Yen Carry Composite Index + Macro Flow GaugeWhat This Indicator Does
This chart visualizes the strength, trend, and macro conditions supporting or weakening the yen carry trade a strategy where investors borrow in low yielding yen to invest in higher yielding assets
How It Works: Core Components
Composite Index (Blue Line):
A weighted blend of z-scores from:
USD/JPY (strength of USD vs JPY)
10Y yield spread (US – Japan)
AUD/JPY (risk proxy for carry appetite)
VIX (global risk sentiment, inverted)
Z-scores normalize each input to show how far it deviates from recent history (not raw values).
Positive composite trend ⬅️ strong carry environment
Negative composite trend ➡️ signs of unwind or stress
Individual Z-Score Lines:
🟥 USD/JPY
🟩 Yield Spread (US10Y − JP10Y)
🟪 FX Proxy (AUD/JPY)
🟦 VIX (risk sentiment)
Threshold Lines & Signal Markers:
Green 🟢⬅️🟢🟢 “carry active” threshold (+1.5 std dev)
Red dashed line 🔴➡️🔴🔴→ “carry unwind risk” (−1.5 std dev)
Carry Trade Strength Gauge (Horizontal Bar, Bottom-Right) www.tradingview.com
Slots:
🟢 = strong carry inflow conditions
⚪ = neutral midpoint
🔴 = outflow / unwind pressure
A directional arrow (⬅️ or ➡️) shows momentum:
➡️ = composite rising → improving carry environment
⬅️ = composite falling → deteriorating carry conditions
Arrow is placed at the current strength level, visually combining position + momentum
Labels “Inflows” and “Outflows” flank the bar for clarity
Use Case Summary
Macro risk overlay for JPY pairs, EM FX, bond carry strategies
Detect early unwind phases (e.g. if arrow ⬅️ appears in red zone)
Confirm entry/exit in directional JPY trades or expected liquidity to enter the markets
Project Pegasus ChronosDescription
Project Pegasus Chronos is the flagship volume-intelligence overlay of the Pegasus suite, built for traders who read the tape. It spots where the tape gets hit, where moves get absorbed, and when pressure flips — in real time, without repainting. Chronos blends high-signal volume spikes, absorption, pure-delta mismatches, and two crisp market-pressure HUDs into one surgical visualization that stays readable even on noisy charts.
What’s unique
Layered volume intelligence that cuts through noise: spikes, absorption, delta traps, trend bias, and pressure — at a glance.
Absorption Engine – Proprietary scoring of wick/body/delta context to flag “hit & hold” moments where moves stall.
Pure-Delta Mismatch Bubbles – Instantly reveal fake strength or weakness when the candle fights the tape.
Mirage Filters (Add-on) – Smart VolSpike & PriceClamp regime tags (squeeze vs. burst) for clean entries and exits.
Pegasus TrendDynamic – Adaptive bias band with one-look flips and optional shadow fill for context.
Dual HUDs – Buy/Sell Volume HUD and Market Pressure HUD with a Shock badge for sudden impulses.
Readable by Design – Color presets, clustering, absolute filters, and performance scopes (12/24/48/72H) keep charts fast & clean.
Non-repainting – Signals are produced only on confirmed bars; no lookahead.
How it works
Chronos aggregates recent market behavior into simple, decisive visuals:
Bubbles scale by spike tier and direction to highlight initiative participation.
Absorption marks flag bars where flow hits and fails to push through.
Pure-delta markers expose liquidity traps (delta vs. candle color).
TrendDynamic provides a smooth, adaptive bias rail.
HUDs quantify who’s pressing harder and when a shock event fires.
How to use
Stalk large bubbles near key levels; pair them with absorption marks to time fades or continuations.
Treat pure-delta mismatches as early trap signals — especially near session highs/lows or FVGs.
Trade in alignment with the TrendDynamic bias; use Market Pressure HUD & Shock to time adds or cuts.
Refine visuals via clustering and absolute-volume filters on fast instruments.
Notes & limitations
Built for intraday futures, crypto, and FX — but works across assets and timeframes.
If visuals get heavy, use scope, clustering, and filters to keep it buttery smooth.

Anchored Session Volume Profile • Heatmap Profiles • Asia/EU/US Description
This indicator builds Anchored Session Volume Profiles for Asia, EU, and US sessions on intraday charts and renders them as right-docked line histograms (heatmap or classic style). Each session computes its own POC, VAH, VAL and optional Session High/Low lines. An optional per-price-bin Delta overlay estimates buy/sell pressure inside the profile rows for quick order-flow context.
What’s unique
Three independent session anchors (Asia/EU/US) with custom start/end times, bin size in ticks, and Value Area %.
Right-fixed live rendering or post-close persistence (draw levels only after the session closes).
Adaptive width: profile width scales with elapsed session length (anchor → now/end) within user limits.
Heatmap profile: row tint scales by relative volume; or Classic single-color with optional gradient.
Per-row Delta ticks (outside/inside, configurable direction) derived from bar delta and overlap with each price bin.
Clean POC/VAH/VAL line styling, optional ray extension, and Session High/Low rays per session.
How it works (technical)
Binning: Rows are built with a user-defined bin height in ticks. Arrays expand/shrink as price extends; the base is shifted when new lows appear to keep bins aligned.
