Combined EMA/Smiley & DEM System## 🔷 General Overview
This script creates an advanced technical analysis system for TradingView, combining multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), dynamic Fibonacci levels, and ATR (Average True Range) analysis. It presents the results clearly through interactive, real-time tables directly on the chart.
---
## 🔹 Indicator Structure
The script consists of two main parts:
### **1. EMA & SMA Combined System with Fibonacci**
- **Purpose:**
Provides visual insights by comparing multiple EMA/SMA periods and identifying significant dynamic price levels using Fibonacci ratios around a calculated "Golden" line.
- **Components:**
- **Moving Averages (MAs)**:
- 20 EMAs (periods from 20 to 400)
- 20 SMAs (also from 20 to 400)
- **Golden Line:**
Calculated as the average of all EMAs and SMAs.
- **Dynamic Fibonacci Levels:**
Key ratios around the Golden line (0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0, 1.272, 1.414, 1.618, 2.0) dynamically adjust based on market conditions.
- **Fibonacci Labels:**
Labels are shown next to Fibonacci lines, indicating their numeric value clearly on the chart.
- **Table (Top Right Corner):**
- Displays:
- **Input:** EMA/SMA periods sorted by their current average price levels.
- **AVG:** The average of corresponding EMA & SMA pairs.
- **EMA & SMA Values:** Individual EMA/SMA values clearly marked.
- **Dynamic Highlighting:** Highlights the row whose average (EMA+SMA)/2 is closest to the current price, helping identify immediate price action significance.
- **Sorting Logic:**
Each EMA/SMA pair is dynamically sorted based on their average values. Color coding (red/green) is used:
- **Green:** EMA/SMA pairs with shorter periods when their average is lower.
- **Red:** EMA/SMA pairs with longer periods when their average is lower.
- **Star (⭐):** Represents the "Golden" average clearly.
---
### **2. DEM System (Dynamic EMA/ATR Metrics)**
- **Purpose:**
Provides detailed ATR statistics to assess market volatility clearly and quickly.
- **Components:**
- **Moving Averages:**
- SMA lines: 25, 50, 100, 200.
- **Bollinger Bands:**
- Based on 20-period SMA of highs and standard deviation of lows.
- **ATR Analysis:**
- ATR calculations for multiple periods (1-day, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50).
- **ATR Premium:** Average ATR of all calculated periods, providing an overarching volatility indicator.
- **ATR Table (Bottom Right Corner):**
- Displays clearly structured ATR values and percentages relative to the current close price:
- Columns: **ATR Period**, **Value**, and **% of Close**.
- Rows: Each specific ATR (1D, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50), plus ATR premium.
- The ATR premium is highlighted in yellow to signify its importance clearly.
---
## 🔹 Key Features and Logic Explained
- **Dynamic EMA/SMA Sorting:**
The script computes the average of each EMA/SMA pair and sorts them dynamically on each bar, highlighting their relative importance visually. This allows traders to easily interpret the strength of current support/resistance levels based on moving averages.
- **Closest EMA/SMA Pair to Current Price:**
Calculates the absolute difference between the current price and all EMA/SMA averages, highlighting the closest one for quick reference.
- **Fibonacci Ratios:**
- Dynamically calculated Fibonacci levels based on the "Golden" EMA/SMA average give clear visual guidance for potential targets, supports, and resistances.
- Labels are continuously updated and placed next to levels for clarity.
- **ATR Volatility Analysis:**
- Provides immediate insight into market volatility with absolute and relative (percentage-based) ATR values.
- ATR premium summarizes volatility across multiple timeframes clearly.
---
## 🔹 Practical Use Case:
- Traders can quickly identify support/resistance and critical price zones through EMA/SMA and Fibonacci combinations.
- Useful in assessing immediate volatility, guiding stop-loss and take-profit levels through detailed ATR metrics.
- The dynamic highlighting in tables provides intuitive, real-time decision support for active traders.
---
## 🔹 How to Use this Script:
1. **Adjust EMA & SMA Lengths** from indicator settings if different periods are preferred.
2. **Monitor dynamic Fibonacci levels** around the "Golden" average to identify possible reversal or continuation points.
3. **Check EMA/SMA table:** Rows highlighted indicate immediate significance concerning current market price.
4. **ATR table:** Use volatility metrics for better risk management.

This advanced Pine Script indicator efficiently combines multiple EMAs, SMAs, dynamic Fibonacci retracement levels, and volatility analysis using ATR into a comprehensive real-time analytical tool, enhancing traders' decision-making capabilities by providing clear and actionable insights directly on the TradingView chart.
3M-10Y Yield Spread3M-10Y Yield Spread Indicator Description
What It Is:
This indicator calculates the difference (spread) between the 3-month and 10-year US Treasury yields, plotted as a line with a zero reference. The background turns red when the spread inverts (falls below zero), signaling when the 3-month yield exceeds the 10-year yield.
What It Helps Understand:
Economic Health: An inverted yield curve (spread < 0) often predicts recessions, as it reflects market expectations of future economic slowdown, typically preceding downturns by 6-18 months.
