MojoPivots Breakout Signals [DonnieMojo]The MojoPivots Breakout Indicator is a precision-engineered tool designed for traders seeking high-probability breakout opportunities using dynamic pivot structures and real-time volume imbalances.
Built on DonnieMojo’s breakout framework, this indicator analyzes market structure via custom MR (Major Resistance) and MS (Major Support) levels, dynamically derived from intraday volume profiles and statistical price expansion. It intelligently tracks and visualizes potential breakout zones, key "line-in-the-sand" levels, and take-profit targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) based on volatility-adjusted zones.
🔑 Core Features:
Breakout Signal Detection
Identifies potential bullish and bearish breakouts when price breaches predefined resistance (MR1) or support (MS1) levels with confirmation from volume dynamics.
Smart Take-Profit System
Targets are automatically mapped to MR2–MR4 and MS2–MS4, offering structured TP zones based on standard deviation thresholds.
Delta Zone Visuals
Color-coded fills display real-time buyer/seller dominance in each zone using an imbalance-weighted volume model.
VPOC "Sand Line"
The Volume Point of Control is plotted to show the session's key battle line for trend continuation or rejection.
Statistical Performance Panel
Live breakout stats with hit-rate bars (TP1/TP2/TP3) help you evaluate performance and adjust trade management.
🧪 Usage Tips:
Timeframe Sync: The default detection logic is based on 15-minute candles, but pivot zones are calculated from higher timeframes (2H by default). Adjust these in the settings to suit your strategy.
Entry Trigger: Wait for price to close below MS1 or above MR1 and breach it on the next bar to confirm a breakout signal.
TP Scaling: Use TP1 for conservative exits or scale out progressively at TP2 and TP3 for extended moves.
Volume Confirmation: Delta zone fills (green/red) help validate whether breakout levels are supported by buyer/seller strength — fade low-delta signals with caution.
Combine with Trend Filters: Enhance results by using MojoPivots alongside trend indicators like EMAs, ADX, or macro S/R.

Dynamic VWAP: Fair Value & Divergence SuiteDynamic VWAP: Fair Value & Divergence Suite
Dynamic VWAP: Fair Value & Divergence Suite is a comprehensive tool for tracking contextual valuation, overextension, and potential reversal signals in trending markets. Unlike traditional VWAP that anchors to the start of a session or a fixed period, this indicator dynamically resets the VWAP anchor to the most recent swing low. This design allows you to monitor how far price has extended from the most recent significant low, helping identify zones of potential profit-taking or reversion.
Deviation bands (standard deviations above the anchored VWAP) provide a clear visual framework to assess whether price is in a fair value zone (±1σ), moderately extended (+2σ), or in zones of extreme extension (+3σ to +5σ). The indicator also highlights contextual divergence signals, including slope deceleration, weak-volume retests, and deviation failures—giving you actionable confluence around potential reversal points.
Because the anchor updates dynamically, this tool is particularly well suited for trend-following assets like BTC or stocks in sustained moves, where price rarely returns to deep negative deviation zones. For this reason, the indicator focuses on upside extension rather than symmetrical reversion to a long-term mean.
🎯 Key Features
✅ Dynamic Swing Low Anchoring
Continuously re-anchors VWAP to the most recent swing low based on your chosen lookback period.
Provides context for trend progression and overextension relative to structural lows.
✅ Standard Deviation Bands
Plots up to +5σ deviation bands to visualize levels of overextension.
Extended bands (+3σ to +5σ) can be toggled for simplicity.
✅ Conditional Zone Fills
Colored background fills show when price is inside each valuation zone.
Helps you immediately see if price is in fair value, moderately extended, or highly stretched territory.
✅ Divergence Detection
VWAP Slope Divergence: Flags when price makes a higher high but VWAP slope decelerates.
Low Volume Retest: Highlights weak re-tests of VWAP on low volume.
Deviation Failure: Identifies when price reverts back inside +1σ after closing beyond +3σ.
✅ Volume Fallback
If volume is unavailable, uses high-low range as a proxy.
✅ Highly Customizable
Adjust lookbacks, show/hide extended bands, toggle fills, and enable or disable divergences.
🛠️ How to Use
Identify Buy and Sell Zones
Price in the fair value band (±1σ) suggests equilibrium.
Reaching +2σ to +3σ signals increasing overextension and potential areas to take profits.
+4σ to +5σ zones can be used to watch for exhaustion or mean-reversion setups.
Monitor Divergence Signals
Use slope divergence and deviation failures to look for confluence with overextension.
Low volume retests can flag rallies lacking conviction.
Adapt Swing Lookback
30–50 bars: Faster re-anchoring for swing trading.
75–100 bars: More stable anchors for longer-term trends.
🧭 Best Practices
Combine the anchored VWAP with higher timeframe structure.
Confirm signals with other tools (momentum, volume profiles, or trend filters).
Use extended deviation zones as context, not as standalone signals.

Senn System A"Senn System A" is a robust, all-in-one indicator engineered to enhance your market analysis by intelligently combining the power of Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for range-bound conditions and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbons for trending environments. This script aims to provide traders with a clear, dynamic visual representation of market structure and momentum across multiple timeframes. A core feature allows you to select and display two distinct VWAP instances simultaneously, each anchoring to your choice of Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly periods. These VWAPs include clean, filled bands highlighting the area between Standard Deviation 1 and Standard Deviation 2, providing immediate visual cues for key price zones. Furthermore, a unique "Previous VWAP" feature, complete with its own selectable bands and fills, offers valuable historical context for understanding past price action relative to significant volume profiles.
Complementing the VWAP functionality, the indicator integrates an advanced EMA ribbon system, building upon the principles of effective trend visualization. You can customize the lengths of the primary EMA ribbon (defaulting to 25, 36, 50 periods) to suit your analysis of short to medium-term trends. Additionally, dedicated toggles enable the display of higher-timeframe trend ribbons, using EMAs of 100/200 for daily trend and 600/1200 for weekly trend. These ribbons are color-coded based on EMA crossovers, providing intuitive visual signals of trend direction and strength. The "Senn System A" is designed to be highly configurable, allowing traders to tailor the indicator's appearance and active components to their specific trading strategies and market conditions.

Liquidity composition / Flowly Indicators- Overview
Liquidity composition divides each candle into sections that are used to display transaction activity at price. In simple terms, an X-ray through candle is formed, revealing the orderflow that built the candle in greater detail. Liquidity composition consists of two main components, lots and columns. Lots and columns can be used to visualize user specified volume types, currently supporting net volume and volume delta. Lots and columns can be used to visualize same or different volume types, allowing a combination of volume footprint, volume delta footprint and volume profile in one single view. Liquidity composition principally works on any chart, whether that is equities, currencies, cryptocurrencies or commodities, even charts with no volume data (in which case volatility is used to approximate transaction activity). The script also works on any timeframe, from minute charts to monthly charts. Orderflow can be observed in real-time as it develops and none of the indications are repainted.
Example: Displaying same volume types on lots and columns
Example: Displaying different volume types on lots and columns
Liquidity composition supports user specified derivative data, such as point of control(s) and net activity coloring. Derivative data can be calculated based on either net volume or volume delta, resulting in different highlights.
With net volume, volume delta and derivative data in one view, key orderflow events such as delta imbalances, high volume nodes, low volume nodes and point of controls can be used to quickly identify accumulation/distribution, imbalances, unfinished/finished auctions and trapped traders.

- Lots and columns can be used to display same or different volume types (e.g. volume delta lots and net volume columns) in single view
- Users can specify derivative data such as volume delta POCs, net volume POC and net activity coloring
- For practical guide with practical examples, see last section
Disclaimer
Orderflow data is estimated using lower timeframe price movement. While accurate and useful, it's important to note the calculations are estimations and are not based on orderbook data. Estimates are calculated by allotting volume developing on lower timeframe chart to its respective section based on closing price. Volume delta (difference between buyers/sellers) is calculated by subtracting down move volumes (sell volume) from up move volumes (buy volume). Accuracy of the orderflow estimations largely depends on quality of lower timeframe chart used for calculations, which is why this tool cannot be expected to work accurately on illiquid charts with broken data.
Liquidity composition does not provide a standalone trading strategy or financial advice. It also does not substitute knowing how to trade. Example charts and ideas shown for use cases are textbook examples under ideal conditions, not guaranteed to repeat as they are presented. Liquidity composition should be viewed as one tool providing one kind of evidence, to be used in conjunction with other means of analysis.

