Stop Cascade Detector Stop Cascade Detector (DAFE)
Unlock the Hidden Triggers of Market Momentum!
The Stop Cascade Detector (Bull & Bear, Info Bubble) is a next-generation tool designed for traders who want to see what the crowd can’t: the precise moments when clusters of stop orders are being triggered, unleashing explosive moves in either direction. The reason for this is traders taking there position too early. We on the other hand will take our positions once the less informed traders have been liquidated.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Not Just Another Volatility Tool:
This script doesn’t just measure volatility or volume. It detects the chain reactions that occur when price and volume spikes combine to trigger stop-loss clusters—events that often precede the most powerful surges and reversals in any market.
Directional Intelligence:
Unlike generic “spike” detectors, this tool distinguishes between bullish stop cascades (green, above the bar) and bearish stop cascades (red, below the bar), giving you instant clarity on which side of the market is being liquidated.
Visual Precision:
Each event is marked with a color-coded info bubble and a triangle, clearly separated from the price bars for maximum readability. No more guessing where the action is—see it, trade it, and stay ahead.
Universal Application:
Works on any asset, any timeframe, and in any market—futures, stocks, crypto, forex. If there are stops, this indicator will find the cascade.
What makes it work?
Momentum + Volume Spike:
The detector identifies bars where both price momentum and volume are simultaneously extreme (using Z-scores). This combination is a classic signature of stop runs and forced liquidations.
Bull & Bear Detection:
Bull Stop Cascade : Price plunges downward with a volume spike—likely longs getting stopped out.
Bear Stop Cascade: Price surges upward with a volume spike—likely shorts getting stopped out.
Info Bubbles:
Each event is labeled with the exact Z-scores for momentum and volume, so you can gauge the intensity of the cascade at a glance.
What will it do for you?
Front-Run the Crowd:
Most traders react after the move. This tool helps you spot the cause of the move—giving you a tactical edge to fade exhaustion, ride momentum, or avoid getting trapped.
Perfect for Scalpers, Day Traders, and Swing Traders:
Whether you’re looking for high-probability reversals or want to ride the wave, knowing when stops are being triggered is a game-changer.
No More Blind Spots:
Stop cascades are the hidden fuel behind many of the market’s biggest moves. Now you can see them in real time.
How to Use
Red Bubble Above Bar: Bear stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Green Bubble Below Bar: Bull stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Combine with Your Strategy : Use as a confirmation tool, a reversal signal, or a filter for high-volatility environments. Level up your trading. See the market’s hidden triggers.
Stop Cascade Detector: Because the real edge is knowing what sets the market on fire.

Trend Volatility Index (TVI)Trend Volatility Index (TVI)
A robust nonparametric oscillator for structural trend volatility detection
⸻
What is this?
TVI is a volatility oscillator designed to measure the strength and emergence of price trends using nonparametric statistics.
It calculates a U-statistic based on the Gini mean difference across multiple simple moving averages.
This allows for objective, robust, and unbiased quantification of trend volatility in tick-scale values.
⸻
What can it do?
• Quantify trend strength as a continuous value aligned with tick price scale
• Detect trend breakouts and volatility expansions
• Identify range-bound market states
• Detect early signs of new trends with minimal lag
⸻
What can’t it do?
• Predict future price levels
• Predict trend direction before confirmation
⸻
How it works
TVI computes a nonparametric dispersion metric (Gini mean difference) from multiple SMAs of different lengths.
As this metric shares the same dimension as price ticks, it can be directly interpreted on the chart as a volatility gauge.
The output is plotted using candlestick-style charts to enhance visibility of change rate and trend behavior.
⸻
Disclaimer
TVI does not predict price. It is a structural indicator designed to support discretionary judgment.
Trading carries inherent risk, and this tool does not guarantee profitability. Use at your own discretion.
⸻
Innovation
This indicator introduces a novel approach to trend volatility by applying U-statistics over time series
to produce a nonparametric, unbiased, and robust estimate of structural volatility.

Ind JDV 2.2 PRO con FVG y 3 EMAs
📝 Description for TradingView (English version):
Ind JDV 2.2 PRO with FVG and 3 EMAs
Overview:
This script identifies high-probability entry points by combining Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), trend filters using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and momentum confirmation via Chandelier Exit. It focuses on structural imbalance and only triggers a signal on the third candle of a valid FVG—ensuring precision and trend alignment.
What does this indicator do and how does it work?
🔶 Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
The script detects FVGs using a standard 3-candle logic. If candle 1 and candle 3 do not overlap, a liquidity gap is detected. These gaps are drawn as extended boxes, helping traders visually track potential zones of reaction or continuation.
Orange FVG (traditionally bearish): Potential selling zones.
Green FVG (traditionally bullish): Potential buying zones.
🔷 Three EMAs as Trend Filters:
The system includes 3 configurable Exponential Moving Averages to help filter trades based on trend strength:
EMA 150 (main trend filter)
EMA 50 (mid-term trend)
EMA 20 (short-term sensitivity)
You can enable or disable the EMA filter for flexible use across scalping, intraday, or swing setups.
🟣 Chandelier Exit for Momentum Confirmation:
This dynamic ATR-based trailing stop is used here as an entry confirmation:
Long trades: Price must be above the Chandelier Long level.
