Harmony in Havoc - The Entropy of VoVix Harmony in Havoc – The Entropy of VoVix
There are moments in the market when chaos and order are not opposites, but partners in a dance.
Harmony in Havoc is not just an indicator—it’s a window into that dance.
Most tools try to tame the market by smoothing it, boxing it in, or chasing after what’s already happened. This script does the opposite: it listens for the music beneath the noise, the rare moments when volatility and unpredictability align, and the market’s next movement is about to begin.
What is Harmony in Havoc?
VoVix Spike:
The pulse of volatility-of-volatility. Not just how much the market is moving, but how violently its own heartbeat is changing.
Entropy:
A real-time measure of surprise. When entropy is high, the market is not just moving—it’s breaking its own patterns, rewriting its own rules.
Progression Bar & Status:
The yellow bar is your visual gauge of tension. As it fills, the market is winding up.
Wait: The world is calm.
Get ready!: The storm is building.
Take Action!!: The probability of a regime eruption is at its peak.
Yellow Background:
When the background glows, the market is at its most unstable—this is not a buy or sell signal, but a quant alert.
How does it work?
Every tick, Harmony in Havoc measures the distance between the market’s current volatility and its own unpredictability. When the VoVix spike approaches or exceeds the entropy threshold, the system knows:
“This is the moment when the improbable becomes possible.”
Why is this different?
It doesn’t tell you what to do.
It doesn’t chase price.
It doesn’t care about trends, bands, or the past.
Instead, it gives you a quantitative sense of anticipation—a way to see when the market is most likely to break from its own history, and when the edge is at its sharpest.
How to use it:
Watch for the yellow background and “Take Action!!” status.
Use it as a regime filter, a volatility dashboard, or a warning system for your own strategies.
Tune the inputs for your asset and timeframe—make it your own.
Inputs—explained for you:
VoVix Fast/Slow ATR & Stdev:
Control how sensitive the system is to volatility shocks. Lower = more signals, higher = only the rarest events.
Entropy Window & Bins:
Control how “surprised” the entropy engine is by current volatility. Shorter window = more responsive, more bins = finer detail.
Show/Hide Controls:
Toggle the VoVix spike, entropy line, and their glows to customize your visual experience.
Bottom line:
This is not a buy or sell script.
This is a quant regime detector for those who want to feel the market’s tension—to sense when harmony and havoc are about to collide.

Cumulative Volume Delta with Divergence🧠 Core Functionality:
1. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD):
Purpose: Visualizes the difference between buying and selling pressure over time.
Mechanism:
It uses lower-timeframe volume delta data, retrieved from ta.requestVolumeDelta(), to build a candle-style visualization of the net volume movement.
Plotted candles show whether buying (up volume) or selling (down volume) was dominant within each period.
Teal candles: More buying than selling (CVD up).
Red candles: More selling than buying (CVD down).
Volume Source: Based on intrabar up/down volume approximation from lower timeframes.
🧭 Divergence Detection (New Feature):
2. Regular Bullish Divergence:
Condition:
Price makes a lower low.
CVD (lastVolume) makes a higher low.
Interpretation: Selling pressure is weakening despite price making new lows — a potential reversal signal to the upside.
Displayed As:
Green line and label "Bull" under the CVD at the divergence point.
3. Regular Bearish Divergence:
Condition:
Price makes a higher high.
CVD makes a lower high.
Interpretation: Buying pressure is fading despite price rising — a potential reversal signal to the downside.
Displayed As:
Red line and label "Bear" above the CVD at the divergence point.
🧰 User Controls:
Use custom timeframe: Overrides default volume delta resolution for finer or broader analysis.
Calculate Divergence: Turns the divergence detection on or off.
Adjustable via script inputs.
🔔 Alerts:
Two alert conditions are included:
One for bullish divergence.
One for bearish divergence.
Alerts trigger at the bar where the divergence is confirmed, not where it starts.
📈 Use Case:
This tool is ideal for traders looking to:
Spot early reversals or momentum shifts.
Combine volume analysis with price action.
Time entries or exits more accurately using volume-confirmed divergence.

CVD 11192The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a volume-based technical indicator that measures the net buying or selling pressure in a market by tracking the relationship between price movement and volume. Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show the total trading activity, CVD provides insight into whether volume is predominantly buying or selling volume.