- Calculations
By default, size of sections and lower timeframe accuracy are automatically determined for all charts and timeframes. Number of lower timeframe price moves used for calculating orderflow is kept at fixed value, by default set to 350. Accuracy value dictates how many lower timeframe candles are included in the calculation of volume at price. At 350, the script will always use 350 lower timeframe price movements in calculations (when possible). When calculated dynamic timeframe is less than 1 minute, the script switches to available seconds based timeframes. Minimum dynamic timeframe can be capped to 1 minute (as seconds based timeframes are not available for all plans) or dynamic timeframe can be overridden using an user specified timeframe.
Example: Calculating dynamic lower timeframe
Main chart: 4H / 240 minutes
Accuracy value: 100
Formula: 240 minutes / 100 = 2.4 minutes
Timeframe used for calculations = 2 minutes
Section size is automatically determined based on typical historical candle range, the bigger it is, the bigger the section size as well. Like dynamic timeframe, automatic section size can be manually overridden by user specified size expressed in ticks (minimum price unit). Users can also adjust sensitivity of automatic sizing by setting it higher (smaller sections, more detail and more noise) or lower (less sections, less detail and less noise). Section size and dynamic timeframe can be monitored via metric table.
Volume at price is calculated by allotting volume associated with a lower timeframe price movement to its respective section based on closing price (volume is stored to the section that covers closing price). When used on a chart with no volume data, volatility is used instead to determine likely magnitude of participation. Volume delta (difference between buyers/sellers) is calculated by subtracting down move volumes (sell volume) from up move volumes (buy volume). Volumes accrued in sections are monitored over a longer period of time to determine a "normal" amount of activity, which is then used to normalize accrued volumes by benchmarking them against historical values.
Volume values displayed on the left side represent how close or far volume traded at given section is to an extreme, represented by value of 10 . The more value exceeds 10, the more extreme transaction activity is historically. The lesser the value, the less extreme (and therefore more typical) transaction activity is. Users can adjust sensitivity of volume extreme threshold, either by increasing it (more transaction activity is needed to constitute an extreme) or decreasing it (less transaction activity is needed to constitute an extreme).
Example: Interpreting volume scale
0 = Very little to no transaction activity compared to historical values
5 = Transaction activity equal to average historical values
10 = Transaction activity equal to an extreme in historical values
10+ = The more transaction activity exceeds value of 10, the more extreme it is historically
Accuracy of orderflow data largely depends on quality of lower timeframe data used in calculations. Sometimes quality of underlying lower timeframe data is insufficient due to suboptimal accuracy or broken lower timeframe data, usually caused by illiquid charts with gaps and inconsistent values. Therefore, one should always ensure the usage of most liquid chart available with no gaps in lower timeframe data. To combat poor orderflow data, a simple data quality check is conducted by calculating percentage of sections with volume data out of all available sections. Idea behind the test is to capture instances where unusual amount of sections are completely empty, most likely due to data gaps in LTF chart. E.g. 90% of sections hold some volume data, 10% are completely empty = 90% data quality score.
Data quality score should be viewed as a metric alerting when detail of underlying data is insufficient to consider accurate. When data quality score is slightly below threshold, lower timeframe chart used for calculations is likely fine, but accuracy value is too low. In this case, one should increase accuracy value or manually override used timeframe with a smaller one. When data quality score is well below threshold, lower timeframe chart used for calculations is likely broken and cannot be fixed. In this case, one should look for alternative charts with more reliable data (e.g. ES1! -> SPY, BITSTAMP:BTCUSD -> BINANCE:BTCUSDT).
Example : When insufficient data quality scores can/cannot be fixed
- Derivative data
Point of control
Point of control, referring to point in price where transaction activity is highest, can be calculated based on the volume type of lots or columns (based on net volume or volume delta). Depending on the calculation basis, displayed point of controls will vary. POC calculated based on net volume is no different from traditional POC, it is simply the section with highest amount of transaction activity, marked with an X. When calculating POC based on volume delta, the script will highlight two point of controls, named leading and losing point of control . Leading POC refers to lot with highest amount of volume delta, marked with an X. If leading POC was net buy volume, losing POC is marked on section with highest net sell volume, marked with S respectfully. Same logic applies in vice versa, if leading POC is net sell volume, losing POC is marked on highest buy volume section, using the letter B.
Net activity
Similarly to point of control calculation, net activity can be calculated based on either volume types, lots or columns. When calculating net activity based on net volume, candles will be colorized according to magnitude of total volume traded. When calculating net activity based on volume delta, candles will be colorized according to side with most volume traded (buyers or sellers). Net activity color can be applied on borders or body of a candle.
- Visuals
Lots, columns, candles and POCs can be colorized using a fixed color or a volume based dynamic color, with separate color options for buy side volume, sell side volume and net volume.
Metric table can be offsetted horizontally or vertically from any four corners of the chart, allowing space for tables from other scripts.
Table sizes, label sizes and offsets for visuals are fully customizable using settings menu.
- Practical guide
OHLC data (candles) is a simple condensed visualization of an auction market process. Candles show where price was in the beginning of an auction period (timeframe), the highest/lowest point and where price was at the end of an auction. The core utility of Liquidity composition is being able to view the same auction market process in much greater detail, revealing likely intention, effort and magnitude driving the process. All basic orderflow concepts, such as ones presented by auction market theory can be applied to Liquidity composition as well.
The most obvious and easy to spot use case for orderflow tools is identifying trapped traders/absorption, seen in high transaction activity at the very highs/lows of a candle or even better, at wicks. High participation at wicks can be used to identify forced orders absorbed into limit orders, idea behind being that when high transaction activity is placed at a wick, price went one direction with a lot of participation (high effort) and came right back up (low impact) within the same time period.
Absorption can show itself in many ways:
- Extreme buy volume sections at wick highs or buy side POC at wick highs
- Multiple, clustered high buy volume sections (but not extreme) at wick highs
- Positive net volume delta into a reversal down
- Extreme sell volume sections at wick lows or sell side POC at wick lows
- Multiple, clustered high sell volume sections (but not extreme) at wick lows
- Negative net volume delta into a reversal up
- Extreme net volume sections at or net volume POC at wick highs/lows
- Extreme net volume into a reversal up/down
For accurate analysis, orderflow based events should be viewed in the context of price action. To identify absorption, it's best to look for opportunities where an opposing trend is clearly in place, e.g. absorption into highs on an uptrend, absorption into lows on a downtrend. When price is ranging without a clear trend or there's no opposing trend, extreme activity at an extreme end of a candle might be aggressive participants attempting to initiate a new trend, rather than getting absorbed in the same sense. With enough effort put into pushing price to the opposite direction at overextended price, a shift in trend direction might be near.
Price action based levels are a great way to get context around orderflow events. Simple range highs/lows as a single data point serve as a high probability regimes for reversals, making them a great point of confluence for identifying trapped traders.
Low to zero volume sections can be used to identify points in price with little to no trading, leaving a volume null/void behind. Typically sections like these represent gaps on a lower timeframe chart, which can be used as reference levels for targets and support/resistance.
Net volume can be used for same purposes as above, but for determining general intention of market participants it's a much more suitable tool than volume delta. According to auction market theory, low/no participation is considered to reject prices and high participation is considered to accept prices. With this concept in mind, unfinished auctions occur when participation is high at highs or high at lows, idea behind being that participants are showing willingness and interest to trade at higher or lower prices. Auction is considered finished when the opposite is true, i.e. when participants are not showing willingness to trade at higher/lower prices. In general, direction of unfinished auctions can be expected to continue shortly and direction of unfinished auctions can be expected to hold.
While shape of volume delta and net volume are usually similar, they're not the same thing and do not represent the same event under the hood. Volume delta at 0 does not necessarily mean participation is 0, but can also mean high participation with equal amount of buying and selling. With this distinction in mind, using volume delta and net volume in tandem has the benefit of being able to identify points in price with a lot of up and down price movement packed into a small area, i.e. consolidation. Points in price where price hangs around for an extended period of time can be used to identify levels of interest for re-tests and breakout opportunities.
Bitcoin Stalemate IndicatorThe Bitcoin Stalemate Indicator examines periods in the market defined by a combination of high volume and low price volatility. These periods are a bit like a tug-of-war with both sides applying a lot of force but the rope moving very little. Periods of high volume and low volatility suggest both sides of the trade are stuck in a stalemate. This indicator may be useful in identifying psychologically important price levels.
The mechanics of the indicator are fairly simple: the indicator takes the volume and divides it by the candle’s size over it’s close for that same period.
volume / ((high - low) / close)
Candles that move very little but with high volume will produce higher reads and vice versa. Finally a smoothing average is applied to clean up the noise.
Volume profiles from the top 6 exchanges are averaged in order to avoid a single exchange’s popularity acting as an overriding factor. Single exchanges can be isolated but are of lesser use. Heat map functionality is only active when all exchanges are selected.

Multi Time Frame Trend, Volume and Momentum ProfileWHAT DOES THIS INDICATOR DO?
I created this indicator to address some of the significant inconveniences when analyzing a security, such as continually switching between different time frames to determine the trend and potential pullbacks, adding volume or volume-derived indicators, and finally, something that would help me determine the strength of the trend (maybe two additional indicators here). So I decided to code this all-in-one indicator that you can add multiple times to your chart depending on the settings you want to use, or just optimize the parameters for the particular asset and then switch between the options.
As the name suggests, it consists of three main sections - Trend , Volume , and Momentum . You have complete control over the parameters, including the Time Frames you want to use for each one (they can be different). So, let me explain each section in more detail.
HOW DOES THE INDICATOR WORK?
1. Trend Settings
In order to determine the trend, you need to set up two Moving Averages. You have a wide choice here - SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, VWMA, and ALMA. Since the indicator does not plot the moving averages on the chart, I strongly suggest using this indicator along with the free "Trend Indicator for Directional Trading(main)" , which you can find in the Public Library. Once you set up the Trend Resolution, the Types of MAs, and their lengths, the indicator will generate a histogram of their convergences and divergences.
The change in colors should help you more easily determine the trend:
a) Bright Green - bull trend and price trending up (a good place to open long)
b) Dark Green - bull trend and price trending down (stay flat or open a long position with great caution)
c) Bright Red - bear trend and price trending down (a good place to open short)
d) Dark Red - bear trend and price trending up (stay flat or open a short position with great caution)
e) In addition, you can change the color palette to reflect the bull/bear trend momentum by scrolling to the bottom and selecting "Color Based on Bull/Bear Momentum", but I will discuss this in more detail below.
This part of the indicator is useful for opening a trade in the direction of the trend or for spotting a potential divergence. Both cases are illustrated below.
2. Volume Settings
The calculations for this part of the indicator are partially taken from "Multi Time Frame Effective Volume Profile" . I will quickly outline the specifics here, but if you want a more thorough understanding of how it works, please check the description of the MTF Effective Volume Profile indicator .
You have three elements with the following default settings - Resolution (5-min), Lookback (100), and Average (1). This means that the indicator will analyze the last one hundred 5-min bars and will plot a sum of only those that are at least 1 times bigger than the average. Those that are smaller than the average will be left out from the calculation. What you get is a trend line showing you accumulation/distribution based on modified volume parameters.
This part of the indicator is useful for spotting exhaustions and increased buying/selling volume that is opposite to the price trend. As you will see in the picture below, in frame 1 the selling pressure is decreasing, while buying volume is increasing. At one point supply dries out and the bulls take control, thus reverting the price. In frame 2, however, you can see that the higher high is not met with nearly as much buying volume as in the previous peak, showing that the bulls are exhausted and maybe a trend change will follow or at the very least that the bull trend will take a break.
3. Momentum Settings
The final part is an RSI smoothed through a Moving Average with the addition of some minor optimizations. Thus, the parameters you have to configure here aside from the resolution are the RSI length, the moving average that will be used, and its length. Out of the three, this is the most lagging component, but it's also the most accurate one. I must mention that due to the modified nature of this RSI, overbought and oversold levels carry less weight to the trading signals. Rather, pay attention to the change of colors, as they do so when the RSI changes direction based on preset parameters. The picture below shows such instances.
4. Additional Settings
This section consists of 4 elements:
a) Length of Trend - filters out the noise and gives a signal only when the trend becomes more established
b) ADX Threshold - filters out trading ranges and indecision zones when it's not recommended to open a trade
c) Select Analysis - choose what part of the indicator you want to see from a drop-down menu
d) Color Based on Bull/Bear Momentum - a global setting that will override the preset coloring of each indicator and will replace it with colors based on bull/bear strength and momentum - green for bulls, red for bears, and gray for non-trading zones.
The last part of this indicator is a combination of all of the above and is called a Points-Based System . It generates 3 rows of dots that go light green when bull criteria are met, orange when bear criteria are met, or gray when it's neither of the two. When you get a column of 3 green dots you get a buy signal. Similarly, a column of 3 orange dots gives you a sell signal. Grey zones are non-tradeable. It goes without saying that the frequency and quality of the signals you get will almost entirely depend on your settings, so feel free to experiment and adjust the indicator to catch the best moves for the given security.
In terms of indicator adjustments, I have left almost every part open to configuration. That is 15 parameters and 35 adjustable colors.
HOW MUCH DOES THE INDICATOR COST ?
As much as I would like to offer it for free (as some of my other ones), a great deal of work, trading logic, and testing have gone into creating this indicator. More than a few hundred iterations and a few dozen branches were required to reach the end result which is a precise combination of usefulness, simplicity, and practicality. Furthermore, this indicator will continue to be updated and user-requested features that improve its performance will be added.
Disclaimer: The purpose of all indicators is to indicate potential setups, which may lead to profitable results. No indicator is perfect and certainly, no indicator has a 100% success rate. They are subject to flaws, wrongful interpretation, bugs, etc. This indicator makes no exception. It must be used with a sound money management plan that puts the main emphasis on protecting your capital. Please, do not rely solely on any single indicator to make trading decisions instead of you. Indicators are storytellers, not fortune tellers. They help you see the bigger picture, not the future.