Short trades: Price must be below the Chandelier Short level.
Entry Conditions (BUY or SELL signal):
A signal appears only on the third candle of a valid FVG, and only if:
A valid FVG was detected exactly 2 bars ago.
The signal direction matches the FVG type (green = BUY, orange = SELL).
Price is aligned with the main EMA direction.
Chandelier Exit confirms the momentum in the same direction.
How to Use:
Load the indicator on your preferred chart and timeframe (ideal for NASDAQ, crypto, or futures).
Observe painted FVGs as potential areas of trade opportunity.
Wait for a BUY or SELL signal exactly on the 3rd candle of the FVG.
Use the optional TP/SL lines or your own trade management strategy.
What makes this script original and useful?
This script is not a simple mashup of indicators. Its originality comes from:
A disciplined FVG logic with strict timing of signal placement.
The layered confirmation from trend (EMAs) and momentum (Chandelier Exit).
Full user control over entry conditions and visual clarity.
👉 A powerful tool for traders seeking to enter structural imbalance zones with strong confirmation and minimal noise.
📝 Descripción para TradingView (publicación en español):
Ind JDV 2.2 PRO con FVG y 3 EMAs
Resumen:
Este script está diseñado para detectar oportunidades de entrada precisas en el mercado combinando la lógica de Fair Value Gaps (FVG) con filtros de tendencia basados en EMAs y confirmación por medio del Chandelier Exit. La estrategia se enfoca en detectar desequilibrios de liquidez mediante FVGs de 3 velas y entrar en la tercera vela, solo si las condiciones de tendencia y momentum se alinean.
¿Qué hace este indicador y en qué se basa?
🔶 Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
Los FVGs se detectan usando la clásica estructura de 3 velas. Se interpreta que si la vela 1 no solapa con la vela 3, existe un desequilibrio de liquidez que puede ser rellenado o actuar como zona de reacción.
Un FVG alcista (color naranja) indica posible impulso bajista posterior.
Un FVG bajista (color verde) indica potencial continuación alcista.
✅ Este script pinta esos FVGs como rectángulos que se extienden varias velas hacia adelante para facilitar su seguimiento visual.
🔷 Tres EMAs como filtros dinámicos:
El indicador incorpora 3 medias móviles exponenciales para filtrar condiciones de tendencia:
EMA principal de 150 periodos (filtro estructural).
EMA secundaria de 50 periodos.
EMA rápida de 20 periodos.
El usuario puede habilitar o deshabilitar el filtro principal para afinar la sensibilidad del sistema según el estilo operativo (scalping, intradía, swing).
🟣 Chandelier Exit como confirmación de momentum:
El Chandelier Exit actúa como trailing stop dinámico basado en ATR. Aquí se utiliza como confirmación de entrada:
En largos: el precio debe estar por encima del nivel Chandelier Long.
En cortos: debe estar por debajo del Chandelier Short.
Condición de entrada (señal BUY o SELL):
Una señal aparece únicamente en la tercera vela de un FVG si se cumplen:
Existencia de un FVG válido hace dos velas.
Dirección del FVG acorde a la señal (verde → BUY, naranja → SELL).
Precio cruzando la EMA principal en la dirección correcta.
Confirmación por Chandelier Exit.
¿Cómo usar este script?
Añádelo a tu gráfico y selecciona el activo y temporalidad de tu preferencia (ideal para NASDAQ, futuros, criptomonedas).
Usa los rectángulos como zonas de observación.
Espera una señal BUY o SELL sobre la tercera vela del FVG.
Puedes activar las líneas TP/SL sugeridas o aplicar tu propio manejo de riesgo.
¿Qué lo hace original y útil?
Este script no es una simple mezcla de indicadores. La originalidad radica en:
El uso riguroso de lógica de FVG aplicada sobre 3 velas, con señal solo en el momento justo.
La combinación con filtros de tendencia (EMAs) y momentum (Chandelier) para evitar entradas falsas.
El control total por parte del usuario sobre filtros y parámetros.
👉 Ideal para traders que buscan confirmar desequilibrios de precio con reglas objetivas de entrada en tendencia.
En Resumen: si el precio esta por encima de la EMA principal solo se toman las señales de buy despues de que se forme un FVG. no todas funcionan. y visceversa.
happy trading!!
(FVC) Fractal Volatility Compression (DAFE) (FVC) Fractal Volatility Compression
See the Market’s Volatility DNA.
The Fractal Volatility Compression (FVC) is a next-generation tool for traders who want to see volatility compression and expansion across multiple timeframes and volatility engines—not just price, but the very structure of volatility itself.
What Makes FVC Unique?
Dual-Engine Volatility:
Plots both classic price-based (Stdev) and meta-volatility (VoVix) compression/expansion, so you can see when the market is “coiling” or “exploding” on multiple levels.
Fractal, Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Measures volatility on short, medium, and long timeframes, then normalizes each as a Z-score. The result: a true “coiled spring” detector that works on any asset, any timeframe.
Threshold Lines You Control:
Yellow center line: Your neutral baseline.
Green compression line: When crossed, the market is “spring-loading.”
Red expansion line: When crossed, volatility is breaking out.
