Gap Open DetectorIndicator Note: Gap Open Detector
What This Indicator Does
This indicator helps you spot significant price gaps at the start of new candles compared to the previous candle’s close. A gap means the current candle’s opening price is noticeably higher or lower than the previous candle’s closing price.
Gap Up: The new candle opens above the previous candle’s close.
Gap Down: The new candle opens below the previous candle’s close.
The indicator highlights these gaps with colored candles:
Green Candle: Gap Up detected.
Red Candle: Gap Down detected.
How to Use the Indicator:
This indicator gives Best Results on Hourly Candles:
This indicator works best on hourly charts (1-hour time frame). It is especially useful for spotting gaps at the start of the next day or after a significant break in trading.
Wait for Confirmation:
After a gap is detected at the open, wait for the candle to form. Ideally, wait for one hour (until the hourly candle is complete) to confirm the candle’s direction and strength before taking any action.
Customize Gap Size:
You can set the minimum gap size using either points or percentage:
Points: Enter the minimum number of points for a gap to be considered significant.
Percentage: Enter the minimum percentage change for a gap to be considered significant.
This flexibility allows you to adjust the indicator to suit different markets and volatility levels.
Trading Logic
If there is a Gap Up and the one hour candle is green:
Buy Option: Consider initiating a buy (long) position.
If there is a Gap Up but the one hour candle is red:
Sell Option: Consider initiating a sell (short) position.
If there is a Gap Down and the one hour closing candle is red:
Sell Option: Consider initiating a sell (short) position.
If there is a Gap Down but the one hour candle is green:
Buy Option: Consider initiating a buy (long) position.
Important Tips
1. Patience Pays: Always wait for the hourly candle to close before making any trading decisions based on the gap.
2. Next Day Open: This strategy is especially effective for catching gaps at the start of a new trading day or after a market break.
3. Visual Cues: The indicator gives you a simple visual cue to spot potential trading opportunities.
4. Flexible Settings: Set your preferred gap size in points or percentage to match your trading style.

CoffeeShopCrypto Supertrend Liquidity EngineMost SuperTrend indicators use fixed ATR multipliers that ignore context—forcing traders to constantly tweak settings that rarely adapt well across timeframes or assets.
This Supertrend is a nodd to and a more completion of the work
done by Olivier Seban ( @olivierseban )
This version replaces guesswork with an adaptive factor based on prior session volatility, dynamically adjusting stops to match current conditions. It also introduces liquidity-aware zones, real-time strength histograms, and a visual control panel—making your stoploss smarter, more responsive, and aligned with how the market actually moves.
📏 The Multiplier Problem & Adaptive Factor Solution
Traditional SuperTrend indicators rely on fixed ATR multipliers—often arbitrary numbers like 1.5, 2, or 3. The issue? No logical basis ties these values to actual market conditions. What works on a 5-minute Nasdaq chart fails on a daily EUR/USD chart. Traders spend hours tweaking multipliers per asset, timeframe, or volatility phase—and still end up with stoplosses that are either too tight or too loose. Worse, the market doesn’t care about your setting—it behaves according to underlying volatility, not your parameter.
This version fixes that by automating the multiplier selection entirely. It uses a 4-zone model based on the current ATR relative to the previous session’s ATR, dynamically adjusting the SuperTrend factor to match current volatility. It eliminates guesswork, adapts to the asset and timeframe, and ensures you’re always using a context-aware stoploss—one that evolves with the market instead of fighting it.
ATR EXAMPLE
Let’s say prior session ATR = 2.00
Now suppose current ATR = 0.32
This places us in Zone 1 (Very Low Volatility)
It doesn’t imply "overbought" or "oversold" — it tells you the market is moving very little, which often means:
Lower risk | Smaller stops | Smaller opportunities (and losses)
🔁 Liquidity Zones vs. Arbitrary Pullbacks
The standard SuperTrend stop loss line often looks like price “barely misses it” before continuing its trend. Traders call this "stop hunting," but what’s really happening is liquidity collection—price pulls back into a zone rich in orders before continuing. The problem? The old SuperTrend doesn’t show this zone. It only draws the outer limit, leaving no visual cue for where entries or continuation moves might realistically originate.
This script introduces 2 levels in the Liquidity Zone. One for Support and one for Stophunts, which draw dynamically between the current price and the SuperTrend line. These levels reflect where the market is most likely to revisit before resuming the trend. By visualizing the area just above the Supertrend stop loss, you can anticipate pullbacks, spot ideal re-entries, and avoid premature exits. This bridges the gap between mechanical stoploss logic and real-world liquidity behavior.
⏳ Prior Session ATR vs. Live ATR
Using real-time ATR to determine movement potential is like driving by looking in your rearview mirror. It’s reactive, not predictive. Traders often base decisions on live ATR, unaware that today’s range is still unfolding —creating volatility mismatches between what’s calculated and what actually matters. Since ATR reflects range, calculating it mid-session gives an incomplete and misleading picture of true volatility.
Instead, this system uses the ATR from the previous session , anchoring your volatility assumptions in a fully-formed price structure . It tells you how far price moved in the last full market phase—be it London, New York, or Tokyo—giving you a more reliable gauge of expected range today. This is a smarter way to estimate how far price could move rather than how far it has moved.
The Smoothing function will take the ATR, Support, Resistance, Stophunt Levels, and the Moving Avearage and smooth them by the calculation you choose.
It will also plot a moving average on your chart against closing prices by the smoothing function you choose.
🧭 Scalping vs. Trending Modes
The market moves in at least 4 phases. Trending, Ranging, Consolidation, Distribution.
