setup)”: - Valid swing high - Swing trend bullish - High (Wick) pierces above the swing high (Liquidity Grab) - Close falls back below the swing high (false breakout) -> Result: Short setup (bull trap), marked in orange Trap definition “Bear Trap (long setup)”: - Valid swing low - Swing trend bearish - Low (wick) pierces below the swing low (liquidity grab) - Close rises above the swing low again (false breakout) -> Result: Long setup (bear trap), marked in blue Entry / SL / TP calculation A price range is taken for each trap: Bull trap (short): - Range = - Entry = point within this range: Entry = hiBT - (hiBT - loBT) * TrapEntryRatio (0..1) -> 0.0 = at the Wick extreme, 0.5 = middle, 1.0 = at the Swing level - SL = Wick extreme (upper edge of the trap) - Risk = |Entry - SL| - TP1 = Entry - R1 * Risk - TP2 = Entry - R2 * Risk Bear Trap (Long): - Range = - Entry analogous within the range according to TrapEntryRatio - SL = wick bottom (lower edge of the trap) - Risk = |Entry - SL| - TP1 = Entry + R1 * Risk - TP2 = Entry + R2 * Risk R1 / R2 correspond to the inputs: - botRR1Input = TP1 Risk/Reward (e.g., 1.5R) - botRR2Input = TP2 Risk/Reward (e.g., 3.0R) Age & Validity Each trap stores: - lastTrapBarIndex -> last bar of the trap - Age in bars -> bar_index - lastTrapBarIndex - Age in days (~d) -> AgeBars * BarDurationInDays (depending on TF) Input: trapMaxAgeBars determines how long a trap is valid. The bot setup box is only displayed if: - a trap is present, - AgeBars <= trapMaxAgeBars, - SMT + Box + SMC timeframe are active. Color logic (color blind friendly): - Blue (accentBlue) = fresh traps (Age <= 1/3 MaxAge) - Orange (accentOrange) = medium age - Violet (accentPurple) = old, but still within MaxAge - Gray (accentGray) = expired (> MaxAge) The box also shows “Valid until ~X d” as the remaining term. Day/Night Mode & Colors - chart.bg_color is used to detect dark or light mode. - Text/background colors adjust (light/dark). - Accent colors (blue/orange/purple/gray) are suitable for red/green color blindness. - Trap labels in the chart: - Bull trap label = orange (short setup) - Bear trap label = blue (long setup) - Text color depends on chart mode (dark/light) Typical workflow (example): 1. Select a suitable symbol & SMC timeframe (e.g., H4 or H6). 2. Wait for a bull trap (short) or bear trap (long). 3. Read in the bot setup box: - Direction (long/short) - Entry, SL, TP1, TP2 - Age & “Valid until ~X d” 4. These values can be used as a template for manual trading or external bot/order systems. 5. Position size & leverage must always be calculated separately in your own risk management (e.g., 2% rule). This script does not calculate position sizes.

VV Moving Average Convergence Divergence # VMACDv3 - Volume-Weighted MACD with A/D Divergence Detection ## Overview **VMACDv3** (Volume-Weighted Moving Average Convergence Divergence Version 3) is a momentum indicator that applies volume-weighting to traditional MACD calculations on price, while using the Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line for divergence detection. This hybrid approach combines volume-weighted price momentum with volume distribution analysis for comprehensive market insight. ## Key Features - **Volume-Weighted Price MACD**: Traditional MACD calculation on price but weighted by volume for earlier signals - **A/D Divergence Detection**: Identifies when A/D trend diverges from MACD momentum - **Volume Strength Filtering**: Distinguishes high-volume confirmations from low-volume noise - **Color-Coded Histogram**: 4-color system showing momentum direction and volume strength - **Real-Time Alerts**: Background colors and alert conditions for bullish/bearish divergences ## Difference from ACCDv3 | Aspect | VMACDv3 | ACCDv3 | |--------|---------|---------| | **MACD Input** | **Price (Close)** | **A/D Line** | | **Volume Weighting** | Applied to price | Applied to A/D line | | **Primary Signal** | Volume-weighted price momentum | Volume distribution momentum | | **Use Case** | Price momentum with volume confirmation | Volume flow and accumulation/distribution | | **Sensitivity** | More responsive to price changes | More responsive to volume patterns | | **Best For** | Trend following, breakouts | Volume analysis, smart money tracking | **Key Insight**: VMACDv3 shows *where price is going* with volume weight, while ACCDv3 shows *where volume is accumulating/distributing*. ## Components ### 1. Volume-Weighted MACD on Price Unlike standard MACD that uses simple price EMAs, VMACDv3 weights each price by its corresponding volume: ``` Fast Line = EMA(Price × Volume, 12) / EMA(Volume, 12) Slow Line = EMA(Price × Volume, 26) / EMA(Volume, 26) MACD = Fast Line - Slow Line ``` **Benefits of Volume Weighting**: - High-volume price movements have greater impact - Filters out low-volume noise and false moves - Provides earlier trend change signals - Better reflects institutional activity ### 2. Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Line Used for divergence detection, measuring buying/selling pressure: ``` A/D = Σ ((2 × Close - Low - High) / (High - Low)) × Volume ``` - **Rising A/D**: Accumulation (buying pressure) - **Falling A/D**: Distribution (selling pressure) - **Doji Handling**: When High = Low, contribution is zero ### 3. Signal Lines - **MACD Line** (Blue, #2962FF): The fast-slow difference showing momentum - **Signal Line** (Orange, #FF6D00): EMA or SMA smoothing of MACD - **Zero Line**: Reference for bullish (above) vs bearish (below) bias ### 4. Histogram Color System The histogram uses 4 distinct colors based on **direction** and **volume strength**: | Condition | Color | Meaning | |-----------|-------|---------| | Rising + High Volume | **Dark Green** (#1B5E20) | Strong bullish momentum with volume confirmation | | Rising + Low Volume | **Light Teal** (#26A69A) | Bullish momentum but weak volume (less reliable) | | Falling + High Volume | **Dark Red** (#B71C1C) | Strong bearish momentum with volume confirmation | | Falling + Low Volume | **Light Pink** (#FFCDD2) | Bearish momentum but weak volume (less reliable) | Additional shading: - **Light Cyan** (#B2DFDB): Positive but not rising (momentum stalling) - **Bright Red** (#FF5252): Negative and accelerating down ### 5. Divergence Detection VMACDv3 compares A/D trend against volume-weighted price MACD: #### Bullish Divergence (Green Background) - **Condition**: A/D is trending up BUT MACD is negative and trending down - **Interpretation**: Volume is accumulating while price momentum appears weak - **Signal**: Smart money accumulation, potential bullish reversal - **Action**: Look for long entries, especially at support levels #### Bearish Divergence (Red Background) - **Condition**: A/D is trending down BUT MACD is positive and trending up - **Interpretation**: Volume is distributing while price momentum appears strong - **Signal**: Smart money distribution, potential bearish reversal - **Action**: Consider exits, avoid new longs, watch for breakdown ## Parameters | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | **Source** | Close | OHLC/HLC3/etc | Price source for MACD calculation | | **Fast Length** | 12 | 1-50 | Period for fast EMA (shorter = more sensitive) | | **Slow Length** | 26 | 1-100 | Period for slow EMA (longer = smoother) | | **Signal Smoothing** | 9 | 1-50 | Period for signal line (MACD smoothing) | | **Signal Line MA Type** | EMA | SMA/EMA | Moving average type for signal calculation | | **Volume MA Length** | 20 | 5-100 | Period for volume average (strength filter) | ## Usage Guide ### Reading the Indicator 1. **MACD Lines (Blue & Orange)** - **Blue Line (MACD)**: Volume-weighted price momentum - **Orange Line (Signal)**: Smoothed trend of MACD - **Crossovers**: Blue crosses above orange = bullish, below = bearish - **Distance**: Wider gap = stronger momentum - **Zero Line Position**: Above = bullish bias, below = bearish bias 2. **Histogram Colors** - **Dark Green (#1B5E20)**: Strong bullish move with high volume - **most reliable buy signal** - **Light Teal (#26A69A)**: Bullish but low volume - wait for confirmation - **Dark Red (#B71C1C)**: Strong bearish move with high volume - **most reliable sell signal** - **Light Pink (#FFCDD2)**: Bearish but low volume - may be temporary dip 3. **Background Divergence Alerts** - **Green Background**: A/D accumulating while price weak - potential bottom - **Red Background**: A/D distributing while price strong - potential top - Most powerful at key support/resistance levels ### Trading Strategies #### Strategy 1: Volume-Confirmed Trend Following 1. Wait for MACD to cross above zero line 2. Look for **dark green** histogram bars (high volume confirmation) 3. Enter long on second consecutive dark green bar 4. Hold while histogram remains green 5. Exit when histogram turns light green or red appears 6. Set stop below recent swing low **Example**: ``` Price: 26,400 → 26,450 (rising) MACD: -50 → +20 (crosses zero) Histogram: Light teal → Dark green → Dark green Volume: 50k → 75k → 90k (increasing) ``` #### Strategy 2: Divergence Reversal Trading 1. Identify divergence background (green = bullish, red = bearish) 2. Confirm with price structure (support/resistance, chart patterns) 3. Wait for MACD to cross signal line in divergence direction 4. Enter on first **dark colored** histogram bar after divergence 5. Set stop beyond divergence area 6. Target previous swing high/low **Example - Bullish Divergence**: ``` Price: Making lower lows (26,350 → 26,300 → 26,250) A/D: Rising (accumulation) MACD: Below zero but starting to curve up Background: Green shading appears Entry: MACD crosses signal line + dark green bar Stop: Below 26,230 Target: 26,450 (previous high) ``` #### Strategy 3: Momentum Scalping 1. Trade only in direction of MACD zero line (above = long, below = short) 2. Enter on dark colored bars only 3. Exit on first light colored bar or opposite color 4. Quick in and out (1-5 minute holds) 5. Tight stops (0.2-0.5% depending on instrument) #### Strategy 4: Histogram Pattern Trading **V-Bottom Reversal (Bullish)**: - Red histogram bars start rising (becoming less negative) - Forms "V" shape at the bottom - Transitions to light red → light teal → **dark green** - Entry: First dark green bar - Signal: Momentum reversal with volume **Λ-Top Reversal (Bearish)**: - Green histogram bars start falling (becoming less positive) - Forms inverted "V" at the top - Transitions to light green → light pink → **dark red** - Entry: First dark red bar - Signal: Momentum exhaustion with volume ### Multi-Timeframe Analysis **Recommended Approach**: 1. **Higher Timeframe (15m/1h)**: Identify overall trend direction 2. **Trading Timeframe (5m)**: Time entries using VMACDv3 signals 3. **Lower Timeframe (1m)**: Fine-tune entry prices **Example Setup**: ``` 15-minute: MACD above zero (bullish bias) 5-minute: Dark green histogram appears after pullback 1-minute: Enter on break of recent high with volume ``` ### Volume Strength Interpretation The volume filter compares current volume to 20-period average: - **Volume > Average**: Dark colors (green/red) - high confidence signals - **Volume < Average**: Light colors (teal/pink) - lower confidence signals **Trading Rules**: - ✓ **Aggressive**: Take all dark colored signals - ✓ **Conservative**: Only take dark colors that follow 2+ light colors of same type - ✗ **Avoid**: Trading light colored signals during high volatility - ✗ **Avoid**: Ignoring volume context during news events ## Technical Details ### Volume-Weighted Calculation ```pine // Volume-weighted fast EMA fast_ma = ta.ema(src * volume, fast_length) / ta.ema(volume, fast_length) // Volume-weighted slow EMA slow_ma = ta.ema(src * volume, slow_length) / ta.ema(volume, slow_length) // MACD is the difference macd = fast_ma - slow_ma // Signal line smoothing signal = ta.ema(macd, signal_length) // or ta.sma() if SMA selected // Histogram hist = macd - signal ``` ### Divergence Detection Logic ```pine // A/D trending up if above its 5-period SMA ad_trend = ad > ta.sma(ad, 5) // MACD trending up if above zero macd_trend = macd > 0 // Divergence when trends oppose each other divergence = ad_trend != macd_trend // Specific conditions for alerts bullish_divergence = ad_trend and not macd_trend and macd < 0 bearish_divergence = not ad_trend and macd_trend and macd > 0 ``` ### Histogram Coloring Logic ```pine hist_color = (hist >= 0 ? (hist < hist ? (vol_strength ? #1B5E20 : #26A69A) // Rising: dark/light green : #B2DFDB) // Positive but falling: cyan : (hist < hist ?

Mars Signals - Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0(Joker)Comprehensive Trading Manual Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker) ## Chapter 1 – Philosophy & System Architecture This script is not a simple “buy/sell” indicator. Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) is designed as an institutional-style analytical assistant that layers several methodologies into a single, coherent framework. The system is built on four core pillars: 1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) - Detection of Order Blocks (professional demand/supply zones). - Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) (price imbalances). 2. Smart DCA Strategy - Combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands - Identifies statistically discounted zones for scaling into spot positions or exiting shorts. 3. Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation) - Distribution of volume by price, not by time. - Identification of POC (Point of Control) and high-/low-volume areas. 4. Wyckoff Helper – Spring - Detection of bear traps, liquidity grabs, and sharp bullish reversals. All four pillars feed into a Confluence Engine (Scoring System). The final output is presented in the Dashboard, with a clear, human-readable signal: - STRONG LONG 🚀 - WEAK LONG ↗ - NEUTRAL / WAIT - WEAK SHORT ↘ - STRONG SHORT 🩸 This allows the trader to see *how many* and *which* layers of the system support a bullish or bearish bias at any given time. ## Chapter 2 – Settings Overview ### 2.1 General & Dashboard Group - Show Dashboard Panel (`show_dash`) Turns the dashboard table in the corner of the chart ON/OFF. - Show Signal Recommendation (`show_rec`) - If enabled, the textual signal (STRONG LONG, WEAK SHORT, etc.) is displayed. - If disabled, you only see feature status (ON/OFF) and the current price. - Dashboard Position (`dash_pos`) Determines where the dashboard appears on the chart: - `Top Right` - `Bottom Right` - `Top Left` ### 2.2 Smart Money (SMC) Group - Enable SMC Strategy (`show_smc`) Globally enables or disables the Order Block and FVG logic. - Order Block Pivot Lookback (`ob_period`) Main parameter for detecting key pivot highs/lows (swing points). - Default value: 5 - Concept: A bar is considered a pivot low if its low is lower than the lows of the previous 5 and the next 5 bars. Similarly, a pivot high has a high higher than the previous 5 and the next 5 bars. These pivots are used as anchors for Order Blocks. - Increasing `ob_period`: - Fewer levels. - But levels tend to be more significant and reliable. - In highly volatile markets (major news, war events, FOMC, etc.), using values 7–10 is recommended to filter out weak levels. - Show Fair Value Gaps (`show_fvg`) Enables/disables the drawing of FVG zones (imbalances). - Bullish OB Color (`c_ob_bull`) - Color of Bullish Order Blocks (Demand Zones). - Default: semi-transparent green (transparency ≈ 80). - Bearish OB Color (`c_ob_bear`) - Color of Bearish Order Blocks (Supply Zones). - Default: semi-transparent red. - Bullish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bull`) - Color of Bullish FVG (upward imbalance), typically yellow. - Bearish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bear`) - Color of Bearish FVG (downward imbalance), typically purple. ### 2.3 Smart DCA Strategy Group - Enable DCA Zones (`show_dca`) Enables the Smart DCA logic and visual labels. - RSI Length (`rsi_len`) Lookback period for RSI (default: 14). - Shorter → more sensitive, more noise. - Longer → fewer signals, higher reliability. - Bollinger Bands Length (`bb_len`) Moving average period for Bollinger Bands (default: 20). - BB Multiplier (`bb_mult`) Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands (default: 2.0). - For extremely volatile markets, values like 2.5–3.0 can be used so that only extreme deviations trigger a DCA signal. ### 2.4 Volume Profile (Visible Range Sim) Group - Show Volume Profile (`show_vp`) Enables the simulated Volume Profile bars on the right side of the chart. - Volume Lookback Bars (`vp_lookback`) Number of bars used to compute the Volume Profile (default: 150). - Higher values → broader historical context, heavier computation. - Row Count (`vp_rows`) Number of vertical price segments (rows) to divide the total price range into (default: 30). - Width (%) (`vp_width`) Relative width of each volume bar as a percentage. In the code, bar widths are scaled relative to the row with the maximum volume. > Technical note: Volume Profile calculations are executed only on the last bar (`barstate.islast`) to keep the script performant even on higher timeframes. ### 2.5 Wyckoff Helper Group - Show Wyckoff Events (`show_wyc`) Enables detection and plotting of Wyckoff Spring events. - Volume MA Length (`vol_ma_len`) Length of the moving average on volume. A bar is considered to have Ultra Volume if its volume is more than 2× the volume MA. ## Chapter 3 – Smart Money Strategy (Order Blocks & FVG) ### 3.1 What Is an Order Block? An Order Block (OB) represents the footprint of large institutional orders: - Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone) The last selling region (bearish candle/cluster) before a strong upward move. - Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone) The last buying region (bullish candle/cluster) before a strong downward move. Institutions and large players place heavy orders in these regions. Typical price behavior: - Price moves away from the zone. - Later returns to the same zone to fill unfilled orders. - Then continues the larger trend. In the script: - If `pl` (pivot low) forms → a Bullish OB is created. - If `ph` (pivot high) forms → a Bearish OB is created. The box is drawn: - From `bar_index ` to `bar_index`. - Between `low ` and `high `. - `extend=extend.right` extends the OB into the future, so it acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone. - Only the last 4 OB boxes are kept to avoid clutter. ### 3.2 Order Block Color Guide - Semi-transparent Green (`c_ob_bull`) - Represents a Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone). - Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bullish reaction. - Semi-transparent Red (`c_ob_bear`) - Represents a Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone). - Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bearish reaction. Overlap (Multiple OBs in the Same Area) When two or more Order Blocks overlap: - The shared area appears visually denser/stronger. - This suggests higher order density. - Such zones can be treated as high-priority levels for entries, exits, and stop-loss placement. ### 3.3 Demand/Supply Logic in the Scoring Engine is_in_demand = low <= ta.lowest(low, 20) is_in_supply = high >= ta.highest(high, 20) - If current price is near the lowest lows of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Demand Zone → positive impact on score. - If current price is near the highest highs of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Supply Zone → negative impact on score. This logic complements Order Blocks and helps the Dashboard distinguish whether: - Market is currently in a statistically cheap (long-friendly) area, or - In a statistically expensive (short-friendly) area. ### 3.4 Fair Value Gaps (FVG) #### Concept When the market moves aggressively: - Some price levels are skipped and never traded. - A gap between wicks/shadows of consecutive candles appears. - These regions are called Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Imbalances. The market generally “dislikes” imbalance and often: - Returns to these zones in the future. - Fills the gap (rebalance). - Then resumes its dominant direction. #### Implementation in the Code Bullish FVG (Yellow) fvg_bull_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and low > high and close > high if fvg_bull_cond box.new(bar_index , high , bar_index, low, ...) Core condition: `low > high ` → the current low is above the high of two bars ago; the space between them is an untraded gap. Bearish FVG (Purple) fvg_bear_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and high < low and close < low if fvg_bear_cond box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index, high, ...) Core condition: `high < low ` → the current high is below the low of two bars ago; again a price gap exists. #### FVG Color Guide - Transparent Yellow (`c_fvg_bull`) – Bullish FVG Often acts like a magnet for price: - Price tends to retrace into this zone, - Fill the imbalance, - And then continue higher. - Transparent Purple (`c_fvg_bear`) – Bearish FVG Price tends to: - Retrace upward into the purple area, - Fill the imbalance, - And then resume downward movement. #### Trading with FVGs - FVGs are *not* standalone entry signals. They are best used as: - Targets (take-profit zones), or - Reaction areas where you expect a pause or reversal. Examples: - If you are long, a bearish FVG above is often an excellent take-profit zone. - If you are short, a bullish FVG below is often a good cover/exit zone. ### 3.5 Core SMC Trading Templates #### Reversal Long 1. Price trades down into a green Order Block (Demand Zone). 