All lines are solid, clean, and end before the dashboard for a professional look.
Agreement Fill: When both engines agree (both above or both below the center line), a bright fill highlights the zone—red for expansion, green for compression.
Signature Dashboard & Info Line:
Dashboard (right-middle) shows all Z-scores and FVC values, color-coded for instant clarity.
Compact info label for mobile or minimalist users.
Inputs & Customization
Thresholds: Set the yellow, green, and red lines to match your asset, timeframe, and risk tolerance.
Timeframes & Lengths: Tune the short, medium, and long volatility windows for your style.
Toggle Lines: Show/hide Stdev or VoVix FVC lines independently.
Dashboard & Info Line: Toggle for your workflow and screen size.
How to Use
Compression (below green): Market is “coiling” across timeframes—watch for explosive moves.
Expansion (above red): Volatility is breaking out—expect regime shifts or trend acceleration.
Agreement Fill: When both lines agree, the signal is strongest.
Not a Buy/Sell Signal: These are regime and structure signals—combine with your own
strategy and risk management.
Why should you use FVC?
See what others can’t:
Most tools show only one dimension of volatility. FVC reveals the fractal DNA of market compression and expansion. Works on any asset, any timeframe. Professional, clean, and fully customizable.
Fractal Volatility Compression (FVC):
Because the next big move is born in the market’s hidden compression.

(MVD) Meta-Volatility Divergence (DAFE) Meta-Volatility Divergence (MVD)
Reveal the Hidden Tension in Volatility.
The Meta-Volatility Divergence (MVD) indicator is a next-generation tool designed to expose the disagreement between multiple volatility measures—helping you spot when the market’s “volatility engines” are out of sync, and a regime shift or volatility event may be brewing.
What Makes MVD Unique?
Multi-Source Volatility Analysis:
Unlike traditional volatility indicators that rely on a single measure, MVD fuses four distinct volatility signals:
ATR (Average True Range): Captures the average range of price movement.
Stdev (Standard Deviation): Measures the dispersion of closing prices.
Range: The average difference between high and low.
VoVix: A proprietary “volatility of volatility” metric, quantifying the difference between fast and slow ATR, normalized by ATR’s own volatility.
Divergence Engine:
The core MVD line (yellow) represents the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of these volatility measures from their average. When the line is flat, all volatility measures are in agreement. When the line rises, it means the market’s volatility signals are diverging—often a precursor to regime shifts, volatility expansions, or hidden stress.
Dynamic Z-Score Normalization:
The MVD line is normalized as a Z-score, so you can easily spot when current divergence is rare or extreme compared to recent history.
Visual Clarity:
Yellow center line: Tracks the real-time divergence of volatility measures.
Green dashed thresholds: Mark the ±2.00 Z-score levels, highlighting when divergence is unusually high and action may be warranted.
Dashboard: Toggleable panel shows all key metrics (ATR, Stdev, VoVix, MVD Z) and your custom branding.
Compact Info Label : For mobile or minimalist users, a single-line summary keeps you informed without clutter.
What Makes The MVD line move?
- The MVD line rises when the included volatility measures (ATR, Stdev, Range, VoVix) are moving in different directions or at different magnitudes. For example, if ATR is rising but Stdev is falling, the line will move up, signaling disagreement.
- The line falls or flattens when all volatility measures are in sync, indicating a consensus in the market’s volatility regime.
- VoVix adds a unique dimension, making the indicator especially sensitive to sudden changes in volatility structure that most tools miss.
Inputs & Settings
ATR Length: Sets the lookback for ATR calculation. Shorter = more sensitive, longer = smoother.
Stdev Length: Sets the lookback for standard deviation. Adjust for your asset’s volatility.
Range Length: Sets the lookback for the average high-low range.
MVD Lookback: Controls the window for Z-score normalization. Higher values = more historical context, lower = more responsive.
Show Dashboard: Toggle the full dashboard panel on/off.
Show Compact Info Label: Toggle the mobile-friendly info line on/off.
Tip:
Adjust these settings to match your asset’s volatility and your trading timeframe. There is no “one size fits all”—tuning is key to extracting the most value from MVD.
How to make MVD work for you:
Threshold Crosses: When the MVD line crosses above or below the green dashed thresholds (±2.00), it signals that volatility measures are diverging more than usual. This is a heads-up that a volatility event, regime shift, or hidden market stress may be developing.
Not a Buy/Sell Signal: A threshold cross is not a direct buy or sell signal. It is an indication that the market’s volatility structure is changing. Use it as a filter, confirmation, or alert in combination with your own strategy and risk management.
Dashboard & Info Line: Use the dashboard for a full view of all metrics, or the info label for a quick glance—especially useful on mobile.
Chart: MNQ! on 5min frames
ATR: 14
StDev L: 11
Range L: 13
MDV LB: 13
Important Note
MVD is a market structure and volatility regime tool.
It is designed to alert you to potential changes in market conditions, not to provide direct trade entries or exits. Always combine with your own analysis and risk management.

Retail Pain Index (RPIx) (RPIx) Retail Pain Index (DAFE)
See the Market’s Pain. Trade the Edge.