Follow-Through Day IndicatorO'Neil Follow Through Day Indicator. Tracks start of a bottom and each ensuing FTDs
Volume candle intraday 90% valid - with alertThe candle with the highest volume of the day and that creates a new daily high or low.
- Only usable on M15 timeframes;
- You can set a range of bars (from the beginning of the day) to ignore;
- "90% valid" means a candle with volume greater than 90% of the last candle with the highest volume of the day (in the script you can change the percentage of valid volumes to define the candle volume, replacing all the "90" with the desired percentage);
- Long volumes are compared to longs and short volumes are compared to shorts;
- Script created with ChatGpt;
The psychology behind this pattern is the following: on the daily high/low, a lot of volumes will enter in a short time, either by absorption: buyers or sellers enter en masse following the trend when it is too late; or by exhaustion: buyers or sellers who entered en masse and late have no more strength to continue pushing the price, they cause a volume peak to buy/sell as much as they could, then their enemies take over forming a high/low).
Happy trading everyone! :)
###################################################################################
La candela con il volume più alto della giornata e che crea un nuovo massimo o minimo giornaliero.
- Utilizzabile solo su timeframe M15;
- Si può impostare un range di barre(da inizio giornata) da ignorare;
- "90% valida" sta per candela con volume superiore del 90% dell'ultima candela con volume più alto della giornata(nello script si può cambiare percentuale di volumi validi per definire candela volume, sostituendo tutti i "90" con la percentuale desiderata);
- I volumi long vengono confrontati con i long e i volumi short con gli short;
- Script creato con ChatGpt;
La psicologia dietro questo pattern è la seguente: sul massimo/minimo giornaliero entreranno tanti volumi in breve tempo, sia per assorbimento: buyers o sellers entrano in massa seguendo il trend quando è troppo tardi; sia per esaurimento: buyers o sellers entrati in massa e in ritardo non hanno più forza per continuare a spingere il prezzo, causano un picco volumetrico per comprare/vendere più che potevano, quindi i loro nemici prendono il sopravvento formando un massimo/minimo).
Buon trading a tutti! :)

FVG + OB + RSI Divergence + Volume Spikes🧠 FVG + OB + RSI Divergence + Volume Spikes – Market Structure Confluence Tool
This all-in-one indicator brings together four powerful market concepts into a single script designed to help traders identify high-probability trade setups with precision and clarity:
🔍 What It Does
✅ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Highlights inefficiencies in price action, showing where the market may return to “rebalance.”
✅ Order Blocks (OB)
Marks key institutional footprints — bullish and bearish order blocks based on engulfing candle structures.
✅ RSI Divergence
Detects both bullish and bearish divergences between price and RSI, signaling potential reversals.
✅ Volume Spikes
Flags bars where volume significantly exceeds the average — a common footprint of smart money.
🎯 How to Use
Use this tool to spot confluences between price inefficiencies (FVG), key reversal zones (OB), momentum shifts (RSI Divergence), and institutional interest (Volume Spikes). The best setups often occur when multiple signals align — especially at key support/resistance or trend zones.
⚙️ Inputs
RSI length (for divergence)
Volume spike sensitivity (multiplier)
Lookback for Order Blocks and FVGs
⚠️ Notes
This is a non-repainting tool.
Ideal for price action, SMC, ICT, and order flow traders.
Combine with your existing strategy and higher time frame bias for best results.
OB Sweeps ReversalOB Sweeps Reversal is a high-precision market structure tool that identifies and dynamically tracks bullish and bearish order blocks — key zones where institutional participants are likely to be active. These zones act as support and resistance levels, adapting to market behavior in real time.
The script monitors price interaction with each OB and classifies its status as:
Unmitigated (price has not yet returned)
Mitigating (price is testing the zone)
Invalidated (zone has been broken)
Traders can use these zones directly as actionable support/resistance — or wait for additional confirmation via the system’s liquidity sweep detection and optional filters.