Accumulation: For each bar within the active session window, traded volume is distributed to intersecting bins proportionally to the price overlap with that bin.
Value Area: POC is the highest-volume bin. VA is grown symmetrically around the POC until the selected coverage (VA%) is reached.
Delta per bin (optional): A bar-level delta proxy volume * (close − open) / range (clamped) is split into buy/sell and allocated to bins proportionally to the same overlap share, producing a per-row delta magnitude for rendering ticks.
Rendering modes:
Right fixed: refreshes each bar; lines/histogram are docked at the anchor X-position.
Draw Levels after Session Close: on close, only POC/VAH/VAL (and optional Session High/Low) are persisted.
No lookahead: All computations use confirmed bars; levels are deterministic on close.
How to use
Use the Asia/EU/US profiles to read participation hand-offs and session-driven rotations.
Trade off POC/VAH/VAL as acceptance/rejection references; confluence with session High/Low often marks responsive flows.
Employ Delta ticks per row to spot absorption, one-sided stacking, or fading participation inside the profile without leaving TradingView.
Prefer right-fixed during live trading and post-close when you want persistent session levels.
Key settings
General per session: Start/End (hh:mm), Bin size (ticks), Value Area %, toggle POC/VAH/VAL lines.
Rendering: Heatmap vs. Classic, orientation (Left/Right), gradient on/off, row thickness, right offset, adaptive width limits.
Delta (per price bin): global on/off, per-session on/off, tick width, max tick length (bars), outside/inside placement, direction (sign-based / always left / always right), colors.
Levels: POC/VAH/VAL styles (solid/dashed/dotted), widths, colors, extend right (ray).
Session High/Low: per-session on/off, style, width, colors, optional right-ray extension.
Notes & limitations
Designed for intraday data; accuracy depends on the feed’s volume granularity.
Large histories + small bins + delta ticks can be heavy; tune bin size, adaptive width, and delta max length for performance.
Timezone for anchors is set internally to Europe/Berlin.

Volume Pivot ZoneOverview
This indicator automatically draws boxes on your chart to show important price levels based on high trading volume.
What It Does:
Finds High Volume Spots: It detects bars where the trading volume hits a peak (a "pivot").
Draws Zones: It draws a box around the high and low of that high-volume bar and extends it to the right.
Shows Different Timeframes: You can see zones from your current chart's timeframe (CTF) and a higher timeframe (HTF) at the same time. HTF zones are usually more significant.
Manages Old Zones: Once the price touches or breaks through a zone, the indicator can automatically hide or remove it, keeping your chart clean.
Settings:
Higher Timeframe Section
- CTF Show / HTF Show: Turn the zones for the current (CTF) or higher (HTF) timeframe on or off.
- 1Min:, 5Min:, etc.: Set which higher timeframe to use for your current chart. For example, you can tell it to show 1-hour zones on your 5-minute chart.
Volume Pivot Zone Section
- Show High: Draws zones based on volume peaks. (Most common)
- Show Low: Draws zones based on volume valleys.
- Lookback Length: How many bars to the left and right to check for a volume peak. A higher number finds only the most significant peaks.
- Invalidation Condition: When to consider a zone "used up." For example, Touch means the zone is invalidated as soon as the price touches it.
- Action: What to do with an invalidated zone. Remove deletes it, while Hide just makes it disappear.
- Color Settings: Customize the colors of the zones to your liking.
Liquidity Zones - Joe v1This script lets you plot liquidity/order levels (similar to what you see on Bookmap) directly on your TradingView chart.
It is designed to help traders spot support/resistance levels where large limit orders sit and to visualize whether those liquidity pools are still active, already taken, or being replenished.
Key Features
Session-based
Works during a defined trading session.
Resets automatically at the first bar of the session.
Up to 8 Liquidity Zones, each of which includes:
Price level
Size (affects line thickness)
Status (Active, Taken, Re-Stocking, or Automatic).
Zone Statuses
Active → Untouched liquidity (potential support/resistance).
Taken → Liquidity consumed after price trades through it.
Re-Stocking → Level is being reloaded with fresh orders.
Automatic → Updates dynamically (switches to Taken when crossed, otherwise stays Active).
Visual Representation
Zones are drawn as horizontal lines.
Labels show price + size (e.g., 4010 (200k)).
Customizable line styles and colors:
Active = solid red
Taken = gray dashed
Re-Stocking = purple dotted
Dynamic Updates
Levels automatically update during the session.
If price crosses a zone → it’s marked as Taken.
Labels, line styles, and colors adjust live.
Line thickness = zone size ÷ 10 → visually represents liquidity strength.
How this indicator is Used
Upon market open, the order book tends to fill with limit orders. Using Bookmap, you can see where these orders are placed at each relative price point, along with their sizes. The most important ones to focus on are the larger levels, which are typically highlighted in reddish tones (depending on your Bookmap settings).
I then manually enter these levels into this indicator. It only takes a few seconds, and since there’s no direct way to connect TradingView to Bookmap, this method works as an effective workaround. Once entered, the levels will stay visible on your TradingView chart.
This seemingly simple script is very powerful and provides a strong edge. More often than not, price action gravitates toward these larger liquidity levels. Remember, the price of a security is influenced by market makers whose role is to fill orders and earn commissions on transactions. They have little interest in arbitrarily pushing price higher or lower; instead, their primary function is to guide price toward liquidity—where the large orders sit.