The Retail Pain Index (RPIx) is a next-generation volatility and sentiment tool designed to reveal the hidden moments when retail traders are most likely being squeezed, stopped out, or forced to capitulate. This is not just another oscillator—it’s a behavioral market scanner that quantifies “pain” as price rips away from the average entry zone, often marking the fuel for the next big move.
Why is RPIx so Unique?
Behavioral Volatility Engine:
RPIx doesn’t just track price or volume. It measures how far price is moving away from where the crowd has recently entered (using a rolling VWAP average), then normalizes this “distance” into a Z-score. The result? You see when the market is inflicting maximum pain on the most participants.
Dynamic, Intuitive Coloring:
The main RPIx line is purple in normal conditions, but instantly turns red when pain is extreme to the upside (+2.00 or higher) and green when pain is extreme to the downside (-2.00 or lower). This makes it visually obvious when the market is entering a “max pain” regime.
Threshold Lines for Clarity:
Dashed red and green lines at +2.00 and -2.00 Z-score levels make it easy to spot rare, high-pain events at a glance.
Signature Dashboard & Info Line:
Dashboard: A compact, toggleable panel in the top right of the indicator pane shows the current Z-score, threshold, and status—perfect for desktop users who want a quick read on market stress.
Info Line: For mobile or minimalist traders, a single-line info label gives you the essentials without cluttering your screen.
Inputs & Customization
Entry Cluster Lookback: Adjusts how many bars are used to calculate the “entry zone” (VWAP average). A higher value smooths the signal, a lower value makes it more responsive.
Pain Z-Score Threshold:
Sets the sensitivity for what counts as “extreme pain.” Default is ±2.00, but you can fine-tune this to match your asset’s volatility or your own risk appetite.
Show Dashboard / Show Compact Info Label:
Toggle these features on or off to fit your workflow and screen size.
How to utilize RPIx's awesomeness:
Extreme Readings = Opportunity:
When RPIx spikes above +2.00 (red) or below -2.00 (green), the market is likely running stops, liquidating weak hands, or forcing retail traders to capitulate. These moments often precede sharp reversals, trend accelerations, or volatility expansions.
Combine with Price Action:
Use RPIx as a confirmation tool for your existing strategy, or as a standalone alert for “pain points” where the crowd is most vulnerable.
Visual Edge:
The color-coded line and threshold levels make it easy to spot regime shifts and rare events—no more squinting at numbers or guessing when the market is about to snap.
Why RPIx?
Works on Any Asset, Any Timeframe:
Stocks, futures, crypto, forex—if there’s a crowd, there’s pain, and RPIx will find it.
Behavioral Alpha:
Most indicators lag. RPIx quantifies the psychological stress in the market, giving you a real-time edge over the herd.
Customizable, Clean, and Powerful:
Designed for both power users and mobile traders, with toggles for every workflow.
See the pain. Trade the edge.
Retail Pain Index: Because the market’s next move is written in the crowd’s discomfort.
For educational purposes only. Not financial advice. Always use proper risk management
Use with discipline. Trade your edge.

ADR / ATR Example:
The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves.
Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability.
Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset.
Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential (coverage) move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages.
Custom Volume Session Example:
Set indicator to 30 period average. Set custom time frame to 9:30am to 10:30am Eastern/New York.
When the time frame for the calculation is closed, the indicator will provide a comparison of the current days volume compared to the average of 30 previous days for that same time frame and display it as a percentage in the table.
In this example you could compare how the first hour of the trading day compares to the previous 30 day's average, aiding in evaluating the potential volume for the remainder of the day.
Notes:
Times must be entered in 24 hour format. (1pm = 13:00 etc.)
Volume indicator is for Intra-day time frames, not > Day.
How I use these values:
I use these calculations to determine if a ticker symbol has the necessary range to achieve target gains, to determine if the price oscillation is within "normal" ranges to determine if the trading day will be choppy, and to determine placement of stops and targets within average ranges in combination with support, resistance and retracement levels.

Macd, Wt Cross & HVPMacd Wt Cross & HVP – Advanced Multi-Signal Indicator
This script is a custom-designed multi-signal indicator that brings together three proven concepts to provide a complete view of market momentum, reversals, and volatility build-ups. It is built for traders who want to anticipate key market moves, not just react to them.
Why This Combination ?
While each tool has its strengths, their combined use creates powerful signal confluence.
Instead of juggling multiple indicators separately, this script synchronizes three key perspectives into a single, intuitive display—helping you trade with greater clarity and confidence.
1. MACD Histogram – Momentum and Trend Clarity
At the core of the indicator is the MACD histogram, calculated as the difference between two exponential moving averages (EMAs).
Color-coded bars represent momentum direction and intensity:
Green / blue bars: bullish momentum
Red / pink bars: bearish momentum
Color intensity shows acceleration or weakening of trend.
This visual makes it easy to detect trend shifts and momentum divergence at a glance.
2. WT Cross Signals – Early Reversal Detection
Overlaid on the histogram are green and red dots, based on the logic of the WaveTrend oscillator cross:
Green dots = potential bullish cross (buy signal)
Red dots = potential bearish cross (sell signal)
These signals are helpful for identifying reversal points during both trending and ranging phases.
