Pulse Volume Commitment [JOAT]
Pulse Volume Commitment - Three-Dimensional Momentum Analysis
Introduction and Purpose
Pulse Volume Commitment is an open-source oscillator indicator that analyzes price action through three distinct dimensions: Quantity (candle count), Quality (body structure), and Commitment (volume-weighted quality). The core problem this indicator solves is that simple bullish/bearish candle counts miss important context. A market can have more green candles but still be weak if those candles have small bodies and low volume.
This indicator addresses that by requiring all three dimensions to align before generating strong signals, filtering out weak moves that lack conviction.
Why These Three Dimensions Work Together
Each dimension measures a different aspect of market conviction:
1. Quantity - Counts bullish vs bearish candles over the lookback period. Tells you WHO is winning the candle count battle.
2. Quality - Scores candles by body size relative to total range. Full-bodied candles (small wicks) indicate stronger conviction than doji-like candles. Tells you HOW decisively price is moving.
3. Commitment - Weights quality scores by volume. High-quality candles on high volume indicate institutional participation. Tells you WHETHER smart money is involved.
When all three align (e.g., more bullish candles + bullish quality + bullish commitment), the signal is significantly more reliable.
How the Calculations Work
Quantity Analysis:
int greenCount = 0
int redCount = 0
for i = 0 to lookbackPeriod - 1
if close > open
greenCount += 1
if close < open
redCount += 1
bool quantityBull = greenCount > redCount
Quality Analysis (body-to-range scoring):
for i = 0 to lookbackPeriod - 1
float candleBody = close - open // Signed (positive = bull)
float candleRange = high - low
float bodyQuality = candleRange > 0 ? (candleBody / candleRange * 100) * candleRange : 0.0
sumBodyQuality += bodyQuality
bool qualityBull = sumBodyQuality > 0
Signal Types
FULL BULL - All three dimensions bullish (Quantity + Quality + Commitment)
FULL BEAR - All three dimensions bearish
LEAN BULL/BEAR - 2 of 3 dimensions agree
MIXED - No clear consensus
STRONG BUY/SELL - Full confluence + ADX confirms trending market
ADX Integration
The indicator includes ADX (Average Directional Index) to filter signals:
- ADX >= 20 = TRENDING market (signals more reliable)
- ADX < 20 = RANGING market (signals may whipsaw)
Strong signals only trigger when full confluence occurs in a trending environment.
Dashboard Information
Quantity - BULL/BEAR/FLAT with green/red candle ratio
Quality - Directional bias based on body quality scoring
Commit - Volume-weighted commitment reading
ADX - Trend strength (TRENDING/RANGING)
Signal - Confluence status (FULL BULL/FULL BEAR/LEAN/MIXED)
Action - STRONG BUY/STRONG SELL/WAIT
How to Use This Indicator
For High-Conviction Entries:
1. Wait for FULL BULL or FULL BEAR confluence
2. Confirm ADX shows TRENDING
3. Enter when Action shows STRONG BUY or STRONG SELL
For Filtering Weak Setups:
1. Avoid entries when signal shows MIXED
2. Be cautious when ADX shows RANGING
3. Require at least 2 of 3 dimensions to agree
For Divergence Analysis:
1. Watch for Quantity bullish but Commitment bearish (distribution)
2. Watch for Quantity bearish but Commitment bullish (accumulation)
Input Parameters
Lookback Period (9) - Bars to analyze for all three dimensions
ADX Smoothing (14) - Period for ADX calculation
ADX DI Length (14) - Period for directional indicators
Timeframe Recommendations
15m-1H: Good for intraday momentum analysis
4H-Daily: Best for swing trading confluence
Lookback period may need adjustment for different timeframes
Limitations
Lookback period affects signal responsiveness vs reliability tradeoff
Volume data quality varies by exchange
ADX filter may cause missed entries in early trends
Works best on liquid instruments with consistent volume

Current & Prior Day OHLC Levels# Current & Prior Day OHLC Levels with 15-Minute Opening Range
## Overview
This comprehensive indicator plots key price levels for futures and stock traders, displaying Current Day levels, Prior Day levels, and the 15-Minute Opening Range. These levels serve as critical support and resistance zones that professional traders monitor throughout the trading session.
## Key Features
### Current Day Levels (Session-Based)
- **Current Open**: The opening price of the current trading session
- **Current High**: The highest price reached during the current session (updates in real-time)
- **Current Low**: The lowest price reached during the current session (updates in real-time)
The indicator properly recognizes **futures trading sessions**, which begin at their respective session start times (not midnight). For example, most equity index futures sessions begin at 6:00 PM ET the previous day, ensuring accurate session-based tracking for overnight and globex trading.
### Prior Day Levels
- **Prior Open**: Opening price from the previous trading session
- **Prior High**: High of the previous trading session
- **Prior Low**: Low of the previous trading session
- **Prior Close**: Closing price from the previous trading session
Prior day levels are some of the most widely watched technical levels in trading, often acting as psychological support and resistance zones where price action tends to react.