Fed Policy Impact: Fed rate hikes can push short-term yields (like the 3-month) higher, potentially causing inversion if long-term yields (10-year) don’t rise as much due to growth concerns. Conversely, Fed rate cuts can lower short-term yields, steepening the curve (spread > 0), signaling economic stimulus or recovery expectations.
Quarters Theory Levels (Yotov Style)John Alex Sagwe's Quarters Theory Levels Script
This Pine Script, developed by John Alex Sagwe, is based on the concept of the "Quarters Theory" popularized by Illan Yotov. It aims to help traders identify key levels in the market using whole, half, and quarter-level calculations. The script plots major whole levels, half levels, and quarter levels above and below the current price, allowing traders to visualize potential price points where significant market action might occur.
The customizable parameters allow you to:
Set the base level and step size (for quarter levels),
Adjust the number of levels above and below the current price to be displayed,
Toggle between showing whole, half, or quarter levels,
Use price alerts when the market price nears these levels.
Whether you’re a novice or an experienced trader, this script can help you integrate the Quarters Theory into your trading strategy. It’s designed to be flexible and user-friendly, helping you visualize key market levels with ease.
Developed by: John Alex Sagwe, an avid trader and Pine Script enthusiast.
H4 Cross + LTF Candle Alignment (Short Lines)H4 Cross + LTF Candle Alignment (Short Lines)
This indicator identifies potential trade opportunities by combining two key conditions:
The current H4 candle crosses above or below the previous H4 candle's high or low.
On a lower timeframe (like 5 minutes), the price shows two consecutive candles moving in the same direction (bullish for long, bearish for short).
Once these conditions align, a short entry line is drawn on the chart and an alert is triggered, providing an early signal for potential price movements. Perfect for traders looking to capture trend continuation with a clear visual marker and timely alerts.
Global M2 Money+ Supply Input Lead (USD)Global M2 Money Supply + INR+CAD Input Lead (USD)
This indicator calculates the global M2 money supply in USD by aggregating M2 data from multiple economies, converted to USD using their respective exchange rates. It overlays the scaled M2 data on the chart with a user-defined time shift to analyze potential correlations with asset prices, such as Bitcoin. The indicator is designed to help traders assess global liquidity trends with a customizable lead or lag.
Countries Included:
Eurozone (EUM2)
North America: United States (USM2), Canada (CAM2)
Non-EU Europe: Switzerland (CHM2), United Kingdom (GBM2), Finland (FIM2), Russia (RUM2)
Pacific: New Zealand (NZM2)
Asia: China (CNM2), Taiwan (TWM2), Hong Kong (HKM2), India (INM2), Japan (JPM2), Philippines (PHM2), Singapore (SGM2)
Latin America: Brazil (BRM2), Colombia (COM2), Mexico (MXM2)
Middle East: United Arab Emirates (AEM2), Turkey (TRM2)
Africa: South Africa (ZAM2)
Input for Lead/Lag:
Time Shift (days): Adjust this input to shift the M2 data forward (positive values) or backward (negative values) on the chart. For example, setting a lead of 85 days shifts the M2 data 85 days into the future, helping traders analyze potential leading indicators for price movements.
PBOC Balance Sheet (Approx USD Trillions)This indicator displays the People's Bank of China (PBOC) Balance Sheet in approximate USD trillions, converted from CNY data (ECONOMICS:CNCBBS) using a fixed exchange rate of 1 USD ≈ 7 CNY. The data is smoothed with a 3-month SMA and plotted as a black line in a separate pane, with a reference line at 6.0 USD trillions. Ideal for analyzing long-term macroeconomic trends and correlations with other financial metrics like bond yields or asset prices, it includes error handling for missing data to ensure reliable visualization.
China 10-Year Yield Inverted with Time Lead (Months)The "China 10-Year Yield Inverted with Time Lead (Months)" indicator is a Pine Script tool for TradingView that displays the inverted China 10-Year Government Bond Yield (sourced from TVC:CN10Y) with a user-defined time lead or lag in months. The yield is inverted by multiplying it by -1, making a rising yield appear as a downward movement and vice versa, which helps visualize inverse correlations with other assets. Users can input the number of months to shift the yield forward (lead) or backward (lag), with the shift calculated based on the chart’s timeframe (e.g., 20 bars per month on daily charts). The indicator plots the shifted, inverted yield as a blue line in a separate pane, with a zero line for reference, enabling traders to analyze leading or lagging relationships with other financial data, such as the PBOC Balance Sheet or Bitcoin price.

OverUnder Yield Spread🗺️ OverUnder is a structural regime visualizer , engineered to diagnose the shape, tone, and trajectory of the yield curve. Rather than signaling trades directly, it informs traders of the world they’re operating in. Yield curve steepening or flattening, normalizing or inverting — each regime reflects a macro pressure zone that impacts duration demand, liquidity conditions, and systemic risk appetite. OverUnder abstracts that complexity into a color-coded compression map, helping traders orient themselves before making risk decisions. Whether you’re in bonds, currencies, crypto, or equities, the regime matters — and OverUnder makes it visible.