3. Historical Volatility Percentile (HVP) – Volatility Compression Zones
Behind the histogram, purple vertical zones highlight periods of low historical volatility, based on the HVP:
When volatility compresses below a specific threshold, these zones appear.
Such periods are often followed by explosive price moves, making them prime areas for pre-breakout positioning.
By integrating HVP, the script doesn’t just tell you where the trend is—it tells you when the trend is likely to erupt.
How to Use This Script
Use the MACD histogram to confirm the dominant trend and its strength.
Watch for WT Cross dots as potential entry/exit signals in alignment or divergence with the MACD.
Monitor HVP purple zones as warnings of incoming volatility expansions—ideal moments to prepare for breakout trades.
Best results occur when all three elements align, offering a high-probability trade setup.
What Makes This Script Original?
Unlike many mashups, this script was not created by simply merging indicators. Each component was carefully integrated to serve a specific, complementary purpose:
MACD detects directional bias
WT Cross adds precision timing
HVP anticipates volatility-based breakout timing
This results in a strategic tool for traders, useful on multiple timeframes and adaptable to different trading styles (trend-following, breakout, swing).
EMA Signals by JJ v1.0EMA Signals by JJ is a trend-following indicator designed for the 1-hour timeframe, using EMA (9, 21, 50) crossovers to identify buy and sell signals. The indicator filters signals based on a custom session time (default: 14:30 to 22:00 US trading session) and incorporates ATR-based bar spacing to prevent signal clustering. Alerts are available for both buy and sell signals.
ADX EMA's DistanceIt is well known to technical analysts that the price of the most volatile and traded assets do not tend to stay in the same place for long. A notable observation is the recurring pattern of moving averages that tend to move closer together prior to a strong move in some direction to initiate the trend, it is precisely that distance that is measured by the blue ADX EMA's Distance lines on the chart, normalized and each line being the distance between 2, 3 or all 4 moving averages, with the zero line being the point where the distance between them is zero, but it is also necessary to know the direction of the movement, and that is where the modified ADX will be useful.
This is the well known Directional Movement Indicator (DMI), where the +DI and -DI lines of the ADX will serve to determine the direction of the trend.

Anchored Probability Cone by TenozenFirst of all, credit to @nasu_is_gaji for the open source code of Log-Normal Price Forecast! He teaches me alot on how to use polylines and inverse normal distribution from his indicator, so check it out!
What is this indicator all about?
This indicator draws a probability cone that visualizes possible future price ranges with varying levels of statistical confidence using Inverse Normal Distribution , anchored to the start of a selected timeframe (4h, W, M, etc.)
Feutures:
Anchored Cone: Forecasts begin at the first bar of each chosen higher timeframe, offering a consistent point for analysis.
Drift & Volatility-Based Forecast: Uses log returns to estimate market volatility (smoothed using VWMA) and incorporates a trend angle that users can set manually.
Probabilistic Price Bands: Displays price ranges with 5 customizable confidence levels (e.g., 30%, 68%, 87%, 99%, 99,9%).
Dynamic Updating: Recalculates and redraws the cone at the start of each new anchor period.
How to use:
Choose the Anchored Timeframe (PineScript only be able to forecast 500 bars in the future, so if it doesn't plot, try adjusting to a lower anchored period).
You can set the Model Length, 100 sample is the default. The higher the sample size, the higher the bias towards the overall volatility. So better set the sample size in a balanced manner.
If the market is inside the 30% conifidence zone (gray color), most likely the market is sideways. If it's outside the 30% confidence zone, that means it would tend to trend and reach the other probability levels.
Always follow the trend, don't ever try to trade mean reversions if you don't know what you're doing, as mean reversion trades are riskier.
That's all guys! I hope this indicator helps! If there's any suggestions, I'm open for it! Thanks and goodluck on your trading journey!

ATR and Stochastics by XeodiacThis script combines two popular indicators, the Average True Range (ATR) and the Stochastic Oscillator, into a single chart for enhanced trading insights. Here’s a breakdown of how it works and what it does:
What It Does:
Average True Range (ATR):
Measures market volatility by calculating the average range of price movement over a specified period.
The ATR is plotted in blue on its natural scale, helping you assess how volatile the market is.
Stochastic Oscillator:
A momentum indicator that compares a security's closing price to its price range over a specific period.
It calculates two lines:
%K Line (Green): Tracks the raw Stochastic value.
%D Line (Red): A smoothed moving average of the %K line.
These values are plotted on a percentage scale (0-100) to indicate overbought or oversold conditions.
Inputs:
ATR Length: Specifies the number of periods used for ATR calculation (default is 14).
Stochastic %K Length: Determines the period for finding the highest high and lowest low for the %K calculation (default is 14).
Stochastic %D Smoothing: Sets the smoothing factor for the %D line (default is 3).
Visual Output:
Blue Line: Represents the ATR, showing how much price moves on average over the given period.
Green Line: The %K line of the Stochastic Oscillator, showing momentum shifts in the market.
Red Line: The %D line of the Stochastic Oscillator, providing a smoothed perspective on momentum.
Use Case:
This script is useful for:
Assessing Market Volatility: Use the ATR to understand how active the market is.
Identifying Overbought/Oversold Levels: Use the Stochastic Oscillator to identify potential reversal points.