Of course, this is a general principle, and many other variables can affect price movement. Still, by keeping this concept in mind, you’ll often find yourself on the right side of the market.
Triple VWAP [JopAlgo]Triple VWAP — three volume-weighted rails for trend, pullback, and reversion
Core idea
This is three rolling VWAPs (VWMA-style) with user-set lengths. Together they show:
Trend structure → stack & slope of the three lines
Pullback zones → dynamic VWAP supports/resistances
Reversion risk → distance from the fastest VWAP
Use the stack (fast/medium/slow) for bias, slope for momentum, and distance to avoid chasing.
What you’ll see
VWAP 1 (fast), VWAP 2 (medium), VWAP 3 (slow)
Colors match inputs; each line can be toggled on/off
No bands or extras—just three clean volume-weighted rails
Read it fast → Which line is on top? Are they fanning out or braiding? How far is price from the fast VWAP?
How to use it (simple playbook)
Direction filter
Bullish bias → fast above medium above slow and slopes ↗
Bearish bias → fast below medium below slow and slopes ↘
Entry timing
Trend pullback (with level): In a bullish stack, wait for price to retest fast/medium VWAP at a real level → look for the first higher-low and continuation.
Reclaim / reject: Long when price reclaims fast → medium with holds (mirror for shorts on rejects).
Don’t chase: If price is far above the fast VWAP, wait for a revert toward fast before engaging.
Location first (always)
Act at real references → Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) and Anchored VWAP
No level → no trade
Quality check (optional)
CVDv1 → prefer Alignment OK, avoid entries when Absorption reads against your side
Entries, exits, risk
Continuation long: Bullish stack ↗, pullback into fast/medium at VAL / AVWAP / LVN, hold → enter
Stop → below structure/last swing • Targets → POC/HVNs or prior swing
Break + retest: Price crosses medium and holds above it, lines begin to fan out ↗ → enter on the retest
Fade to value (advanced): Extended move into VAH with price stretched far from fast VWAP → look for reject and revert toward POC/fast
Trim/Avoid: Into HVNs with lines flattening or braiding → take profits / stand down
Settings that matter (and how to tune)
VWAP Length 1 / 2 / 3 → choose a fast / medium / slow ladder
Shorter = more reactive, more noise
Longer = steadier bias, more lag
Visibility toggles → hide one line if cluttered; many traders keep fast & slow only
Starter presets
Scalp (1–5m) → 20 / 50 / 100
Intraday (15m–1H) → 50 / 100 / 200
Swing (2H–4H) → 50 / 150 / 300
High-vol pairs → 30 / 60 / 120
Pattern cheat sheet
Stack flip: Fast crosses medium, then slow, and all slopes turn ↗ / ↘ → regime change
Triple pinch → expansion: Lines braid tight, then fan out with price holding a level → expansion leg
Kiss & go: Pullback tags fast VWAP in trend and bounces → add/enter with structure
Mean-revert tag: Stretch away from fast into VP edge → revert toward fast/POC
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2 → entries at VAH/VAL/LVNs, targets at POC/HVNs
Anchored VWAP → session/weekly/event anchors for major reclaims/rejections; use Triple VWAP for day-to-day timing
CVDv1 (optional) → take VWAP-aligned setups with flow; skip when Absorption is against you
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Trading against the VWAP stack
Chasing far from the fast VWAP
Acting mid-range while lines braid (do less; wait for expansion or edges)

ZTCRYPTOLAB - Liquidity (v1.8.4)ZTCRYPTOLAB — Liquidation
See the market’s likely liquidation pockets as clean, readable “heat bars.”
The script groups nearby levels into a single bar, sizes the bar by strength, shows a compact value label (K/M/B/T) inside the bar, and automatically fades levels once price takes them out.
What it does (plain-English)
Finds likely liquidation zones above and below current price at three “tiers” (roughly like 25× / 50× / 100×).
Groups nearby levels into one clear bar so your chart doesn’t turn into spaghetti.
Makes stronger zones look wider (more eye-catching) and prints a value pill in K/M/B/T so you can compare strength at a glance.
Fades levels once they’re hit so you instantly see what’s still in play vs. what was already taken.
Quick start (how to use)
Add to chart on the symbol/timeframe you trade.
In the settings, the only control most traders touch is “Max live levels (Top-N)”.
Lower = cleaner, only the best zones.
Higher = more detail.
Zoom out to view big cluster magnets. Zoom in to see them split into more precise lines.
Use wide, nearby bars as targets, magnets, or caution zones. Combine with your entries, stop placement, and risk rules.
Tip: For very busy charts, start with Top-N around 80–100 on intraday, 40–80 on swing. Raise only if you need more context.
Inputs you’ll actually use
Max live levels (Top-N): Caps how many live bars can appear after pruning. Everything else is tuned for clarity out-of-the-box.
(Pre-tuned so you don’t have to fiddle)
Reference price: HLCC4 (balanced)
Density: Fine (crisper separation)
Tier-1 (25×) sensitivity slightly boosted so you see more actionable near-term zones
How to read the chart
Bar color = Tier (25× / 50× / 100×).