### 15-Minute Opening Range (NY Session)
- **OR High**: The high of the first 15 minutes after New York market open (9:30-9:45 AM ET)
- **OR Low**: The low of the first 15 minutes after New York market open (9:30-9:45 AM ET)
The opening range concept is a popular day trading strategy. The first 15 minutes often establishes the tone for the day, with these levels frequently serving as breakout or breakdown points. The indicator tracks these levels in real-time as they form, then locks them in after 9:45 AM ET.
## Visual Design
### Smart Line Extension
- Lines extend **left** to the exact bar that created each level (e.g., the bar that made the high)
- Lines extend **right** by a configurable number of bars (default: 50 bars)
- No infinite line extension cluttering your chart
### Intelligent Label Placement
- Labels positioned **above** highs and opens
- Labels positioned **below** lows
- Adjustable offset to position labels optimally for your timeframe
- Optional price display in labels (e.g., "Current High: 5,950.00")
- Semi-transparent label backgrounds for clean chart appearance
## Customization Options
### Individual Level Controls
Each level (Current Open, High, Low, Prior Open, High, Low, Close, OR High, OR Low) can be:
- Toggled on/off independently
- Assigned a custom color
- Given its own line style (Solid, Dashed, or Dotted)
- Adjusted for line width (1-5 pixels)
### Default Styling
- **Current Day**: Solid lines (Gold for Open, Green for High, Red for Low)
- **Prior Day**: Dashed lines (Steel Blue for Open, Dark Cyan for High, Crimson for Low, Slate Blue for Close)
- **Opening Range**: Dotted lines (Cyan for High, Tomato for Low)
This default styling provides clear visual distinction between level types while remaining professional and easy to read.
### Label Customization
- Toggle all labels on/off
- Show or hide price values in labels
- Adjust label offset (distance from current bar)
- Five label size options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
### Line Extension Control
- Configurable right extension (0-500 bars)
- Adjust based on your chart timeframe and preference
## Best Use Cases
### Futures Traders
The indicator's session-aware design makes it perfect for futures markets, properly handling:
- Electronic trading hours (Globex)
- Session rollovers at 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM ET (depending on contract)
- Overnight price action
### Day Traders
- Use Opening Range levels for breakout/breakdown strategies
- Monitor Current High/Low for intraday trend identification
- Watch Prior Day levels for profit targets and stop placement
### Swing Traders
- Prior Day High/Low often act as key decision points
- Prior Close serves as an important reference level
- Current Day levels help with intraday entry/exit timing
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Works on any intraday timeframe:
- 1-minute for scalping
- 5-minute for active day trading
- 15-minute or 30-minute for swing entries
- 1-hour for position context
## Technical Details
### Session Detection
- Uses TradingView's built-in session detection for accurate daily boundaries
- Properly handles futures contracts with non-midnight session starts
- New York timezone detection for Opening Range (9:30 AM ET)
### Real-Time Updates
- Current High and Low update dynamically as price moves
- Opening Range levels update live during the 9:30-9:45 AM window
- Lines redraw on each bar to maintain accurate positioning
### Performance
- Maximum 500 lines and 500 labels to ensure smooth chart performance
- Efficient line/label deletion and recreation on session changes
- Minimal computational overhead
## Tips for Optimal Use
1. **Adjust Line Extension**: For lower timeframes (1-min, 5-min), reduce right extension to 20-30 bars. For higher timeframes (1-hour), increase to 100+ bars.
2. **Combine with Price Action**: These levels work best when combined with candlestick patterns, volume analysis, and order flow.
3. **Watch for Level Tests**: Price often tests these levels multiple times before breaking through or reversing.
4. **Opening Range Breakouts**: Many traders wait for price to break and close above OR High or below OR Low before entering directional trades.
5. **Prior Day Levels as Targets**: Use Prior High as an upside target and Prior Low as a downside target for intraday trades.
## Compatibility
- Works on all instruments (Futures, Stocks, Forex, Crypto)
- Optimized for intraday timeframes (1-min to 1-hour)
- Best results on liquid instruments with clear session boundaries
- Designed specifically with ES, NQ, YM, and RTY futures traders in mind

Adaptive RSIThe Adaptive RSI is a new version of the famous RSI that can adapt to environments and produce both Mean Reverting & Trend Following signals.
The Benefits
- Adaptive behaviour can allow fast entries while also filtering false signals
- Provides signals for both catching high/low value zones and trends
- Very good trend catching in trending environments
- Visualization provides Overbought/Oversold signal highlighting of more restrictive (diamonds) and less restrictive type (background), divergence between smoothed and basic RSI, Adaptive RSI values and bar coloring.
- Works well on BINANCE:BNBUSD
The Idea
The main idea is to give the RSI a more adaptive approach to do the market, so it can speed it up during potential oppurtunities and slow down during more dangerous environments.