VPoC per barThis study prints the current bar VPoC as an horizontal line.
It's aimed originally at BTCUSDT pair and 15m timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS
Zoom In mode: This is the default mode.
The study zooms in into the latest 15 1-minute bar candles in order to calculate the 15 minute candle VPoC.
Zoom Out mode: The VPoC from the last n bars from the current timeframe that match desired timeframe is shown on each bar.
In either case you are recommended to click on the '...' button associated to this study
and select 'Visual Order. Bring to Front.' so that it's properly shown in your chart.
HOW IT WORKS - Zoom In mode
Make sure that '(VP) Zoom into the VP timeframe' setting is set to true.
Choose the zoomed in timeframe where to calculate VPoC from thanks to the '(VP) Zoomed timeframe {1 minute}' setting.
Change '(VP) Zoomed in timeframe bars per current timeframe bar {15}' to its appropiated value. You just need to divide the current timeframe minutes per the zoomed in timeframe minutes per bar. E.g. If you are in 60 minute timeframe and you want to zoom in into 5 minute timeframe: 60 / 5 = 12 . You will write 12 here.
HOW IT WORKS - Zoom Out mode
Make sure that '(VP) Zoom into the VP timeframe' setting is set to false.
If you are using the Zoom out mode you might want to set '(VP) Print VPoC price as discrete lines {True}' to false.
Either choose the zoommed out timeframe where to calculate VPoC from thanks to the '(VP) Zoomed timeframe {1 minute}' setting or turn on the '(VP) Use number of bars (not VP timeframe)' setting in order to use '(VP) Number of bars {100}' as a custom number of bars.
WARNING - Zoom In mode last bar
The way that PineScript handles security function in last bar might result on the last bar not being accurate enough.
SETTINGS
__ SETTINGS - Volume Profile

Bar Balance [LucF]Bar Balance extracts the number of up, down and neutral intrabars contained in each chart bar, revealing information on the strength of price movement. It can display stacked columns representing raw up/down/neutral intrabar counts, or an up/down balance line which can be calculated and visualized in many different ways.
WARNING: This is an analysis tool that works on historical bars only. It does not show any realtime information, and thus cannot be used to issue alerts or for automated trading. When realtime bars elapse, the indicator will require a browser refresh, a change to its Inputs or to the chart's timeframe/symbol to recalculate and display information on those elapsed bars. Once a trader understands this, the indicator can be used advantageously to make discretionary trading decisions.
Traders used to work with my Delta Volume Columns Pro will feel right at home in this indicator's Inputs . It has lots of options, allowing it to be used in many different ways. If you value the bar balance information this indicator mines, I hope you will find the time required to master the use of Bar Balance well worth the investment.
█ OVERVIEW
The indicator has two modes: Columns and Line .
Columns
• In Columns mode you can display stacked Up/Down/Neutral columns.
• The "Up" section represents the count of intrabars where `close > open`, "Down" where `close < open` and "Neutral" where `close = open`.
• The Up section always appears above the centerline, the Down section below. The Neutral section overlaps the centerline, split halfway above and below it.
The Up and Down sections start where the Neutral section ends, when there is one.
• The Up and Down sections can be colored independently using 7 different methods.
• The signal line plotted in Line mode can also be displayed in Columns mode.
Line
• Displays a single balance line using a zero centerline.
• A variable number of independent methods can be used to calculate the line (6), determine its color (5), and color the fill (5).
You can thus evaluate the state of 3 different components with this single line.
• A "Divergence Levels" feature will use the line to automatically draw expanding levels on divergence events.
Features available in both modes
• The color of all components can be selected from 15 base colors, with 16 gradient levels used for each base color in the indicator's gradients.
• A zero line can show a 6-state aggregate value of the three main volume balance modes.
• The background can be colored using any of 5 different methods.
• Chart bars can be colored using 5 different methods.
• Divergence and large neutral count ratio events can be shown in either Columns or Line mode, calculated in one of 4 different methods.
• Markers on 6 different conditions can be displayed.
█ CONCEPTS
Intrabar inspection
Intrabar inspection means the indicator looks at lower timeframe bars ( intrabars ) making up a given chart bar to gather its information. If your chart is on a 1-hour timeframe and the intrabar resolution determined by the indicator is 5 minutes, then 12 intrabars will be analyzed for each chart bar and the count of up/down/neutral intrabars among those will be tallied.
Bar Balances and calculation methods
The indicator uses a variety of methods to evaluate bar balance and to derive other calculations from them:
1. Balance on Bar : Uses the relative importance of instant Up and Down counts on the bar.
2. Balance Averages : Uses the difference between the EMAs of Up and Down counts.
3. Balance Momentum : Starts by calculating, separately for both Up and Down counts, the difference between the same EMAs used in Balance Averages and an SMA of double the period used for the EMAs. These differences are then aggregated and finally, a bounded momentum of that aggregate is calculated using RSI.
4. Markers Bias : It sums the bull/bear occurrences of the four previous markers over a user-defined period (the default is 14).
5. Combined Balances : This is the aggregate of the instant bull/bear bias of the three main bar balances.
6. Dual Up/Down Averages : This is a display mode showing the EMA calculated for each of the Up and Down counts.
Interpretation of neutral intrabars
What do neutral intrabars mean? When price does not change during a bar, it can be because there is simply no interest in the market, or because of a perfect balance between buyers and sellers. The latter being more improbable, Bar Balance assumes that neutral bars reveal a lack of interest, which entails uncertainty. That is the reason why the option is provided to interpret ratios of neutral intrabars greater than 50% as divergences. It is also the rationale behind the option to dampen signal lines on the inverse ratio of neutral intrabars, so that zero intrabars do not affect the signal, and progressively larger proportions of neutral intrabars will reduce the signal's amplitude, as the balance calcs using the up/down counts lose significance. The impact of the dampening will vary with markets. Weaker markets such as cryptos will often contain greater numbers of neutral intrabars, so dampening the Line in that sector will have a greater impact than in more liquid markets.
█ FEATURES
1 — Columns
• While the size of the Up/Down columns always represents their respective importance on the bar, their coloring mode is independent. The default setup uses a standard coloring mode where the Up/Down columns over/under the zero line are always in the bull/bear color with a higher intensity for the winning side. Six other coloring modes allow you to pack more information in the columns. When choosing to color the top columns using a bull/bear gradient on Balance Averages, for example, you will end up with bull/bear colored tops. In order for the color of the bottom columns to continue to show the instant bar balance, you can then choose the "Up/Down Ratio on Bar — Dual Solid Colors" coloring mode to make those bars the color of the winning side for that bar.
• Line mode shows only the line, but Columns mode allows displaying the line along with it. If the scale of the line is different than that of the scale of the columns, the line will often appear flat. Traders may find even a flat line useful as its bull/bear colors will be easily distinguishable.
2 — Line
• The default setup for Line mode uses a calculation on "Balance Momentum", with a fill on the longer-term "Balance Averages" and a line color based on the "Markers Bias". With the background set on "Line vs Divergence Levels" and the zero line on the hard-coded "Combined Bar Balances", you have access to five distinct sources of information at a glance, to which you can add divergences, divergences levels and chart bar coloring. This provides powerful potential in displaying bar balance information.
• When no columns are displayed, Line mode can show the full scale of whichever line you choose to calculate because the columns' scale no longer interferes with the line's scale.
• Note that when "Balance on Bar" is selected, the Neutral count is also displayed as a ratio of the balance line. This is the only instance where the Neutral count is displayed in Line mode.
• The "Dual Up/Down Averages" is an exception as it displays two lines: one average for the Up counts and another for the Down counts. This mode will be most useful when Columns are also displayed, as it provides a reference for the top and bottom columns.
3 — Zero Line
The zero line can be colored using two methods, both based on the Combined Balances, i.e., the aggregate of the instant bull/bear bias of the three main bar balances.
• In "Six-state Dual Color Gradient" mode, a dot appears on every bar. Its color reflects the bull/bear state of the Combined Balances, and the dot's brightness reflects the tally of balance biases.
• In "Dual Solid Colors (All Bull/All Bear Only)" a dot only appears when all three balances are either bullish or bearish. The resulting pattern is identical to that of Marker 1.
4 — Divergences
• Divergences are displayed as a small circle at the top of the scale. Four different types of divergence events can be detected. Divergences occur whenever the bull/bear bias of the method used diverges with the bar's price direction.
• An option allows you to include in divergence events instances where the count of neutral intrabars exceeds 50% of the total intrabar count.
• The divergence levels are dynamic levels that automatically build from the line's values on divergence events. On consecutive divergences, the levels will expand, creating a channel. This implementation of the divergence levels corresponds to my view that divergences indicate anomalies, hesitations, points of uncertainty if you will. It excludes any association of a pre-determined bullish/bearish bias to divergences. Accordingly, the levels merely take note of divergence events and mark those points in time with levels. Traders then have a reference point from which they can evaluate further movement. The bull/bear/neutral colors used to plot the levels are also congruent with this view in that they are determined by price's position relative to the levels, which is how I think divergences can be put to the most effective use.
5 — Background
• The background can show a bull/bear gradient on four different calculations. You can adjust its brightness to make its visual importance proportional to how you use it in your analysis.
6 — Chart bars
• Chart bars can be colored using five different methods.
• You have the option of emptying the body of bars where volume does not increase, as does my TLD indicator, the idea behind this being that movement on bars where volume does not increase is less relevant.
7 — Intrabar Resolution
You can choose between three modes. Two of them are automatic and one is manual:
a) Fast, Longer history, Auto-Steps (~12 intrabars) : Optimized for speed and deeper history. Uses an average minimum of 12 intrabars.
b) More Precise, Shorter History Auto-Steps (~24 intrabars) : Uses finer intrabar resolution. It is slower and provides less history. Uses an average minimum of 24 intrabars.
c) Fixed : Uses the fixed resolution of your choice.
Auto-Steps calculations vary for 24/7 and conventional markets in order to achieve the proper target of minimum intrabars.
You can choose to view the intrabar resolution currently used to calculate delta volume. It is the default.
The proper selection of the intrabar resolution is important. It must achieve maximal granularity to produce precise results while not unduly slowing down calculations, or worse, causing runtime errors.
8 — Markers
Six markers are available:
1. Combined Balances Agreement : All three Bar Balances are either bullish or bearish.
2. Up or Down % Agrees With Bar : An up marker will appear when the percentage of up intrabars in an up chart bar is greater than the specified percentage. Conditions mirror to down bars.
3. Divergence confirmations By Price : One of the four types of balance calculations can be used to detect divergences with price. Confirmations occur when the bar following the divergence confirms the balance bias. Note that the divergence events used here do not include neutral intrabar events.
4. Balance Transitions : Bull/bear transitions of the selected balance.
5. Markers Bias Transitions : Bull/bear transitions of the Markers Bias.
6. Divergence Confirmations By Line : Marks points where the line first breaches a divergence level.
Markers appear when the condition is detected, without delay. Since nothing is plotted in realtime, markers do not appear on the realtime bar.
9 — Settings
• Two modes can be selected to dampen the line on the ratio of neutral intrabars.
• A distinct weight can be attributed to the count of the latter half of intrabars, on the assumption that later intrabars may be more important in determining the outcome of chart bars.
• Allows control over the periods of the different moving averages used in calculations.
• The default periods used for the various calculations define the following hierarchy from slow to fast:
Balance Averages: 50,
Balance Momentum: 20,
Dual Up/Down Averages: 20,
Marker Bias: 10.
█ LIMITATIONS
• This script uses a special characteristic of the `security()` function allowing the inspection of intrabars—which is not officially supported by TradingView.
• The method used does not work on the realtime bar—only on historical bars.
• The indicator only works on some chart resolutions: 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions, but chart resolutions must be divisible by the lower resolution used for intrabars and the stepping mechanism could require adaptation.
• When using the "Line vs Divergence Levels — Dual Color Gradient" color mode to fill the line, background or chart bars, keep in mind that a line calculation mode must be defined for it to work, as it determines gradients on the movement of the line relative to divergence levels. If the line is hidden, it will not work.
• When the difference between the chart’s resolution and the intrabar resolution is too great, runtime errors will occur. The Auto-Steps selection mechanisms should avoid this.
• Alerts do not work reliably when `security()` is used at intrabar resolutions. Accordingly, no alerts are configured in the indicator.
• The color model used in the indicator provides for fancy visuals that come at a price; when you change values in Inputs , it can take 20 seconds for the changes to materialize. Luckily, once your color setup is complete, the color model does not have a large performance impact, as in normal operation the `security()` calls will become the most important factor in determining response time. Also, once in a while a runtime error will occur when you change inputs. Just making another change will usually bring the indicator back up.
█ RAMBLINGS
Is this thing useful?
I'll let you decide. Bar Balance acts somewhat like an X-Ray on bars. The intrabars it analyzes are no secret; one can simply change the chart's resolution to see the same intrabars the indicator uses. What the indicator brings to traders is the precise count of up/down/neutral intrabars and, more importantly, the calculations it derives from them to present the information in a way that can make it easier to use in trading decisions.
How reliable is Bar Balance information?
By the same token that an up bar does not guarantee that more up bars will follow, future price movements cannot be inferred from the mere count of up/down/neutral intrabars. Price movement during any chart bar for which, let's say, 12 intrabars are analyzed, could be due to only one of those intrabars. One can thus easily see how only relying on bar balance information could be very misleading. The rationale behind Bar Balance is that when the information mined for multiple chart bars is aggregated, it can provide insight into the history behind chart bars, and thus some bias as to the strength of movements. An up chart bar where 11/12 intrabars are also up is assumed to be stronger than the same up bar where only 2/12 intrabars are up. This logic is not bulletproof, and sometimes Bar Balance will stray. Also, keep in mind that balance lines do not represent price momentum as RSI would. Bar Balance calculations have no idea where price is. Their perspective, like that of any historian, is very limited, constrained that it is to the narrow universe of up/down/neutral intrabar counts. You will thus see instances where price is moving up while Balance Momentum, for example, is moving down. When Bar Balance performs as intended, this indicates that the rally is weakening, which does necessarily imply that price will reverse. Occasionally, price will merrily continue to advance on weakening strength.
Divergences
Most of the divergence detection methods used here rely on a difference between the bias of a calculation involving a multi-bar average and a given bar's price direction. When using "Bar Balance on Bar" however, only the bar's balance and price movement are used. This is the default mode.
As usual, divergences are points of interest because they reveal imbalances, which may or may not become turning points. I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm traders have for the purported ability of bullish/bearish divergences to indicate imminent reversals.
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . Bar Balance can display lots of information. While learning to use a new indicator inevitably requires an adaptation period where we put it through its paces and try out all its options, once you have become used to Bar Balance and decide to adopt it, rigorously eliminate the components you don't use and configure the remaining ones so their visual prominence reflects their relative importance in your analysis. I tried to provide flexible options for traders to control this indicator's visuals for that exact reason—not for window dressing.
█ NOTES
For traders
• To avoid misleading traders who don't read script descriptions, the indicator shows nothing in the realtime bar.
• The Data Window shows key values for the indicator.
• All gradients used in this indicator determine their brightness intensities using advances/declines in the signal—not their relative position in a fixed scale.
• Note that because of the way gradients are optimized internally, changing their brightness will sometimes require bringing down the value a few steps before you see an impact.
• Because this indicator does not use volume, it will work on all markets.
For coders
• For those interested in gradients, this script uses an advanced version of the Advance/Decline gradient function from the PineCoders Color Gradient (16 colors) Framework . It allows more precise control over the range, steps and min/max values of the gradients.
• I use the PineCoders Coding Conventions for Pine to write my scripts.
• I used functions modified from the PineCoders MTF Selection Framework for the selection of timeframes.