🔍 Key Features:
Automatically detects and plots bullish and bearish OBs
Tracks mitigation status and updates visuals accordingly
Detects liquidity sweeps of recent highs/lows
Optional filters:
• 200 EMA trend direction
• Momentum of current or previous candle
Plots stop-loss and take-profit lines using ATR-based logic
Clean entry labels with full contextual data
Built-in alert system with constant-string messages (automation ready)
📈 How to Use:
Load the script on any timeframe (15m–4H recommended)
Observe the live OB zones as they develop
Trade based on price interaction:
• Bounce off a bullish OB = potential long setup
• Rejection from a bearish OB = potential short
• Sweep + snapback into an OB = optional trap reversal entry
SL/TP levels are drawn automatically for reference
Use alerts to automate or monitor high-conviction setups
The order blocks themselves are valuable on their own — even without waiting for a signal. They can be used as dynamic support and resistance zones, offering excellent structure-based trading opportunities.
🧠 Ideal For:
Traders who follow price action and market structure
Those using support/resistance, OBs, or supply/demand
Intraday and swing traders looking for cleaner structure alignment
Users who prefer low-frequency, high-quality setups
⚠️ Note:
This tool does not produce frequent signals. It is designed for precision and discipline, with a focus on clarity and confluence. It complements — not replaces — a trader’s decision-making process.
This script is open-source and designed with integrity, precision, and trader usability in mind. No links, no upsells, no promotions — just a reliable system for structural market analysis.
Volume Divergence 11192It calculates a custom volume-weighted moving average using the pine_wma() function which takes into account whether each candle is bullish or bearish
It processes volume data through multiple layers of this custom moving average
It detects four types of divergences:
Regular Bullish Divergence: When price makes a lower low but volume makes a higher low (potential bullish reversal)
Hidden Bullish Divergence: When price makes a higher low but volume makes a lower low (potential bullish continuation)
Regular Bearish Divergence: When price makes a higher high but volume makes a lower high (potential bearish reversal)
Hidden Bearish Divergence: When price makes a lower high but volume makes a higher high (potential bearish continuation)
It visualizes these divergences on the chart with colored markers and labels

The progression from squeeze to breakout, supported by volume trend confirmation, offers a systematic approach to identifying trading opportunities.
The script combines multiple technical analysis approaches into a comprehensive dashboard that helps traders make informed decisions by identifying high-probability setups while filtering out noise through its sophisticated confirmation requirements. It combines multiple technical analysis approaches into an integrated visual system that helps traders identify potential trading opportunities while filtering out false signals.
Core Features
1. Volume Analysis Dashboard
The indicator displays various volume-related metrics in customizable tables:
AVOL (After Hours + Pre-Market Volume): Shows extended hours volume as a percentage of the 21-day average volume with color coding for buying/selling pressure. Green indicates buying pressure and red indicates selling pressure.
Volume Metrics: Includes regular volume (VOL), dollar volume ($VOL), relative volume compared to 21-day average (RVOL), and relative volume compared to 90-day average (RVOL90D).
Pre-Market Data: Optional display of pre-market volume (PVOL), pre-market dollar volume (P$VOL), pre-market relative volume (PRVOL), and pre-market price change percentage (PCHG%).
2. Enhanced Volume Trend (VTR) Analysis
The Volume Trend indicator uses adaptive analysis to evaluate buying and selling pressure, combining multiple factors:
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) components
Volume-to-SMA (Simple Moving Average) ratio
Price direction and market conditions
Volume change rates and momentum
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) alignment and crossovers
Volatility filtering
VTR Visual Indicators
The VTR score ranges from 0-100, with values above 50 indicating bullish conditions and below 50 indicating bearish conditions. This is visually represented by colored circles:
"●" (Filled Circle):
Green: Strong bullish trend (VTR ≥ 80)
Red: Strong bearish trend (VTR ≤ 20)
"◯" (Hollow Circle):
Green: Moderate bullish trend (VTR 65-79)
Red: Moderate bearish trend (VTR 21-35)
"·" (Small Dot):
Green: Weak bullish trend (VTR 55-64)
Red: Weak bearish trend (VTR 36-45)
"○" (Medium Hollow Circle): Neutral conditions (VTR 46-54), shown in gray
In "Both" display mode, the VTR shows both the numerical score (0-100) alongside the appropriate circle symbol.