This would theoreticly allow it to be a lot more versatile and provide a more accurate set of signals. On top of that, the adaptive approach could not only provide great entries but also exits when following the indicator mean-reverting style.
How it works
The indicator sets up 3 conditions, the more of them are true, the more aggressive approach will be chosen. This allows the indicator to shift speed, adapt to any environment and avoid too many false signals.
Then it uses a smoothing to improve accuracy, that is adaptive in the same way as the RSI itself.
It also has a option for a special ROC-weighted source, which however I do not recommend using unless you understand coding & know how it works.
Hope you enjoy Gs!
Please keep in mind no indicator is perfect and that every indicator has flaws
Smart Reversal [Scalping-Algo]════════════════════════════════════════════
Smart Reversal
This indicator identifies potential reversal points using a two-step confirmation method that I developed for my own scalping. Unlike typical reversal indicators that rely on RSI oversold/overbought or simple candlestick patterns, this uses a different approach.
🔹 HOW IT WORKS
The logic is based on two phases:
Phase 1 - Anchor Detection:
The indicator looks for candles where price closes beyond ALL previous candles in the lookback period. For a bullish setup, the close must be below the lows of the last N candles (default 20). This isn't just a "lower low" - it's an extreme extension where price has broken below every single candle in the range. I also require this candle to have above-average volume (2x the 20-period average) to confirm real selling pressure, not just a gap or low-liquidity move.
Phase 2 - Confirmation:
After an anchor forms, I wait for price to reverse and close above the anchor candle's high (for buys) or below the anchor's low (for sells). This must happen within 3 bars. If price makes a new extreme instead, the setup cancels.
🔹 SIGNAL QUALITY SCORING
Each signal gets a score from 3/5 to 5/5:
- 3/5: Basic confirmation occurred
- 4/5: Anchor or confirmation had strong volume
- 5/5: Both volume conditions met + aligned with 200 EMA trend
I focus on 4/5 and 5/5 signals personally.
🔹 WHAT YOU SEE ON CHART
- Green/Red boxes: Active setup waiting for confirmation
- B or S labels: Confirmed signals with quality score
- Dashboard: Shows current status and volume condition
🔹 SETTINGS
- Bars to Check: How many candles for the breakout comparison (default 20)
- Confirmation Window: Bars allowed after anchor for confirmation (default 3)
- Volume thresholds: Adjustable multipliers for anchor (2x) and confirmation (1.2x)
🔹 SUGGESTED USE
- Works on any timeframe, but I use it mainly on 5-15 min charts
- Better results when combined with key support/resistance levels
- Avoid trading during high-impact news

OTM Adaptive Kalman CloudOTM • Adaptive Kalman Cloud — User Guide
OTM • Adaptive Kalman Cloud is a trend + momentum visual tool built around two Adaptive Kalman filters (Fast & Slow). It prints a directional cloud that reacts quickly when the market shifts, but stays smooth enough to keep you out of chop.
What it shows
Fast Kalman = short-term direction / impulse
Slow Kalman = trend baseline / structure bias
Cloud = the “state” of the market (trend vs reversal vs chop)
How to read it
Bullish state
Cloud is bull color
Fast is above Slow (or Fast slope is rising if using slope mode)
Best trades: pullbacks into the cloud + continuation
Bearish state
Cloud is bear color
Fast is below Slow (or Fast slope is falling)
Best trades: pullbacks into the cloud + continuation
Transition / reversal
Cloud flips color after Fast/Slow relationship changes
Treat first flip as warning, confirmation comes from structure/liquidity (your SMC tool)
Settings that matter (don’t overcomplicate it)
1) Lengths
Fast (8–13): quicker signals, more noise
Slow (21–55): cleaner bias, fewer flips
Typical: 8 / 21 (fast scalps) or 13 / 34 (cleaner trend)
2) Color Mode
Fast>Slow: best for trend bias (simple + reliable)
Fast Slope: more responsive, can flip earlier in chop
3) Timeframe + Wait for Close
Set a higher TF (ex: 1H) to use it as bias
Turn on Wait for timeframe closes to stop HTF repaint-style flicker
4) Cloud Thickness
Thickness Mult is visual only (makes the cloud easier to see)
Doesn’t change the Kalman calculation—just visibility
5) Spread (Visual Helper)
Spread is visual only to separate lines when volatility is low
Use ATR spread for most markets
Best way to use it (simple rules)
Only trade in the cloud direction
Entries: wait for price to pull back into/near the cloud, then continue
Exits: when cloud flips against you OR momentum dies and structure breaks
Combine with your SMC: use the cloud as bias, SMC as entry trigger
Recommended presets
Gold / BTC (5m–15m)
Fast 8, Slow 21
Color mode: Fast>Slow
Thickness: 1.6–2.2
Spread: ATR, 14, amount 0.10–0.25 depending on volatility
Inside and Outside Bar@55Explanation
Definition of Inside Bar:
Loose Definition: The high and low of the current candlestick are both within the high and low range of the previous candlestick.