2. A bullish confirmation candle (Close > Open) forms inside or just above the OB. 3. If this zone is close to or aligned with a bullish FVG (yellow), the signal is reinforced. 4. Entry: - At the close of the confirmation candle, or - Using a limit order near the upper boundary of the OB. 5. Stop-loss: - Slightly below the OB. - If the OB is broken decisively and price consolidates below it, the zone loses validity. 6. Targets: - The next FVG, - Or the next red Order Block (Supply Zone) above. #### Reversal Short The mirror scenario: - Price rallies into a red Order Block (Supply). - A bearish confirmation candle forms (Close < Open). - FVG/premium structure above can act as a confluence. - Stop-loss goes above the OB. - Targets: lower FVGs or subsequent green OBs below. ## Chapter 4 – Smart DCA Strategy (RSI + Bollinger Bands) ### 4.1 Smart DCA Concept - Classic DCA = buying at fixed time intervals regardless of price. - Smart DCA = scaling in only when: - Price is statistically cheaper than usual, and - The market is in a clear oversold condition. Code logic: rsi_val = ta.rsi(close, rsi_len) = ta.bb(close, bb_len, bb_mult) dca_buy = show_dca and rsi_val < 30 and close < bb_lower dca_sell = show_dca and rsi_val > 70 and close > bb_upper Conditions: - DCA Buy – Smart Scale-In Zone - RSI < 30 → oversold. - Close < lower Bollinger Band → price has broken below its typical volatility envelope. - DCA Sell – Overbought/Distribution Zone - RSI > 70 → overbought. - Close > upper Bollinger Band → price is extended far above the mean. ### 4.2 Visual Representation on the Chart - Green “DCA” Label Below Candle - Shape: `labelup`. - Color: lime background, white text. - Meaning: statistically attractive level for laddered spot entries or short exits. - Red “SELL” Label Above Candle - Warning that the market is in an extended, overbought condition. - Suitable for profit-taking on longs or considering short entries (with proper confluence and risk management). - Light Green Background (`bgcolor`) - When `dca_buy` is true, the candle background turns very light green (high transparency). - This helps visually identify DCA Zones across the chart at a glance. ### 4.3 Practical Use in Trading #### Spot Trading Used to build a better average entry price: - Every time a DCA label appears, allocate a fixed portion of capital (e.g., 2–5%). - Combining DCA signals with: - Green OBs (Demand Zones), and/or - The Volume Profile POC makes the zone structurally more important. #### Futures Trading - Longs - Use DCA Buy signals as low-risk zones for opening or adding to longs when: - Price is inside a green OB, or - The Dashboard already leans LONG. - Shorts - Use DCA Sell signals as: - Exit zones for longs, or - Areas to initiate shorts with stops above structural highs. ## Chapter 5 – Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation) ### 5.1 Concept Traditional volume (histogram under the chart) shows volume over time. Volume Profile shows volume by price level: - At which prices has the highest trading activity occurred? - Where did buyers and sellers agree the most (High Volume Nodes – HVNs)? - Where did price move quickly due to low participation (Low Volume Nodes – LVNs)? ### 5.2 Implementation in the Script Executed only when `show_vp` is enabled and on the last bar: 1. The last `vp_lookback` bars (default 150) are processed. 2. The minimum low and maximum high over this window define the price range. 3. This price range is divided into `vp_rows` segments (e.g., 30 rows). 4. For each row: - All bars are scanned. - If the mid-price `(high + low ) / 2` falls inside a row, that bar’s volume is added to the row total. 5. The row with the greatest volume is stored as `max_vol_idx` (the POC row). 6. For each row, a volume box is drawn on the right side of the chart. ### 5.3 Color Scheme - Semi-transparent Orange - The row with the maximum volume – the Point of Control (POC). - Represents the strongest support/resistance level from a volume perspective. - Semi-transparent Blue - Other volume rows. - The taller the bar → the higher the volume → the stronger the interest at that price band. ### 5.4 Trading Applications - If price is above POC and retraces back into it: → POC often acts as support, suitable for long setups. - If price is below POC and rallies into it: → POC often acts as resistance, suitable for short setups or profit-taking. HVNs (Tall Blue Bars) - Represent areas of equilibrium where the market has spent time and traded heavily. - Price tends to consolidate here before choosing a direction. LVNs (Short or Nearly Empty Bars) - Represent low participation zones. - Price often moves quickly through these areas – useful for targeting fast moves. ## Chapter 6 – Wyckoff Helper – Spring ### 6.1 Spring Concept In the Wyckoff framework: - A Spring is a false break of support. - The market briefly trades below a well-defined support level, triggers stop losses, then sharply reverses upward as institutional buyers absorb liquidity. This movement: - Clears out weak hands (retail sellers). - Provides large players with liquidity to enter long positions. - Often initiates a new uptrend. ### 6.2 Code Logic Conditions for a Spring: 1. The current low is lower than the lowest low of the previous 50 bars → apparent break of a long-standing support. 2. The bar closes bullish (Close > Open) → the breakdown was rejected. 3. Volume is significantly elevated: → `volume > 2 × volume_MA` (Ultra Volume). When all conditions are met and `show_wyc` is enabled: - A pink diamond is plotted below the bar, - With the label “Spring” – one of the strongest long signals in this system. ### 6.3 Trading Use - After a valid Spring, markets frequently enter a meaningful bullish phase. - The highest quality setups occur when: - The Spring forms inside a green Order Block, and - Near or on the Volume Profile POC. Entries: - At the close of the Spring bar, or - On the first pullback into the mid-range of the Spring candle. Stop-loss: - Slightly below the Spring’s lowest point (wick low plus a small buffer). ## Chapter 7 – Confluence Engine & Dashboard ### 7.1 Scoring Logic For each bar, the script: 1. Resets `score` to 0. 2. Adjusts the score based on different signals. SMC Contribution if show_smc if is_in_demand score += 1 if is_in_supply score -= 1 - Being in Demand → `+1` - Being in Supply → `-1` DCA Contribution if show_dca if dca_buy score += 2 if dca_sell score -= 2 - DCA Buy → `+2` (strong, statistically driven long signal) - DCA Sell → `-2` Wyckoff Spring Contribution if show_wyc if wyc_spring score += 2 - Spring → `+2` (entry of strong money) ### 7.2 Mapping Score to Dashboard Signal - score ≥ 2 → STRONG LONG 🚀 Multiple bullish conditions aligned. - score = 1 → WEAK LONG ↗ Some bullish bias, but only one layer clearly positive. - score = 0 → NEUTRAL / WAIT Rough balance between buying and selling forces; staying flat is usually preferable. - score = -1 → WEAK SHORT ↘ Mild bearish bias, suited for cautious or short-term plays. - score ≤ -2 → STRONG SHORT 🩸 Convergence of several bearish signals. ### 7.3 Dashboard Structure The dashboard is a two-column table: - Row 0 - Column 0: `"Mars Signals"` – black background, white text. - Column 1: `"UIS v3.0"` – black background, yellow text. - Row 1 - Column 0: `"Price:"` (light grey background). - Column 1: current closing price (`close`) with a semi-transparent blue background. - Row 2 - Column 0: `"SMC:"` - Column 1: - `"ON"` (green) if `show_smc = true` - `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise. - Row 3 - Column 0: `"DCA:"` - Column 1: - `"ON"` (green) if `show_dca = true` - `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise. - Row 4 - Column 0: `"Signal:"` - Column 1: signal text (`status_txt`) with background color `status_col` (green, red, teal, maroon, etc.) - If `show_rec = false`, these cells are cleared. ## Chapter 8 – Visual Legend (Colors, Shapes & Actions) For quick reading inside TradingView, the visual elements are described line by line instead of a table. Chart Element: Green Box Color / Shape: Transparent green rectangle Core Meaning: Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone) Suggested Trader Response: Look for longs, Smart DCA adds, closing or reducing shorts. Chart Element: Red Box Color / Shape: Transparent red rectangle Core Meaning: Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone) Suggested Trader Response: Look for shorts, or take profit on existing longs. Chart Element: Yellow Area Color / Shape: Transparent yellow zone Core Meaning: Bullish FVG / upside imbalance Suggested Trader Response: Short take-profit zone or expected rebalance area. Chart Element: Purple Area Color / Shape: Transparent purple zone Core Meaning: Bearish FVG / downside imbalance Suggested Trader Response: Long take-profit zone or temporary supply region. Chart Element: Green "DCA" Label Color / Shape: Green label with white text, plotted below the candle Core Meaning: Smart ladder-in buy zone, DCA buy opportunity Suggested Trader Response: Spot DCA entry, partial short exit. Chart Element: Red "SELL" Label Color / Shape: Red label with white text, plotted above the candle Core Meaning: Overbought / distribution zone Suggested Trader Response: Take profit on longs, consider initiating shorts. Chart Element: Light Green Background (bgcolor) Color / Shape: Very transparent light-green background behind bars Core Meaning: Active DCA Buy zone Suggested Trader Response: Treat as a discount zone on the chart.