Bar width = Relative strength (wider = stronger).
Value pill = Strength in K/M/B/T.
Faded bar = That pocket was taken by price—left for context, no longer active.
Suggested setups by timeframe
Scalping (1–5m): Top-N 80–120. Expect bars to merge more when zoomed out; zoom in for fine detail.
Intraday (15–60m): Top-N 80–100. Balanced view of magnets around current session.
Swing (4H–1D): Top-N 40–80. Use the longest-standing wide clusters as swing targets/areas of interest.
Best practices
Treat bars as areas, not razor-thin lines.
Look for confluence (e.g., HTF levels, fair value gaps, session highs/lows).
Use wide nearby bars to scale out or tighten risk, not as the only reason to trade.

Basic Odds Enhancer: Supply Zone for ShortsHow to Use/Adjust:
On your chart, it marks bars where a 20-bar high coincides with high volume and bearish divergence—flag these as supply zones.
Tweak supply_threshold to 2.0 for stricter volume (fewer but stronger signals).
For zones, manually draw rectangles around the flagged area (use Drawing Tools > Rectangle).
Backtest: Apply to historical data (e.g., EUR/USD 4H) and check win rate with shorts on retests.
This setup typically yields 2-5 signals per week on major pairs, depending on volatility. Test on a demo account, and combine with market context (e.g., avoid shorts in strong uptrends).
Odds Enhancer: Volume + RSI DivHow it Works: This flags potential demand zones where price hits a 20-bar low with a volume spike and bullish RSI divergence. Customize for supply zones by flipping logic.

Elliott Wave Oscillator [JopAlgo]Elliott Wave Oscillator — a simple impulse meter that tells you when the move has “real push”
If price is the story, impulse is the emotion behind each chapter. The Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO) is a clean way to see that emotion: it’s just the difference between a fast and a slow moving average. When the fast MA pulls away from the slow MA, the histogram grows; when they come back together, it shrinks. Above zero = bullish impulse; below zero = bearish impulse.
EWO keeps the math honest and the read effortless:
Choose SMA, EMA, or a volume-weighted average for each side (the “VWAP” option here uses a rolling VWMA over the chosen length).
A zero line anchors the read (bull vs bear).
Bars color by slope: rising = building momentum, falling = momentum fading.
(For screenshots: image #1 label the zero line, rising/falling bars, and a zero cross. Image #2 show a strong impulse leg hugging one side of zero, then fading into a pullback.)
What you’re seeing (and how it’s built)
Short MA (default 5) and Long MA (default 35) are computed using your selected MA Type (SMA, EMA, or rolling volume-weighted).
EWO = Short MA − Long MA.
EWO > 0: fast MA above slow → bullish impulse.
EWO < 0: fast MA below slow → bearish impulse.
Histogram colors:
Green bar: EWO increasing vs previous bar (momentum building).
Red bar: EWO decreasing (momentum waning).
Alerts: fire when EWO crosses the zero line (bullish or bearish “trend shift” heads-up).
New to this? Think of EWO as a throttle: above zero the engine is pushing forward; below zero it’s pushing backward. The height shows how hard it’s pushing; the color shows if that push is growing or fading right now.
How to use EWO on any timeframe
Same framework everywhere—what changes is your location and targets (from your other tools).
Scalping (1–5m)
Breakout confirmation: Only chase a micro-break if EWO flips above zero and grows green as price leaves a level (VAL/LVN/AVWAP). If it flips then immediately shrinks red, that’s your “don’t chase” warning.
Pullback timing: In a quick trend, wait for EWO to dip but stay above zero, then turn green again. That flip is often your pullback end.
Intraday (15m–1H)
Continuation filter: After a level break, ride as long as EWO stays on your side of zero. The first red bar while still above zero is a cue to partial or tighten stops.
Failed break tell: A poke through VAH/VAL with EWO still near zero (no expansion) is often a trap. Prefer retest/reclaim trades.
Swing (2H–4H)
Impulse leg ID: Strong trends show an EWO “bulge” (wide, mostly green bars above zero for longs). When that bulge shrinks back toward zero, look for mean-reversion to AVWAP/POC before the next leg.
Divergence (lightweight): Price makes a higher high, but EWO tops at a lower peak → impulse is weaker; plan for retrace to value.
Position (1D–1W)
Regime bias: Weeks where EWO lives above zero are net constructive; below zero are net distributive. Use that as a backdrop for adds/reductions at your higher-TF levels (Weekly AVWAP, composite VAL/VAH).
Entries, exits, and risk (simple rules)
Entry: At your level (from VP/AVWAP), take the side where EWO is on the correct side of zero and turning green (for longs) or red→green below zero for shorts? Careful—below zero, red means waning bear impulse. For shorts, you want EWO < 0 and increasing in magnitude (i.e., more negative) which still paints red in this script? Here’s the practical translation:
Longs: EWO > 0 and rising (green bar).
Shorts: EWO < 0 and falling (more negative vs prior bar). In this script, that also paints red—which is correct for building bearish impulse.
Manage: If your long was driven by EWO above zero, consider reducing when bars turn red repeatedly or EWO rolls back toward zero at your target node.
Invalidation: A zero cross against you after entry is a hard warning—tighten or exit unless higher-TF context strongly favors holding.