Volume Squeeze Momentum by HypesterTradingview is basically composed by reskins of many great contributors such as Chrismood, Lazybear, RicardoSandos and a few others. Without those guys I would not be able to learn how to code PINE - since the "documentation" is horrible and support is basically also non-existent. So thank you!
So here is another contribution to the community, which I chose to not disclose the code since the community usually reskin the code and do not give credit and this code is 100% mine.
I believe that the volume tools available are poor and lagging so here is my contribution.
I use this tool to filter noise and eliminate fake reversal signals, momentum readings and trend changes on my Spectro M. Use at your own risk.
I've added some pre-set volume profiles and trend configs. Also, the bar colors for ease of use, and all of that can be easily turned on/off and changed in the config menu.

Multi-Exchange Liquidation Map [Composite]Multi-Exchange Liquidation Heatmap
Institutional-Grade Liquidity Mapping (Pine Script v6)
🔵 Overview
The Multi-Exchange Liquidation Heatmap is a sophisticated visualization tool designed to reveal "Price Magnets" and "Max Pain" levels where high-leverage traders are forcibly liquidated. Unlike traditional volume profiles that only show past trades, this indicator projects future risk zones based on exchange margin-call mathematics.
By aggregating real-time data from Binance, Bybit, BitMEX, Coinbase, and Bitfinex, it provides a "composite" view of the market. This allows you to spot liquidity clusters that are invisible if you only monitor a single exchange.
⚙️ How It Works: The Logic
The script operates on a deterministic mathematical model rather than a heuristic/estimated one:
Pivot Detection: It identifies significant Swing Highs and Swing Lows (Pivots) across all enabled exchanges.
Margin Mathematics: For every pivot, it calculates exact liquidation prices for 100x, 50x, and 25x leverage tiers using the standard exchange formulas:
*
Long Liquidation: Pliq=Pentry×(1−L1)
Short Liquidation: Pliq=Pentry×(1+L1)
*
Composite Aggregation: Because a "wick" might be deeper on Bybit than on Binance , the script marks both levels. This creates a more accurate and denser "Liquidity Wall."
Heatmap Visuals (Alpha Blending): Each zone is drawn with 95% transparency. When levels from different exchanges or different leverage tiers overlap at the same price, the color intensifies (darkens). These "hot zones" represent high-probability reversal or acceleration points.
Dynamic Sweeping: To keep your chart clean, the script automatically deletes a box once the market price "sweeps" through it. This ensures you only see untaken liquidity.
🛠️ How to Setup & Configure
1. Multi-Exchange Input
In the settings, you can toggle specific data feeds:
Binance & Bybit: Pre-configured for Perpetual contracts (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDTPERP).
BitMEX: Captures "Starved Whales" and older market participants.
Coinbase (Spot): While Spot has no liquidations, traders use Coinbase Swing points for Stop-Losses. Zoned at 25x to represent "Hedging Support."
Custom / Hyperliquid Proxy: Since Hyperliquid isn't native to TV yet, use this field to input a custom ticker (e.g., OKX:BTCUSDTPERP or BYBIT:HYPEUSDT.P).
2. Filtering & Sensitivity
Volume Filter Multiplier: Only pivots with a volume spike (e.g., 1.5x the 50-SMA) generate zones. This filters out retail "noise" and focuses on institutional entries.
Pivot Lookback: Set how many candles are required to confirm a swing. A value of 5 is ideal for intraday trading.
📈 Trading Strategy: Liquidations vs. Volatility
How to Trade:
The Magnet Effect: Price is attracted to dense "Heatmap" clusters. Use these zones as Take-Profit targets.
The Exhaustion Signal: When price slams into a 50x or 100x liquidation zone and then pulls back, it is a high-confidence signal that the "fuel" for the move has been exhausted.
The Cascade: If 100x liquidations trigger a move into 50x levels, expect a rapid "cascade" or "flash wick."
⚠️ Technical Performance
This script is built on Pine Script v6, utilizing User-Defined Types (UDT) and Matrix-based Garbage Collection for maximum efficiency.
Request Limit: TradingView limits scripts to 40 request.security calls. This script uses approximately 10-15 calls, leaving you plenty of headroom for other indicators.
Resolution: For the best results, use the 5m, 15m, or 1h timeframes.
Disclaimer: Liquidation levels are theoretical proxies based on common leverage settings. This tool should be used as confluence for price action and market structure analysis.
Scalp Precision Matrix [BullByte]SCALP PRECISION MATRIX (SPM)
OVERVIEW
Scalp Precision Matrix (SPM) is a comprehensive decision-support framework designed specifically for scalpers and short-term traders. This indicator synthesizes five distinct analytical layers into a unified system that helps identify high-quality setups while avoiding common pitfalls that trap traders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE CORE PROBLEM THIS INDICATOR ADDRESSES
Scalping demands rapid decision-making while simultaneously processing multiple data points. Traders constantly ask themselves: Is momentum still alive? Am I entering near a potential reversal zone? Is this the right session to trade? What is my actual risk-to-reward? Most traders either overwhelm themselves with too many separate indicators (creating analysis paralysis) or use too few (missing crucial context).
SPM was developed to consolidate these essential checks into one cohesive framework. Rather than overlaying disconnected indicators, each component in SPM directly informs and adjusts the others, creating an integrated analytical system.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY THESE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER
The five analytical layers in SPM are not arbitrarily combined. Each addresses a specific question in the scalping decision process, and together they form a logical workflow:
LAYER 1: MOMENTUM FUEL GAUGE
This answers the question: "Does the current move still have energy?"
After any impulse move (a significant directional price movement), momentum naturally decays over time. The Fuel Gauge estimates remaining momentum by analyzing four factors:
Body Strength (30% weight): Compares recent candle body sizes against the historical average. Strong momentum produces candles with large bodies relative to their wicks. The calculation takes the 3-bar average body size divided by the 20-bar average body size, then scales it to a 0-100 range.
Wick Rejection (25% weight): Measures the wick-to-body ratio. When wicks are large relative to bodies, it suggests rejection and weakening momentum. A ratio of 2.0 or higher (wicks twice the body size) scores low; smaller ratios score higher.
Volume Consistency (20% weight): Compares recent 3-bar average volume against the lookback period average. Sustained moves require consistent volume support. Volume dropping off suggests the move may be losing participation.
Time Decay (25% weight): Tracks how many bars have passed since the last detected impulse. Momentum naturally fades over time. The typical impulse duration is adjusted based on the current volatility regime.
These components are weighted and combined, then smoothed with a 3-period EMA to reduce noise. The result is a 0-100% gauge where:
- Above 70% = Strong momentum (green)
- 40-70% = Moderate momentum (amber)
- Below 40% = Weak momentum (red)
- Below 20% = Exhausted (triggers EXIT warning)
The Fuel Gauge also estimates how many bars of momentum remain based on the current burn rate.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER : The Fuel Gauge is NOT order flow, volume profile, or depth of market data. It is a technical proxy calculated entirely from standard OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data. The term "Fuel" is used metaphorically to represent estimated remaining momentum energy.
LAYER 2: TRAP ZONE DETECTION
This answers the question: "Am I walking into a potential reversal area?"
Price tends to reverse at levels where it has reversed before. SPM identifies these zones by detecting clusters of historical swing points:
How it works:
1. The indicator detects swing highs and swing lows using the Swing Detection Length setting (default 5 bars on each side required to confirm a pivot).
2. Recent swing points are stored (up to 10 of each type).
3. For each potential zone, the algorithm counts how many swing points cluster within a tolerance of 0.5 ATR.
4. Zones with 2 or more clustered swing points, positioned between 0.3 and 4.0 ATR from current price, are marked as Trap Zones.
5. A Confluence Score is calculated based on cluster density and proximity to current price.
The percentage displayed (e.g., "TRAP 85%") is a CONFLUENCE SCORE, not a probability. Higher percentages mean more swing points cluster at that level and price is closer to it. This indicates stronger historical significance, not a prediction of future reversal.
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER : Trap Zones are NOT institutional order flow, liquidity pools, smart money footprints, or any proprietary data feed. They are calculated purely from historical swing point clustering using standard technical analysis. The term "trap" describes how price action has historically reversed at these levels, potentially trapping traders who enter prematurely. This is pattern recognition, not market structure data.
LAYER 3: VELOCITY ANALYSIS
This answers the question: "Is price moving favorably right now?"
Velocity measures how fast price is currently moving compared to its recent average:
Calculation:
- Current velocity = Absolute price change from previous bar divided by ATR
- Average velocity = Simple moving average of velocity over the lookback period
- Velocity ratio = Current velocity divided by average velocity
Classification:
- FAST (ratio above 1.5 ): Price is moving significantly faster than normal. Good for momentum continuation plays.
- NORMAL (ratio 0.5 to 1.5) : Typical price movement speed.
- SLOW (ratio below 0.5 ): Price is moving sluggishly. Often indicates ranging or choppy conditions where scalping becomes difficult.
The velocity score contributes 18% to the overall quality score calculation.
LAYER 4: SESSION AWARENESS
This answers the question: "Is this a good time to trade?"
Different trading sessions have different characteristics. SPM automatically detects which major session is active and adjusts its quality assessment:
Session Times (all in UTC):
- A sia Session : 00:00 - 08:00 UTC
- London Session : 08:00 - 16:00 UTC
- New York Session : 13:00 - 21:00 UTC
- London/NY Overlap : 13:00 - 16:00 UTC
- Off-Peak : Outside major sessions
Session Quality Weighting:
- Overlap : 100 points (highest liquidity, best movement)
- London : 85 points
- New York : 80 points
- Asia : 50 points (tends to range more)
- Off-Peak : 30 points (lower liquidity, more false signals)
The session score contributes 17% to the overall quality calculation. Signals are also filtered to prevent firing during off-peak hours.
Note : These are fixed UTC times and may not perfectly match your broker's session boundaries. Use them as general guidance rather than precise timing.
LAYER 5: VOLATILITY REGIME ADAPTATION
This answers the question: "How should I adjust for current market conditions?"
SPM compares current volatility (14-period ATR) against historical volatility (50-period ATR) to categorize the market:
HIGH Volatility (ratio above 1.3): Current ATR is 30%+ above normal. SPM widens thresholds to filter noise and extends target projections.
NORMAL Volatility (ratio 0.7 to 1.3): Typical conditions. Standard parameters apply.
LOW Volatility (ratio below 0.7): Current ATR is 30%+ below normal. SPM tightens thresholds for sensitivity and reduces target expectations. The market state may show AVOID during prolonged low volatility.
This adaptation prevents false signals during erratic markets and missed signals during quiet markets.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE SYNERGY: WHY THIS COMBINATION MATTERS
These five layers are not independent indicators placed on one chart. They form an interconnected system:
- A signal only fires when momentum exists (Fuel above 40%), price is away from danger zones (Trap Zones factored into quality score), movement is favorable (Velocity contributes to score), timing is appropriate (Session is not off-peak), and volatility is accounted for (thresholds adapt to regime).
- The Trap Zones directly influence Entry Zone placement. Entry zones are positioned beyond trap zones to avoid getting caught in reversals.
- Target projections automatically adjust to avoid placing take-profit levels inside detected trap zones.
- The Fuel Gauge affects which signal tier fires. Insufficient fuel prevents all signals.
- Session quality is weighted into the overall score, reducing signal quality during less favorable trading hours.
This integration is the core originality of SPM. Each component makes the others more useful than they would be in isolation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW THE QUALITY SCORE IS CALCULATED
The Quality Score (0-100) synthesizes all layers into a single number for each direction (long and short):
For Long Quality Score:
- Fuel Component (28% weight) : Full fuel value if impulse direction is bullish; 60% of fuel value otherwise
- Trap Avoidance (22% weight) : 75 points if no trap zone below; otherwise 100 minus the trap confluence score (minimum 20)
- Velocity Component (18% weight) : Direct velocity score
- Session Component (17% weight) : Current session quality score
- Trend Alignment (15% bonus) : Adds 12 points if price is above the 20-period SMA
For Short Quality Score:
- Same structure but reversed (bearish impulse direction, trap zone above, price below SMA)
The direction with the higher score becomes the current Bias. A 12-point difference is required to switch bias, preventing flip-flopping in neutral conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL TYPES AND WHAT THEY MEAN
SPM generates four types of signals, each with specific visual representation:
PRIME SIGNALS (Cyan Diamond)