🧠 Core Logic
Built to show the slope and intent of a selected rate pair, the OverUnder Yield Spread defaults to 🇺🇸US10Y-US2Y, but can just as easily compare global sovereign curves or even dislocated monetary systems. This value is continuously monitored and passed through a debounce filter to determine whether the curve is:
• Inverted, or
• Steepening
If the curve is flattening below zero: the world is bracing for contraction. Policy lags. Risk appetite deteriorates. Duration gets bid, but only as protection. Stocks and speculative assets suffer, regardless of positioning.
📍 Curve Regimes in Bull and Bear Contexts
• Flattening occurs when the short and long ends compress . In a bull regime, flattening may reflect long-end demand or fading growth expectations. In a bear regime, flattening often precedes or confirms central bank tightening.
• Steepening indicates expanding spread . In a bull context, this may signal healthy risk appetite or early expansion. In a bear or crisis context, it may reflect aggressive front-end cuts and dislocation between short- and long-term expectations.
• If the curve is steepening above zero: the world is rotating into early expansion. Risk assets behave constructively. Bond traders position for normalization. Equities and crypto begin trending higher on rising forward expectations.
🖐️ Dynamically Colored Spread Line Reflects 1 of 4 Regime States
• 🟢 Normal / Steepening — early expansion or reflation
• 🔵 Normal / Flattening — late-cycle or neutral slowdown
• 🟠 Inverted / Steepening — policy reversal or soft landing attempt
• 🔴 Inverted / Flattening — hard contraction, credit stress, policy lag
🍋 The Lemon Label
At every bar, an anchored label floats directly on the spread line. It displays the active regime (in plain English) and the precise spread in percent (or basis points, depending on resolution). Colored lemon yellow, neither green nor red, the label is always legible — a design choice to de-emphasize bias and center the data .
🎨 Fill Zones
These bands offer spatial, persistent views of macro compression or inversion depth.
• Blue fill appears above the zero line in normal (non-inverted) conditions
• Red fill appears below the zero line during inversion
🧪 Sample Reading: 1W chart of TLT
OverUnder reveals a multi-year arc of structural inversion and regime transition. From mid-2021 through late 2023, the spread remains decisively inverted, signaling persistent flattening and credit stress as bond prices trended sharply lower. This prolonged inversion aligns with a high-volatility phase in TLT, marked by lower highs and an accelerating downtrend, confirming policy lag and macro tightening conditions.
As of early 2025, the spread has crossed back above the zero baseline into a “Normal / Steepening” regime (annotated at +0.56%), suggesting a macro inflection point. Price action remains subdued, but the shift in yield structure may foreshadow a change in trend context — particularly if follow-through in steepening persists.
🎭 Different Traders Respond Differently:
• Bond traders monitor slope change to anticipate policy pivots or recession signals.
• Equity traders use regime shifts to time rotations, from growth into defense, or from contraction into reflation.
• Currency traders interpret curve steepening as yield compression or divergence depending on region.
• Crypto traders treat inversion as a liquidity vacuum — and steepening as an early-phase risk unlock.
🛡️ Can It Compare Different Bond Markets?
Yes — with caveats. The indicator can be used to compare distinct sovereign yield instruments, for example:
• 🇫🇷FR10Y vs 🇩🇪DE10Y - France vs Germany
• 🇯🇵JP10Y vs 🇺🇸US10Y - BoJ vs Fed policy curves
However:
🙈 This no longer visualizes the domestic yield curve, but rather the differential between rate expectations across regions
🙉 The interpretation of “inversion” changes — it reflects spread compression across nations , not within a domestic yield structure
🙊 Color regimes should then be viewed as relative rate positioning , not absolute curve health
🙋🏻 Example: OverUnder compares French vs German 10Y yields
1. 🇫🇷 Change the long-duration ticker to FR10Y
2. 🇩🇪 Set the short-duration ticker to DE10Y
3. 🤔 Interpret the result as: “How much higher is France’s long-term borrowing cost vs Germany’s?”
You’ll see steepening when the spread rises (France decoupling), flattening when the spread compresses (convergence), and inversions when Germany yields rise above France’s — historically rare and meaningful.
🧐 Suggested Use
OverUnder is not a signal engine — it’s a context map. Its value comes from situating any trade idea within the prevailing yield regime. Use it before entries, not after them.
• On the 1W timeframe, OverUnder excels as a macro overlay. Yield regime shifts unfold over quarters, not days. Weekly structure smooths out rate volatility and reveals the true curvature of policy response and liquidity pressure. Use this view to orient your portfolio, define directional bias, or confirm long-duration trend turns in assets like TLT, SPX, or BTC.
• On the 1D timeframe, the indicator becomes tactically useful — especially when aligning breakout setups or trend continuations with steepening or flattening transitions. Daily views can also identify early-stage regime cracks that may not yet be visible on the weekly.
• Avoid sub-daily use unless you’re anchoring a thesis already built on higher timeframe structure. The yield curve is a macro construct — it doesn’t oscillate cleanly at intraday speeds. Shorter views may offer clarity during event-driven spikes (like FOMC reactions), but they do not replace weekly context.
Ultimately, OverUnder helps you decide: What kind of world am I trading in? Use it to confirm macro context, avoid fighting the curve, and lean into trades aligned with the broader pressure regime.