Every trader has a different style —some scalp low-volatility moves during off-hours, while others ride macro trends across days. The problem with classic SuperTrend? It treats every market condition the same. A fixed system can’t possibly provide proper stoploss spacing for both a fast scalp and a long-term swing. Traders are forced to rebuild their system every time the market changes character or the session shifts.
This version solves that with a simple toggle:
Scalping or Trend Mode . With one switch, it inverts the logic of the adaptive factor to either tighten or loosen your trailing stops. During low-liquidity hours or consolidation phases, Scalping Mode offers snug stoplosses. During expansion or clear directional bias.
Trend Mode lets the trade breathe. This is flexibility built directly into the logic—not something you have to recalibrate manually.
📉 Histogram Oscillator for Move Strength
In legacy indicators, there’s no built-in way to gauge when the move is losing power . Traders rely on price action or momentum indicators to guess if a trend is fading. But this adds clutter, lag, and often contradiction. The classic SuperTrend doesn’t offer insight into how strong or weak the current trend leg is—only whether price has crossed a line.
This version includes a Trending Liquidity Histogram —a histogram that shows whether the liquidity in the SuperTrend zone is expanding or compressing. When the bars weaken or cross toward zero, it signals liquidity exhaustion . This early warning gives you time to prep for reversals or anticipate pullbacks. It even adapts visually depending on your trading mode, showing color-coded signals for scalping vs. trending behavior. It's both a strength gauge and a trade timing tool—built into your stoploss logic.
Histogram in Scalping Mode
Histogram in Trending Mode
📊 Visual Table for Real-Time Clarity
A major issue with custom indicators is opacity —you don’t always know what settings or values are currently being used. Even worse, if your dynamic logic changes mid-trade, you may not notice unless you go digging into the code or logs. This can create confusion, especially for discretionary traders.
This SuperTrend solves it with a clean visual summary table right on your chart. It shows your current ATR value, adaptive multiplier, trailing stop level, and whether a new zone size is active. That means no surprises and no second-guessing—everything important is visible and updated in real-time.

Stephis Supply & Demand Zones v3
📉 Support
Definition: Support is a price level where a downtrend can be expected to pause or reverse due to a concentration of buying interest.
Why it matters: When the price of an asset falls to a support level, traders expect buyers to step in, preventing the price from falling further.
Visual clue: On a chart, support often appears as a horizontal line where the price has bounced up multiple times.
📈 Demand
Definition: Demand refers to the willingness and ability of buyers to purchase an asset at a given price.
In trading context: High demand typically pushes prices up, while low demand can lead to price drops.
Relation to support: A support level exists because of demand—buyers are willing to buy at that price, creating a floor.
🧠 How They Work Together
When price approaches a support level, traders watch to see if demand increases—if it does, the price may bounce.
If the support level is broken, it may signal that demand has weakened, and the price could fall further.
🔁 Opposite Concept: Resistance & Supply
Resistance is the opposite of support—it's a level where selling pressure (supply) may stop a price from rising.
Just like demand creates support, supply creates resistance.

Yelober - Intraday ETF Dashboard# How to Read the Yelober Intraday ETF Dashboard
The Intraday ETF Dashboard provides a powerful at-a-glance view of sector performance and trading opportunities. Here's how to interpret and use the information:
## Basic Dashboard Reading
### Color-Coding System
- **Green values**: Positive performance or bullish signals
- **Red values**: Negative performance or bearish signals
- **Symbol colors**: Green = buy signal, Red = sell signal, Gray = neutral
### Example 1: Identifying Strong Sectors
If you see XLF (Financials) with:
- Day % showing +2.65% (green background)
- Symbol in green color
- RSI of 58 (not overbought)
**Interpretation**: Financial sector is showing strength and momentum without being overextended. Consider long positions in top financial stocks like JPM or BAC.
### Example 2: Spotting Weakness
If you see XLK (Technology) with:
- Day % showing -1.20% (red background)
- Week % showing -3.50% (red background)
- Symbol in red color
- RSI of 35 (approaching oversold)
**Interpretation**: Technology sector is showing weakness across multiple timeframes. Consider avoiding tech stocks or taking short positions in names like MSFT or AAPL, but be cautious as the low RSI suggests a bounce may be coming.
## Advanced Interpretations
### Example 3: Sector Rotation Detection
If you observe:
- XLE (Energy) showing +2.10% while XLK (Technology) showing -1.50%
- Both sectors' Week % values showing the opposite trend
**Interpretation**: This suggests money is rotating out of technology into energy stocks. This rotation pattern is actionable - consider reducing tech exposure and increasing energy positions (look at XOM, CVX in the Top Stocks column).
### Example 4: RSI Divergences
If you see XLU (Utilities) with:
- Day % showing +0.50% (small positive)
- RSI showing 72 (overbought, red background)
**Interpretation**: Despite positive performance, the high RSI suggests the sector is overextended. This divergence between price and indicator suggests caution - the rally in utilities may be running out of steam.
### Example 5: Relative Strength in Weak Markets
If SPY shows -1.20% but XLP (Consumer Staples) shows +0.30%:
**Interpretation**: Consumer staples are showing defensive strength during market weakness. This is typical risk-off behavior. Consider defensive positions in stocks like PG, KO, or PEP for protection.