Combining Signals: Analyze both indicators together to align volatility and momentum for better trading decisions.
Squeeze Momentum Indicator Version3This is a corrected version of Squeeze Indicator that initially was authored by LazyBear and modified by lemongeek
BUY when Blue crosses ABOVE the RED signal line
SELL when Blue crosses BELOW the RED signal line
Horizontal ATR Lines – Last Candle OnlyThis indicator plots four horizontal lines based on the ATR (Average True Range) from the last closed candle of a user-selected timeframe. It helps traders visualize dynamic support and resistance zones relative to recent volatility.
What it does:
Calculates ±1x ATR and ±X ATR levels from the close of the most recently closed candle (e.g., Daily, 4H, etc.).
Draws four horizontal lines:
Close + 1x ATR
Close - 1x ATR
Close + X ATR
Close - X ATR
Each line includes a small label showing the multiplier and the exact price (e.g., "+1 ATR @ 4321.50").
Labels are positioned to the right side of each line for clarity.
Lines and labels update automatically once a new bar forms.
How to use it:
Use these dynamic levels as reference points for:
Volatility-based support/resistance
Entry/exit zones
Risk management
Set the ATR timeframe and multiplier values to match your strategy.
Inputs:
ATR length
Timeframe source for ATR and close
Two multipliers (e.g., 1x and 1.5x)
Custom colors for each ATR group
This tool is best suited for intraday, swing, or multi-timeframe analysis where volatility context is essential.
The VoVix Experiment The VoVix Experiment
The VoVix Experiment is a next-generation, regime-aware, volatility-adaptive trading strategy for futures, indices, and more. It combines a proprietary VoVix (volatility-of-volatility) anomaly detector with price structure clustering and critical point logic, only trading when multiple independent signals align. The system is designed for robustness, transparency, and real-world execution.
Logic:
VoVix Regime Engine: Detects pre-move volatility anomalies using a fast/slow ATR ratio, normalized by Z-score. Only trades when a true regime spike is detected, not just random volatility.
Cluster & Critical Point Filters: Price structure and volatility clustering must confirm the VoVix signal, reducing false positives and whipsaws.
Adaptive Sizing: Position size scales up for “super-spikes” and down for normal events, always within user-defined min/max.
Session Control: Trades only during user-defined hours and days, avoiding illiquid or high-risk periods.
Visuals: Aurora Flux Bands (From another Original of Mine (Options Flux Flow): glow and change color on signals, with a live dashboard, regime heatmap, and VoVix progression bar for instant insight.
Backtest Settings
Initial capital: $10,000
Commission: Conservative, realistic roundtrip cost:
15–20 per contract (including slippage per side) I set this to $25
Slippage: 3 ticks per trade
Symbol: CME_MINI:NQ1!
Timeframe: 15 min (but works on all timeframes)
Order size: Adaptive, 1–2 contracts
Session: 5:00–15:00 America/Chicago (default, fully adjustable)
Why these settings?
These settings are intentionally strict and realistic, reflecting the true costs and risks of live trading. The 10,000 account size is accessible for most retail traders. 25/contract including 3 ticks of slippage are on the high side for MNQ, ensuring the strategy is not curve-fit to perfect fills. If it works here, it will work in real conditions.

Proprietary Logic & Originality Statement
This script, “The VoVix Experiment,” is the result of original research and development. All core logic, algorithms, and visualizations—including the VoVix regime detection engine, adaptive execution, volatility/divergence bands, and dashboard—are proprietary and unique to this project.
1. VoVix Regime Logic
The concept of “volatility of volatility” (VoVix) is an original quant idea, not a standard indicator. The implementation here (fast/slow ATR ratio, Z-score normalization, local max logic, super-spike scaling) is custom and not found in public TradingView scripts.
2. Cluster & Critical Point Logic
Volatility clustering and “critical point” detection (using price distance from a rolling mean and standard deviation) are general quant concepts, but the way they are combined and filtered here is unique to this script. The specific logic for “clustered chop” and “critical point” is not a copy of any public indicator.
3. Adaptive Sizing
The adaptive sizing logic (scaling contracts based on regime strength) is custom and not a standard TradingView feature or public script.
4. Time Block/Session Control
The session filter is a common feature in many strategies, but the implementation here (with timezone and weekend control) is written from scratch.
5. Aurora Flux Bands (From another Original of Mine (Options Flux Flow)
The “glowing” bands are inspired by the idea of volatility bands (like Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels), but the visual effect, color logic, and integration with regime signals are original to this script.
6. Dashboard, Watermark, and Metrics
The dashboard, real-time Sharpe/Sortino, and VoVix progression bar are all custom code, not copied from any public script.
What is “standard” or “common quant practice”?
Using ATR, EMA, and Z-score are standard quant tools, but the way they are combined, filtered, and visualized here is unique. The structure and logic of this script are original and not a mashup of public code.
This script is 100% original work. All logic, visuals, and execution are custom-coded for this project. No code or logic is directly copied from any public or private script.

Dskyz (DAFE) GENESIS Dskyz (DAFE) GENESIS: Adaptive Quant, Real Regime Power
Let’s be honest: Most published strategies on TradingView look nearly identical—copy-paste “open-source quant,” generic “adaptive” buzzwords, the same shallow explanations. I’ve even fallen into this trap with my own previously posted strategies. Not this time.