RSI + MA + Divergence + SnR + Price levelOverview
This indicator combines several technical analysis tools to give traders a comprehensive view based on the RSI indicator. Its main features include:
RSI & Moving Averages on RSI:
RSI: Calculates the RSI based on the closing price (or a user-selected source) with a configurable period (default is 14).
EMA and WMA: Computes and plots an Exponential Moving Average (EMA with a period of 9) and a Weighted Moving Average (WMA with a period of 45) on the RSI, helping to smooth out signals and better identify trends.
Price Ladder Based on RSI:
Draws horizontal lines at specified target RSI levels (from targetRSI1 to targetRSI7, default levels ranging from 20 to 80).
Calculates a target price based on the price change relative to the averaged gains and losses, providing an estimated price level when the RSI reaches those critical levels.
Divergence Detection:
Identifies divergence between price and RSI:
Bullish Divergence: Detected when the price forms a lower low but RSI fails to confirm with a corresponding lower low, with the RSI falling under a configurable threshold (d_below).
Bearish Divergence: Detected when the price forms a higher high while the RSI does not, with the RSI exceeding a configurable upper threshold (d_upper).
Optionally displays labels on the chart to alert the trader when divergence signals are detected.
Auto Support & Resistance on RSI:
Automatically calculates and plots support and resistance lines based on the RSI over different lookback periods (e.g., 34, 89, 200 bars).
Helps traders identify key RSI levels where price reversals or breakouts might occur.
Benefits for the Trader
This indicator is designed to assist traders in their decision-making process by integrating multiple technical analysis elements:
Identifying Market Trends:
By combining the RSI with its moving averages (EMA, WMA), traders can better assess market trends and the strength of these trends, thereby improving trade entry accuracy.
Early Reversal Signals via Divergence:
Divergence signals (both bullish and bearish) can help forecast potential reversals in the market, allowing traders to adjust their strategies timely.
Determining RSI-Based Support/Resistance Levels:
Automatic identification of support and resistance levels on the RSI provides key areas where a price reversal or breakout may occur, assisting traders in setting stop-loss and take-profit levels strategically.
Price Target Forecasting with the Price Ladder:
The target price labels calculated at important RSI levels provide insights into potential price objectives, aiding in risk management and profit planning.
Flexible Configuration:
Traders can customize key parameters such as the RSI period, lengths for EMA and WMA, target RSI levels, divergence conditions, and support/resistance settings. This flexibility allows the indicator to adapt to different trading styles and strategies.
How to read data
Some use-cases
Used to estimate price according to the RSI level.
When you trade using RSI, you want to set your stop-loss or take-profit levels based on RSI. By looking at the price ladder, you know the corresponding price level to enter a trade.
Used to determine the entry zone.
RSI often reacts to its own previously established support/resistance levels. Use the Auto SnR feature to identify those zones.
Used to determine the trend.
RSI and its moving averages help identify the price trend:
Uptrend: 3 lines separate and point upward.
Downtrend: 3 lines separate and point downward.
Use WMA45 to determine the trend:
Uptrend: WMA45 is moving upward or trading above the 50 level.
Downtrend: WMA45 is moving downward or trading below the 50 level.
Sideways: WMA45 is trading around the 50 level.
Use EMA9 to confirm the trend: A crossover of EMA9 through WMA45 confirms the formation of a new trend.

Mercury Venus Conjunction Sextiles 2019-2026How to Use It and What It Means Astrologically
How to Use the Script in TradingView
This Pine Script, called "Mercury Venus Aspects 2019–2026," is made to highlight the dates of Mercury-Venus conjunctions (0°) and sextiles (60°) from 2019 to 2026 on TradingView charts. Here's how to use it:
click “Add to Chart.” It will apply to any chart you have open—stocks, forex, crypto, etc.
Customize the Display
You can turn on/off the visibility of conjunctions and sextiles using checkboxes under "Inputs" in the settings.
You can also adjust the label size (small, normal, large, or huge) for better readability on your chart.
What You’ll See on the Chart
Conjunctions appear as blue shaded zones with labels like “C1,” “C2,” etc. These mark dates when Mercury and Venus are at the same degree.
Sextiles show up in orange with labels like “S1,” “S2,” marking when they’re about 60° apart.
Each event spans a 2-day window (one day before and after the exact aspect).
How to Use It Practically
You can overlay the script on market charts to look for any patterns between these planetary aspects and price movements.
You can also use it to plan personal or financial activities, since these aspects often affect communication, money, and relationships.
What to Keep in Mind
Dates are approximate and based on average planetary cycles (Mercury: ~88 days, Venus: ~225 days). For exact timing, use an ephemeris.
Only conjunctions and sextiles are shown. Oppositions, squares, and trines aren’t included because Mercury and Venus never get far enough apart (more than 75°).
This script is great for astrologers, traders, and enthusiasts who want to see Mercury-Venus aspects directly on their charts and explore their possible effects.
Astrological Meaning of Mercury-Venus Aspects
What Mercury and Venus Represent
Mercury rules communication, thinking, technology, travel, and trade. In global events (mundane astrology), it affects media, markets, and movement of information.
Venus is about love, beauty, money, and pleasure. It influences relationships, aesthetics, and finance. In the world stage, it’s linked to luxury, art, fashion, and economic balance.