## Practical Application Scenarios
### Day Trading Setup
1. **Morning Market Assessment**:
- Check which sectors are green pre-market
- Focus on sectors with Day % > 1% and RSI between 40-70
- Identify 2-3 stocks from the Top Stocks column of the strongest sector
2. **Midday Reversal Hunting**:
- Look for sectors with symbol color changing from red to green
- Confirm with RSI moving away from extremes
- Trade stocks from that sector showing similar pattern changes
### Swing Trading Application
1. **Trend Following**:
- Identify sectors with positive Day % and Week %
- Look for RSI values in uptrend but not overbought (45-65)
- Enter positions in top stocks from these sectors, using daily charts for confirmation
2. **Contrarian Setups**:
- Find sectors with deeply negative Day % but RSI < 30
- Look for divergence (price making new lows but RSI rising)
- Consider counter-trend positions in the stronger stocks within these oversold sectors
## Reading Special Conditions
### Example 6: Risk-Off Environment
If you observe:
- XLP (Consumer Staples) and XLU (Utilities) both green
- XLK (Technology) and XLY (Consumer Disc) both red
- SPY slightly negative
**Interpretation**: Classic risk-off rotation. Investors are moving to safety. Consider defensive positioning and reducing exposure to growth sectors.
### Example 7: Market Breadth Analysis
Count the number of sectors in green vs. red:
- If 7+ sectors are green: Strong bullish breadth, consider aggressive long positioning
- If 7+ sectors are red: Weak market breadth, consider defensive positioning or shorts
- If evenly split: Market is indecisive, focus on specific sector strength instead of broad market exposure
Remember that this dashboard is most effective when combined with broader market analysis and appropriate risk management strategies.
Adaptive Quadratic Kernel EnvelopeThis study draws a fair-value curve from a quadratic-weighted (Nadaraya-Watson) regression. Alpha sets how sharply weights decay inside the look-back window, so you trade lag against smoothness with one slider. Band half-width is ATRslow times a bounded fast/slow ATR ratio, giving an instant response to regime shifts without overshooting on spikes. Work in log space when an instrument grows exponentially, equal percentage moves then map to equal vertical steps. NearBase and FarBase define a progression of adaptive thresholds, useful for sizing exits or calibrating mean-reversion logic. Non-repaint mode keeps one-bar delay for clean back-tests, predictive mode shows the zero-lag curve for live decisions.
Key points
- Quadratic weights cut phase error versus Gaussian or SMA-based envelopes.
- Dual-ATR scaling updates width on the next bar, no residual lag.
- Log option preserves envelope symmetry across multi-decade data.
- Alpha provides direct control of curvature versus noise.
- Built-in alerts trigger on the first adaptive threshold, ready for automation.
Typical uses
Trend bias from the slope of the curve.
Entry timing when price pierces an inner threshold and momentum stalls.
Breakout confirmation when closes hold beyond outer thresholds while volatility expands.
Stops and targets anchored to chosen thresholds, automatically matching current noise.
Trend TraderDescription and Usage of the "Trend Trader" Indicator
The "Trend Trader" indicator, created by Gerardo Mercado as a legacy project, is a versatile trading tool designed to identify potential buy and sell signals across various instruments. While it provides predefined settings for popular instruments like US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, it can be seamlessly adapted to any market, including forex pairs like EUR/USD. The indicator combines moving averages, time-based filters, and MACD confirmation to enhance decision-making for traders.
How It Works
Custom Moving Averages (MAs):
The indicator uses two moving averages:
Short MA: A faster-moving average (default: 10 periods).
Long MA: A slower-moving average (default: 100 periods).
Buy signals are generated when the Short MA crosses above the Long MA.
Sell signals are triggered when the Short MA crosses below the Long MA.
Time-Based Signals:
The user can define specific trading session times (start and end in UTC) to focus on high-activity periods for their chosen market.
Signals and background coloring are only active during the allowed session times.
MACD Confirmation:
A MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) calculation on a 15-minute timeframe ensures stronger confirmation for signals.
Buy signals require the MACD line to be above the signal line.
Sell signals require the MACD line to be at or below the signal line.
Target Levels:
Predefined profit targets are dynamically set based on the selected trading instrument.
While it includes settings for US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, the target levels can be adjusted to fit the volatility and structure of any asset, including forex pairs like EUR/USD.
Target 1 and Target 2 levels display when these thresholds are met after an entry signal.
Adaptability to Any Market:
Although predefined options are included for specific instruments, the indicator's moving averages, time settings, and MACD logic are applicable to any tradable asset, making it suitable for forex, commodities, indices, and more.
Visual Alerts:
Labels appear on the chart to highlight "BUY" and "SELL" signals at crossover points.
Additional labels indicate when price movements reach the predefined target levels.
Bar and background coloring visually represent active signals and MACD alignment.
Purpose
The indicator aims to simplify trend-following and momentum-based trading strategies. By integrating moving averages, MACD, customizable time sessions, and dynamic targets, it offers clear entry and exit points while being adaptable to the needs of individual traders across diverse markets.
How to Use
Setup:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Configure the moving average periods, trading session times, and target levels according to your preferences.
Select the instrument for predefined target settings or customize them to fit the asset you’re trading (e.g., EUR/USD or other forex pairs).
Interpreting Signals:
Buy Signal: The Short MA crosses above the Long MA, MACD confirms the upward trend, and the session is active.
Sell Signal: The Short MA crosses below the Long MA, MACD confirms the downward trend, and the session is active.
Adapt for Any Instrument:
Adjust the predefined target levels to match the volatility and trading style for your chosen asset.
For forex pairs like EUR/USD, consider typical pip movements to set appropriate profit targets.
Targets:
Use the provided target labels (e.g., 50 or 100 points) or customize them to reflect realistic profit goals based on the asset’s volatility.
Visual Aids:
Pay attention to the background color:
Greenish: Indicates a bullish trend during the allowed session.
Redish: Indicates a bearish trend during the allowed session.
Use the "BUY" and "SELL" labels for actionable insights.