Strict Definition: One extreme value (either high or low) of the current candlestick is equal to that of the previous candlestick, while the other extreme value falls within the range of the previous candlestick.
Definition of Outside Bar:
Loose Definition: The high of the current candlestick is higher than that of the previous candlestick, and the low of the current candlestick is lower than that of the previous candlestick.
Strict Definition: One extreme value (either high or low) of the current candlestick is equal to that of the previous candlestick, while the other extreme value breaks through the range of the previous candlestick.
plotshape Function: If an inside bar or outside bar is detected, the letter i (for inside bar) or o (for outside bar) will be displayed above the corresponding candlestick.
Parameters:
tightInside: When this toggle is enabled, the definition of an inside bar will be more strict, meaning one extreme value equals that of the previous candlestick and the other extreme value stays within the range of the previous candlestick.
tightOutside: When this toggle is enabled, the definition of an outside bar will be more strict, meaning one extreme value equals that of the previous candlestick and the other extreme value breaks through the range of the previous candlestick.
CAP - CSI [Auto-MTF]The CAP - CSI is a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) tool based on the principles of Lars von Thienen’s "Dynamic Cycles." While traditional oscillators often fail in trending markets by staying "pinned" at extremes, the CSI uses a recursive dual-thrust processor to isolate the underlying market rhythm, helping traders identify when a cycle is genuinely exhausted.
Core Methodology
This script implements a Cycle Swing Momentum processor. It calculates the difference between short-term and long-term "thrusts" to extract the dominant cycle from price action. Unlike static indicators, it uses Dynamic Percentile Banding to adapt its overbought and oversold levels based on the market's recent "cyclic memory."
Key Features
Pivot Point Detection: Identifies exhaustion when the CSI extends outside its dynamic bands and begins to pivot back toward the mean.
Trend-Aware Coloring: The area fill uses slope-based logic to differentiate between "Rising/Falling" momentum and "Bullish/Bearish" strong zones.
HTF (5x): Built-in logic to define the larger cycle trend. I recommend using a 5x multiplier (e.g., viewing 4H cycles on a 1H chart) to ensure you are trading with the macro flow.
Zero Line Equilibrium: Clear visualization of the cycle's position relative to its center-point to determine the current market regime.
The "Trending" Challenge
A common pitfall with DSP-based cycle tools is that they can generate "phantom" signals during powerful, linear trending conditions. This script is my attempt to solve that by integrating HTF confluence and slope-based filtering. It is specifically optimized for:
Futures: ES, NQ, RTY, and GC.
US Equities: (NVDA, TSLA, etc.).
Additional tip, search for Strong relative strength Symbols, I've created this script : CAP - Mansfield Relative Strength, but there are many there "Mansfield Relative Strength" indicators available.
Why I am sharing this
This is an ongoing project. I am releasing this to the public to connect with other traders interested in Lars von Thienen’s work or John Ehlers’ DSP techniques. My goal is to collaborate with the community to refine the processor further and build a consistent, profitable system that can distinguish between a cycle turn and a trend continuation.

GCM Quantum Strike: VMDPB & MarubozuTitle Field: GCM Quantum Strike: VMDPB & Marubozu
Description:
GCM Quantum Strike is a comprehensive technical analysis suite designed to visualize Momentum (Marubozu), Trend (Ribbons/DEMA), and Key Levels (PDHL/VWAP) on a single overlay.
The core innovation of this script is the "Phantom Mode" Marubozu Engine, a custom coding technique designed to solve the issue of color transparency mixing on overlay charts.
Originality & Concept
Standard scripts often struggle when highlighting specific candle patterns; drawing a highlight over an existing candle results in muddy, mixed colors due to transparency blending.
GCM Quantum Strike solves this using a unique logic flow:
1. Detection: It scans price action for Marubozu candles based on strict ATR (Volatility) and Percentage (Body/Wick) requirements.
2. Phantom Mode: When a signal is found, the script programmatically turns the original chart bar 100% invisible (color.rgb(0,0,0,100)).
3. Reconstruction: It instantly draws a new, Solid (100% Opacity) custom candle in that exact space.
This results in crisp, "Quantum" styled signals that pop off the screen without blending with the background or previous themes.
How it Works & Key Features
1. The Marubozu Engine (GM / RM)
• Logic: A candle is identified as a Marubozu if:
o Size: The range exceeds a user-defined multiple of the ATR (14).
o Body: Occupies >80% (default) of the total range.
o Wicks: Occupy <10% (default) of the total range.
• Visuals:
o GM (Green Marubozu): Signals strong Bullish influx.
o RM (Red Marubozu): Signals strong Bearish influx.
o Both are rendered in solid Neon Green/Red.
2. Trend Ribbons & Averages
• EMA Ribbons: A visual ribbon formed by EMA 5, 9, 15, and SMA 20. The color intensity changes based on the slope alignment, helping identify the strength of the immediate trend.
• VWMA 20 (Volume Weighted): Plots in Light Blue (Rising) or Orange (Falling). This helps confirm if price moves are backed by volume.