Chart Element: Blue Bars on Right Color / Shape: Transparent blue horizontal bars in the volume profile Core Meaning: Other volume levels, showing high-volume and low-volume nodes Suggested Trader Response: Use to identify balance zones (HVN) and fast-move corridors (LVN). Chart Element: Pink "Spring" Diamond Color / Shape: Pink diamond with white text below the candle Core Meaning: Wyckoff Spring – liquidity grab and potential major bullish reversal Suggested Trader Response: One of the strongest long signals in the suite; look for high-quality long setups with tight risk. Chart Element: STRONG LONG in Dashboard Color / Shape: Green background, white text in the Signal row Core Meaning: Multiple bullish layers in confluence Suggested Trader Response: Consider initiating or increasing longs with strict risk management. Chart Element: STRONG SHORT in Dashboard Color / Shape: Red background, white text in the Signal row Core Meaning: Multiple bearish layers in confluence Suggested Trader Response: Consider initiating or increasing shorts with a logical, well-placed stop. ## Chapter 9 – Timeframe-Based Trading Playbook ### 9.1 Timeframe Selection - Scalping - Timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M - Objective: fast intraday moves (minutes to a few hours). - Recommendation: focus on SMC + Wyckoff. Smart DCA on very low timeframes may introduce excessive noise. - Day Trading - Timeframes: 15M, 1H, 4H - Provides a good balance between signal quality and frequency. - Recommendation: use the full stack – SMC + DCA + Volume Profile + Wyckoff + Dashboard. - Swing Trading & Position Investing - Timeframes: Daily, Weekly - Emphasis on Smart DCA + Volume Profile. - SMC and Wyckoff are used mainly to fine-tune swing entries within larger trends. ### 9.2 Scenario A – Scalping Long Example: 5-Minute Chart 1. Price is declining into a green OB (Bullish Demand). 2. A candle with a long lower wick and bullish close (Pin Bar / Rejection) forms inside the OB. 3. A Spring diamond appears below the same candle → very strong confluence. 4. The Dashboard shows at least WEAK LONG ↗, ideally STRONG LONG 🚀. 5. Entry: - On the close of the confirmation candle, or - On the first pullback into the mid-range of that candle. 6. Stop-loss: - Slightly below the OB. 7. Targets: - Nearby bearish FVG above, and/or - The next red OB. ### 9.3 Scenario B – Day-Trading Short Recommended Timeframes: 1H or 4H 1. The market completes a strong impulsive move upward. 2. Price enters a red Order Block (Supply). 3. In the same zone, a purple FVG appears or remains unfilled. 4. On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15M), RSI enters overbought territory and a DCA Sell signal appears. 5. The main timeframe Dashboard (1H) shows WEAK SHORT ↘ or STRONG SHORT 🩸. Trade Plan - Open a short near the upper boundary of the red OB. - Place the stop above the OB or above the last swing high. - Targets: - A yellow FVG lower on the chart, and/or - The next green OB (Demand) below. ### 9.4 Scenario C – Swing / Investment with Smart DCA Timeframes: Daily / Weekly 1. On the daily or weekly chart, each time a green “DCA” label appears: - Allocate a fixed fraction of your capital (e.g., 3–5%) to that asset. 2. Check whether this DCA zone aligns with the orange POC of the Volume Profile: - If yes → the quality of the entry zone is significantly higher. 3. If the DCA signal sits inside a daily green OB, the probability of a medium-term bottom increases. 4. Always build the position laddered, never all-in at a single price. Exits for investors: - Near weekly red OBs or large purple FVG zones. - Ideally via partial profit-taking rather than closing 100% at once. ### 9.5 Case Study 1 – BTCUSDT (15-Minute) - Context: Price has sold off down towards 65,000 USD. - A green OB had previously formed at that level. - Near the lower boundary of this OB, a partially filled yellow FVG is present. - As price returns to this region, a Spring appears. - The Dashboard shifts from NEUTRAL / WAIT to WEAK LONG ↗. Plan - Enter a long near the OB low. - Place stop below the Spring low. - First target: a purple FVG around 66,200. - Second (optional) target: the first red OB above that level. ### 9.6 Case Study 2 – Meme Coin (PEPE – 4H) - After a strong pump, price enters a corrective phase. - On the 4H chart, RSI drops below 30; price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band → a DCA label prints. - The Volume Profile shows the POC at approximately the same level. - The Dashboard displays STRONG LONG 🚀. Plan - Execute laddered buys in the combined DCA + POC zone. - Place a protective stop below the last significant swing low. - Target: an expected 20–30% upside move towards the next red OB or purple FVG. ## Chapter 10 – Risk Management, Psychology & Advanced Tuning ### 10.1 Risk Management No signal, regardless of its strength, replaces risk control. Recommendations: - In futures, do not expose more than 1–3% of account equity to risk per trade. - Adjust leverage to the volatility of the instrument (lower leverage for highly volatile altcoins). - Place stop-losses in zones where the idea is clearly invalidated: - Below/above the relevant Order Block or Spring, not randomly in the middle of the structure. ### 10.2 Market-Specific Parameter Tuning - Calmer Markets (e.g., major FX pairs) - `ob_period`: 3–5. - `bb_mult`: 2.0 is usually sufficient. - Highly Volatile Markets (Crypto, news-driven assets) - `ob_period`: 7–10 to highlight only the most robust OBs. - `bb_mult`: 2.5–3.0 so that only extreme deviations trigger DCA. - `vol_ma_len`: increase (e.g., to ~30) so that Spring triggers only on truly exceptional volume spikes. ### 10.3 Trading Psychology - STRONG LONG 🚀 does not mean “risk-free”. It means the probability of a successful long, given the model’s logic, is higher than average. - Treat Mars Signals as a confirmation and context system, not a full replacement for your own decision-making. - Example of disciplined thinking: - The Dashboard prints STRONG LONG, - But price is simultaneously testing a multi-month macro resistance or a major negative news event is imminent, - In such cases, trade smaller, widen stops appropriately, or skip the trade. ## Chapter 11 – Technical Notes & FAQ ### 11.1 Does the Script Repaint? - Order Blocks and Springs are based on completed pivot structures and confirmed candles. - Until a pivot is confirmed, an OB does not exist; after confirmation, behavior is stable under classic SMC assumptions. - The script is designed to be structurally consistent rather than repainting signals arbitrarily. ### 11.2 Computational Load of Volume Profile - On the last bar, the script processes up to `vp_lookback` bars × `vp_rows` rows. - On very low timeframes with heavy zooming, this can become demanding. - If you experience performance issues: - Reduce `vp_lookback` or `vp_rows`, or - Temporarily disable Volume Profile (`show_vp = false`). ### 11.3 Multi-Timeframe Behavior - This version of the script is not internally multi-timeframe. All logic (OB, DCA, Spring, Volume Profile) is computed on the active timeframe only. - Practical workflow: - Analyze overall structure and key zones on higher timeframes (4H / Daily). - Use lower timeframes (15M / 1H) with the same tool for timing entries and exits. ## Conclusion Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker) is a multi-layer trading framework that unifies: - Price structure (Order Blocks & FVG), - Statistical behavior (Smart DCA via RSI + Bollinger), - Volume distribution by price (Volume Profile with POC, HVN, LVN), - Liquidity events (Wyckoff Spring), into a single, coherent system driven by a transparent Confluence Scoring Engine. The final output is presented in clear, actionable language: > STRONG LONG / WEAK LONG / NEUTRAL / WEAK SHORT / STRONG SHORT The system is designed to support professional decision-making, not to replace it. Used together with strict risk management and disciplined execution, Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) can serve as a central reference manual and operational guide for your trading workflow, from scalping to swing and investment positioning.

Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion # Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion ## TITLE: Elliott Wave + Smart Money Concepts Fusion --- ## SHORT DESCRIPTION: Automated Elliott Wave pattern detection with Smart Money Concepts confirmation, EWO oscillator integration, and confluence scoring system. --- ## FULL DESCRIPTION: ### 📊 OVERVIEW This indicator combines three powerful trading methodologies into a unified system: - **Elliott Wave Theory** - Automated detection of Wave 1-2 impulse patterns - **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** - Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for institutional confirmation - **Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO)** - Momentum-based signal validation The core concept is to identify high-probability Wave 3 entries by detecting completed Wave 1-2 structures and validating them with SMC and momentum indicators. --- ### 🔧 HOW IT WORKS **1. Pattern Detection (ZigZag Method)** - Uses pivot high/low detection to identify swing points - Validates Wave 2 retracement using Fibonacci ratios (default: 38.2% - 88.6%) - Requires minimum wave size to filter noise - Applies confirmation bars to avoid premature signals **2. Wave Projections** - Wave 3 target: Fibonacci extension of Wave 1 (default: 1.618) - Wave 4 retracement: Percentage of Wave 3 (default: 38.2%) - Wave 5 projection: Extension of Wave 1 from Wave 4 **3. Smart Money Validation** - **Order Blocks**: Identifies last opposing candle before breakout (institutional footprint) - **Fair Value Gaps**: Detects price imbalances for potential support/resistance **4. EWO Confirmation** - Calculates momentum: (EMA5 / EMA34 - 1) × 100 - Signal line crossovers confirm trend direction - Strong signals occur at extremes (< -13 or > 13 threshold) **5. Confluence Scoring (0-100%)** Points awarded for: - Fibonacci quality of Wave 2 retracement (10-30 pts) - Order Block presence (15 pts) - Fair Value Gap presence (10 pts) - Volume confirmation (10-15 pts) - Trend alignment with EMA50 (10 pts) - EWO confirmation (10-20 pts) --- ### 🎯 UNIQUE FEATURES **Pattern Locking System** - Once a valid pattern is detected, it locks until: - Pattern invalidates (price breaks Wave 0) - Pattern completes (Wave 5 reached) - Auto-timeout (configurable bars) - Prevents rapid signal flipping and false alerts **Signal Stability Controls** - Adjustable cooldown between signals (default: 20 bars) - Minimum bar distance between wave points - Direction change requirement option - Confirmation bars after Wave 2 formation **Visual Wave Tracking** - Solid lines for impulse waves (0→1, 2→3, 4→5) - Dashed lines for corrective waves (1→2, 3→4) - Numbered labels on each wave point - Real-time projection lines to targets **Comprehensive Dashboard** - Current wave status and lock state - Pattern grade (A+ to D based on confluence) - Projected vs actual wave levels (✓ when completed) - SMC confirmation status - Risk/Reward ratio calculation - EWO trend direction --- ### 📈 TRADING APPLICATION **Entry Strategy** - Wait for Wave 1-2 pattern detection (diamond signal) - Check confluence score (>65% = higher probability) - Verify EWO alignment with pattern direction - Enter after 30% retracement of Wave 2 (customizable) **Risk Management** - Stop Loss: Below Wave 0 (with buffer) - Take Profit 1: Wave 3 projection - Take Profit 2: Wave 5 projection - R:R displayed in dashboard **Invalidation Rules** - Price breaks below Wave 0 (bullish) or above (bearish) - Wave 2 level violated before Wave 3 forms - Pattern timeout exceeded --- ### ⚙️ KEY SETTINGS **Elliott Wave** - ZigZag Length: Pivot detection sensitivity - Fib Tolerance: Acceptable retracement range - Min Wave Size: Filter small movements **Signal Stability** - Signal Cooldown: Minimum bars between signals - Lock Pattern Until Invalid: Prevent signal changes - Confirmation Bars: Wait after Wave 2 **Wave Projection** - Wave 3/4/5 Fibonacci extensions - Projection display distance **EWO Settings** - Fast/Slow EMA lengths - Signal smoothing - Strength threshold **SMC Settings** - Order Block lookback period - FVG minimum size percentage --- ### 🔔 ALERTS - New bullish/bearish pattern detected - High confluence setup (>75%) - Pattern invalidation - Wave completion --- ### ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES - This indicator identifies **potential** Elliott Wave patterns based on mathematical rules - Elliott Wave analysis is subjective - patterns may be interpreted differently - Always combine with other analysis methods and proper risk management - Past pattern performance does not guarantee future results - Pattern locking prevents repainting but delays new pattern detection - Best used on higher timeframes (1H+) for cleaner wave structures --- ### 📚 METHODOLOGY REFERENCES **Elliott Wave Theory** - Wave 2 typically retraces 38.2% - 88.6% of Wave 1 - Wave 3 is often the strongest, extending 161.8% of Wave 1 - Wave 4 usually retraces 38.2% of Wave 3 - Wave 5 completes the impulse structure **Smart Money Concepts** - Order Blocks represent institutional supply/demand zones - FVGs indicate price inefficiencies that may act as magnets **Elliott Wave Oscillator** - Developed to identify wave momentum - Crossovers signal potential wave transitions - Extreme readings often coincide with wave completions --- ### 🎨 VISUAL ELEMENTS - **Green**: Bullish patterns and projections - **Red**: Bearish patterns and projections - **Orange**: Wave projection levels - **Purple**: Order Block zones - **Yellow**: Fair Value Gaps - **Blue**: Entry levels - **Diamond shapes**: New pattern signals - **Triangle shapes**: EWO crossover signals --- ### 💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS 1. Use on liquid markets with clear trend behavior 2. Higher timeframes produce more reliable patterns 3. Look for confluence scores above 65% 4. Verify EWO alignment before entry 5. Consider market context (overall trend, key levels) 6. Adjust ZigZag length based on your trading style 7. Increase cooldown period for longer-term signals --- **Indicator Type**: Overlay **Markets**: All (Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Commodities) **Timeframes**: All (1H+ recommended) **Style**: Pattern Recognition + Momentum + Price Action

Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks – Institutional Rejection Zone Detection The Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks indicator combines high-volume analysis with statistical confidence intervals to identify where institutional traders are actively defending price levels through volume spikes and rejection patterns. 🔥 Core Methodology Volume Spike Detection analyzes when current volume exceeds moving average by configurable multipliers (1.0-5.0x) to identify institutional activity Rejection Candle Analysis uses dual-ratio system measuring wick percentage (30-90%) and maximum body ratio (10-60%) to confirm genuine rejections Statistical Confidence Channels create three-level zones (upper, center, lower) based on ATR or Standard Deviation calculations Smart Invalidation Logic automatically clears zones when price significantly breaches confidence levels to maintain relevance Dynamic Channel Projection extends confidence intervals forward up to 200 bars with customizable length Support Zone Identification detects bullish rejections where smart money absorbs selling pressure with high volume and strong lower wicks Resistance Zone Mapping identifies bearish rejections where institutions defend price levels with volume spikes and pronounced upper wicks Visual Information Dashboard displays real-time status table showing volume spike conditions and active support/resistance zones ⚙️ Technical Configuration Dual Confidence Interval Methods: Choose between ATR-Based for trend-following environments or StdDev-Based for range-bound statistical precision Volume Moving Average: Configurable period (default 20) for baseline volume comparison calculations Volume Spike Multiplier: Adjustable threshold from 1.0 to 5.0 times average volume to filter institutional activity Rejection Wick Percentage: Set minimum wick size from 30% to 90% of candle range for valid rejection detection Maximum Body Ratio: Configure body-to-range ratio from 10% to 60% to ensure genuine rejection structures Confidence Multiplier: Statistical multiplier (default 1.96) for 95% confidence interval calculations Channel Projection Length: Extend confidence zones forward from 10 to 200 bars for anticipatory analysis ATR Period: Customize Average True Range lookback from 5 to 50 bars for volatility-based calculations StdDev Period: Adjust Standard Deviation period from 10 to 100 bars for statistical precision 🎯 Real-World Trading Applications Identify high-probability support zones where institutional buyers have historically defended price with significant volume Map resistance levels where smart money sellers consistently reject higher prices with volume confirmation Combine with price action analysis to confirm breakout validity when price approaches confidence channel boundaries Use invalidation signals to exit positions when smart money zones are definitively breached Monitor the real-time dashboard to quickly assess current market structure and active rejection zones Adapt strategy based on calculation method: ATR for trending markets, StdDev for ranging conditions Set alerts on confidence level breaches to catch potential trend reversals or continuation patterns 📈 Visual Interpretation Guide Green Zones indicate bullish rejection blocks where buyers defended with high volume and lower wicks Red Zones indicate bearish rejection blocks where sellers defended with high volume and upper wicks Solid Center Lines represent the core rejection price level where maximum volume activity occurred Dashed Confidence Boundaries show upper and lower statistical limits based on volatility calculations Zone Opacity decreases as channels extend forward to indicate decreasing confidence over time Dashboard Color Coding provides instant visual feedback on active volume spike and zone conditions ⚠️ Important Considerations Volume-based indicators identify historical rejection zones but cannot predict future price action with certainty Market conditions change rapidly and institutional activity patterns evolve continuously High volume does not guarantee level defense as market structure can shift without warning Confidence intervals represent statistical probabilities, not guaranteed price boundaries

Lord Mathew ATSThe Smart Money Structure & Pattern Analyzer is a complete, all-in-one visual trading system that brings together every essential element of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT methodology, and candlestick psychology into one powerful indicator. It is designed to help traders instantly understand the market’s structure, liquidity flow, and potential turning points without switching tools or manually marking charts. Whether you trade forex, indices, crypto, or commodities, this indicator automatically identifies where institutional activity, imbalances, and price inefficiencies occur in real time. With its advanced algorithm, it plots market structure shifts, equal highs and lows, liquidity zones, order blocks, fair value gaps (FVGs), and previous week and day levels (PWO, PWH, PWL, PWC, PDO, PDH, PDL, PDO). It also integrates a deep candlestick recognition engine that detects over ten classic and advanced candle formations including engulfing patterns, dojis, hammers, shooting stars, morning/evening stars, and spinning tops to provide precise confirmation at critical points of interest. This indicator isn’t just a tool it’s a complete market map that helps traders visualize how institutional order flow and candlestick sentiment interact. Core Features 📊 Market Structure Detection: Automatically marks swing highs/lows, Break of Structure (BOS), and Change of Character (CHOCH) in real time. 💧 Liquidity Mapping: Highlights equal highs/lows and liquidity grabs, showing where price is likely to target before a reversal or continuation. 🧱 Order Block Visualization: Displays the last bullish or bearish candle before an impulsive displacement, acting as a potential institutional entry zone. ⚡ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Scanner: Detects and highlights imbalances where price moved too fast, helping you identify high-probability retracement areas. 🕯️ Candlestick Pattern Recognition: Recognizes key reversal and continuation patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star, doji, morning/evening star, etc.) in real time. 📅 Institutional Reference Points: Plots previous week & day open (PWO, PDO), previous week & day high (PWH, PWH), previous week & day low (PWL, PDL), previous week & day close (PWC, PDC) and optionally previous day levels to help frame bias. 🎨 Customizable Design: Toggle any feature, change colors, and set alerts when multiple Smart Money signals align for cleaner, faster decision-making. How It Works Add the indicator to your chart on any timeframe or market. The algorithm automatically detects structure, liquidity, and imbalance zones. Candlestick patterns are highlighted when they form near high-probability areas (like OBs or FVGs). When confluence occurs such as a liquidity grab, FVG fill, and bullish engulfing candle—the indicator provides a visual signal zone for your confirmation-based entries. You can refine your trades using higher-timeframe bias (HTF order flow) and lower-timeframe execution (LTF confirmation). Best For Traders using ICT, Smart Money Concepts, or price-action systems. Intraday and swing traders looking for clear, data-driven chart structure. Traders who want to simplify confluence analysis and focus on precision execution. Why It Stands Out Unlike standard candlestick or pattern scanners, this indicator merges institutional market logic with technical candle behavior, allowing traders to see where smart money might be entering or exiting positions. It’s not about random signals it’s about context, structure, and confirmation. Every feature in this indicator is built around the principle of liquidity engineering: price creates liquidity, grabs it, and moves toward imbalance or order flow efficiency. By merging that institutional logic with candlestick patterns, this tool gives traders an edge in recognizing not only where to trade but why price is reacting in that exact area. Disclaimer This indicator is intended for educational and analytical use. It does not provide financial advice or guaranteed trading results. Always backtest and manage your risk responsibly.