This indicator is a flexible and powerful tool, suitable for traders across all markets. Its adaptability ensures that it can enhance your strategy, whether you’re trading forex, commodities, indices, or other assets. By offering actionable alerts and customizable settings, the "Trend Trader" serves as a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit. FX:EURUSD
OBV with MA & Bollinger Bands by Marius1032OBV with MA & Bollinger Bands by Marius1032
This script adds customizable moving averages and Bollinger Bands to the classic OBV (On Balance Volume) indicator. It helps identify volume-driven momentum and trend strength.
Features:
OBV-based trend tracking
Optional smoothing: SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA
Optional Bollinger Bands with SMA
Potential Combinations and Trading Strategies:
Breakouts: Look for price breakouts from the Bollinger Bands, and confirm with a rising OBV for an uptrend or falling OBV for a downtrend.
Trend Reversals: When the price touches a Bollinger Band, examine the OBV for divergence. A bullish divergence (price lower low, OBV higher low) near the lower band could signal a reversal.
Volume Confirmation: Use OBV to confirm the strength of the trend indicated by Bollinger Bands. For example, if the BBs indicate an uptrend and OBV is also rising, it reinforces the bullish signal.
1. On-Balance Volume (OBV):
Purpose: OBV is a momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict price movements.
Calculation: Volume is added on up days and subtracted on down days.
Interpretation: Rising OBV suggests potential upward price movement. Falling OBV suggests potential lower prices.
Divergence: Divergence between OBV and price can signal potential trend reversals.
2. Moving Average (MA):
Purpose: Moving Averages smooth price fluctuations and help identify trends.
Combination with OBV: Pairing OBV with MAs helps confirm trends and identify potential reversals. A crossover of the OBV line and its MA can signal a trend reversal or continuation.
3. Bollinger Bands (BB):
Purpose: BBs measure market volatility and help identify potential breakouts and trend reversals.
Structure: They consist of a moving average (typically 20-period) and two standard deviation bands.
Combination with OBV: Combining BBs with OBV allows for a multifaceted approach to market analysis. For example, a stock hitting the lower BB with a rising OBV could indicate accumulation and a potential upward reversal.

BSL & SSL - Liquidity Zones
BSL & SSL - Liquidity Zones
Indicator Description (for TradingView)
Concept
The BSL & SSL - Liquidity Zones indicator is a simple yet powerful visual tool that helps traders identify key liquidity zones in the market by tracking prominent highs and lows on the chart.
It is based on the concept that the Highest High (Buy Side Liquidity - BSL) and Lowest Low (Sell Side Liquidity - SSL) represent zones where stop-loss orders and pending orders accumulate — often attracting future price movements.
Purpose
This indicator helps traders spot hidden liquidity levels which may act as targets or potential reversal points. It is especially useful for traders who apply Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or institutional trading models.
Great for detecting potential stop hunts and understanding market structure shifts.
How It Works
The indicator calculates the Highest High and Lowest Low over a user-defined period (default: 20 candles).
When a new Higher High forms, it marks a new BSL.
When a new Lower Low forms, it marks a new SSL.
These zones are likely to attract price in the future — either as targets or traps.
Visualization
The indicator draws static horizontal lines (Stepline style) at BSL and SSL levels.
These lines remain in place until broken or a new level is formed.
Visual Labels enhance clarity:
🟢 Green Label → BSL
🔴 Red Label → SSL
Trading Insights / Practical Use
When price approaches a BSL or SSL zone, ask yourself:
✅ Will price break the level to grab liquidity?
✅ Will there be a reversal after liquidity is taken?
The indicator does not provide signals by itself — it serves as a valuable confirmation tool when combined with:
Price Action
Support & Resistance
Momentum Indicators
SMC Tools
Key Benefits
✅ Easy to use
✅ Enhances liquidity analysis
✅ Highlights zones targeted by institutional players
✅ Simple calculation — no complex formulas
Limitations
🚫 Does NOT generate buy/sell signals
🚫 Should be used as part of a complete trading framework
Conclusion
BSL & SSL - Liquidity Zones is a versatile and intuitive tool for any trader looking to better understand where liquidity is positioned on the chart.
It works across all timeframes and complements any trading strategy, especially Smart Money-based approaches.

Volume-Time Imbalance (VTI)Volume-Time Imbalance (VTI) – Indicator Description
This indicator measures the imbalance between traded volume and the time elapsed between bars to identify unusual spikes in volume per second (volume per unit of time). Its purpose is to highlight volume movements that may indicate moments of strong interest, acceleration, or reversal in the market.
How it works:
It calculates the traded volume divided by the time (in seconds) elapsed since the previous bar — thus obtaining the volume per second.
An EMA (exponential moving average) of this volume per second is calculated to smooth the data.
The VTI value is the ratio between the current volume per second and this moving average, showing if the current volume is above what is expected for that pace.
The higher the VTI, the greater the imbalance between volume and time, indicating possible bursts of activity.
Settings:
VTI Moving Average Length: The period of the moving average used to smooth the volume per second (default is 20).
Alert Thresholds: Alert levels to identify moderate and high imbalances (defaults are 1.5 and 2.0).
Show VTI Histogram: Displays the VTI histogram in the indicator window.
Color Background: Colors the indicator background based on the strength of the imbalance (orange for moderate, red for high).
Show Alert Arrows: Shows arrows below the chart when a strong volume spike occurs (high alert).
Interpretation:
VTI values above the moderate level (1.5) indicate an unusual increase in volume relative to time.
Values above the high level (2.0) signal strong spikes that may anticipate significant moves or trend changes.
Use the colors and arrows as visual confirmations to quickly identify these moments.
Cumulative Intraday Volume with Long/Short LabelsThis indicator calculates a running total of volume for each trading day, then shows on the price chart when that total crosses levels you choose. Every day at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, the total goes back to zero so it always reflects only the current day’s activity. From that moment on, each time a new candle appears the indicator looks at whether the candle closed higher than it opened or lower. If it closed higher, the candle’s volume is added to the running total; if it closed lower, the same volume amount is subtracted. As a result, the total becomes positive when buyers have dominated so far today and negative when sellers have dominated.