• DEMA 100 (Step-Line): A Double EMA plotted as a step-line to act as a clear, non-noisy baseline for the long-term trend.
3. Institutional Levels
• PDH / PDL: The Previous Day's High and Low are fetched from daily data (non-repainting) and plotted as "Cross" markers. These often act as strong intraday magnets or reversal points.
• VWAP: The classic Session Volume Weighted Average Price (Yellow).
• Bollinger Bands: Standard 2.0 deviation bands to visualize volatility expansion and contraction.
How to Use
This script is designed for "Confluence Trading." Do not rely on one signal alone; look for agreement among the indicators.
1. The Setup: Wait for the EMA Ribbons and VWMA 20 to align in color (e.g., Green/Blue for Buy).
2. The Trigger: Look for a GM (Green Marubozu) label. This indicates a high-momentum breakout or trend continuation candle.
3. The Validation: Ensure the GM candle closes outside the EMA ribbons or above the VWAP.
4. The Targets: Use the PDH (Red Crosses) or Upper Bollinger Band as logical take-profit zones.
Settings
• Marubozu Settings: Fully adjustable. You can change the Min Body %, Max Shadow %, and ATR Multiplier to filter out smaller candles during choppy markets.
• Moving Averages: Adjust lengths for VWMA, SMA, and DEMA.
• Toggles: Every component (PDHL, BB, Ribbons) can be toggled on/off to keep your chart clean.
Volume Weighted CandlesVWC Key features:
Volume Scaling: Each candle's body size is multiplied by the volume ratio (current volume vs. average volume)
Maintains Price Accuracy: The candles stay centered around the true midpoint between open and close
Visual Volume Feedback: High-volume candles appear larger, low-volume candles appear smaller
Adjustable Parameters:
Volume Lookback Period (default 20): How many bars to use for calculating average volume
Scale Factor (default 1.0): Adjusts how dramatically volume affects candle size
Show Original Candles: Toggle to see the original candles in the background for comparison
Visual Cues:
Green/red candles for bullish/bearish moves
Background highlighting when volume is exceptionally high (>1.5x avg) or low (<0.5x avg)
Wicks remain at actual high/low prices for accuracy
The indicator helps you quickly identify which price movements had significant volume behind them, making it easier to spot strong momentum moves versus low-conviction price action.
Prism Band Dynamics [JOAT]Prism Band Dynamics - Bollinger-Style Bands with Force Detection
Introduction and Purpose
Prism Band Dynamics is an open-source overlay indicator that creates dynamic Bollinger-style bands with an innovative "force detection" system. The core problem this indicator solves is that standard Bollinger Bands show volatility but don't indicate directional momentum. When all three band components (upper, lower, basis) move in the same direction, it indicates strong directional force that standard bands don't highlight.
This indicator addresses that by detecting when all band components align directionally, providing a clear signal of market force.
Why Force Detection Matters
Standard Bollinger Bands expand and contract based on volatility, but they don't tell you about directional momentum. Force detection adds this dimension:
1. Bullish Force - Upper band, lower band, AND basis all moving up together. This indicates strong upward momentum where even the lower support level is rising.
2. Bearish Force - Upper band, lower band, AND basis all moving down together. This indicates strong downward momentum where even the upper resistance level is falling.
3. Neutral - Mixed movement indicates consolidation or uncertainty.
How Force Detection Works
bool upperUp = upper > upper
bool lowerUp = lower > lower
bool basisUp = basis > basis
int forceFull = if upperUp and lowerUp and basisUp
1 // Bullish force
else if upperDn and lowerDn and basisDn
-1 // Bearish force
else
0 // Neutral
Additional Features
Squeeze Detection - Identifies when band width contracts below threshold, often preceding large moves
Gradient Fills - Color intensity reflects force strength
Direction Change Arrows - Visual markers when force direction shifts
Dashboard Information
Force - Current force status (BULLISH/BEARISH/NEUTRAL)
Position - Price location within bands (Upper/Mid/Lower Zone)
Band Width - Current width percentage with expansion/contraction label
Volatility - Squeeze status (SQUEEZE/NORMAL)
Force Count - Bars since last force change
How to Use This Indicator
For Trend Following:
1. Enter long when force turns BULLISH
2. Enter short when force turns BEARISH
3. Exit or reduce when force turns NEUTRAL
For Squeeze Breakouts:
1. Watch for SQUEEZE status in dashboard
2. Prepare for breakout in either direction
3. Enter when force confirms direction after squeeze
For Mean Reversion:
1. Only trade mean-reversion when force is NEUTRAL
2. Avoid fading moves when force is active
3. Use band touches as entry points during neutral force
Input Parameters
Length (20) - Period for basis and standard deviation
Multiplier (2.0) - Standard deviation multiplier for bands
MA Type (SMA) - Basis calculation method
Squeeze Threshold (0.5) - Band width percentage for squeeze detection
Timeframe Recommendations
4H-Daily: Cleanest force signals
1H: Good balance of signals and reliability
15m: More signals but more noise
Limitations
Force detection can lag during rapid reversals
Squeeze breakouts can fail (false breakouts)
Works best in markets with clear trending/ranging phases

GEOFF LONG/SHORT ENTRY + STOP + TP / FINALIZED + ALERT / EMA
This professional-grade scalper is engineered specifically for the Micro E-mini S&P 500 (MES) and focuses exclusively on high-probability "A+" setups. By stripping away secondary noise, the indicator identifies surgical entries where momentum, trend, and institutional value converge.