What Makes This Unique
GENESIS is not a black-box mashup or a pre-built template. It’s the culmination of DAFE’s own adaptive, multi-factor, regime-aware quant engine—built to outperform, survive, and visualize live edge in anything from NQ/MNQ to stocks and crypto.
True multi-factor core: Volume/price imbalances, trend shifts, volatility compression/expansion, and RSI all interlock for signal creation.
Adaptive regime logic: Trades only in healthy, actionable conditions—no “one-size-fits-all” signals.
Momentum normalization: Uses rolling, percentile-based fast/slow EMA differentials, ALWAYS normalized, ALWAYS relevant—no “is it working?” ambiguity.
Position sizing that adapts: Not fixed-lot, not naive—not a loophole for revenge trading.
No hidden DCA or pyramiding—what you see is what you trade.
Dashboard and visual system: Directly connected to internal logic. If it’s shown, it’s used—and nothing cosmetic is presented on your chart that isn’t quantifiable.
📊 Inputs and What They Mean (Read Carefully)
Maximum Raw Score: How many distinct factors can contribute to regime/trade confidence (default 4). If you extend the quant logic, increase this.
RSI Length / Min RSI for Shorts / Max RSI for Longs: Fine-tunes how “overbought/oversold” matters; increase the length for smoother swings, tighten floors/ceilings for more extreme signals.
⚡ Regime & Momentum Gates
Min Normed Momentum/Score (Conf): Raise to demand only the strongest trends—your filter to avoid algorithmic chop.
🕒 Volatility & Session
ATR Lookback, ATR Low/High Percentile: These control your system’s awareness of when the market is dead or ultra-volatile. All sizing and filter logic adapts in real time.
Trading Session (hours): Easy filter for when entries are allowed; default is regular trading hours—no surprise overnight fills.
📊 Sizing & Risk
Max Dollar Risk / Base-Max Contracts: All sizing is adaptive, based on live regime and volatility state—never static or “just 1 contract.” Control your max exposures and real $ risk. ATR will effect losses in high volatility times.
🔄 Exits & Scaling
Stop/Trail/Scale multipliers: You choose how dynamic/flexible risk controls and profit-taking need to be. ATR-based, so everything auto-adjusts to the current market mode.
Visuals That Actually Matter
Dashboard (Top Right): Shows only live, relevant stats: scoring, status, position size, win %, win streak, total wins—all from actual trade engine state (not “simulated”).
Watermark (Bottom Right): Momentum bar visual is always-on, regime-aware, reflecting live regime confidence and momentum normalization. If the bar is empty, you’re truly in no-momentum. If it glows lime, you’re riding the strongest possible edge.
*No cosmetics, no hidden code distractions.
Backtest Settings
Initial capital: $10,000
Commission: Conservative, realistic roundtrip cost:
15–20 per contract (including slippage per side) I set this to $25
Slippage: 3 ticks per trade
Symbol: CME_MINI:NQ1!
Timeframe: 1 min (but works on all timeframes)
Order size: Adaptive, 1–3 contracts
No pyramiding, no hidden DCA
Why these settings?
These settings are intentionally strict and realistic, reflecting the true costs and risks of live trading. The 10,000 account size is accessible for most retail traders. 25/contract including 3 ticks of slippage are on the high side for NQ, ensuring the strategy is not curve-fit to perfect fills. If it works here, it will work in real conditions.
Why It Wins
While others put out “AI-powered” strategies with little logic or soul, GENESIS is ruthlessly practical. It is built around what keeps traders alive:
- Context-aware signals, not just patterns
- Tight, transparent risk
- Inputs that adapt, not confuse
- Visuals that clarify, not distract
- Code that runs clean, efficient, and with minimal overfitting risk (try it on QQQ, AMD, SOL, etc. out of the box)
Disclaimer (for TradingView compliance):
Trading is risky. Futures, stocks, and crypto can result in significant losses. Do not trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. This is for educational and informational purposes only. Use in simulation/backtest mode before live trading. No past performance is indicative of future results. Always understand your risk and ownership of your trades.
This will not be my last—my goal is to keep raising the bar until DAFE is a brand or I’m forced to take this private.
Use with discipline, use with clarity, and always trade smarter.

REVELATIONS (VoVix - PoC) REVELATIONS (VoVix - POC): True Regime Detection Before the Move
Let’s not sugarcoat it: Most strategies on TradingView are recycled—RSI, MACD, OBV, CCI, Stochastics. They all lag. No matter how many overlays you stack, every one of these “standard” indicators fires after the move is underway. The retail crowd almost always gets in late. That’s never been enough for my team, for DAFE, or for anyone who’s traded enough to know the real edge vanishes by the time the masses react.
How is this different?
REVELATIONS (VoVix - POC) was engineered from raw principle, structured to detect pre-move regime change—before standard technicals even light up. We built, tested, and refined VoVix to answer one hard question:
What if you could see the spike before the trend?