Because futures markets close at 6 PM ET, the running total resets exactly then, mirroring the way most intraday traders think in terms of a single session. Throughout the day, you will see this running total move up or down according to whether more volume is happening on green or red candles. Once the total goes above a number you specify (for example, one hundred thousand contracts), the indicator will place a small “Long” label at that candle on the main price chart to let you know buying pressure has reached that level. Similarly, once the total goes below a negative number you choose (for example, minus one hundred thousand), a “Short” label will appear at that candle to signal that selling pressure has reached your chosen threshold. You can set these threshold numbers to whatever makes sense for your trading style or the market you follow.
Because raw volume alone never turns negative, this design uses candle direction as a sign. Green candles (where the close is higher than the open) add volume, and red candles (where the close is lower than the open) subtract volume. Summing those signed volume values tells you in a single number whether buying or selling has been stronger so far today. That number resets every evening, so it does not carry over any buying or selling from previous sessions.
Once you have this indicator on your chart, you simply watch the “summed volume” line as it moves throughout the day. If it climbs past your long threshold, you know buyers are firmly in control and a long entry might make sense. If it falls past your short threshold, you know sellers are firmly in control and a short entry might make sense. In quieter markets or times of low volume, you might use a smaller threshold so that even modest buying or selling pressure will trigger a label. During very active periods, a larger threshold will prevent too many signals when volume spikes frequently.
This approach is straightforward but can be surprisingly powerful. It does not rely on complex formulas or hidden statistical measures. Instead, it simply adds and subtracts daily volume based on candle color, then alerts you when that total reaches levels you care about. Over several years of historical testing, this formula has shown an ability to highlight moments when intraday sentiment shifts decisively from buyers to sellers or vice versa. Because the indicator resets every day at 6 PM, it always reflects only today’s sentiment and remains easy to interpret without carrying over past data. You can use it on any intraday timeframe, but it works especially well on five-minute or fifteen-minute charts for futures contracts.
If you want a clear gauge of whether buyers or sellers are dominating in real time, and you prefer a rule-based method rather than a complex model, this indicator gives you exactly that. It shows net buying or selling pressure at a glance, resets each session like most intraday traders do, and marks the moments when that pressure crosses the levels you decide are important. By combining a daily reset with signed volume, you get a single number that tells you precisely what the crowd is doing at any given moment, without any of the guesswork or hidden calculations that more complicated indicators often carry.
BBS – Bond Breadth Signal"When bonds scream, breadth collapses, and fear spikes — BBS listens."
🧠 BBS – Bond Breadth Signal
A reversal timing tool built on macro conviction, not price noise.
The Bond Breadth Signal (BBS) was developed to identify major market inflection points by combining four key market stress indicators:
1) 10-Year Yield ROC – Measures sharp moves in the bond market
2) Z-Score of the 10Y – Captures statistical extremes
3) NSHF (Net Highs–Lows) – Signals internal market strength or weakness
4) TLT ROC + VIX – Confirmations of flight to safety and volatility-driven fear
When all conditions align, BBS marks either a For-Sure Buy or For-Sure Sell — these are rare, high-confidence signals designed to cut through noise and focus on true market dislocations.
🔧 Features:
-Background color and signal arrows on confirmation days
-Signals remain visually active for 3 days for added clarity
-Fully adjustable thresholds and alert toggles
-Plot panel for yield, TLT, NSHF, VIX, and Z-score visuals
This tool isn’t designed to fire every day. It’s meant to wait for those moments when the market truly bends — not just wiggles.
Best used on major indices (SPY, QQQ, IWM) to assess macro turning points.
Strategy Builder Pro [ChartPrime]ChartPrime Strategy Creator Overview
The ChartPrime Strategy Builder offers traders an innovative, structured approach to building and testing strategies. The Strategy Creator allows users to combine, test, and automate complex strategies with many parameters.
Key Features of the ChartPrime Strategy Builder
1. Customizable Buy and Sell Conditions
The Strategy Creator provides flexibility in establishing entry and exit rules, with separate sections for long and short strategies. Traders can combine multiple conditions in each section to fine-tune when positions are opened or closed. For instance, they might choose to only buy when the indicator signals a buy and the Dynamic Reactor (a low lag filter) indicator shows a bullish trend. Users are able to pick, mix and match the following list of features:
Signal Mode: Select the type of assistive signals you are requiring. Provided are both trend following signals with self optimization using backtest results as well as reversal signals, aiming to provide real time tops and bottoms in markets. Both these signal modes can be fine tuned using the tuning input to refine signals to a trader's liking. ChartPrime Trend Signals leverage audio engineering inspired techniques and low-pass filters in order to achieve and attempt to produce lower lag response times and therefore are designed to have a uniqueness when compared to more classical trend following approaches.
The Dynamic Reactor: provides a simple band passing through the chart. This can provide assistance in support and resistance locations as well as identifying the trend direction expressed via green and red colors. Taking a moving average and applying unique adaptivity calculations gives this plot a unique and fast behavior.
Candlestick structures: analyze candlestick formation putting a spin on classical candlestick patterns and provide the most relevant formations on the chart. These are not classical and are filtered by further analyzing market activity. A trader's classic with a spin.
The Prime Trend Assistant: provides a trend following dynamic support and resistance level. This makes it perfect to use in confluence or as a filter for other supporting indicators. This is an adaptive trend following system designed to handle volatility leveraging filter kernels as opposed to low pass filters.
Money Flow: with further filters applied for early response to money flow changes in the market. This can be a great filter in trends.