Stops: Place beyond the price level/structure you used, not on an EWO flip alone.
Settings that actually matter (and how to tune them)
MA Type (SMA / EMA / VWAP):
EMA: most responsive; great for scalping/fast intraday.
SMA: smoother; better for swings where you want fewer false wiggles.
VWAP (rolling VWMA): weights price by volume over your length—nice on pairs where volume behavior matters. (Note: this is a rolling VWMA, not an anchored session VWAP.)
Short/Long Lengths (default 5/35):
Shorter/faster (e.g., 4/20) → earlier flips, more noise.
Longer/slower (e.g., 8/50) → fewer but stronger signals.
Keep the ratio—something like 1:4 to 1:6—so the “bulge” is meaningful.
Zero-cross alerts: leave them on but treat as heads-up, not entries in isolation. You still want location + flow.
What to look for (pattern cheatsheet)
Impulse bulge: Wide, consecutive bars above zero (mostly green) → trend leg in progress. Expect shallow pullbacks only.
Pullback reset: After a leg, EWO shrinks but stays above zero, then flips green again → pullback likely done.
No-juice breakout: Price pokes the level but EWO stays near zero / flips red quickly → skip the chase; look for reclaim setups.
Divergence at extremes: New price high with lower EWO peak → risk of fade to value (POC/AVWAP).
Combining EWO with other tools
Cumulative Volume Delta v1 (CVDv1):
Use EWO for impulse, CVDv1 for quality. Best trades line up as:
EWO > 0 and increasing + CVDv1 ALIGN = OK + Imbalance strong + Absorption ≠ red → take the breakout/retest.
If EWO says “go” but CVDv1 flags Absorption, don’t chase.
Volume Profile v3.2:
Use VAH/VAL/LVNs/POC as where. EWO tells you if the push has fuel to leave/enter value.
Example: VAL retest with EWO turning up → rotate to POC/HVN.
Anchored VWAP:
Reclaims are higher quality when EWO flips above zero on the reclaim bar and holds green on the first pullback.
(Optional mention in screenshots: show a VAH break where EWO bulges and CVDv1 shows Alignment OK—clean continuation.)
Common pitfalls EWO helps you avoid
Buying a break with no impulse: Zero-line hugs and shrinking bars tell you the fast MA isn’t pulling away—skip.
Fading a real leg: Wide, persistent bars on one side of zero = don’t fight; use pullbacks to value instead.
Confusing volume-weighted vs anchored VWAP: The “VWAP” choice here is a rolling VWMA over the lookback, not a session/event AVWAP. Use Anchored VWAP when you need the true event-anchored line.
Practical defaults to start with
MA Type: EMA
Short/Long: 5 / 35

RSI MACD CLOCKWORK TABLEWhat you get, at a glance:
• MACD Cell — Shows the current MACD value and a small direction icon (▲ rising, ▼ falling, ⏺ flat). The background color adapts to regime: green above zero, red below zero, gray near the line. Lengths are configurable (fast/slow/signal).
• RSI Cell — Plots the latest RSI with an identical direction icon and background logic (green above 50, red below 50, gray around 50). RSI length is configurable.
• Clockwork Row — This is the structure check. The script computes the slope (in degrees) of EMA(5), EMA(8), and EMA(13). If all three exceed your bullish threshold, you’ll see “Clockwork: Bullish” (lime). If all three are below your bearish threshold, you’ll see “Clockwork: Bearish” (red). Otherwise, it’s “Neutral” (gray). Thresholds are fully user-tunable.
Smart right-hand cell (choose your readout):
• Duplicate — Mirrors the Clockwork label.
• Time to Close — A clean mm:ss countdown for the current timeframe (with safe defaults on unusual timeframes).
• Slope Degrees — Prints the 5/8/13 EMA slopes in degrees (e.g., +12.3°).
• Slope Pack ▲▼ — Only the direction of each slope (less noise, more speed).
• EMA Spread (5↔13) — Shows the slope differential (degrees) between short and long EMAs.
• Volume Pace — Projects end-of-bar volume from live progress, compares it to your N-bar average, and renders a tiny text progress bar (██░░…) with a neutral “thermo” palette: black = hot (> high threshold), light blue = cold (< low threshold), silver = typical. All inputs (length, bar width, thresholds) are configurable.
• ATR — Current ATR with direction vs previous bar (▲/▼/⏺).
Quality-of-life:
• Optional top padding (~20px) to keep the table visually separated from other overlays.
• Lightweight string/emoji UI for clarity without heavy graphics.
• Defensive guards around timeframe math so the TTC keeps working smoothly.
How to use:
Add to any symbol/timeframe.
Set your MACD/RSI lengths and Clockwork slope thresholds to match your system’s sensitivity.
Pick a right-cell mode that complements your workflow (TTC for day trading, Volume Pace for intrabar context, ATR for volatility).
Note: This tool is informational, not a standalone signal generator. Combine the Clockwork alignment with your entries/exits and risk management.
Volume Profile v3.2 [JopAlgo]Volume Profile v3.2 — where the market actually traded, and why that matters
Price shows you where bids and offers met. Volume Profile shows you how much business was done at each price. Put simply: it maps the market’s preference. In any auction, price tends to accept and revisit heavy-traded areas and reject low-participation areas. VP v3.2 turns that logic into a clear picture you can use on any timeframe—from scalps to multi-week swings.