When Mercury and Venus form aspects (like conjunctions or sextiles), their energies mix in helpful ways that can affect people and events.
Conjunction (0°) – Mercury and Venus Together
These two planets are in the same sign and degree, so their qualities merge.
For people:
Positive: Smooth communication, charm, creativity, and better relationships. Great for romance, art, and social interaction.
Negative: Too much focus on appearances, sweet talk, or pleasure can cloud judgment. Decisions may lack depth.
For the economy:
Positive: Boosts in media, entertainment, fashion, and tech. Good for trade, deals, and optimism in financial markets.
Negative: Risk of overspending or unrealistic expectations. May cause small market bubbles or misleading hype.
Sextile (60°) – Mercury and Venus in Harmony
These two planets are two signs apart, creating a smooth, supportive energy.
For people:
Positive: Easy conversations, creative teamwork, small financial wins, and pleasant social experiences.
Negative: Energy is mild, so opportunities might be missed if not acted on. People may avoid hard decisions.
For the economy:
Positive: Gradual improvements in areas like marketing, social media, hospitality, and design. Good for diplomacy.
Negative: Lack of strong initiative could limit bigger gains. Minor missteps are possible due to a laid-back attitude.
General Effects
These aspects are mostly beneficial. They support creativity, financial thinking, and social harmony.
Downsides: Conjunctions may lead to overindulgence or shallow choices, while sextiles may cause missed chances due to low energy.
These aspects rarely cause major economic shifts on their own but can amplify trends depending on other planetary influences (like Saturn or Uranus).

Probability Grid [LuxAlgo]The Probability Grid tool allows traders to see the probability of where and when the next reversal would occur, it displays a 10x10 grid and/or dashboard with the probability of the next reversal occurring beyond each cell or within each cell.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays deciles (percentiles from 0 to 90), users can enable, disable and modify each percentile, but two of them must always be enabled or the tool will display an error message alerting of it.
The use of the tool is quite simple, as shown in the chart above, the further the price moves on the grid, the higher the probability of a reversal.
In this case, the reversal took place on the cell with a probability of 9%, which means that there is a probability of 91% within the square defined by the last reversal and this cell.
🔹 Grid vs Dashboard
The tool can display a grid starting from the last reversal and/or a dashboard at three predefined locations, as shown in the chart above.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Raw Data vs Normalized Data
By default the tool displays the normalized data, this means that instead of using the raw data (price delta between reversals) it uses the returns between each reversal, this is useful to make an apples to apples comparison of all the data in the dataset.
This can be seen in the left side of the chart above (BTCUSD Daily chart) where normalize data is disabled, the percentiles from 0 to 40 overlap and are indistinguishable from each other because the tool uses the raw price delta over the entire bitcoin history, with normalize data enabled as we can see in the right side of the chart we can have a fair comparison of the data over the entire history.
🔹 Probability Beyond or Within Each Cell
Two different probability modes are available, the default mode is Probability Beyond Each Cell, the number displayed in each cell is the probability of the next reversal to be located in the area beyond the cell, for example, if the cell displays 20%, it means that in the area formed by the square starting from the last reversal and ending at the cell, there is an 80% probability and outside that square there is a 20% probability for the location of the next reversal.
The second probability mode is the probability within each cell, this outlines the chance that the next reversal will be within the cell, as we can see on the right chart above, when using deciles as percentiles (default settings), each cell has the same 1% probability for the 10x10 grid.
🔶 SETTINGS

SMT Divergence ICT 02 [TradingFinder] Smart Money Technique SMC🔵 Introduction
SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique Divergence) is a price action-based trading concept that detects discrepancies in market behavior between two assets that are generally expected to move in the same direction. Rooted in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, this approach helps traders recognize subtle signs of market manipulation or imbalance, often ahead of traditional indicators.
The core idea behind SMT divergence is simple: when two correlated instruments—such as currency pairs, indices, or assets from the same sector—start forming different swing points (highs or lows), this can reveal a lack of confirmation in the trend. Such divergence is often a precursor to a price reversal or pause in momentum.
This technique works effectively across various markets including Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. It’s particularly valuable when used alongside concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSBs), or order block identification.
In advanced use cases, Sequential SMT helps uncover patterns of alternating divergences across sessions, often signaling engineered liquidity traps before price reacts.
When combined with the Quarterly Theory—which segments market behavior into Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases—traders gain insight not only into where divergence happens, but when it's most likely to be significant within the market cycle.
Bullish SMT :
Bullish SMT Divergence occurs when one asset prints a higher low while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This asymmetry often suggests that the downside move is losing strength, hinting at a potential bullish shift.
Bearish SMT :
Bearish SMT Divergence is formed when one asset creates a higher high, while the second asset fails to confirm by printing a lower high. This typically signals weakening bullish pressure and the possibility of a reversal to the downside.
🔵 How to Use
The SMT Divergence indicator is designed to detect imbalances between two positively correlated assets—such as major currency pairs, indices, or commodities. These divergences often indicate early signs of market inefficiency or smart money manipulation and can help traders anticipate trend shifts with higher precision.