Oscillator reversals: are built in leveraging an oscillator focusing on market momentum allowing users to enter based on market shifts and trends along with reversals.
Volume-Inspired Signals: determine overbought and oversold conditions, adding another layer of analysis to the oscillator. These appear as orange labels, providing a simple reading into a possible reversal.
The Volume Matrix: is a volume oscillator that shows whether money is flowing into or out of the market. Green suggests an uptrend with buyers in control, while red indicates a majority of sellers. By incorporating smoothed volume analysis, it distinguishes between bullish and bearish volumes, offering an early indication of potential trend reversals.
The True 7: is a middle-ranking system that evaluates the strength of a move and the overall trend, offering a numeric or visual representation of trend strength. It can also indicate when a trend is starting to reverse, providing leading signals for potential market shifts. Rather than using an oscillator, this offers the unique edge of falling into set categories, making understanding it simple. This can be a great confluence point when designing a strategy.
Take profits: These offer real-time suggestions from our algorithm on when it might be a good time to take profit. Using these as part of a strategy allows for great entries at bottoms and tops of trends.
Using features such as the Dynamic reactor have dual purposes. Traders can use this as both a filter and an entry condition. This allows for true interoperability when using the Strategy Builder. The above conditions are duplicated for short entries too allowing for symmetrical trading systems. By disabling all of the entry conditions on either long or short areas of the settings will create a strategy that only takes a single type of position. For example; a trader that just wants to take longs can disable all short options.
2. Layered Entries
Layered entries, a feature to enhance the uniqueness in the tool. It allows traders to average into positions as the market moves, rather than committing all capital at once. This feature is particularly useful for volatile markets where prices may fluctuate substantially. The Strategy Builder lets users adjust the number of layered entries, which can help in managing risk and optimizing entry points as well as the aggressiveness of the safety orders. With each safety order placed the system will automatically and dynamically scale into positions reducing the average entry price and hence dynamically adjust the potential take profits. Due to the potential complexities of exiting during multiple orders, a smart system is employed to automatically take profits on the layered system aiming to take profits at peaks of trends.
Users are able to override this smart TP system at the bottom of the settings instead targeting percentage profits for both short and long positions.
Entries lowering average buy price
The ability to adjust how quickly the system layers into positions can also be adjusted via the layered entries drop down between fast and slow mode where the slow mode will be more cautious when producing new orders.
3. Flexible Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) Options
Traders can set their TP and SL levels according to various parameters, including ATR (Average True Range), risk-reward ratio, trailing stops, or specific price changes. If layered entries are active, an automatic TP method is applied by default, though traders can manually specify TP values if they prefer. This setup allows for precise control over trade exits, tailored to the strategy’s risk profile.
Provided options
The ability to use external take profits and stop losses is also provided. By loading an indicator of your choice the plots will be added to the chart. By navigating to the external sources area of the settings, users can select this plot and use it as part of a wider trading system.
Example: Let’s say a user has entries based on the inbuilt trend signals and wishes to exit whenever the RSI crosses above 70, they can add RSI to the chart, select crossing up and enter the value of 70.
4. Integrated Reinvestment for Compounding Gains
The reinvestment option allows traders to reinvest a portion of their gains into future trades, increasing trade size over time and benefiting from compounding. For example, a user might set 30% of each trade's profit to reinvest, with the remaining 70% allocated for risk management or additional safety orders. This approach can enhance long-term growth while balancing risk.
Generally in trading it can be a good approach to take profits so we suggest a healthy balance. This setting is generally best used for slow steady strategies with the long term aim of accumulating as much of the asset as possible.
5. Leverage and Position Sizing
Users can configure leverage and position sizing to simulate varying risk levels and capital allocations. A dashboard on the interface displays margin requirements based on the selected leverage, allowing traders to estimate trade sizes relative to their available capital. Whenever using leverage especially with layered entries it’s important to keep a close eye on the position sizes to avoid potential liquidations.
6. Pre-Configured Strategies for Immediate Testing
For users seeking a starting point, ChartPrime includes a range of preset strategies. These were developed and backtested by ChartPrime’s team. This allows traders to start with a stable base and adapt it to their own preferences. It is vital to understand that historical performance doesn't guarantee future success, and traders should be mindful of overfitting. These pre-built configurations offer a structured way and base to design strategies off of. These are also subject to changing results as new price action arrives and they become outdated. They serve the purpose of simply being example use cases.
7. In-Depth Specific Backtesting Ranges
The Strategy Builder includes backtesting capabilities, providing a clear view of how different setups would have performed over specified time periods. Traders can select date ranges to target specific market conditions, then review results on TradingView to see how their strategies perform across different market trends.
Example Use Case: Developing a Strategy
Consider a trader who is focused on long positions only and prefers a lower-risk strategy (note these tools can be used for all assets; we are using an undisclosed asset as an example). Using the Strategy Builder, they could:
- Disable short conditions.
- Set long entry rules to trigger when both the ChartPrime oscillator and Quantum Reactor indicators show bullish signals.
- Enable layered entries to improve average entry prices by adding to positions during market dips.
- Run a backtest over a two-year period to see historical performance trends, making adjustments as needed.
The backtest will show where entries and exits would have occurred and how layered entries may have impacted profitability.
8. Iterative design
Strategy builders and creating a strategy is often an iterative process. By experimenting and using logic; a trader can arrive at a more sustainable system. Analyzing the shortcomings of your strategy and iteratively designing and filtering them out is the goal. For example; let’s say a strategy has high drawdown, a user would want to tighten stop losses for example to reduce this and find a balance point between optimizing winning trades and reducing the drawdown. When designing a strategy there are generally tradeoffs and optimizing taking into consideration a wide range of factors is key. This also applies to filtering techniques, entries and exits and every variable in the strategy.