This version focuses on three things that matter in real trading:
a clean, configurable price–volume distribution (your profile),
key levels derived from that distribution (POC, VAH, VAL), and
a POC Shift detector that highlights structural change when the market’s center of mass moves.
If you attach screenshots to your script page, one image should label POC/VAH/VAL and the histogram shape; a second should show a POC Shift during a trend transition.
What you’re seeing (and how to read it)
The histogram you see beside price is the profile: each horizontal bar measures traded volume at that price within a chosen range. It reveals:
POC (Point of Control): the single most-traded price in your range (the market’s center of gravity).
Value Area (VA): the price band where a chosen percentage of all volume traded (default 70%). Its boundaries are the VAH (top) and VAL (bottom).
HVNs / LVNs: High-Volume Nodes (bulges) tend to attract price; Low-Volume Nodes (gaps/voids) tend to repel price and act like funnels—price often moves quickly through them, then pauses at the next HVN.
In practice: trade from value edges back to POC in balance, or trade breakouts through LVNs toward the next HVN when the auction is trending.
Choosing the range: Anchored vs Visible
Your range defines the story. VP v3.2 lets you pick it two ways:
Visible Range (default): the profile is built from the bars currently on screen. This adapts as you pan/zoom and is ideal for quick reads and intraday work.
Anchored Range: toggle “Anchored Range” and pick an Anchor Time. Now the profile starts at that timestamp and extends to the most recent bar. Use this for event-based composites (e.g., listing day, policy announcement, ETF approval), weekly/monthly composites, or to study a trend leg in isolation.
Tip: for scalping, a visible range that covers the current session is enough. For swings, anchor to the start of the move, start of the week/month, or the event that changed regime.
Important settings (why they exist, and simple defaults)
Rows: how many price buckets form the histogram. More rows = finer detail, more CPU. Start around 120; go higher when zoomed in.
Value Area %: how much volume should sit inside the VA band. 70% is standard; lower it (e.g., 60–65%) in strong trends to keep VA tight, raise it in dull balance to widen the area you consider “fair.”
Max Width, Horizontal Offset, Row Height %: purely visual—how wide the histogram can draw, how far it sits from the last bar, and how thick each row appears.
Histogram Emphasis: a gentle power curve that makes big nodes pop and tiny nodes fade. Leave at 1.0 until you know why you want more/less contrast.
FAST vs ACCURATE:
FAST puts each bar’s volume into its mid-price bucket. It’s very fast and stable for live trading.
ACCURATE spreads each bar’s volume across its full high-low range. This gives a smoother profile (especially on wide candles) at the cost of more computation.
If your machine lags, use FAST for intraday and ACCURATE when you’re doing end-of-day review.
Plot POC/VA series / Extend Left: draws POC/VAH/VAL as dotted lines and (optionally) extends them left across your chart. Extending is useful when you want those levels to act as “attractors/repellers” beyond the immediate profile.
Theme & Colors: there’s a dark/light toggle so the profile remains readable on any chart theme.
POC Shift — when “fair value” moves
Markets rotate around “fair value.” When that value shifts by a meaningful amount and sticks, the auction has changed. VP v3.2 detects this with three parameters:
Shift Min Ticks: the minimum distance POC must move to count as a new candidate.
Shift Confirm Bars: how many consecutive bars must hold that new area for the shift to be confirmed.
Shift Cooldown: how long to ignore re-triggers after a confirmed shift (avoids spamming in chop).
A POC Shift Up says buyers migrated the center of business higher (typical of an acceptance above prior value). POC Shift Down says the opposite. These are structure events: combine them with your directional tools (e.g., CVDv1’s Absorption/Efficiency read) to avoid chasing when the shift is fragile.
Using Volume Profile on any timeframe
The logic is the same everywhere: trade at value boundaries, target the POC or the next HVN, and respect LVNs as fast-pass corridors.
Scalping (1–5m charts)
Range: Visible; cover the current session or the last 2–4 hours.
Use: Fade VAH→POC and VAL→POC only when the tape supports it (e.g., CVDv1 not showing absorption against you). If price pushes into an LVN, expect fast movement to the other side—don’t fight mid-void.
Intraday (15m–1H)
Range: Visible covering the day, or Anchored to the day’s open.
Use: First seek balance trades (VAL/VAH to POC). When a real POC Shift confirms after a break, switch to trend-following: use pullbacks to prior VA boundaries as entries.
Swing (2H–4H)
Range: Anchored to start of week, start of trend leg, or major event.
Use: Enter on retests of VAL/VAH that hold, target the composite POC/HVNs. If you see sequential POC Shifts in trend direction, it’s a sign to trail rather than constantly fade back to POC.
Position (1D–1W)
Range: Anchored to YTD, quarter, or cycle low/high.
Use: Treat LVNs as structural gaps; acceptance through an LVN often leads to the next HVN. Weekly VA boundaries are strong reference levels; a weekly POC Shift is notable regime information.
How to act at the levels (a simple, durable playbook)
In balance: fade VAL/VAH back to POC—but only if your flow read doesn’t scream “absorption against you.”
In trend: ignore the first touch fade. Wait for acceptance (close outside), then use pullbacks to the broken VA boundary to join.