MFx Radar (Money Flow x-Radar)Description: MFx Radar is a precision-built multi-timeframe analysis tool designed to identify high-probability trend shifts and accumulation/distribution events using a combination of WaveTrend dynamics, normalized money flow, RSI, BBWP, and OBV-based trend biasing. Multi-Timeframe Trend Scanner Analyze trend direction across 5 customizable timeframes using WaveTrend logic to produce a clear trend consensus. Smart Money Flow Detection Adaptive hybrid money flow combines CMF and MFI, normalized across lookback periods, to pinpoint shifts in accumulation or distribution with high sensitivity. Event-Based Labels & Alerts Minimalist "Accum" and "Distr" text labels appear at key inflection points, based on hybrid flow flips — designed to highlight smart money moves without clutter. Trigger & Pattern Recognition Built-in logic detects anchor points, trigger confirmations, and rare "Snake Eye" formations directly on WaveTrend, enhancing trade timing accuracy. Visual Dashboard Table A real-time table provides score-based insight into signal quality, trend direction, and volume behavior, giving you a full picture at a glance. MFx Radar helps streamline discretionary and system-based trading decisions by surfacing key confluences across price, volume, and momentum all while staying out of your way visually. How to Use MFx Radar MFx Radar is a multi-timeframe market intelligence tool designed to help you spot trend direction, momentum shifts, volume strength, and high-probability trade setups using confluence across price, flow, and timeframes. Where to find settings To see the full visual setup: After adding the script, open the Settings gear. Go to the Inputs tab and enable: Show Trigger Diamonds Show WT Cross Circles Show Anchor/Trigger/Snake Eye Labels Show Table Show OBV Divergence Show Multi-TF Confluence Show Signal Score Then, go to the Style tab to adjust colors and fills for the wave plots and hybrid money flow. (Use published chart as a reference.) What the Waves and Colors Mean Blue WaveTrend (WT1 / WT2). These are the main momentum waves. WT1 > WT2 = bullish momentum WT1 < WT2 = bearish momentum Above zero = bullish bias Below zero = bearish bias When WT1 crosses above WT2, it often marks the beginning of a move — these are shown as green trigger diamonds. VWAP-MACD Line The yellow fill helps spot volume-based momentum. Rising = trend acceleration Use together with BBWP (bollinger band width percentile) and hybrid money flow for confirmation. Hybrid Money Flow Combines CMF and MFI, normalized and smoothed. Green = accumulation Red = distribution Transitions are key — especially when price moves up, but money flow stays red (a divergence warning). This is useful for spotting fakeouts or confirming smart money shifts. Orange Vertical Highlights Shows when price is rising, but money flow is still red. Often a sign of hidden distribution or "exit pump" behavior. Table Dashboard (Bottom-Right) BBWP (Volatility Pulse) When BBWP is low (<20), it signals consolidation — a breakout is likely to follow. Use this with ADX and WaveTrend position to anticipate directional breakouts. Trend by ADX Shows whether the market is trending and in which direction. Combined with money flow and RSI, this gives strong confirmation on breakouts. OBV HTF Bias Gives higher timeframe pressure (bullish/bearish/neutral). Helps avoid taking counter-trend trades. Pattern Labels (WT-Based) A = Anchor Wave — WT hitting oversold T = Trigger Wave — WT turning back up after anchor 👀 = Snake Eyes — Rare pattern, usually signaling strong reversal potential These help in timing entries, especially when they align with other signals like BBWP breakouts, confluence, or smart money flow flips. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Consensus The system checks WaveTrend on 5 different timeframes and gives: Color-coded signals on each TF A final score: “Mostly Up,” “Mostly Down,” or “Mixed” When MTFs align with wave crosses, BBWP expansion, and hybrid money flow shifts, the probability of sustained move is higher. Divergence Spotting (Advanced Tip) Watch for:Price rising while money flow is red → Possible trap / early exit Price dropping while money flow is green → Early accumulation Combine this with anchor-trigger patterns and MTF trend support for spotting bottoms or tops early. Final Tips Use WT trigger crosses as initial signal. Confirm with money flow direction + color flip Look at BBWP for breakout timing. Use table as your decision dashboard Favor trades that align with MTF consensus

Advanced ICT Theory - A-ICT📊 Advanced ICT Theory (A-ICT): The Institutional Manipulation Detector Are you tired of being the liquidity? Stop chasing shadows and start tracking the architects of price movement. This is not another lagging indicator. This is a complete framework for viewing the market through the lens of institutional traders. Advanced ICT Theory (A-ICT) is an all-in-one, military-grade analysis engine designed to decode the complex language of "Smart Money." It automates the core tenets of Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology, moving beyond simple patterns to build a dynamic, real-time narrative of market manipulation, liquidity engineering, and institutional order flow. AIT provides a living blueprint of the market, identifying high-probability zones, tracking structural shifts, and scoring the quality of setups with a sophisticated, multi-factor algorithm. This is your X-ray into the market's true intentions. 🔬 THE CORE ENGINE: DECODING THE THEORY & FORMULAS A-ICT is built upon a sophisticated, multi-layered logic system that interprets price action as a story of cause and effect. It does not guess; it confirms. Here is the foundational theory that drives the engine: 1. Market Structure: The Blueprint of Trend The script first establishes a deep understanding of the market's skeleton through multi-level pivot analysis. It uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to identify significant swing points. Internal Structure (iBOS): Minor swings that show the short-term order flow. A break of internal structure is the first whisper of a potential shift. External Structure (eBOS): Major swing points that define the primary trend. A confirmed break of external structure is a powerful statement of trend continuation. AIT validates this with optional Volume Confirmation (volume > volumeSMA * 1.2) and Candle Confirmation to ensure the break is driven by institutional force, not just a random spike. Change of Character (CHoCH): This is the earthquake. A CHoCH occurs when a confirmed eBOS happens against the prevailing trend (e.g., a bearish eBOS in a clear uptrend). A-ICT flags this immediately, as it is the strongest signal that the primary trend is under threat of reversal. 2. Liquidity Engineering: The Fuel of the Market Institutions don't buy into strength; they buy into weakness. They need liquidity. A-ICT maps these liquidity pools with forensic precision: Buyside & Sellside Liquidity (BSL/SSL): Using ta.highest and ta.lowest, AIT identifies recent highs and lows where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity) are resting. These are institutional targets. Liquidity Sweeps: This is the "manipulation" part of the detector. AIT has a specific formula to detect a sweep: high > bsl and close < bsl . This signifies that institutions pushed price just high enough to trigger buy-stops before aggressively selling—a classic "stop hunt." This event dramatically increases the quality score of subsequent patterns. 3. The Element Lifecycle: From Potential to Power This is the revolutionary heart of A-ICT. Zones are not static; they have a lifecycle. AIT tracks this with its dynamic classification engine. Phase 1: PENDING (Yellow): The script identifies a potential zone of interest based on a specific candle formation (a "displacement"). It is marked as "Pending" because its true nature is unknown. It is a question. Phase 2: CLASSIFICATION: After the zone is created, AIT watches what happens next. The zone's identity is defined by its actions: ORDER BLOCK (Blue): The highest-grade element. A zone is classified as an Order Block if it directly causes a Break of Structure (BOS) . This is the footprint of institutions entering the market with enough force to validate the new trend direction. TRAP ZONE (Orange): A zone is classified as a Trap Zone if it is directly involved in a Liquidity Sweep . This indicates the zone was used to engineer liquidity, setting a "trap" for retail traders before a reversal. REVERSAL / S&R ZONE (Green): If a zone is not powerful enough to cause a BOS or a major sweep, but still serves as a pivot point, it's classified as a general support/resistance or reversal zone. 4. Market Inefficiencies: Gaps in the Matrix Fair Value Gaps (FVG): AIT detects FVGs—a 3-bar pattern indicating an imbalance—with a strict formula: low > high (for a bullish FVG) and gapSize > atr14 * 0.5. This ensures only significant, volatile gaps are shown. An FVG co-located with an Order Block is a high-confluence setup. 