### THE "PERFECT SETUP" LOGIC (4-LAYER FILTER)
To ensure the highest strike rate, a trade is only triggered when all four of the following conditions align:
1. TREND: 8 EMA crossing the 21 EMA (Short-term momentum shift).
2. VALUE: Price must be above VWAP for Longs or below VWAP for Shorts (Institutional bias).
3. MOMENTUM: RSI must be > 55 for Longs or < 45 for Shorts (Confirming the "Flush").
4. VOLATILITY: The entry candle must close outside the EMA spread to confirm strength.
### KEY FEATURES
* IRON-CLAD ANCHORING: Uses Pine Script v6 'chart.point' math to mathematically weld boxes and labels to the price bars. Drawings will NOT drift or lag when zooming or panning.
* DYNAMIC RISK CALCULATOR: Automatically calculates Take Profit and Stop Loss levels based on your input points. It displays the real-time dollar gain/loss ($5 per point for MES) directly on the chart.
* SURGICAL VISUALS: Features a 3-label system (Entry Price, Target Price, and Stop Price) positioned externally to keep the candlestick price action clear and visible.
* COLOR-SYNC LOGIC: Intuitively designed so that the Profit Target is ALWAYS Lime/Green and the Risk/Stop is ALWAYS Red, regardless of whether you are in a Long or Short position.
* INTEGRATED ALERTS: Includes built-in alert conditions for "Perfect Long" and "Perfect Short" to sync with phone or browser notifications.
### BEST USED ON:
Optimized for the 1m, 2m, and 5m timeframes for MES Futures.
Pullback Master Pro CareCA multi-timeframe pullback trading indicator that identifies optimal entry points during trend corrections. It combines higher timeframe trend direction with intraday momentum analysis, volume confirmation, and RSI extremes to signal high-probability reversal points when price pulls back against the primary trend.
Perfect for swing traders and scalpers looking to enter with institutional flow at key support/resistance levels with multiple confirmation filters.
W/D/4HR OTE Aligner (V6) - Alerts This indicator is a multi-timeframe (MTF) alignment and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) alert tool designed for discretionary manual trading on the 15-minute timeframe.
Here is a description of its core functionality:
W/D/4HR OTE Aligner (V6) - Alerts
This custom TradingView indicator assists manual traders by identifying high-probability trading setups that meet specific structural and momentum criteria across multiple timeframes. It does not place trades automatically but generates a "Trade Signal" used for setting up reliable alerts.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Bias Confirmation: The indicator uses a 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to confirm that the Weekly, Daily, and 4-Hour timeframes are all aligned in the same direction (all above for bullish, all below for bearish). This provides a strong directional bias.
OTE Zone Identification: It dynamically calculates recent swing highs and lows on the 4-hour chart (using reliable pivot detection) and highlights the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zone, typically centered around the 0.618 Fibonacci Retracement level.
15-Minute Entry Signal: Once price enters the OTE zone within the aligned trend direction, the indicator looks for a confirmation entry signal on the 15-minute chart, specifically a 9-period EMA crossing the 20-period EMA.
Manual Alert System: A transparent "Trade Signal" plot provides the trigger source for a manual TradingView alert, notifying the user exactly when all criteria are met for a potential long or short trade entry.
This indicator is a tool for finding precise entry points within dominant, confirmed trends.
for clarity i built this using Google AI to help with being away from the charts it reflects how i wish to progress on my journey so any tips or feed back with me much appreciated
Auto Session Fib (Daily / Weekly)Session-Anchored Fibonacci (RTH Only)
Automatically tracks the Regular Trading Hours session (09:30–16:00).
Fibonacci levels are built only from session high and low, not overnight noise.
Levels dynamically update throughout the session and anchor precisely at 09:30.
Session levels plotted:
High / Low
50% retracement
61.8%, 78.6%, 88.6% (bullish and bearish interpretations)
These levels are intended for intraday execution, not bias.
2️⃣ Previous Week Fibonacci (Market Context)
Displays previous week High, Low, and Fibonacci retracements.
Lines are confined strictly to the prior week (no overlap into the current week).
Levels are shown in a faint gray to distinguish context from execution.
Each key fib level includes descriptive labels, not just numbers:
61.8% → Golden Zone anchor
78.6% → Deep pullback / last defense
88.6% → Trend failure / trap zone
These are decision-framing levels, designed to help identify where trends either hold or fail.