These represent the highest quality confluence. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Prime threshold (default 80)
- Bias aligns with signal direction
- Fuel is sufficient (above 40%)
- Session is active (not off-peak)
- Cooldown period has passed
Prime signals appear as cyan-colored diamond shapes. Long signals appear below the bar; short signals appear above.
STANDARD SIGNALS (Green Triangle Up / Red Triangle Down)
These represent good quality setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Standard threshold (default 75) but below Prime
- Same bias, fuel, and cooldown requirements as Prime
Standard signals appear as small triangles in green (long) or red (short).
CAUTION SIGNALS (Small Faded Circle)
These represent minimum threshold setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Caution threshold (default 65) but below Standard
- Same additional requirements
Caution signals appear as small, faded circles. These suggest the setup exists but with weaker confluence. Consider these only when broader market context supports them, or skip them entirely during uncertain conditions.
EXHAUSTION SIGNAL (Purple X with "EXIT" text)
This warning appears when the Fuel Gauge drops below 20% from above, indicating momentum has depleted. This is not a trade signal but a warning to:
- Consider exiting existing positions
- Avoid entering new trades in the current direction
- Wait for new momentum to develop
All signals use CONFIRMED bar data only (referencing the previous closed bar) to prevent repainting. Once a signal appears, it will never disappear or change position on historical bars.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
READING THE CHART ELEMENTS
TRAP ZONES (Red Dashed Box with "TRAP XX%" Label)
These mark price levels where multiple historical swing points cluster. The red dashed box shows the zone boundaries. The percentage is the confluence score indicating cluster strength and proximity.
How to use: When price approaches a trap zone, be cautious about entering in that direction. If your bias is LONG and there's a strong trap zone above, consider taking partial profits before price reaches it or adjusting your target below it.
ENTRY ZONES (Green Solid Box with "ENTRY" Label)
These show suggested entry areas based on the current bias direction. For LONG bias, the entry zone appears below the trap zone (buying the dip beyond support). For SHORT bias, it appears above the trap zone (selling the rally beyond resistance).
How to use: Rather than entering at current price, consider placing limit orders within the entry zone. This positions you beyond where typical trap reversals occur.
TARGET ZONES (Blue Dotted Box with "TARGET" Label)
These project potential take-profit areas based on ATR multiples, adjusted for:
- Current volatility regime (wider in high volatility, tighter in low)
- Impulse direction (larger targets when aligned with impulse)
- Nearby trap zones (targets adjust to avoid placing TP inside trap zones)
How to use: These are suggestions, not guarantees. Consider taking partial profits before the target or using trailing stops once price moves favorably.
STOP LEVEL (Orange Dashed Line with "STOP" Label)
This shows suggested stop-loss placement, calculated as 0.8 ATR beyond the trap zone (or 2.0 ATR from current price if no trap zone exists).
How to use: This provides a reference for risk calculation. The dashboard R:R ratio is calculated using this stop level.
Chart Example: Scalp Precision Matrix displays real-time market analysis through dynamic zones and quality scores. ENTRY/TARGET/STOP zones show potential price levels based on current market structure - they appear continuously as reference points, NOT as trade instructions. Actual trade signals (diamonds, triangles, circles) fire only when multiple conditions align: quality score thresholds are crossed, fuel gauge is sufficient, session is active, and cooldown period has passed. The zones help you understand market context; the signals tell you when to act.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS EXPLAINED
CORE SETTINGS:
Analysis Lookback (Default: 20)
Number of bars used for statistical calculations including average volume and average body size. Higher values create smoother but slower-reacting analysis. Lower values are more responsive but may include more noise.
Swing Detection Length (Default: 5)
Bars required on each side to confirm a swing high or low. A setting of 5 means a swing high must have 5 lower highs on each side. Lower values detect more swings (more trap zones, more sensitivity). Higher values find only major pivots (fewer but more significant zones).
Impulse Sensitivity (Default: 1.5)
Multiplier for ATR when detecting impulse moves. Lower values (like 1.0) detect smaller price movements as impulses, refreshing the fuel gauge more frequently. Higher values (like 2.5) require larger moves, making impulse detection less frequent but more significant.
SIGNAL SETTINGS:
Prime/Standard/Caution Thresholds (Defaults: 80/75/65)
These control the quality score required for each signal tier. You can adjust these based on your preference:
- More conservative : Raise thresholds (e.g., 85/80/70) for fewer but higher-quality signals
- More aggressive : Lower thresholds (e.g., 75/70/60) for more signals with slightly lower quality
Signal Cooldown (Default: 8 bars)
Minimum bars between signals to prevent signal spam. After any signal fires, no new signals can appear until this many bars pass. Increase for fewer signals in choppy markets; decrease if you want faster signal refresh.
Show Prime/Standard/Caution/Exhaustion Signals
Toggle each signal type on or off based on your preference.
ZONE DISPLAY:
Show Trap Zones / Entry Zones / Target Zones / Stop Levels
Toggle each zone type on or off. Turning off zones you don't use reduces chart clutter.
Zone Transparency (Default: 88)
Controls how transparent zone boxes appear. Higher values (closer to 95) make zones barely visible; lower values (closer to 75) make them more prominent.
Zone History (Default: 25 bars)
How far back zone boxes extend on the chart. Purely visual preference.
BACKGROUND:
Background Mode (Options: Off, Subtle, Normal)
Controls whether and how intensely the chart background is colored. Subtle is barely noticeable; Normal is more visible; Off disables background coloring entirely.
Background Type (Options: Bias, Fuel)
- Bias : Colors background based on current directional lean (green for long, red for short)
- Fuel : Colors background based on momentum level (green for high fuel, amber for moderate, red for low)
DASHBOARD / QUICK PANEL:
Show Dashboard / Show Quick Panel
Toggle each panel on or off.
Compact Mode
When enabled, the main dashboard shows only essential rows (quality bars, bias, R:R, fuel, session) without entry/stop/target levels, volatility, velocity, or time remaining.
Position Settings
Choose where each panel appears on your chart from six options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Middle Right, Middle Left.
ALERTS:
Alert Prime Signals / Standard Signals / Fuel Exhaustion
Enable or disable TradingView alerts for each condition. When enabled, you can set up alerts in TradingView that will notify you when these conditions occur.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND USAGE
OPTIMAL TIMEFRAMES:
- 1-minute to 5-minute : Best for active scalping with quick entries and exits
- 5-minute to 15-minute : Balanced scalping with slightly more confirmation
- 15-minute to 1-hour : Short-term swing entries, fewer but more significant signals
Zone visualizations only appear on intraday timeframes to prevent chart clutter on higher timeframes.
BEST PRACTICES:
1. Trade primarily during LONDON, NEW YORK, or OVERLAP sessions. The indicator weights these sessions higher for good reason - liquidity and movement are typically better.
2. Prioritize PRIME signals. These represent the highest confluence and have proven most reliable. Use STANDARD signals as secondary opportunities. Treat CAUTION signals with extra scrutiny.
3. Respect the Fuel Gauge. Avoid entering new positions when fuel is below 40%. When the EXIT signal appears, seriously consider closing or reducing positions.
4. Pay attention to TRAP warnings. When the dashboard shows a trap zone in your bias direction, be cautious about holding through that level.
5. Verify R:R before entry. The dashboard shows the risk-to-reward ratio. Ensure it meets your minimum requirements (many traders require at least 1.5:1 or 2:1).
6. When state shows AVOID or EXIT, step back. These conditions typically produce poor results.
7. Combine with your own analysis. SPM is a decision-support tool, not a standalone system. Use it alongside your understanding of market structure, news events, and overall context.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Scenario : You're watching a 5-minute chart during London session. A cyan diamond (Prime Long signal) appears below the bar.
Before entering, you check the dashboard:
- State shows "PRIME" - conditions are favorable
- Fuel shows "72% (8)" - plenty of momentum remaining (approximately 8 bars)
- R:R shows "1:2.3" - acceptable risk-to-reward ratio
- Session shows "LONDON" - active session with good liquidity
- No TRAP warning in dashboard - no immediate resistance cluster in your way
- Entry zone visible on chart at a lower price level
- Stop and Target zones clearly marked
With this confluence of factors, you have context for a more informed decision. The signal indicates quality, the fuel suggests momentum remains, the R:R is favorable, and no immediate trap threatens your trade.
However, you also notice the target zone sits just below where a trap zone would be if there were one. This is by design - SPM adjusts targets to avoid placing them inside reversal zones.
This multi-factor confirmation delivered in a single glance is what SPM provides.
Chart Example :This chart demonstrates how the Scalp Precision Matrix identifies key market transitions. After a strong bullish impulse (cyan PRIME signal at ~08:30), price reached a historical reversal cluster (TRAP ZONE at 92,300). The indicator detected momentum exhaustion (purple EXIT signal) as fuel dropped below 20%, warning traders to exit longs. Now showing a SHORT bias with entry/stop/target zones clearly marked. The 92% trap zone confluence indicates a strong cluster of previous swing highs where price historically reversed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DATA WINDOW VALUES
For detailed analysis and strategy development, SPM exports the following values to TradingView's Data Window (visible when you hover over the chart with the indicator selected):
- Long Quality Score (0-100)
- Short Quality Score (0-100)
- Fuel Gauge (0-100%)
- Risk:Reward Ratio
These values can be useful for understanding how the indicator behaves over time and for developing your own insights about when it works best for your trading style.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NON-REPAINTING CONFIRMATION
All signals in SPM are generated using CONFIRMED bar data only. The signal logic references the previous closed bar's values ( and in Pine Script terms). This means:
- Signals appear at the OPEN of the new bar (after the previous bar closes)
- Signals will NEVER disappear once they appear
- Signals will NEVER change position on historical bars
- What you see in backtesting is what you would have seen in real-time
The dashboard and zones update in real-time to provide current market context, but the trading signals themselves are non-repainting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
TERMINOLOGY CLARIFICATION:
This indicator uses terms that might imply access to data it does not have. To be completely transparent:
- "Trap Zones" are calculated from historical swing point clustering. They are NOT institutional liquidity pools, order blocks, smart money footprints, or any form of order flow data. The term "trap" is metaphorical, describing how price has historically reversed at these levels.
- "Fuel Gauge" is a technical momentum proxy. It is NOT order flow, volume profile, depth of market, or bid/ask data. It estimates momentum remaining based entirely on standard OHLCV price and volume data.
- "Quality Scores" are weighted combinations of the technical factors described above. A high score indicates multiple conditions align favorably according to the indicator's logic. It does NOT predict or guarantee trade success.
- The percentages shown on trap zones are CONFLUENCE SCORES measuring cluster density and proximity. They are NOT probability predictions of reversal.
TRADING RISK WARNING:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assist with decision-making. It does not constitute financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. Past performance of any signal or pattern does not guarantee future results. Markets are inherently unpredictable.
Always use proper risk management. Define your risk before entering any trade. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting with a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ORIGINALITY STATEMENT - NOT A MASHUP
Scalp Precision Matrix is an original work that combines several analytical concepts into a purpose-built scalping framework. While individual components like ATR calculations, pivot detection, session timing, and trend alignment exist in various forms elsewhere, the specific implementation here represents original synthesis:
- The Fuel Gauge decay model with its four-component weighted calculation
- The Trap Zone cluster detection with confluence scoring
- The multi-factor quality scoring system that integrates all layers
- The trap-aware entry and target zone placement logic
- The volatility regime adaptation across all components
- The session weighting is integrated into the quality assessment
The indicator does not simply overlay separate indicators on one chart. It creates interconnected layers where each component informs and adjusts the others. This integration is the core originality of SPM.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For best results, combine SPM with your own market understanding and always practice proper risk management.