Enhanced VTR Settings
The Enhanced Volume Trend component offers several advanced customization options:
Adaptive Volume Analysis (volTrendAdaptive):
When enabled, dynamically adjusts volume thresholds based on recent market volatility
Higher volatility periods require proportionally higher volume to generate significant signals
Helps prevent false signals during highly volatile markets
Keep enabled for most trading conditions, especially in volatile markets
Speed of Change Weight (volTrendSpeedWeight, range 0-1):
Controls emphasis on volume acceleration/deceleration rather than absolute levels
Higher values (0.7-1.0): More responsive to new volume trends, better for momentum trading
Lower values (0.2-0.5): Less responsive, better for trend following
Helps identify early volume trends before they fully develop
Momentum Period (volTrendMomentumPeriod, range 2-10):
Defines lookback period for volume change rate calculations
Lower values (2-3): More responsive to recent changes, better for short timeframes
Higher values (7-10): Smoother, better for daily/weekly charts
Directly affects how quickly the indicator responds to new volume patterns
Volatility Filter (volTrendVolatilityFilter):
Adjusts significance of volume by factoring in current price volatility
High volume during high volatility receives less weight
High volume during low volatility receives more weight
Helps distinguish between genuine volume-driven moves and volatility-driven moves
EMA Alignment Weight (volTrendEmaWeight, range 0-1):
Controls importance of EMA alignments in final VTR calculation
Analyzes multiple EMA relationships (5, 10, 21 period)
Higher values (0.7-1.0): Greater emphasis on trend structure
Lower values (0.2-0.5): More focus on pure volume patterns
Display Mode (volTrendDisplayMode):
"Value": Shows only numerical score (0-100)
"Strength": Shows only symbolic representation
"Both": Shows numerical score and symbol together
3. Bollinger Band Squeeze Detection (SQZ)
The BB Squeeze indicator identifies periods of low volatility when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, often preceding significant price movements.
SQZ Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Strong squeeze - high probability setup for an impending breakout
Green: Strong squeeze with bullish bias (likely upward breakout)
Red: Strong squeeze with bearish bias (likely downward breakout)
Orange: Strong squeeze with unclear direction
"◯" (Hollow Circle): Moderate squeeze - medium probability setup
Green: With bullish EMA alignment
Red: With bearish EMA alignment
Orange: Without clear directional bias
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no squeeze condition (normal volatility)
The script identifies squeeze conditions through multiple methods:
Bollinger Bands contracting inside Keltner Channels
BB width falling to bottom 20% of recent range (BB width percentile)
Very narrow Keltner Channel (less than 5% of basis price)
Tracking squeeze duration in consecutive bars
Different squeeze strengths are detected:
Strong Squeeze: BB inside KC with tight BB width and narrow KC
Moderate Squeeze: BB inside KC with either tight BB width or narrow KC
No Squeeze: Normal market conditions
4. Breakout Detection System
The script includes two breakout indicators working in sequence:
4.1 Pre-Breakout (PBK) Indicator
Detects potential upcoming breakouts by analyzing multiple factors:
Squeeze conditions lasting 2-3 bars or more
Significant price ranges
Strong volume confirmation
EMA/MACD crossovers
Consistent price direction
PBK Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Detected pre-breakout condition
Green: Likely upward breakout (bullish)
Red: Likely downward breakout (bearish)
Orange: Direction not yet clear, but breakout likely
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no pre-breakout condition
The PBK uses sophisticated conditions to reduce false signals including minimum squeeze length, significant price movement, and technical confirmations.
4.2 Breakout (BK) Indicator
Confirms actual breakouts in progress by identifying:
End of squeeze or strong expansion of Bollinger Bands
Volume expansion
Price moving outside Bollinger Bands
EMA crossovers with volume confirmation
MACD crossovers with significant price range
BK Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Confirmed breakout in progress
Green: Upward breakout (bullish)
Red: Downward breakout (bearish)
Orange: Unusual breakout pattern without clear direction
"◆" (Diamond): Special breakout conditions (meets some but not all criteria)
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no breakout detected
The BK indicator uses advanced filters for confirmation:
Requires consecutive breakout signals to reduce false positives
Strong volume confirmation requirements (40% above average)
Significant price movement thresholds
Consistency checks between price action and indicators
5. Market Metrics and Analysis
Price Change Percentage (CHG%)
Displays the current percentage change relative to the previous day's close, color-coded green for positive changes and red for negative changes.
Average Daily Range (ADR%)
Calculates the average daily percentage range over a specified period (default 20 days), helping traders gauge volatility and set appropriate price targets.
Average True Range (ATR)
Shows the Average True Range value, a volatility indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Displays the standard 14-period RSI, a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements on a scale from 0 to 100.