Here’s what sets this system apart, line-by-line:
o True volatility-of-volatility mathematics: It’s not just "ATR of ATR" or noise smoothing. VoVix uses normalized, multi-timeframe v-vol spikes, instantly detecting orderbook stress and "outlier" market events—before the chart shows them as trends.
o Purist regime clustering: Every trade is enabled only during coordinated, multi-filter regime stress. No more signals in meaningless chop.
o Nonlinear entry logic: No trade is ever sent just for a “good enough” condition. Every entry fires only if every requirement is aligned—local extremes, super-spike threshold, regime index, higher timeframe, all must trigger in sync.
o Adaptive position size: Your contracts scale up with event strength. Tiny size during nominal moves, max leverage during true regime breaks—never guesswork, never static exposure.
o All exits governed by regime decay logic: Trades are closed not just on price targets but at the precise moment the market regime exhausts—the hardest part of systemic trading, now solved.
How this destroys the lag:
Standard indicators (RSI, MACD, OBV, CCI, and even most “momentum” overlays) simply tell you what already happened. VoVix triggers as price structure transitions—anyone running these generic scripts will trade behind the move while VoVix gets in as stress emerges. Real alpha comes from anticipation, not confirmation.
The visuals only show what matters:
Top right, you get a live, live quant dashboard—regime index, current position size, real-time performance (Sharpe, Sortino, win rate, and wins). Bottom right: a VoVix "engine bar" that adapts live with regime stress. Everything you see is a direct function of logic driving this edge—no cosmetics, no fake momentum.
Inputs/Signals—explained carefully for clarity:
o ATR Fast Length & ATR Slow Length:
These are the heart of VoVix’s regime sensing. Fast ATR reacts to sharp volatility; Slow ATR is stability baseline. Lower Fast = reacts to every twitch; higher Slow = requires more persistent, “real” regime shifts.
Tip: If you want more signals or faster markets, lower ATR Fast. To eliminate noise, raise ATR Slow.
o ATR StdDev Window: Smoothing for volatility-of-volatility normalization. Lower = more jumpy, higher = only the cleanest spikes trigger.
Tip: Shorten for “jumpy” assets, raise for indices/futures.
o Base Spike Threshold: Think of this as your “minimum event strength.” If the current move isn’t volatile enough (normalized), no signal.
Tip: Higher = only biggest moves matter. Lower for more signals but more potential noise.
o Super Spike Multiplier: The “are you sure?” test—entry only when the current spike is this multiple above local average.
Tip: Raise for ultra-selective/swing-trading; lower for more active style.
Regime & MultiTF:
o Regime Window (Bars):
How many bars to scan for regime cluster “events.” Short for turbo markets, long for big swings/trends only.
o Regime Event Count: Only trade when this many spikes occur within the Regime Window—filters for real stress, not isolated ticks.
Tip: Raise to only ever trade during true breakouts/crashes.
o Local Window for Extremes:
How many bars to check that a spike is a local max.
Tip: Raise to demand only true, “clearest” local regime events; lower for early triggers.
o HTF Confirm:
Higher timeframe regime confirmation (like 45m on an intraday chart). Ensures any event you act on is visible in the broader context.
Tip: Use higher timeframes for only major moves; lower for scalping or fast regimes.
Adaptive Sizing:
o Max Contracts (Adaptive): The largest size your system will ever scale to, even on extreme event.
Tip: Lower for small accounts/conservative risk; raise on big accounts or when you're willing to go big only on outlier events.
o Min Contracts (Adaptive): The “toe-in-the-water.” Smallest possible trade.
Tip: Set as low as your broker/exchange allows for safety, or higher if you want to always have meaningful skin in the game.
Trade Management:
o Stop %: Tightness of your stop-loss relative to entry. Lower for tighter/safer, higher for more breathing room at cost of greater drawdown.
o Take Profit %: How much you'll hold out for on a win. Lower = more scalps. Higher = only run with the best.
o Decay Exit Sensitivity Buffer: Regime index must dip this far below the trading threshold before you exit for “regime decay.”
Tip: 0 = exit as soon as stress fails, higher = exits only on stronger confirmation regime is over.
o Bars Decay Must Persist to Exit: How long must decay be present before system closes—set higher to avoid quick fades and whipsaws.

If it works here, it will work in real conditions.
Tip: Set to 1 for instant regime exit; raise for extra confirmation (less whipsaw risk, exits held longer).
________________________________________
Bottom line: Tune the sensitivity, selectivity, and risk of REVELATIONS by these inputs. Raise thresholds and windows for only the best, most powerful signals (institutional style); lower for activity (scalpers, fast cryptos, signals in constant motion). Sizing is always adaptive—never static or martingale. Exits are always based on both price and regime health. Every input is there for your control, not to sell “complexity.” Use with discipline, and make it your own.
This strategy is not just a technical achievement: It’s a statement about trading smarter, not just more.
* I went back through the code to make sure no the strategy would not suffer from repainting, forward looking, or any frowned upon loopholes.
Disclaimer:
Trading is risky and carries the risk of substantial loss. Do not use funds you aren’t prepared to lose. This is for research and informational purposes only, not financial advice. Backtest, paper trade, and know your risk before going live. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Expect more: We’ll keep pushing the standard, keep evolving the bar until “quant” actually means something in the public code space.
Use with clarity, use with discipline, and always trade your edge.