At LVNs: don’t expect chop. Plan for quick travel to the next HVN, place stops accordingly, and avoid mid-void entries.
Alerts (what they mean, what you do)
Cross POC / VAH / VAL: price just interacted with a key reference. Use your secondary signal (e.g., CVDv1 alignment/absorption) to decide fade vs follow.
POC Shift Up/Down: a structure change just confirmed. In balance, you may flip your bias. In trend, you can add on pullbacks toward the shifted area.
Compatible tools (optional, but powerful)
Volume Profile v3.2 is designed to work cleanly with other tools:
Cumulative Volume Delta v1 (CVDv1): lets you judge flow quality at VP levels. For example, a poke above VAH with CVD Absorption is a veto to chase—look for a failed breakout or reclaim. A retest of VAL with Imbalance strong and Alignment OK is a higher-quality bounce back to POC.
Weekly AVWAP v3 : the market’s mean/anchor. Confluence of Weekly AVWAP with VA boundaries or HVNs creates A-tier levels. Reclaims of Weekly AVWAP near VAL are excellent swing entries; rejections at Weekly AVWAP into VAH are high-quality fades in balance.
(If you post images, one good example is a VAL retest at Weekly AVWAP with CVDv1 showing “Efficient”—that story clicks instantly.)
Practical defaults
Rows: 120
Value Area: 70%
FAST mode for live work; ACCURATE for deep review or wide-range composites
Anchored Range: off (Visible) for intraday; on for weekly/monthly/“since event” studies
POC Shift: start with 10 ticks, 2 confirm bars, 10 cooldown; tighten for very small-tick futures, loosen in highly volatile regimes
Common pitfalls this solves
“Why did it stall here?” Check the profile: you hit an HVN. That’s where business likes to be done. Expect chop or mean-reversion to POC.
“Breakout straight back in.” You broke into an LVN without acceptance; or CVDv1 flagged Absorption. Wait for acceptance, then take the retest.
“Levels feel arbitrary.” POC/VAH/VAL come from where traders actually transacted, not where a simple moving average happens to sit.

Volume Based Sampling [BackQuant]Volume Based Sampling
What this does
This indicator converts the usual time-based stream of candles into an event-based stream of “synthetic” bars that are created only when enough trading activity has occurred . You choose the activity definition:
Volume bars : create a new synthetic bar whenever the cumulative number of shares/contracts traded reaches a threshold.
Dollar bars : create a new synthetic bar whenever the cumulative traded dollar value (price × volume) reaches a threshold.
The script then keeps an internal ledger of these synthetic opens, highs, lows, closes, and volumes, and can display them as candles, plot a moving average calculated over the synthetic closes, mark each time a new sample is formed, and optionally overlay the native time-bars for comparison.
Why event-based sampling matters
Markets do not release information on a clock: activity clusters during news, opens/closes, and liquidity shocks. Event-based bars normalize for that heteroskedastic arrival of information: during active periods you get more bars (finer resolution); during quiet periods you get fewer bars (coarser resolution). Research shows this can reduce microstructure pathologies and produce series that are closer to i.i.d. and more suitable for statistical modeling and ML. In particular:
Volume and dollar bars are a common event-time alternative to time bars in quantitative research and are discussed extensively in Advances in Financial Machine Learning (AFML). These bars aim to homogenize information flow by sampling on traded size or value rather than elapsed seconds.
The Volume Clock perspective models market activity in “volume time,” showing that many intraday phenomena (volatility, liquidity shocks) are better explained when time is measured by traded volume instead of seconds.
Related market microstructure work on flow toxicity and liquidity highlights that the risk dealers face is tied to information intensity of order flow, again arguing for activity-based clocks.
How the indicator works (plain English)
Choose your bucket type
Volume : accumulate volume until it meets a threshold.
Dollar Bars : accumulate close × volume until it meets a dollar threshold.
Pick the threshold rule
Dynamic threshold : by default, the script computes a rolling statistic (mean or median) of recent activity to set the next bucket size. This adapts bar size to changing conditions (e.g., busier sessions produce more frequent synthetic bars).
Fixed threshold : optionally override with a constant target (e.g., exactly 100,000 contracts per synthetic bar, or $5,000,000 per dollar bar).
Build the synthetic bar
While a bucket fills, the script tracks:
o_s: first price of the bucket (synthetic open)
h_s: running maximum price (synthetic high)
l_s: running minimum price (synthetic low)
c_s: last price seen (synthetic close)
v_s: cumulative native volume inside the bucket
d_samples: number of native bars consumed to complete the bucket (a proxy for “how fast” the threshold filled)
Emit a new sample
Once the bucket meets/exceeds the threshold, a new synthetic bar is finalized and stored. If overflow occurs (e.g., a single native bar pushes you past the threshold by a lot), the code will emit multiple synthetic samples to account for the extra activity.
Maintain a rolling history efficiently
A ring buffer can overwrite the oldest samples when you hit your Max Stored Samples cap, keeping memory usage stable.
Compute synthetic-space statistics
The script computes an SMA over the last N synthetic closes and basic descriptors like average bars per synthetic sample, mean and standard deviation of synthetic returns, and more. These are all in event time , not clock time.