6. External Market Indicators
QQQ Change
Shows the percentage change in the Invesco QQQ Trust (tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index), useful for understanding broader tech market trends.
UVIX Change
Displays the percentage change in UVIX, a volatility index, providing insight into market fear and potential hedging activity.
BTC-USD
Shows the current Bitcoin price from Coinbase, useful for traders monitoring crypto correlation with equities.
Market Breadth (BRD)
Calculates the percentage difference between ATHI.US and ATLO.US (high vs. low securities), indicating overall market direction and strength.
7. Session Analysis and Volume Direction
Session Detection
The script accurately identifies different market sessions:
Pre-market: 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM
Regular market: 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM
After-hours: 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Closed: Outside trading hours
This detection works on any timeframe through careful calculation of current time in seconds.
Buy/Sell Volume Direction
The script analyzes buying and selling pressure by:
Counting up volume when close > open
Counting down volume when close < open
Tracking accumulated volume within the day
Calculating intraday pressure (up volume minus down volume)
Enhanced AVOL Calculation
The improved AVOL calculation works in all timeframes by:
Estimating typical pre-market and after-hours volume percentages
Combining yesterday's after-hours with today's pre-market volume
Calculating this as a percentage of the 21-day average volume
Determining buying/selling pressure by analyzing after-hours and pre-market price changes
Color-coding results: green for buying pressure, red for selling pressure
This calculation is particularly valuable because it works consistently across any timeframe.
Customization Options
Display Settings
The dashboard has two customizable tables: Volume Table and Metrics Table, with positions selectable as bottom_left or bottom_right.
All metrics can be individually toggled on/off:

MACD Weight: Controls how much influence MACD has on the volume trend score (default 0.3)
These settings allow traders to fine-tune how momentum is factored into the volume trend analysis.
Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel Settings
The Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels used for squeeze detection have preset (hidden) parameters:
BB Length: 20 periods
BB Multiplier: 2.0 standard deviations
Keltner Length: 20 periods
Keltner Multiplier: 1.5 ATR
These settings follow standard practice for squeeze detection while maintaining simplicity in the user interface.
Practical Trading Applications
Complete Trading Strategies
1. Squeeze Breakout Strategy
This strategy combines multiple components of the indicator:
Wait for a strong squeeze (SQZ showing ●)
Look for pre-breakout confirmation (PBK showing ● in green or red)
Enter when breakout is confirmed (BK showing ● in same direction)
Use VTR to confirm volume supports the move (VTR ≥ 65 for bullish or ≤ 35 for bearish)
Set profit targets based on ADR (Average Daily Range)
Exit when VTR begins to weaken or changes direction
2. Volume Divergence Strategy
This strategy focuses on the volume trend relative to price:
Identify when price makes a new high but VTR fails to confirm (divergence)
Look for VTR to show weakening trend (● changing to ◯ or ·)
Prepare for potential reversal when SQZ begins to form
Enter counter-trend position when PBK confirms reversal direction
Use external indicators (QQQ, BTC, Breadth) to confirm broader market support
3. Pre-Market Edge Strategy
This strategy leverages pre-market data:
Monitor AVOL for unusual pre-market activity (significantly above 100%)
Check pre-market price change direction (PCHG%)
Enter position at market open if VTR confirms direction
Use SQZ to determine if volatility is likely to expand
Exit based on RVOL declining or price reaching +/- ADR for the day
Market Context Integration
The indicator provides valuable context for trading decisions:
QQQ change shows tech market direction
BTC price shows crypto market correlation
UVIX change indicates volatility expectations
Breadth measurement shows market internals
This context helps traders avoid fighting the broader market and align trades with overall market direction.
Timeframe Optimization
The indicator is designed to work across different timeframes:
For day trading: Focus on AVOL, VTR, PBK/BK, and use shorter momentum periods
For swing trading: Focus on SQZ duration, VTR strength, and broader market indicators
For position trading: Focus on larger VTR trends and use EMA alignment weight
Advanced Analytical Components
Enhanced Volume Trend Score Calculation
The VTR score calculation is sophisticated, with the base score starting at 50 and adjusting for:
Price direction (up/down)
Volume relative to average (high/normal/low)
Volume acceleration/deceleration
Market conditions (bull/bear)
Additional factors are then applied, including:
MACD influence weighted by strength and direction
Volume change rate influence (speed)
Price/volume divergence effects
EMA alignment scores
Volatility adjustments
Breakout strength factors
Price action confirmations
The final score is clamped between 0-100, with values above 50 indicating bullish conditions and below 50 indicating bearish conditions.