5. Premium & Discount: The Law of Value Institutions buy at wholesale (Discount) and sell at retail (Premium). AIT uses a pdLookback to define the current dealing range and divides it into three zones: Premium (sell zone), Discount (buy zone), and Equilibrium. An element's quality score is massively boosted if it aligns with this principle (e.g., a bullish Order Block in a Discount zone). ⚙️ THE CONTROL PANEL: A COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE INPUTS MENU Every setting is a lever, allowing you to tune the AIT engine to your exact specifications. Master these to unlock the script's full potential. 🎯 A-ICT Detection Engine Min Displacement Candles: Controls the sensitivity of element detection. How it works: It defines the number of subsequent candles that must be "inside" a large parent candle. Best practice: Use 2-3 for a balanced view on most timeframes. A higher number (4-5) will find only major, more significant zones, ideal for swing trading. A lower number (1) is highly sensitive, suitable for scalping. Mitigation Method: Defines when a zone is considered "used up" or mitigated. How it works: Cross triggers as soon as price touches the zone's boundary. Close requires a candle to fully close beyond it. Best practice: Cross is more responsive for fast-moving markets. Close is more conservative and helps filter out fake-outs caused by wicks, making it safer for confirmations. Min Element Size (ATR): A crucial noise filter. How it works: It requires a detected zone to be at least this multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). Best practice: Keep this around 0.5. If you see too many tiny, irrelevant zones, increase this value to 0.8 or 1.0. If you feel the script is missing smaller but valid zones, decrease it to 0.3. Age Threshold & Pending Timeout: These manage visual clutter. How they work: Age Threshold removes old, mitigated elements after a set number of bars. Pending Timeout removes a "Pending" element if it isn't classified within a certain window. Best practice: The default settings are optimized. If your chart feels cluttered, reduce the Age Threshold. If pending zones disappear too quickly, increase the Pending Timeout. Min Quality Threshold: Your primary visual filter. How it works: It hides all elements (boxes, lines, labels) that do not meet this minimum quality score (0-100). Best practice: Start with the default 30. To see only A- or B-grade setups, increase this to 60 or 70 for an exceptionally clean, high-probability view. 🏗️ Market Structure Lookbacks (Internal, External, Major): These define the sensitivity of the trend analysis. How they work: They set the number of bars to the left and right for pivot detection. Best practice: Use smaller values for Internal (e.g., 3) to see minor structure and larger values for External (e.g., 10-15) to map the main trend. For a macro, long-term view, increase the Major Swing Lookback. Require Volume/Candle Confirmation: Toggles for quality control on BOS/CHoCH signals. Best practice: It is highly recommended to keep these enabled. Disabling them will result in more structure signals, but many will be false alarms. They are your filter against market noise. ... (Continue this detailed breakdown for every single input group: Display Configuration, Zones Style, Levels Appearance, Colors, Dashboards, MTF, Liquidity, Premium/Discount, Sessions, and IPDA). 📊 THE INTELLIGENCE DASHBOARDS: YOUR COMMAND CENTER The dashboards synthesize all the complex analysis into a simple, actionable intelligence briefing. Main Dashboard (Bottom Right) ICT Metrics & Breakdown: This is your statistical overview. Total Elements shows how much structure the script is tracking. High Quality instantly tells you if there are any A/B grade setups nearby. Unmitigated vs. Mitigated shows the balance of fresh opportunities versus resolved price action. The breakdown by Order Blocks, Trap Zones, etc., gives you a quick read on the market's recent character. Structure & Market Context: This is your core bias. Order Flow tells you the current script-determined trend. Last BOS shows you the most recent structural event. CHoCH Active is a critical warning. HTF Bias shows if you are aligned with the higher timeframe—the checkmark (✓) for alignment is one of the most important confluence factors. Smart Money Flow: A volume-based sentiment gauge. Net Flow shows the raw buying vs. selling pressure, while the Bias provides an interpretation (e.g., "STRONG BULLISH FLOW"). Key Guide (Large Dashboard only): A built-in legend so you never have to guess. It defines every pattern, structure type, and special level visually. 📖 Narrative Dashboard (Bottom Left) This is the "story" of the market, updated in real-time. It's designed to build your trading thesis. Recent Elements Table: A live list of the most recent, high-quality setups. It displays the Type , its Narrative Role (e.g., "Bullish OB caused BOS"), its raw Quality percentage, and its final Trade Score grade. This is your at-a-glance opportunity scanner. Market Narrative Section: This is the soul of A-ICT. It combines all data points into a human-readable story: 📍 Current Phase: Tells you if you are in a high-volatility Killzone or a consolidation phase like the Asian Range. 🎯 Bias & Alignment: Your primary direction, with a clear indicator of HTF alignment or conflict. 🔗 Events: A causal sequence of recent events, like "💧 Sell-side liquidity swept → 📊 Bullish BOS → 🎯 Active Order Block". 🎯 Next Expectation: The script's logical conclusion. It provides a specific, forward-looking hypothesis, such as "📉 Pullback expected to bullish OB at 1.2345 before continuation up." 🎨 READING THE BATTLEFIELD: A VISUAL INTERPRETATION GUIDE Every color and line is a piece of information. Learn to read them together to see the full picture. The Core Zones (Boxes): Blue Box (Order Block): Highest probability zone for trend continuation. Look for entries here. Orange Box (Trap Zone): A manipulation footprint. Expect a potential reversal after price interacts with this zone. Green Box (Reversal/S&R): A standard pivot area. A good reference point but requires more confluence. Purple Box (FVG): A market imbalance. Acts as a magnet for price. An FVG inside an Order Block is an A+ confluence. The Structural Lines: Green/Red Line (eBOS): Confirms the trend direction. A break above the green line is bullish; a break below the red line is bearish. Thick Orange Line (CHoCH): WARNING. The previous trend is now in question. The market character has changed. Blue/Red Lines (BSL/SSL): Liquidity targets. Expect price to gravitate towards these lines. A dotted line with a checkmark (✓) means the liquidity has been "swept" or "purged." How to Synthesize: The magic is in the confluence. A perfect setup might look like this: Price sweeps below a red SSL line , enters a green Discount Zone during the NY Killzone , and forms a blue Order Block which then causes a green eBOS . This sequence, visible at a glance, is the story of a high-probability long setup. 🔧 THE ARCHITECT'S VISION: THE DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY A-ICT was forged from the frustration of using lagging indicators in a market that is forward-looking. Traditional tools are reactive; they tell you what happened. The vision for A-ICT was to create a proactive engine that could anticipate institutional behavior by understanding their objectives: liquidity and efficiency. The development process was centered on creating a "lifecycle" for price patterns—the idea that a zone's true meaning is only revealed by its consequence. This led to the post-breakout classification system and the narrative-building engine. It's designed not just to show you patterns, but to tell you their story. ⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER & BEST PRACTICES Advanced ICT Theory (A-ICT) is a professional-grade analytical tool and does not provide financial advice or direct buy/sell signals. Its analysis is based on historical price action and probabilities. All forms of trading involve substantial risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this tool as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes your own analysis and a robust risk management strategy. Do not trade based on this indicator alone. 観の目つよく、見の目よわく "Kan no me tsuyoku, ken no me yowaku" — Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings English: "Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye." — Dskyz, Trade with insight.