Breakout LevelsBreakout Levels - User Guide
Overview
The Breakout Levels indicator automatically detects and displays significant breakout candles across multiple timeframes. A breakout occurs when price makes a strong, decisive move - identified by candles with unusually large bodies relative to average volatility.
These breakout levels often act as future support/resistance zones, making them valuable reference points for trading decisions.
What is a Breakout?
A breakout is detected when a candle's body size (the distance between open and close) is significantly larger than normal. By default, the script looks for candles that are 2x the ATR (Average True Range) or larger.
Example:
If the 14-period ATR is $5, a candle with a $10+ body would qualify as a breakout
These represent strong, committed moves by the market
The script marks the high of bullish breakouts and the low of bearish breakouts
Settings Guide
Timeframes
Toggle which timeframes to monitor for breakouts:
Show Daily Breakouts - Green/Red levels from daily chart breakouts
Show 4H Breakouts - 4-hour timeframe breakouts
Show 1H Breakouts - 1-hour timeframe breakouts
Show 15M Breakouts - 15-minute timeframe breakouts
Tip: When running on a 15-minute chart, you can see breakouts from all higher timeframes simultaneously.
Lookback (How Far Back to Display)
Controls how many bars back to show levels for each timeframe:
TimeframeDefaultWhat it Means15M50 bars~12.5 hours of breakout history1H200 bars~8 days of breakout history4H250 bars~42 days of breakout historyDaily300 bars~300 days (nearly 1 year)

How to Use This Indicator
1. Identify Key Breakout Zones
Breakout levels often become magnets where price returns later:
Former resistance (where price broke up) becomes future support
Former support (where price broke down) becomes future resistance
2. Look for Confluence
When multiple timeframe breakouts cluster near the same price:
15M + 1H + 4H breakouts all near $150 = strong level
More confluence = more significant level
3. Watch for Retests
After a breakout, price often returns to test that level:
Bullish breakout retest from above = potential long entry
Bearish breakout retest from below = potential short entry
4. Combine with Other Analysis
Use breakout levels alongside:
Your own support/resistance analysis
Volume profiles
Fibonacci levels
Candlestick patterns at these levels
Practical Examples
Example 1: Clean Breakout and Retest
Daily candle closes up with a huge body (2.5x ATR)
Green line drawn at the high of that candle
Price pulls back 3 days later and bounces exactly off that green line
Trade opportunity: Long entry at the retest with stop below
Example 2: Failed Breakout
4H bearish breakout draws a red line at the low
Price immediately reverses back above the level
Signal: The breakout was false - consider this a stop hunt zone
Example 3: Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Daily breakout at $100
4H breakout at $100.50
1H breakout at $99.80
Strong cluster zone: $99.80-$100.50 becomes a major decision point
Best Practices
DO:
✅ Start with default settings (2.0x ATR, default lookbacks)
✅ Use on a 15-minute chart to see all timeframes
✅ Look for price reactions at these levels before trading
✅ Combine with volume - breakouts with high volume are more reliable
✅ Turn off labels when chart gets too busy
DON'T:
❌ Treat every line as guaranteed support/resistance
❌ Set breakout multiplier too low (<1.5) - creates noise
❌ Ignore the context - check what's happening in the broader market
❌ Trade blindly at these levels without confirmation
Troubleshooting
"Too many lines on my chart"
Reduce the lookback settings
Turn off some timeframes (maybe just show Daily + 4H)
Increase the breakout multiplier to 2.5 or 3.0
"Not showing any levels"
Lower the breakout multiplier to 1.5
Increase lookback settings
Check that at least one timeframe toggle is ON
Verify the market had actual volatility during the period
"Labels are cluttering the chart"
Turn off "Show Labels" in settings
Lines will remain, labels disappear
Technical Notes
ATR Period: 14 (industry standard, not adjustable in this version)
Max Lines: 500 (Pine Script limitation)
Duplicate Filter: Levels within 0.3% of ATR are considered duplicates and filtered
Chart Type: Works on any chart timeframe, optimized for 15-minute
Asset Type: Works on stocks, forex, crypto, futures
Summary
The Breakout Levels indicator gives you a systematic way to identify where strong, committed market moves occurred. These levels often act as future decision points. Use them as reference zones to watch for price reactions, not as automatic trade signals.
Quick Start:
Add indicator to a 15-minute chart
Leave default settings (2.0x ATR)
Watch how price interacts with the levels over the next few days
Adjust sensitivity based on your observations