Unlike traditional divergence indicators or earlier versions of this script, this upgraded version does not rely solely on consecutive pivot comparisons. Instead, it dynamically scans all available pivots within the chart to identify divergences at any structural level—major or minor—across the price action. This broader detection method increases the reliability and frequency of meaningful SMT signals.
Moreover, when integrated with Sequential SMT logic, the indicator is capable of identifying multiple divergence sequences across sessions. These sequences often signal engineered liquidity traps and can be mapped within the Quarterly Theory framework, allowing traders to pinpoint not just the presence of divergence but also the phase of the market cycle it appears in (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation).
🟣 Bullish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset forms a higher low, while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This pattern implies weakening bearish momentum and a potential shift to the upside.
If the correlated asset breaks its previous low but the primary asset does not, this divergence suggests absorption of selling pressure and possible accumulation by smart money—making it a strong bullish signal, especially when aligned with a favorable market phase (e.g., the end of a manipulation phase in Q2).
🟣 Bearish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset creates a higher high, while the correlated asset forms a lower high. This mismatch indicates fading bullish momentum and a potential reversal to the downside.
If the correlated asset fails to confirm a breakout made by the main asset, the divergence may point to distribution or exhaustion. When seen within Q3 or Q4 phases of the Quarterly Theory, this pattern often precedes sharp declines or fake-outs engineered by smart money

EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics (Gap Momentum & EWMA Projection)EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics (Gap Momentum & EWMA Projection)
🚨 Main Utility: Early Squeeze Warning
The primary function of this indicator is to warn traders early when the market is approaching a "squeeze"—a tightening condition that often precedes significant moves or regime shifts. By visually highlighting areas of increasing tension, it helps traders anticipate potential volatility and prepare accordingly. This is intended to be a statistically and psychologically grounded replacement of so-called "fib-time-zones," which are overly-deterministic and subjective.
📌 Overview
The EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics indicator projects future regime shifts (such as golden and death crosses) using exponential moving averages (EMAs). It employs historical interval data and current market conditions to dynamically forecast when the critical EMAs (50-period and 200-period) will reconverge, marking likely trend-change points.
This indicator leverages two core ideas:
Behavioral finance theory: Traders often collectively anticipate popular EMA crossovers, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy (normative social influence), similar to findings from Solomon Asch’s conformity experiments.
Bayesian-like updates: It utilizes historical crossover intervals as a prior, dynamically updating expectations based on evolving market data, ensuring its signals remain objectively grounded in actual market behavior.
⚙️ Technical & Mathematical Explanation
1. EMA Calculations and Regime Definitions
The indicator uses three EMAs:
Fast (9-period): Represents short-term price movement.
Medial (50-period): Indicates medium-term trend direction.
Slow (200-period): Defines long-term market sentiment.
Regime States:
Bullish: 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA.
Bearish: 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA.
A shift between these states triggers visual markers (arrows and labels) directly on the chart.
2. Gap Dynamics and Historical Intervals
At each crossover:
The indicator records the gap (distance) between the 50 and 200 EMAs.
It tracks the historical intervals between past crossovers.
An Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) of these intervals is calculated, weighting recent intervals more heavily, dynamically updating expectations.
Important note:
After every regime shift, the projected crossover line resets its calculation. This reset is visually evident as the projection line appears to move further away after each regime change, temporarily "repelled" until the EMAs begin converging again. This ensures projections remain realistic, grounded in actual EMA convergence, and prevents overly optimistic forecasts immediately after a regime shift.
3. Gap Momentum & Adaptive Scaling
The indicator measures how quickly or slowly the gap between EMAs is changing ("gap momentum") and adjusts its forecast accordingly:
If the gap narrows rapidly, a crossover becomes more imminent.
If the gap widens, the next crossover is pushed further into the future.
The "gap factor" dynamically scales the projection based on recent gap momentum, bounded between reasonable limits (0.7–1.3).
4. Squeeze Ratio & Background Color (Visual Cues)
A "squeeze ratio" is computed when market conditions indicate tightening:
In a bullish regime, if the fast EMA is below the medial EMA (price pulling back towards long-term support), the squeeze ratio increases.
In a bearish regime, if the fast EMA rises above the medial EMA (price rallying into long-term resistance), the squeeze ratio increases.
What the Background Colors Mean:
Red Background: Indicates a bullish squeeze—price is compressing downward, hinting a bullish reversal or continuation breakout may occur soon.
Green Background: Indicates a bearish squeeze—price is compressing upward, suggesting a bearish reversal or continuation breakout could soon follow.
Opacity Explanation:
The transparency (opacity) of the background indicates the intensity of the squeeze:
High Opacity (solid color): Strong squeeze, high likelihood of imminent volatility or regime shift.
Low Opacity (faint color): Mild squeeze, signaling early stages of tightening.
Thus, more vivid colors serve as urgent visual warnings that a squeeze is rapidly intensifying.
5. Projected Next Crossover and Pseudo Crossover Mechanism
The indicator calculates an estimated future bar when a crossover (and thus, regime shift) is expected to occur. This calculation incorporates:
Historical EWMA interval.
Current squeeze intensity.
Gap momentum.
A dynamic penalty based on divergence from baseline conditions.