Let’s say a strategy was taking too many long positions in a downtrend and after you’ve analyzed the data, you come to the conclusion this needs to be solved. Filtering these using built in trend following tools can be a great approach and refining with logic is a great approach.
The Strategy Builder also takes into consideration those who seek to automate especially via reinvesting and leverage features.
Considerations
The ChartPrime Strategy Builder aims to help traders build clear, rule-based strategies without excessive complexity. As with all backtesting tools, it's crucial to understand that historical performance doesn't guarantee future success, and traders should be mindful of overfitting. This tool offers a structured way to test strategies against various market conditions, helping traders refine their approaches with data-driven insights. Traders should also ensure they enter the correct fees when designing strategies and ensure usage on standard candle types.
Time-Weighted Fractality (TWF)The Time-Weighted Fractality (TWF) indicator is your secret weapon to measure how stable or volatile a market truly is — by tracking how long trends persist, and weighting that against recent history.
Why you need TWF in your toolkit:
Markets aren’t always trending or choppy in a simple on/off way. TWF quantifies trend duration dynamics — revealing when the market is locked into a strong, stable trend or stuck in erratic, unpredictable moves.
How it works — sharp and simple:
Trend Duration Tracking:
Measures how many bars since the last highest high changed within a specified lookback. This tells you how long the current trend has been running.
Smoothed Average Duration:
Uses an EMA to smooth trend duration, providing a reliable baseline of recent trend behavior.
Ratio Calculation (TWF):
The core metric — current trend duration divided by average trend duration.
TWF > 1.2 means the current trend is stronger and more persistent than usual.
TWF < 0.8 signals a volatile, choppy market struggling to hold any trend.
What you see on the chart:
A clean TWF line plotted with clear zones:
Green zone = Strong, stable trend environment
Red zone = Choppy, volatile conditions to avoid or trade cautiously
Background shading highlights these zones for instant clarity
Markers appear at critical points for quick visual cues
Why traders swear by it:
✅ Reliable trend confirmation: Avoid false signals by only acting when TWF confirms sustained market momentum.
✅ Timing tool: Perfect for spotting when a trend is building strength or losing grip — invaluable for entries and exits.
✅ Versatile: Works on all timeframes and instruments, from forex to stocks to crypto.
✅ Simple but powerful: Combines fractal concept with time weighting and smoothing — giving you a next-level understanding of market rhythm.
Pro tip:
Use TWF alongside your favorite price or volume-based indicators for unmatched precision. For example, confirm breakouts only when TWF signals a stable trend zone to increase your win rate.
In a sea of noise, TWF cuts through to give you real, actionable insight. Trust it, build your strategy around it — it’s that good.
VIDYA (Chande)This script brings you VIDYA – the Variable Index Dynamic Average, developed by Tushar Chande. It’s not your typical moving average. Unlike the standard SMA or EMA, VIDYA adapts its speed and smoothness based on real-time market momentum using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO).
Think of it like a moving average that gets faster during strong trends and slows down during sideways or choppy markets — just like how a smart trader would!
🧠 What Makes VIDYA Different?
Traditional moving averages use fixed smoothing, so they lag more during big moves or chop during weak trends.
VIDYA fixes that by adapting its behavior dynamically:
When momentum is strong → VIDYA reacts faster 🚀
When momentum is weak → VIDYA smooths out the noise 🧘
⚙️ How It Works (Explained Simply):
1️⃣ CMO Calculation (Chande Momentum Oscillator):
We look at the past cmoLength candles (default 9) and:
i) Add up all the positive price changes (gains)
ii) Add up all the negative price changes (losses)
iii) Use those to compute a normalized momentum score between -100 and +100
📌 CMO = (Gains - Losses) / (Gains + Losses)
• This gives us a momentum reading that powers the next step.
2️⃣ Dynamic Alpha Smoothing:
• We convert the absolute value of the CMO into an alpha — this is the "speed" of the VIDYA.
📌 Higher momentum = higher alpha → faster response
📌 Lower momentum = lower alpha → smoother behavior
3️⃣ VIDYA Formula:
• Finally, we apply the smoothing:
📌 VIDYA = α × Price + (1 - α) × Previous VIDYA
• This equation continuously adapts to market behavior — trending or ranging.
📊 What’s Plotted?
🟠 The VIDYA Line:
A smooth, responsive line plotted on your price chart that adjusts in real-time with price momentum.
🔎 How to Use It:
✅ Use it like a moving average, but smarter:
• Price > VIDYA and rising → Trend is likely up
• Price < VIDYA and falling → Trend is likely down
• Flat VIDYA = Possible consolidation or sideways market
✅ Combine with:
• Breakout strategies (VIDYA confirms momentum)
• Reversal entries (look for price crossing VIDYA)
• Volatility filters (ignore signals when VIDYA flattens)
🧪 Bonus Tip:
Pair this with a volume indicator (like my Volume Confirmation Bars or Volume Strength Highlight) to confirm whether momentum is backed by real participation or just a fakeout.
📩 Want alerts, dual-timeframe overlays, or VIDYA with other base inputs (like typical price or HLC3)? Let me know — happy to expand this for your setup!
Stay adaptive, not reactive — trade smarter with VIDYA! 🧠📉📈
Relative Wave: Volatility IncludedFor the setup shown, it is best used with the following scripts I have written:
1. Indicator: Volatility Candle Based
2. Multi-Period Charts (use 2 of them): @ 30m and 1H settings
3. Relative Wave: Volatility Included.
Indicator Description: Relative Wave: Volatility Included (RW: Vol)
Pine Script v6 – Technical Overview
🔍 Purpose
The Relative Wave: Volatility Included (RW: Vol) is a custom oscillator designed to measure price position relative to dynamic upper and lower bounds that are influenced by volatility. It incorporates trend filtering, momentum smoothing, and zone detection, providing a composite view of price waves and potential reversal signals.