Ultimate Institutional Order Flow Pro [Pointalgo]Ultimate Institutional Order Flow (UIOF Pro)
Ultimate Institutional Order Flow (UIOF Pro) is a multi-component market analysis indicator designed to study order flow behavior, liquidity interaction, volatility structure, and session-based participation.
It integrates several commonly used market structure and order-flow concepts into a single visual framework.
This script focuses on context and alignment, not on isolated signals.
Core Objective
The indicator aims to identify areas where price, volume, liquidity, and structure appear aligned in the same direction.
It does this by combining:
VWAP behavior
Volume participation
Cumulative delta analysis
Liquidity pool interaction
Order blocks and fair value gaps
Market structure shifts
Session and higher-timeframe confirmation
VWAP & Volatility Framework
Calculates VWAP using session, weekly, or monthly anchors.
Optional VWAP standard-deviation bands visualize price dispersion.
VWAP slope and price position are used to classify directional bias.
VWAP is treated as a dynamic equilibrium reference rather than a signal.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
Estimates buy and sell pressure based on intrabar price movement.
Tracks cumulative delta and a smoothed delta average.
Uses delta change normalization to highlight abnormal activity.
Detects potential delta divergences when price and participation differ.
CVD is used to assess whether participation supports or contradicts price movement.
Liquidity Zones & Sweeps
Identifies recent swing highs and lows as potential liquidity pools.
Tracks buy-side and sell-side liquidity areas.
Flags conditions where price sweeps liquidity beyond recent extremes.
Liquidity interaction is treated as context, not prediction.
Order Blocks
1. Detects potential bullish and bearish order blocks using:
Candle structure
Volatility thresholds
Volume confirmation
2.Highlights areas where strong participation followed opposing price movement.
Order blocks are visual reference zones and do not imply guaranteed reactions.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Identifies imbalance zones where price moves without overlapping structure.
Filters gaps using ATR-based size conditions.
Visual shading is used to highlight imbalance areas.
These zones may represent inefficient price movement requiring further interaction.
Volume Profile & Point of Control (POC)
Builds a simplified volume profile over a configurable lookback window.
Determines the price level with the highest traded volume (POC).
POC is used as a reference for acceptance or rejection behavior.
Market Structure
Evaluates recent highs and lows to identify structure breaks.
Classifies directional structure as bullish, bearish, or neutral.
Structure is used as a directional filter rather than a trigger.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Optional higher-timeframe confirmation aligns lower-timeframe behavior with broader context.
Prevents analysis from relying on isolated timeframe conditions.
Session Filtering
1. Allows analysis to be limited to specific trading sessions.
2. Helps reduce signals during low-participation periods.
3. Session logic affects signal eligibility, not calculations.
Signal Logic
Signals are generated only when multiple independent conditions align, including:
Liquidity interaction
Order block presence
VWAP bias
Delta confirmation
Structure alignment
Volume participation
Optional higher-timeframe confirmation
Active trading session
Strong continuation conditions are also highlighted when price, volume, and participation remain aligned.
Signals represent confluence states, not trade instructions.
Dashboard Summary
A real-time dashboard summarizes:
VWAP bias and slope
CVD strength and direction
Delta behavior
Market structure state
Higher-timeframe context
Volume conditions
Liquidity pool counts
Session activity

- ADX starts rising (direction appears)
- Price respects support/resistance again
- Usually 1-5 days
---
## CONFLUENCE SYSTEM
### How It Works
The system scores each potential entry on 5 factors. More factors aligning = higher probability.
### Confluence Requirements by Regime
**Trending Regimes** (strictest):
- Minimum 2/5 required
- 3/5 = Good
- 4-5/5 = Excellent
**Ranging Regimes** (moderate):
- Minimum 1-2/5 required
- 2/5 = Good
- 3+/5 = Excellent
**Consolidation** (breakout only):
- Volume is most critical
- Direction confirmation
- Less confluence needed
### Adjusting Minimum Confluence
**If too few signals:**
- Lower from 2 to 1
- More trades, lower quality
**If too many false signals:**
- Raise from 2 to 3
- Fewer trades, higher quality
**Recommendation:**
- Start at 2
- Adjust based on win rate
- Aim for 55-65% win rate

## COMMON QUESTIONS
**Q: How many trades per month should I expect?**
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily chart: 5-15 trades/month. 4H chart: 15-30 trades/month.
**Q: What's a good win rate?**
A: 55-65% is excellent. 50-55% is good. Below 50% needs adjustment.
**Q: Should I trade all regimes?**
A: Beginners: Only trending. Intermediate: Trending + ranging. Advanced: All except chaos.
**Q: Can I use this on any timeframe?**
A: Best on Daily and 4H. Works on 1H with more noise. Not recommended <1H.
**Q: What if I'm in a trade and regime changes?**
A: Exit immediately (if using indicator) or let strategy handle it automatically.
**Q: How do I know if I'm over-optimizing?**
A: If results are perfect on one period but fail on another. Use walk-forward testing.
**Q: Should I always take 5/5 confluence trades?**
A: Yes, but they're rare (1-2/month). Don't wait only for these.
**Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?**
A: Yes, but keep it simple. RSI, MACD already included. Maybe add volume profile.
**Q: What assets work best?**
A: Liquid stocks, major crypto, futures. Avoid forex spot (use futures), penny stocks.
**Q: How long to hold positions?**
A: Trending: Days to weeks. Ranging: Hours to days. Breakout: Days. Let the regime guide you.

Trendlines & SR ZonesIt's a comprehensive indicator (Pine Script v6) that represents two powerful technical analysis tools: automatic trendline detection based on pivot points and volume delta analysis with support/resistance zone identification. This overlay indicator helps traders identify potential trend directions and key price levels where significant buying or selling pressure has occurred.
Features: =
1. Price Trendlines
The indicator automatically identifies and draws trendlines based on pivot points, creating dynamic support and resistance levels.
Key Components:
Pivot Detection: Uses configurable left and right bars to identify significant pivot highs and lows
Trendline Filtering: Only draws downward-sloping resistance trendlines and upward-sloping support trendlines
Zone Creation: Creates filled zones around trendlines based on average price volatility
Automatic Management: Maintains only the 3 most recent significant trendlines to avoid chart clutter
Customization Options:
Left/Right Bars for Pivot: Adjust sensitivity of pivot detection (default: 10 bars each side)
Extension Length: Control how far trendlines extend past the second pivot (default: 50 bars)
Average Body Periods: Set the lookback period for volatility calculation (default: 100)
Tolerance Multiplier: Adjust the width of the trendline zones (default: 1.0)
Color Customization: Separate colors for high (resistance) and low (support) trendlines and their fills
2. Volume Delta % Bars
The indicator analyzes volume distribution across price levels to identify significant supply and demand zones.
Key Components:
Volume Profile Analysis: Divides the price range into rows and calculates volume delta at each level
Delta Visualization: Displays horizontal bars showing the percentage difference between buying and selling volume
Zone Identification: Automatically identifies the most significant supply and demand zones
Visual Integration: Connects volume delta bars with corresponding support/resistance zones on the price chart
Customization Options:
Lookback Period: Set the number of bars to analyze for volume (default: 200)
Price Rows: Control the granularity of the volume analysis (default: 50 rows)
Delta Sections: Adjust the number of horizontal delta bars displayed (default: 20)
Panel Appearance: Customize width, position, and direction of the delta panel
Zone Settings: Control the number of supply/demand zones and their extension (default: 3 zones)
How It Works-
Trendline Logic:
The script continuously scans for pivot highs and lows based on the specified left and right bars
When a pivot is detected, it creates a horizontal line at that price level
The script then looks for the previous pivot of the same type (high or low)
It connects these pivots with a trendline, extending it based on the user-specified setting
A parallel line is created to form a zone, with the distance based on average price volatility
The script filters out invalid trendlines (upward-sloping resistance and downward-sloping support). Only the 3 most recent trendlines are maintained to prevent chart clutter
Volume Delta Logic:
The script divides the price range over the lookback period into the specified number of rows
For each bar in the lookback period, it categorizes volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open). This volume is assigned to the appropriate price level based on the HLC3 price.
The price levels are grouped into sections, and the net delta (bullish - bearish volume) is calculated for each Horizontal bars are drawn to represent these delta percentages.
The most significant positive and negative deltas are identified and displayed as support and resistance zones. These zones are extended to the left on the price chart and connected to the delta panel with dotted lines.
Ideal Timeframes:
The indicator is versatile and can be used across multiple timeframes, but it performs optimally on specific timeframes depending on your trading style:
For Day Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: 15-minute to 1-hour charts
Why: These timeframes provide a good balance between noise reduction and sufficient volume data. The volume delta analysis is particularly effective on these timeframes as it captures intraday accumulation/distribution patterns while the trendlines remain reliable enough for intraday trading decisions.
For Swing Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: 1-hour to 4-hour charts
Why: These timeframes offer the best combination of reliable trendline formation and meaningful volume analysis. The trendlines on these timeframes are less prone to whipsaws, while the volume delta analysis captures multi-day trading sessions and institutional activity.
For Position Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: Daily and weekly charts
Why: On these higher timeframes, trendlines become extremely reliable as they represent significant market structure points. The volume delta analysis reveals longer-term accumulation and distribution patterns that can define major support and resistance zones for weeks or months.
Timeframe-Specific Adjustments:
Lower Timeframes (1-15 minutes):
Reduce left/right bars for pivots (5-8 bars)
Decrease lookback period for volume delta (50-100 bars)
Increase tolerance multiplier (1.2-1.5) to account for higher volatility
Higher Timeframes (Daily+):
Increase left/right bars for pivots (15-20 bars)
Extend lookback period for volume delta (300-500 bars)
Consider increasing the number of price rows (70-100) for more detailed volume analysis
Usage Guidelines-
For Trendline Analysis:
Use the trendlines as dynamic support and resistance levels
Price reactions at these levels can indicate potential trend continuation or reversal points
The filled zones around trendlines represent areas of price volatility or uncertainty
Consider the slope of the trendline as an indication of trend strength
For Volume Delta Analysis:
The horizontal delta bars show where buying or selling pressure has been concentrated
Green bars indicate areas where buying volume exceeded selling volume (demand)
Red bars indicate areas where selling volume exceeded buying volume (supply)
The highlighted supply and demand zones on the price chart represent significant price levels
These zones can act as future support or resistance areas as price revisits them
Customization Tips:
Trendline Sensitivity: Decrease left/right bars values to detect more pivots (more sensitive) or increase them for fewer, more significant pivots
Zone Width: Adjust the tolerance multiplier to make trendline zones wider or narrower based on your trading style
Volume Analysis: Increase the lookback period for a longer-term volume profile or decrease it for more recent activity
Visual Clarity: Adjust colors and transparency settings to match your chart theme and preferences
Conclusion:
This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of both trend dynamics and volume-based support/resistance levels. With these two analytical approaches, the indicator offers valuable insights for identifying potential entry and exit points, trend strength, and key price levels where significant market activity has occurred. The extensive customization options allow traders to adapt the indicator to various trading styles and timeframes, with optimal performance on 15-minute to daily charts depending on their trading horizon.