3️⃣ Previous Day Extension Zones (Expansion Targets)
Calculates previous day range and projects:
+1.618 / +1.786
−1.618 / −1.786
Draws filled zones (no borders) between:
1.618 ↔ 1.786
−1.618 ↔ −1.786
Boxes extend only across the current RTH session.
These zones represent expansion / exhaustion areas, not reversal signals by themselves.
4️⃣ RSI Turn Signals (Clean, Non-Repainting)
Uses a standard RSI, with:
Adjustable length
Adjustable overbought / oversold levels
Optional independent RSI timeframe (can differ from chart TF)
Signals trigger only on a turn, not while RSI remains extreme:
Buy: RSI crosses up through oversold
Sell: RSI crosses down through overbought
This indicator is built to answer three questions:
Where am I relative to important structure?
Is price extended or mean-reverting?
Is there a confirmed momentum turn?
ICT OTE - Clean v6 (Indicator)ICT OTE — Indicator (Pine v6)
Comprehensive Guide & Rule-Based Trade Plan
This guide explains how to read and trade the Pine v6 indicator version of ICT’s Optimal Trade Entry (OTE). It covers chart elements, the 62–79% OTE zone (with 70.5% mid), confirmation logic, kill-zone gating, rule-based entries/stops/targets, and practical workflows.
1. Overview
The Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) is a core ICT concept that locates high-probability entries inside a Fibonacci retracement window between 62% and 79%, with 70.5% often used as a precise mid level. The indicator highlights that zone for the latest impulse (swing low to swing high for bullish, swing high to swing low for bearish), prints signal labels when price retraces into the box and a confirmation candle forms, and plots visual stop-loss and 1R/2R targets from your chosen entry line (62/70.5/79).
2. What the Indicator Draws
• OTE Box (62–79%): A green box for bullish OTE (drawn between 62% and 79% of the latest bullish impulse) and a red box for bearish OTE (drawn between 62% and 79% retracement of the latest bearish impulse).
• 70.5% Mid Line: A horizontal line through the OTE box at 70.5% (optional).
• Entry Line: Your selected entry reference: Top 62%, Mid 70.5%, or Bottom 79%.
• Signal Labels: ‘OTE Long’ appears when price touches the bullish OTE box and a confirmation candle prints; ‘OTE Short’ for the bearish side.
• Stop-Loss Guide: For longs: swing low of the dealing range; for shorts: swing high of the dealing range (visual plot).
• 1R/2R Target Lines: Two projected lines from the chosen entry to visualize 1R and 2R objectives (purely visual).
• Kill-Zone Shading (optional): Grey shading during London, NY-AM, and NY-PM windows, if gating is enabled.
3. Inputs & Settings
• Pivot Left/Right: Swing detection for impulses using pivot highs/lows (default 3/3).
• Draw OTE Box: Toggle drawing the 62–79% zone.
• Plot 70.5% Mid Line: Toggle the mid-line inside OTE.
• Entry Line: Choose the visual entry anchor (62% / 70.5% / 79%).
• Confirmation: Require a strong candle (default: close > open + continuation vs prior bar for longs; inverse for shorts).
• Stop/Targets: Toggle plotting the swing SL and 1R/2R targets.
• Kill-Zone Gating: If enabled, signals only fire in London (02:00–05:00 NY), NY-AM (08:00–11:00 NY), and NY-PM (13:00–15:00 NY).
• OTE Box Opacity: Adjust visual opacity of the box (default 85).
4. Rule-Based Entry Model
Use these steps exactly; do not skip.
1. Window: Optional — ensure you are inside an ICT kill-zone (London / NY-AM / NY-PM) if gating is enabled.
2. Impulse: Confirm the latest dealing range (pivot-based). Bullish = last swing low precedes last swing high; bearish = last swing high precedes last swing low.
3. OTE Box: Ensure price retraces into the 62–79% zone for the active impulse.
4. Confirmation: Wait for the required confirmation candle (strong or basic, per setting).
5. Entry Anchor: Use your selected line (62/70.5/79) as the reference for planning the fill.
6. Stops: Place SL at the swing extreme of the dealing range (longs: swing low; shorts: swing high).
7. Targets: Map 1R and 2R visual levels from the entry. Optionally prefer opposite liquidity or prior swing if closer (manual).
5. How to Read the Chart Step-by-Step
• Check background shading: are you inside a kill-zone (if enabled)?
• Identify the latest swing high/low markers (dealing range).
• Locate the OTE box for that impulse; confirm price retraced into the box.
• Inspect the confirmation candle: strong body and continuation (for longs: close > open AND close > prior high; for shorts: mirror).
• Use the entry line (62/70.5/79) as the reference; map SL and 1R/2R lines.
• If a signal label prints (‘OTE Long’ or ‘OTE Short’), you have alignment: timing, retracement, and confirmation.