🧠 How It Works
1. Core Concept: Relative Position within Volatility Bands
The indicator calculates a Relative Wave Index, which measures where the current price sits between recent upper and lower bands derived from standard deviation. These bounds are sorted over a historical window to filter for sensitivity.
2. Sensitivity & Smoothing
Trend Length (Historical_Bar_Count): Defines how many bars are used to build the volatility-adjusted trend range.
Sensitivity Control: Adjusts how reactive the index is to recent price changes.
EMA Smoothing: Custom exponential moving averages are used to smooth values for fast, slow, and overall momentum.
3. Components & Visuals
RW Short-Term Fast Line: Plotted as colored circles indicating quick changes in trend.
RW Short-Term Slow Line: A smoother trend line for signal filtering.
RW Overall Momentum Line: Step-style line measuring broader directional trend.
RW Wave Line: A smoothed average of recent crests and troughs, acting as a cyclical midline reference.
Zone Lines (5/20/50/80/95): Visual thresholds often used as overbought/oversold regions.
⚙️ Key Inputs & Their Effects
Trend Length: Longer = smoother but laggy trends; shorter = more responsive but volatile.
Sensitivity: Higher values = less sensitivity; lower = more reactive.
Signal Lengths (Fast/Slow/Overall): Control the degree of smoothing for each plotted line.
Crest/Trough Lookback: Determines how crests and troughs are calculated from past wave behavior.
✅ Trade Signal Logic
The script defines bullish and bearish conditions based on the interaction of:
RW Wave direction
Overall Momentum direction
Slow Line behavior
Relative positioning (e.g., below or above 50)
Bullish Example:
RW Wave and Momentum are both rising
Values are below 50 (potential upside room)
Slow Line may be falling or just crossed upward
Bearish Example:
RW Wave and Momentum are falling
Values are above 50 (potential downside room)
Slow Line rising or crossed downward
🎨 Visual Aids & Colors
Green: Bullish momentum
Red: Bearish momentum
Blue/Purple Circles: Transition points and fast line status
White/Midrange Lines: Reference zones (like RSI levels)
📈 Best Use Cases
Identifying shifts in market direction before price breakout
Confirming trend strength using wave/momentum alignment
Spotting oversold/overbought zones with volatility context
Combining with other indicators (e.g., price action or volume)
How the Relative Wave Indicator, Volatility-Based Candle Signals, and Multi-Time Period Charts Work Together
This strategy combines three core components—Relative Wave, Volatility Candle Signals, and Multi-Time Period Analysis—to build a layered, high-probability trading framework.
🔷 1. Relative Wave Indicator (used on 3-minute chart)
The Relative Wave Indicator is a momentum and volatility-based oscillator that tracks price movement within a defined range using historical highs and lows derived from standard deviation bands. It smooths price action using fast and slow custom EMAs to identify underlying trend strength and reversals.
Key Features:
Tracks short-term wave structure
Detects momentum shifts based on rising/falling conditions
Uses color-coded momentum signals to help spot turning points early
The wave line and overall momentum line help confirm the quality of trend setups
🔶 2. Volatility Candle-Based Indicator (used on 3-minute chart)
The Volatility Candle Signal highlights significant price action based on expanding or contracting volatility. This tool helps identify moments of potential breakout or reversal by evaluating candle size, wick structure, and deviation from recent ranges.
Key Purpose:
Pinpoints actionable moments when volatility is entering or exiting the market
Works in tandem with Relative Wave to validate whether a momentum shift is strong enough to act on
🕰 3. Multi-Time Period Chart Confirmation (30-minute & 2-hour)
To avoid false signals and ensure alignment with broader market context, two higher timeframes (30m and 2h) are used as confirmation filters.
How They Integrate:
The 30-minute chart provides mid-range trend direction—ideal for intraday bias
The 2-hour chart offers broader trend context and helps avoid trading against dominant macro trends
These are used as overlays or separate indicators that mirror Relative Wave or other trend-detection tools to show whether the short-term setup aligns with bigger picture momentum
✅ Optimal Setup
Execution Timeframe: 3-minute chart
Confirmation Timeframes: 30-minute and 2-hour charts
Ideal Conditions for Trade Entry:
Relative Wave shows bullish/bearish alignment (e.g., wave and momentum lines rising with value <50 for bulls, >50 for bears)
Volatility candles indicate a breakout or reversal
Both the 30m and 2h multi-timeframe indicators confirm the trend direction or support a momentum shift
This integrated approach minimizes noise and increases confidence in each trade setup by ensuring that short-term signals are supported by volatility behavior and broader market context.
Period High/Low Percentage DifferenceCheck for price away from 200 days high/low and from recent high and low. Found it difficult to keep switching from regular to percentage in chart. I use it for ETF investing.
Bull & Bear Power Separados📄 English Description for TradingView
Bull & Bear Power – Elder Style
This indicator displays the strength of buyers (Bull Power) and sellers (Bear Power) separately, based on Alexander Elder’s original concept.
It uses a 13-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as the baseline, calculating:
Bull Power = High – EMA
Bear Power = Low – EMA
✔️ Bull Power (green) shows buying pressure.
✔️ Bear Power (red) shows selling pressure.
Great for analyzing true market momentum and spotting early signs of potential trend reversals.
Can be used as confirmation together with moving averages (e.g., MMA30 and MMA50) or price action signals.
✅ On 1H gold charts (XAUUSD), it has shown solid behavior in filtering entries during clear trends.