The "Pseudo Crossover" Explained:
A key adaptive feature is the pseudo crossover mechanism. If price action significantly deviates from the projected crossover (for example, if price stays beyond the projected line longer than expected), the indicator acknowledges the projection was incorrect and triggers a "pseudo crossover" event. Essentially, this acts as a reset, updating historical intervals with a weighted adjustment to recalibrate future predictions. In other words, if the indicator’s initial forecast proves inaccurate, it recognizes this quickly, resets itself, and tries again—ensuring it remains responsive and adaptive to actual market conditions.
🧠 Behavioral Theory: Normative Social Influence
This indicator is rooted in behavioral finance theory, specifically leveraging normative social influence (conformity). Traders commonly watch EMA signals (especially the 50 and 200 EMA crossovers). When traders collectively anticipate these signals, they begin trading ahead of actual crossovers, effectively creating self-fulfilling prophecies—similar to Solomon Asch’s famous conformity experiments, where individuals adopted group behaviors even against direct evidence.
This behavior means genuine regime shifts (actual EMA crossovers) rarely occur until EMAs visibly reconverge due to widespread anticipatory trading activity. The indicator quantifies these dynamics by objectively measuring EMA convergence and updating projections accordingly.
📊 How to Use This Indicator
Monitor the background color and opacity as primary visual cues.
A strongly colored background (solid red/green) is an early alert that a squeeze is intensifying—prepare for potential volatility or a regime shift.
Projected crossover lines give a dynamic target bar to watch for trend reversals or confirmations.
After each regime shift, expect a reset of the projection line. The line may seem initially repelled from price action, but it will recalibrate as EMAs converge again.
Trust the pseudo crossover mechanism to automatically recalibrate the indicator if its original projection misses.
🎯 Why Choose This Indicator?
Early Warning: Visual squeeze intensity helps anticipate market breakouts.
Behaviorally Grounded: Leverages real trader psychology (conformity and anticipation).
Objective & Adaptive: Uses real-time, data-driven updates rather than static levels or subjective analysis.
Easy to Interpret: Clear visual signals (arrows, labels, colors) simplify trading decisions.
Self-correcting (Pseudo Crossovers): Quickly adjusts when initial predictions miss, maintaining accuracy over time.
Summary:
The EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics Indicator combines behavioral insights, dynamic Bayesian-like updates, intuitive visual cues, and a self-correcting pseudo crossover feature to offer traders a reliable early warning system for market squeezes and impending regime shifts. It transparently recalibrates after each regime shift and automatically resets whenever projections prove inaccurate—ensuring you always have an adaptive, realistic forecast.
Whether you're a discretionary trader or algorithmic strategist, this indicator provides a powerful tool to navigate market volatility effectively.

Half Causal EstimatorOverview
The Half Causal Estimator is a specialized filtering method that provides responsive averages of market variables (volume, true range, or price change) with significantly reduced time delay compared to traditional moving averages. It employs a hybrid approach that leverages both historical data and time-of-day patterns to create a timely representation of market activity while maintaining smooth output.
Core Concept
Traditional moving averages suffer from time lag, which can delay signals and reduce their effectiveness for real-time decision making. The Half Causal Estimator addresses this limitation by using a non-causal filtering method that incorporates recent historical data (the causal component) alongside expected future behavior based on time-of-day patterns (the non-causal component).
This dual approach allows the filter to respond more quickly to changing market conditions while maintaining smoothness. The name "Half Causal" refers to this hybrid methodology—half of the data window comes from actual historical observations, while the other half is derived from time-of-day patterns observed over multiple days. By incorporating these "future" values from past patterns, the estimator can reduce the inherent lag present in traditional moving averages.
How It Works
The indicator operates through several coordinated steps. First, it stores and organizes market data by specific times of day (minutes/hours). Then it builds a profile of typical behavior for each time period. For calculations, it creates a filtering window where half consists of recent actual data and half consists of expected future values based on historical time-of-day patterns. Finally, it applies a kernel-based smoothing function to weight the values in this composite window.
This approach is particularly effective because market variables like volume, true range, and price changes tend to follow recognizable intraday patterns (they are positive values without DC components). By leveraging these patterns, the indicator doesn't try to predict future values in the traditional sense, but rather incorporates the average historical behavior at those future times into the current estimate.
The benefit of using this "average future data" approach is that it counteracts the lag inherent in traditional moving averages. In a standard moving average, recent price action is underweighted because older data points hold equal influence. By incorporating time-of-day averages for future periods, the Half Causal Estimator essentially shifts the center of the filter window closer to the current bar, resulting in more timely outputs while maintaining smoothing benefits.
Understanding Kernel Smoothing
At the heart of the Half Causal Estimator is kernel smoothing, a statistical technique that creates weighted averages where points closer to the center receive higher weights. This approach offers several advantages over simple moving averages. Unlike simple moving averages that weight all points equally, kernel smoothing applies a mathematically defined weight distribution. The weighting function helps minimize the impact of outliers and random fluctuations. Additionally, by adjusting the kernel width parameter, users can fine-tune the balance between responsiveness and smoothness.