6. Examples
Example Long (NY-AM): Price makes an impulse up (swing low then swing high). During NY-AM kill-zone, price retraces into the green OTE box. A strong bullish candle forms. Entry reference: 70.5% mid. SL at the swing low. Visual TP1/TP2 at 1R/2R.
Example Short (London): Price makes a bearish impulse (swing high then swing low). During London kill-zone, price retraces into the red OTE box. A strong bearish candle forms. Entry reference: 62%. SL at the swing high. Visual TP1/TP2 at 1R/2R.
7. Risk Management
• Fixed percent per trade: e.g., 1% risk relative to account equity (visual targets help sizing).
• One signal per kill-zone window: avoid overtrading inside the same hour.
• Respect invalidations: if a full body closes through the entire box or structure fails, stand down.
• Favor time/volatility windows for execution; avoid thin hours unless testing.
8. Common Pitfalls
• Forcing entries outside OTE: wait for a proper 62–79% retrace.
• Ignoring impulse definition: use confirmed pivots to avoid measuring from noise.
• Skipping confirmation: entries without a qualifying candle are lower quality.
• Inconsistent stops: SL belongs at the impulse extreme; avoid random micro-level stops.
• No timing discipline: kill-zone gating exists to filter low-probability periods.
9. Indicator Parameters — Quick Reference
• Pivot Left/Right: controls swing detection sensitivity (higher = stricter).
• Entry line: choose between 62%, 70.5%, and 79% for your signal anchor.
• Confirmation strength: toggle strong vs basic candle validation.
• Kill-zone gating: optional session-based signal filtering.
• Opacity/colors: cosmetic; adjust to your chart style.
10. Workflow Checklist
• Is the impulse correctly identified (pivot low/high order)?
• Is price inside the OTE box (62–79%)?
• Did the confirmation candle print?
• Is signal gating satisfied (if enabled)?
• Is SL mapped to the impulse extreme?
• Are 1R/2R levels clear from the entry?
• Any scheduled macro events in the window? (avoid surprise volatility).

Adaptive MA SuperTrend 3.0The Adaptive MA SuperTrend 3.0 is a 3rd Generation of the SuperTrend indicator focused on improving accuracy while maintaining high speeds to capture ANY trend the market has to offer and allow investors/traders from beginner to advanced and beyond to gain a unique insight on what is happening with the markets.
How does it work?
The indicator uses a Moving Average as a base for the SuperTrend and adapts it to market environments.
It uses averages to find if short-term, medium-term or long-term have the highest avg. volume/ATR/Standard Deviation. Whichever period has the highest avg. is the length that will be used for the moving average.
Then it smooths it slightly to give a smoother result to finish the job.
That leaves us with high speed & accurate signals that adapt to any environment.
Enjoy!

RSI Bollinger Band and Trend Confidence Gauge█ RSI BB Trend Confidence Gauge (ADX/DMI)
Cross-checks Trend + Momentum + Strength in real time so you focus on VERIFIED conditions.
Most of us have been there: you see a move starting, you jump in, and the market immediately turns into a sideways chop-fest that eats your stop. This is a simple dashboard that forces the market to “prove itself” before you put capital at risk.
█ WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?
Most indicators are “Yes/No” machines — they fire signals anytime two lines cross, even when the market is weak, noisy, or range-bound. This script is a Quality Filter .
Instead of asking “Is price moving?”, it asks: “Is the move backed by alignment, momentum, and strength?”
VERIFIED only appears when all three agree, helping you avoid low-probability chop and “no-trade” consolidation zones.
█ QUICK START
• UP + VERIFIED + High ➔ “A-Tier” state; favor pullbacks or continuation.
• DOWN + VERIFIED + High ➔ bearish control is real; avoid dip-buying.
• Conflict (gray) ➔ indicators disagree; step aside and wait for alignment.
• R or B markers ➔ overextension warnings; don’t chase into extremes.
█ THE "ANTI-CHOP" ENGINE
Trading is probability, not guessing. This script uses a 3-stage logic gate to verify conditions:
• 1) The Trend (HMA 13/34): Hull Moving Averages provide a fast, smooth regime filter. If fast vs. slow isn’t clean, the regime isn’t ready.
• 2) The Fuel (RSI 50): A trend without momentum is a trap. UP/DOWN only prints when RSI confirms.
• 3) The Proof (ADX/DMI): Final gate. VERIFIED only appears when ADX ≥ 22 and DI+/DI- agrees . If strength isn’t there, stay sidelined.
█ VISUALS YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE
• Live Dashboard: Bottom-center snapshot of RSI, Direction (UP/DOWN/Conflict), VERIFIED status, and Confidence tier (Low/Med/High).
• Exhaustion Markers: Orange icons when price is extended: "R" for RSI extremes and "B" for Bollinger Band hits. These flag caution zones.
• Trend Ribbon: Zero-line bias bar: Lime (bullish), Red (bearish), Gray (conflict/chop risk).
█ SETTINGS
• Action ADX Minimum (default 22): Want stricter verification? Try 25. Want earlier signals? Try 20 (higher noise/risk).