Inputs and options you will actually use
Data Settings
Sampling Method : Volume or Dollar Bars.
Rolling Lookback : window used to estimate the dynamic threshold from recent activity.
Filter : Mean or Median for the dynamic threshold. Median is more robust to spikes.
Use Fixed? / Fixed Threshold : override dynamic sizing with a constant target.
Max Stored Samples : cap on synthetic history to keep performance snappy.
Use Ring Buffer : turn on to recycle storage when at capacity.
Indicator Settings
SMA over last N samples : moving average in synthetic space . Because its index is sample count, not minutes, it adapts naturally: more updates in busy regimes, fewer in quiet regimes.
Visuals
Show Synthetic Bars : plot the synthetic OHLC candles.
Candle Color Mode :
Green/Red: directional close vs open
Volume Intensity: opacity scales with synthetic size
Neutral: single color
Adaptive: graded by how large the bucket was relative to threshold
Mark new samples : drop a small marker whenever a new synthetic bar prints.
Comparison & Research
Show Time Bars : overlay the native time-based candles to visually compare how the two sampling schemes differ.
How to read it, step by step
Turn on “Synthetic Bars” and optionally overlay “Time Bars.” You will see that during high-activity bursts, synthetic bars print much faster than time bars.
Watch the synthetic SMA . Crosses in synthetic space can be more meaningful because each update represents a roughly comparable amount of traded information.
Use the “Avg Bars per Sample” in the info table as a regime signal. Falling average bars per sample means activity is clustering, often coincident with higher realized volatility.
Try Dollar Bars when price varies a lot but share count does not; they normalize by dollar risk taken in each sample. Volume Bars are ideal when share count is a better proxy for information flow in your instrument.
Quant finance background and citations
Event time vs. clock time : Easley, López de Prado, and O’Hara advocate measuring intraday phenomena on a volume clock to better align sampling with information arrival. This framing helps explain volatility bursts and liquidity droughts and motivates volume-based bars.
Flow toxicity and dealer risk : The same authors show how adverse selection risk changes with the intensity and informativeness of order flow, further supporting activity-based clocks for modeling and risk management.
AFML framework : In Advances in Financial Machine Learning , event-driven bars such as volume, dollar, and imbalance bars are presented as superior sampling units for many ML tasks, yielding more stationary features and fewer microstructure distortions than fixed time bars. ( Alpaca )
Practical use cases
1) Regime-aware moving averages
The synthetic SMA in event time is not fooled by quiet periods: if nothing of consequence trades, it barely updates. This can make trend filters less sensitive to calendar drift and more sensitive to true participation.
2) Breakout logic on “equal-information” samples
The script exposes simple alerts such as breakout above/below the synthetic SMA . Because each bar approximates a constant amount of activity, breakouts are conditioned on comparable informational mass, not arbitrary time buckets.
3) Volatility-adaptive backtests
If you use synthetic bars as your base data stream, most signal rules become self-paced : entry and exit opportunities accelerate in fast markets and slow down in quiet regimes, which often improves the realism of slippage and fill modeling in research pipelines (pair this indicator with strategy code downstream).
4) Regime diagnostics
Avg Bars per Sample trending down: activity is dense; expect larger realized ranges.
Return StdDev (synthetic) rising: noise or trend acceleration in event time; re-tune risk.
Interpreting the info panel
Method : your sampling choice and current threshold.
Total Samples : how many synthetic bars have been formed.
Current Vol/Dollar : how much of the next bucket is already filled.
Bars in Bucket : native bars consumed so far in the current bucket.
Avg Bars/Sample : lower means higher trading intensity.
Avg Return / Return StdDev : return stats computed over synthetic closes .
Research directions you can build from here
Imbalance and run bars
Extend beyond pure volume or dollar thresholds to imbalance bars that trigger on directional order flow imbalance (e.g., buy volume minus sell volume), as discussed in the AFML ecosystem. These often further homogenize distributional properties used in ML. alpaca.markets
Volume-time indicators
Re-compute classical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger) on the synthetic stream. The premise is that signals are updated by traded information , not seconds, which may stabilize indicator behavior in heteroskedastic regimes.
Liquidity and toxicity overlays
Combine synthetic bars with proxies of flow toxicity to anticipate spread widening or volatility clustering. For instance, tag synthetic bars that surpass multiples of the threshold and test whether subsequent realized volatility is elevated.
Dollar-risk parity sampling for portfolios
Use dollar bars to align samples across assets by notional risk, enabling cleaner cross-asset features and comparability in multi-asset models (e.g., correlation studies, regime clustering). AFML discusses the benefits of event-driven sampling for cross-sectional ML feature engineering.
Microstructure feature set
Compute duration in native bars per synthetic sample , range per sample , and volume multiple of threshold as inputs to state classifiers or regime HMMs . These features are inherently activity-aware and often predictive of short-horizon volatility and trend persistence per the event-time literature. ( Alpaca )
Tips for clean usage
Start with dynamic thresholds using Median over a sensible lookback to avoid outlier distortion, then move to Fixed thresholds when you know your instrument’s typical activity scale.
Compare time bars vs synthetic bars side by side to develop intuition for how your market “breathes” in activity time.
Keep Max Stored Samples reasonable for performance; the ring buffer avoids memory creep while preserving a rolling window of research-grade data.