The indicator supports three kernel types. The Gaussian kernel uses a bell-shaped distribution that weights central points heavily while still considering distant points. The Epanechnikov kernel employs a parabolic function that provides efficient noise reduction with a finite support range. The Triangular kernel applies a linear weighting that decreases uniformly from center to edges. These kernel functions provide the mathematical foundation for how the filter processes the combined window of past and "future" data points.
Applicable Data Sources
The indicator can be applied to three different data sources: volume (the trading volume of the security), true range (expressed as a percentage, measuring volatility), and change (the absolute percentage change from one closing price to the next).
Each of these variables shares the characteristic of being consistently positive and exhibiting cyclical intraday patterns, making them ideal candidates for this filtering approach.
Practical Applications
The Half Causal Estimator excels in scenarios where timely information is crucial. It helps in identifying volume climaxes or diminishing volume trends earlier than conventional indicators. It can detect changes in volatility patterns with reduced lag. The indicator is also useful for recognizing shifts in price momentum before they become obvious in price action, and providing smoother data for algorithmic trading systems that require reduced noise without sacrificing timeliness.
When volatility or volume spikes occur, conventional moving averages typically lag behind, potentially causing missed opportunities or delayed responses. The Half Causal Estimator produces signals that align more closely with actual market turns.
Technical Implementation
The implementation of the Half Causal Estimator involves several technical components working together. Data collection and organization is the first step—the indicator maintains a data structure that organizes market data by specific times of day. This creates a historical record of how volume, true range, or price change typically behaves at each minute/hour of the trading day.
For each calculation, the indicator constructs a composite window consisting of recent actual data points from the current session (the causal half) and historical averages for upcoming time periods from previous sessions (the non-causal half). The selected kernel function is then applied to this composite window, creating a weighted average where points closer to the center receive higher weights according to the mathematical properties of the chosen kernel. Finally, the kernel weights are normalized to ensure the output maintains proper scaling regardless of the kernel type or width parameter.
This framework enables the indicator to leverage the predictable time-of-day components in market data without trying to predict specific future values. Instead, it uses average historical patterns to reduce lag while maintaining the statistical benefits of smoothing techniques.
Configuration Options
The indicator provides several customization options. The data period setting determines the number of days of observations to store (0 uses all available data). Filter length controls the number of historical data points for the filter (total window size is length × 2 - 1). Filter width adjusts the width of the kernel function. Users can also select between Gaussian, Epanechnikov, and Triangular kernel functions, and customize visual settings such as colors and line width.
These parameters allow for fine-tuning the balance between responsiveness and smoothness based on individual trading preferences and the specific characteristics of the traded instrument.
Limitations
The indicator requires minute-based intraday timeframes, securities with volume data (when using volume as the source), and sufficient historical data to establish time-of-day patterns.
Conclusion
The Half Causal Estimator represents an innovative approach to technical analysis that addresses one of the fundamental limitations of traditional indicators: time lag. By incorporating time-of-day patterns into its calculations, it provides a more timely representation of market variables while maintaining the noise-reduction benefits of smoothing. This makes it a valuable tool for traders who need to make decisions based on real-time information about volume, volatility, or price changes.

RVOL Effort Matrix💪🏻 RVOL Effort Matrix is a tiered volume framework that translates crowd participation into structure-aware visual zones. Rather than simply flagging spikes, it measures each bar’s volume as a ratio of its historical average and assigns to that effort dynamic tiers, creating a real-time map of conviction , exhaustion , and imbalance —before price even confirms.
⚖️ At its core, the tool builds a histogram of relative volume (RVOL). When enabled, a second layer overlays directional effort by estimating buy vs sell volume using candle body logic. If the candle closes higher, green (buy) volume dominates. If it closes lower, red (sell) volume leads. These components are stacked proportionally and inset beneath a colored cap line—a small but powerful layer that maintains visibility of the true effort tier even when split bars are active. The cap matches the original zone color, preserving context at all times.
Coloration communicates rhythm, tempo, and potential turning points:
• 🔴 = structurally weak effort, i.e. failed moves, fake-outs or trend exhaustion
• 🟡 = neutral volume, as seen in consolidations or pullbacks
• 🟢 = genuine commitment, good for continuation, breakout filters, or early rotation signals
• 🟣 = explosive volume signaling either climax or institutional entry—beware!
Background shading (optional) mirrors these zones across the pane for structural scanning at a glance. Volume bars can be toggled between full-stack mode or clean column view. Every layer is modular—built for composability with tools like ZVOL or OBVX Conviction Bias.
🧐 Ideal Use-Cases:
• 🕰 HTF bias anchoring → LTF execution
• 🧭 Identifying when structure is being driven by real crowd pressure
• 🚫 Fading green/fuchsia bars that fail to break structure
• ✅ Riding green/fuchsia follow-through in directional moves
🍷 Recommended Pairings:
• ZVOL for statistically significant volume anomaly detection
• OBVX Conviction Bias ↔️ for directional confirmation of effort zones
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 for structure-congruent entry filtering
• ATR Turbulence Ribbon to distinguish expansion pressure from churn
🥁 RVOL Effort Matrix is all about seeing—how much pressure is behind a move, whether that pressure is sustainable, and whether the crowd is aligned with price. It's volume, but readable. It’s structure, but dynamic. It’s the difference between obeying noise and trading to the beat of the market.