ICT Setup 04 [TradingFinder] SFP Sweep Liquidity Fake CHoCH/BOS🔵 Introduction In smart money and ICT based trading, liquidity is never random. Some of the most meaningful market moves begin with a liquidity sweep where price intentionally hunts a previous swing high or swing low to trigger stop loss orders and absorb volume. This manipulation is often followed by a sharp reversal from a reaction zone, creating ideal conditions for a high probability entry. This indicator is built to detect exactly that. It identifies a valid swing point and defines a reaction zone where price is likely to react. For short setups, the zone lies between the swing high and the maximum of the candle’s open or close. For long setups, it’s drawn from the swing low to the minimum of the open or close. When price returns to this zone and forms a qualified confirmation candle typically a doji or a small bodied candle that closes inside the zone while sweeping the liquidity this is a potential sign of reversal. The candle must show both the sweep and the inability to hold above or below the key level, signaling a fake breakout or failed move. By combining elements of liquidity hunt, reaction zone rejection, and candle based entry confirmation, this tool highlights sniper entry points used by smart money to trap retail traders and reverse the trend. It helps filter out noise and enhances timing, making it ideal for trading in alignment with institutional order flow. Long Position : Short Position : 🔵 How to Use This indicator is designed to highlight precise moments where price sweeps liquidity and reacts within a high probability reversal zone. By identifying clean swing highs and lows and defining a smart reaction zone around them, it filters out weak fakeouts and focuses only on setups with strong institutional footprints. The tool works best when combined with market structure analysis and is suitable for both scalping and intraday trading. Below is a breakdown of how to interpret the signals for long and short positions based on the visual setups provided. 🟣 Long Setup In a long setup, the indicator first detects a valid swing low where liquidity has likely accumulated below. A reaction zone is then drawn between the swing low and the minimum of the open or close of the swing candle. When price returns to this zone, it must sweep the previous low and form a precise confirmation candle, such as a doji or a small bodied candle, that closes inside the zone. This candle must also reject the lower level, showing failure to continue downward. As shown in the chart, once the liquidity grab is complete and the confirmation candle forms, a clean long signal is issued, indicating a potential bullish reversal backed by smart money behavior. 🟣 Short Setup In a short setup, the indicator identifies a swing high where buy-side liquidity is resting. It then constructs a reaction zone between the high and the maximum of the open or close of the swing candle. Price must return to this zone, sweep the swing high, and form a bearish confirmation candle inside the zone. A classic example is a doji or rejection candle that traps breakout buyers and fails to hold above the previous high. In the provided chart, the price aggressively hunts the liquidity above the swing high, but the close within the reaction zone signals exhaustion, prompting a short signal with high reversal probability. These setups represent moments where price action, liquidity behavior, and candle structure align to offer strong entries. By focusing on clean sweeps and reactive confirmations, the indicator helps traders stay on the side of smart money and avoid common breakout traps. 🔵 Settings 🟣 Logical settings Swing period : You can set the swing detection period. Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine. Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking. Maximum Distance Between Swing and Signal :The maximum number of candles allowed between the swing point and the potential signal. The default value is 50, ensuring that only recent and relevant price reactions are considered valid. 🟣 Display settings Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines. 🟣 Alert Settings Alert SFP : Enables alerts for Swing Failure Pattern. Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'. Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'. 🔵 Conclusion This indicator is built for traders who rely on liquidity driven setups and smart money principles. By combining swing structure analysis with precision reaction zones and strict entry confirmation, it isolates the exact moments where price sweeps liquidity and fails to continue. These are high value points where institutional activity often reveals itself, and retail traps unfold. Unlike generic breakout tools, this script focuses on quality over quantity by requiring both a sweep of a swing high or low and a confirmed rejection candle that closes inside a predefined zone. With customizable swing depth, proximity filters, visual highlights, and alert functions, it offers a complete framework for identifying and acting on fake breakouts with confidence. Whether you trade forex, crypto, or indices, this tool enhances your ability to align with true order flow and take entries where liquidity is most likely to shift.

OA - SMESSmart Money Entry Signals (SMES) The SMES indicator is developed to identify potential turning points in market behavior by analyzing internal price dynamics, rather than relying on external volume or sentiment data. It leverages normalized price movement, directional volatility, and smoothing algorithms to detect potential areas of accumulation or distribution by market participants. Core Concepts Smart Money Flow calculation based on normalized price positioning Directional VHF (Vertical Horizontal Filter) used to enhance signal directionality Overbought and Oversold regions defined with optional glow visualization Entry and Exit signals based on dynamic crossovers Highly customizable input parameters for precision control Key Inputs Smart Money Flow Period Smoothing Period Price Analysis Length Fibonacci Lookback Length Visual toggle options (zones, glow effects, signal display) Usage This tool plots the smoothed smart money flow as a standalone oscillator, designed to help traders identify potential momentum shifts or extremes in market sentiment. Entry signals are generated through crossover logic, while optional filters based on price behavior can refine those signals. Exit signals are shown when the smart money line exits extreme regions. Important Notes This indicator does not repaint Works on all timeframes and instruments Best used as a confirmation tool with other technical frameworks All calculations are based strictly on price data Disclaimer This script is intended for educational purposes only. It does not provide financial advice or guarantee performance. Please do your own research and apply appropriate risk management before making any trading decisions.

ICT Macro Zone Boxes w/ Individual H/L Tracking v3.1ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version This indicator dynamically highlights key intraday time-based macro sessions using a clean, minimalistic grey box overlay, helping traders align with institutional trading cycles. Inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, it tracks real-time highs and lows for each session and optionally extends the zone box after the session ends — making it a precision tool for intraday setups, order flow analysis, and macro-level liquidity sweeps. ### 🔍 **What It Does** - Plots **six predefined macro sessions** used in Smart Money Concepts: - AM Macro (09:50–10:10) - London Close (10:50–11:10) - Lunch Macro (11:30–13:30) - PM Macro (14:50–15:10) - London SB (03:00–04:00) - PM SB (15:00–16:00) - Each zone: - **Tracks high and low dynamically** throughout the session. - **Draws a consistent grey shaded box** to visualize price boundaries. - **Displays a label** at the first bar of the session (optional). - **Optionally extends** the box to the right after the session closes. ### 🧠 **How It Works** - Uses Pine Script arrays to define each session’s time window, label, and color. - Detects session entry using `time()` within a New York timezone context. - High/Low values are updated per bar inside the session window. - Once a session ends, the box is optionally closed and fixed in place. - All visual zones use a standardized grey tone for clarity and consistency across charts. ### 🛠️ **Settings** - **Shade Zone High→Low:** Enable/disable the grey macro box. - **Extend Box After Session:** Keep the zone visible after it ends. - **Show Entry Label:** Display a label at the start of each session. ### 🎯 **Why This Script is Unique** Unlike basic session markers or colored backgrounds, this tool: - Focuses on **macro moments of liquidity and reversal**, not just open/close times. - Uses **per-session logic** to individually track price behavior inside key time windows. - Supports **real-time high/low tracking and clean zone drawing**, ideal for Smart Money and ICT-style strategies. Perfect — based on your list, here's a **bundle-style description** that not only explains the function of each script but also shows how they **work together** in a Smart Money/ICT workflow. This kind of cross-script explanation is exactly what TradingView wants to see to justify closed-source mashups or interdependent tools. --- 📚 ICT SMC Toolkit — Script Integration Guide This set of advanced Smart Money Concept (SMC) tools is designed for traders who follow ICT-based methodologies, combining liquidity theory, time-based precision, and engineered confluences for high-probability trades. Each indicator is optimized to work both independently and synergistically, forming a comprehensive trading framework. --- First FVG Custom Time Range **Purpose:** Plots the **first Fair Value Gap (FVG)** that appears within a defined session (e.g., NY Kill Zone, Custom range). Includes optional retest alerts. **Best Used With:** - Use with **ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version)** to isolate FVGs during high-probability times like AM Macro or PM SB. - Combine with **Liquidity Levels** to assess whether FVGs form near swing points or liquidity voids. --- ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OB s **Purpose:** Detects **liquidity grabs** (stop hunts above/below swing highs/lows) and **bullish/bearish order blocks**. Includes optional Fibonacci OTE levels for sniper entries. **Best Used With:** - Use with **ICT Turtle Soup (Reversal)** for confirmation after a liquidity grab. - Combine with **Macro Zones** to catch order blocks forming inside timed macro windows. - Match with **Smart Swing Levels** to confirm structure breaks before entry. ICT SMC Liquidity Levels (Smart Swing Lows) **Purpose:** Automatically marks swing highs/lows based on user-defined lookbacks. Tracks whether those levels have been breached or respected. **Best Used With:** - Combine with **Turtle Soup** to detect if a swing level was swept, then reversed. - Use with **Liquidity Grabs** to confirm a grab occurred at a meaningful structural point. - Align with **Macro Zones** to understand when liquidity events occur within macro session timing. ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal) **Purpose:** Implements the classic ICT Turtle Soup model. Looks for swing failure and quick reversals after a liquidity sweep — ideal for catching traps. Best Used With: - Confirm with **Liquidity Grabs + OBs** to identify institutional activity at the reversal point. - Use **Liquidity Levels** to ensure the reversal is happening at valid previous swing highs/lows. - Amplify probability when pattern appears during **Macro Zones** or near the **First FVG**. ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 **Purpose:** An enhanced, multi-layer version of the Turtle Soup setup that includes built-in liquidity checks, OTE levels, structure validation, and customizable visual output. **Best Used With:** - Use as an **entry signal generator** when other indicators (e.g., OBs, liquidity grabs) are aligned. - Pair with **Macro Zones** for high-precision timing. - Combine with **First FVG** to anticipate price rebalancing before explosive moves. --- ## 🧠 Workflow Example: 1. **Start with Macro Zones** to focus only on institutional trading windows. 2. Look for **Liquidity Grabs or Swing Sweeps** around key highs/lows. 3. Check for a **Turtle Soup Reversal** or **Order Block Reaction** near that level. 4. Confirm confluence with a **Fair Value Gap**. 5. Execute using the **OTE level** from the Liquidity Grabs + OB script. --- Let me know which script you want to publish first — I’ll tailor its **individual TradingView description** and flag its ideal **“Best Used With” partners** to help users see the value in your ecosystem.