OBV + WaveTrend Volume Scalper [GratefulFutures]This script is a combination script of three different strategies that provides buy and sell signals based on the change of volume with momentum confirmations.
Sources used:
This script relies on the outstanding scripts of the great script writer LazyBear: LazyBear
The following scripts were used in this publication:
1. A modified "On-Balance Volume Oscillator" modified from LazyBear's original script:
2. Wavetrend Oscillator with crosses, Author: LazyBear
3. Squeeze Momentum Oscillator, Author: LazyBear
This script functions based on the following criteria being true:
1. On balance volume oscillator turning from negative to positive (buy) or positive to negative (sell)
2. Squeeze Momentum value is increasing (buy) or decreasing (sell)
3. Wavetrend 1 (wt1) is greater than wavetrend 2 (wt2) (buy)/ Wavetrend 1 (wt1) is less than wavetrend 2 (wt2) (sell)
By combining these factors the indicator is able to signal exactly when net buying turns to net selling (OBV) and when this change is most advantageous to continue based on the momentum and price action of the underlying asset (SQMOMO and Wavetrend).
This allows you to pair volume and price action for a powerful tool to identify where price will reverse or continue providing exceptional entries for short term trades, especially when combined with other aspects such as support and resistance, or volume profile.
How to use:
Simply adjust the settings to your preference and read the given signals as generated.
Settings
There are multiple ways to tune the signals generated. It is set standard for my preferred use on a 1 minute chart.
OBV Oscillator Settings
The first 4 dropdowns in the Inputs section tune the On Balance Volume Oscillator (OBVO) portion of the indicator. You can choose if you want it to calculate based on close, open, high, low, or other value.
The most impactful in the entire settings is going to be the length and smoothing of the OBVO EMA. Making this number lower increasing the sensitivity to changes in volume, making the signals come quicker but is more susceptible to quick fluctuations. A value of between (5-20) is reasonable for the OBVO EMA length. There is a separate smoothing factor titled OBV Smoothing Length and below that, OBV Smoothing Type , a value of (2) is standard with "SMA" for smoothing type with a value of between 2-10 being reasonable. You may also play with these values to see what you like for your trading style.
Wavetrend Settings
The next 3 options are to modify the wavetrend portion of the indicator. I do not modify these from standard, and feel that they work appropriately on all time frames at the following values: n1 length (10), n2 length (20), Wavetrend Signal SMA length (4)
Squeeze Momentum Settings
The following 5 options through the end modify the Squeeze momentum portion of the indicator. The only one that modifies the signals generated is the KC Length , Making this number lower increasing the sensitivity to changes in price action, making the signals come quicker but is more susceptible to quick fluctuations. A value of between (18-25) is reasonable for KC Length .
Style Setting
You may select if you want to see the buy and sell signals. The following 5 options Raw OBV Osc through Squeeze Momentum allow you to see where each specific requirement was met, posted as a vertical line, but for live use it is recommended to turn all of these vertical lines off and only use the buy and sell signals.
Time Frames:
While this script is most effective on shorter time frames (1 minute for scalping and daytrading) it is also viable to use it on longer timeframes, due to the nature of its components being independent of time frame.
Examples of use - (Green and red vertical lines are for visualization purpose and are not part of the script)
SPY 1 Minute (Factory Settings):
SPX 15 minutes (Factory Settings):
Considerations
This script is meant primarily for short term trading, trades on the basis of seconds to minutes primarily. While they can be a good indication of volume lining up with momentum, it is always wise to use them in combination with other factors such as support, resistance, market structure, volume levels, or the many other techniques out there...
As Always... Happy Trading.

VB-MainLiteVB-MainLite – v1.0 Initial Release
Overview
VB-MainLite is a consolidated market-structure and execution framework designed to streamline decision-making into a single chart-level view. The script combines multi-timeframe trend, volatility, volume, and liquidity signals into one cohesive visual layer, reducing indicator clutter while preserving depth of information for active traders.
Core Architecture
Trend Backbone – EMA 200
Dedicated EMA 200 acts as the primary trend filter and higher-timeframe bias reference.
Serves as the “spine” of the system for contextualizing all secondary signals (swings, reversals, volume events, etc.).
Custom MA Suite (Envelope Ready)
Four configurable moving averages with flexible source, length, and smoothing.
Default configuration (preset idea: “8/89 Envelope”):
MA #1: EMA 8 on high
MA #2: EMA 8 on low
MA #3: EMA 89 on high
MA #4: EMA 89 on low
All four are disabled by default to keep the chart minimal. Users can toggle them on from the Custom MAs group for envelope or cloud-style configurations.
Nadaraya–Watson Smoother (Swing Framework)
Gaussian-kernel Nadaraya–Watson regression applied to price (hl2) to build a smooth synthetic curve.
Two layers of functionality:
Swing labels (▲ / ▼) at inflection points in the smoothed curve.
Optional curve line that visually tracks the turning structure over the last ~500 bars.
Designed to surface early swing potential before standard MAs react.
Hull Moving Average (Trend Overlay)
Optional Hull MA (HMA) for faster trend visualization.
Color-coded by slope (buy/sell bias).
Default: off to prevent overloading the chart; can be enabled under Hull MA settings.
Momentum, Exhaustion & Pattern Engine
CCI-Based Bar Coloring
CCI applied to close with configurable thresholds.
Overbought / oversold CCI zones map directly into candle coloring to visually highlight short-term momentum extremes.
RSI Top / Bottom Exhaustion Finder
RSI logic applied separately to high-driven (tops) and low-driven (bottoms) sequences.
Plots:
Top arrows where high-side RSI stretches into high-risk territory.
Bottom arrows where low-side RSI indicates exhaustion on the downside.
Useful as confluence around the Nadaraya swing turns and EMA 200 regime.
Engulfing + MA Trend Engine (“Fat Bull / Fat Bear”)
Detects bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, then combines them with MA trend cross logic.
Only when both pattern and MA regime align does the engine flag:
Fat Bull (Engulf + MA aligned long)
Fat Bear (Engulf + MA aligned short)
Candles are marked via conditional barcolor to highlight strong, structured shifts in control.
Fat Finger Detection (Wick Spikes / Stop Runs)
Identifies abnormal wick extensions relative to the prior bar’s body range with configurable tolerance.
Supports detection of potential liquidity grabs, stop runs, or “excess” that may precede reversals or mean-reversion behavior.
Volume & Liquidity Intelligence
Bull Snort (Aggressive Buy Spikes)
Flags events where:
Volume is significantly above the 50-period average, and
Price closes in the upper portion of the bar and above prior close.
Plots a labeled marker below the bar to indicate aggressive upside initiative by buyers.
Pocket Pivots (Accumulation Flags)
Compares current volume vs prior 10 sessions with a filter on prior “up” days.
Highlights pocket pivot days where current green candle volume outclasses recent down-day volumes, suggesting stealth accumulation.
Delta Volume Core (Directional Volume by Price)
Internal volume-by-price style engine over a user-defined lookback.
Splits volume into up-close and down-close buckets across dynamic price bins.
Feeds into S&R and ICT zone logic to quantify where buying vs selling pressure built up.
Structural Context: S&R and ICT Zones
S&R Power Channel
Computes local high/low band over a configurable lookback window.
Renders:
Upper and lower S&R channel lines.
Shaded support / resistance zones using boxes.
Adds Buy Power / Sell Power metrics based on the ratio of up vs down bars inside the window, displayed directly in the zone overlays.
Drops ◈ markers where price interacts dynamically with the top or bottom band, highlighting reaction points.
ICT-Style Premium / Discount & Macro Zones
Two tiered structures:
Local Premium / Discount zones over a shorter SR window.
Macro Premium / Discount zones over a longer macro window.
Each zone:
Uses underlying directional volume to annotate accumulation vs distribution bias.
Provides Delta Volume Bias shading in the mid-band region, visually encoding whether local power flows are net-buying or net-selling.
Enables traders to quickly see whether current trade location is in a local/macro discount or premium context while still respecting volume profile.
Positioning Intelligence: PCD (Stocks)
Position Cost Distribution (PCD) – Stocks Only
Available for stock symbols on intraday up to daily timeframe (≤ 1D).
Uses:
TOTAL_SHARES_OUTSTANDING fundamentals,
Daily OHLCV snapshot, and
A bucketed distribution engine
to approximate cost basis distribution across price.
Outputs:
Horizontal “PCD bars” to the right of current price, density-scaled by estimated share concentration.
Color-coding by profitability relative to current price (profitable vs unprofitable positions).
Labels for:
Current price
Average cost
Profit ratio (share % below current price)
90% cost range
70% cost range
Range overlap as a measure of clustering / concentration.
Multi-Timeframe Trend: Two-Pole Gaussian Dashboard
Two-Pole Gaussian Filter (Line + Cloud)
Smooths a user-selected source (default: close) using a two-pole Gaussian filter with tunable alpha.
Plots:
A thin Gaussian trend line, and
A thick Gaussian “cloud” line with transparency, colored by slope vs past (offsetG).
Functions as a responsive trend backbone that is more sensitive than EMA 200 but less noisy than raw price.
Multi-Timeframe Gaussian Dashboard
Evaluates Gaussian trend direction across up to six timeframes (e.g., 1H / 2H / 4H / Daily / Weekly).
Renders a compact bottom-right table:
Header: symbol + overall bias arrow (up / down) based on average trend alignment.
Row of colored cells per timeframe (green for uptrend, magenta for downtrend) with human-readable TF labels (e.g., “60M”, “4H”, “1D”).
Gives an immediate read on whether intraday, swing, and higher-timeframe flows are aligned or fragmented.
Default Configuration & Usage Guidance
Default state after adding the script:
Enabled by default:
EMA 200 trend backbone
Nadaraya–Watson swing labels and curve
CCI bar coloring
RSI top/bottom arrows
Fat Bull / Fat Bear engine
Bull Snort & Pocket Pivots
S&R Power Channel
ICT Local + Macro zones
Two-pole Gaussian line + cloud + dashboard
PCD engine for stocks (auto-active where data is available)
Disabled by default (opt-in):
Custom MA suite (4x MAs, preset as EMA 8/8/89/89)
Hull MA overlay
How traders can use VB-MainLite in practice:
Use EMA 200 + Gaussian dashboard to define top-down directional bias and avoid trading directly against multi-TF trend.
Use Nadaraya swing labels, RSI exhaustion arrows, and CCI bar colors to time entries within that higher-timeframe bias.
Use Fat Bull / Fat Bear events as structured confirmation that both pattern and MA regime have flipped in the same direction.
Use Bull Snort, Pocket Pivots, and S&R / ICT zones to align execution with liquidity, volume, and location (premium vs discount).
On stocks, use PCD as a positioning map to understand trapped supply, support zones near crowded cost basis, and where profit-taking is likely.