Anti-False Signal Filters
The indicator employs multiple techniques to reduce false signals:
Requiring significant price range (minimum percentage movement)
Demanding strong volume confirmation (significantly above average)
Checking for consistent direction across multiple indicators
Requiring prior bar consistency (consecutive bars moving in same direction)
Counting consecutive signals to filter out noise
These filters help eliminate noise and focus on high-probability setups.
MACD Enhancement and Integration
The indicator enhances standard MACD analysis:
Calculating MACD relative strength compared to recent history
Normalizing MACD slope relative to volatility
Detecting MACD acceleration for stronger signals
Integrating MACD crossovers with other confirmation factors
EMA Analysis System
The indicator uses a comprehensive EMA analysis system:
Calculating multiple EMAs (5, 10, 21 periods)
Detecting golden cross (10 EMA crosses above 21 EMA)
Detecting death cross (10 EMA crosses below 21 EMA)
Assessing price position relative to EMAs
Measuring EMA separation percentage
Recent Enhancements and Evolution
Version 5.2 includes several improvements:
Enhanced AVOL to show buying/selling direction through color coding
Improved VTR with adaptive analysis based on market conditions
AVOL display now works in all timeframes through sophisticated estimation
Removed animal symbols and streamlined code with bright colors for better visibility
Improved anti-false signal filters throughout the system
Optimizing Indicator Settings
For Different Market Types
Range-Bound Markets:
Lower EMA Alignment Weight (0.2-0.4)
Higher Speed of Change Weight (0.8-1.0)
Focus on SQZ and PBK signals for breakout potential
Trending Markets:
Higher EMA Alignment Weight (0.7-1.0)
Moderate Speed of Change Weight (0.4-0.6)
Focus on VTR strength and BK confirmations
Volatile Markets:
Enable Volatility Filter
Enable Adaptive Volume Analysis
Lower Momentum Period (2-3)
Focus on strong volume confirmation (VTR ≥ 80 or ≤ 20)
For Different Asset Classes
Equities:
Standard settings work well
Pay attention to AVOL for gap potential
Monitor QQQ correlation
Futures:
Consider higher Volume/RVOL weight
Reduce MACD weight slightly
Pay close attention to SQZ duration
Crypto:
Higher volatility thresholds may be needed
Monitor BTC price for correlation
Focus on stronger confirmation signals
Integrated Visual System for Trading Decisions
The colored circle indicators create an intuitive visual system for quick market assessment:
Progression Sequence: SQZ (Squeeze) → PBK (Pre-Breakout) → BK (Breakout)
This sequence often occurs in order, with the squeeze leading to pre-breakout conditions, followed by an actual breakout.
VTR (Volume Trend): Provides context about the volume supporting these movements.
Color Coding: Green for bullish conditions, red for bearish conditions, and orange/gray for neutral or undefined conditions.
Session VolumeThis script tracks and displays 30-minute volume segments during the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session. It allows traders to visually compare each time block’s volume today vs. the same block from the previous day, helping spot early signs of strength, weakness, or divergence.
Features:
Tracks 13 blocks from 9:30 AM to 4:15 PM ET.
Compares today's volume against historical volume from the same time block yesterday.
Highlights percentage changes per block.
Summary row totals show overall volume trend today vs. yesterday.
This tool is useful for discretionary traders, auction market theorists, and anyone who incorporates market-generated information into their decision-making.
Pump Detector - EMA 4H + Retest H1 (Valid 10x4H bars)📈 Pump Detector – EMA 12/21 on 4H + Retest on H1
This indicator is designed to detect sudden bullish moves ("pumps") on the 4-hour timeframe, and alert traders of potential retest entry points on the 1-hour timeframe.
🔍 Pump activation conditions (on 4H):
EMA 12 crosses above EMA 21
Current volume exceeds the 20-period SMA of volume (on 4H)
When both conditions are met, a pump alert is triggered and a time window opens.
📉 Retest detection logic (on H1):
For the next 10 bars on the 4H chart (~40 hours), the indicator monitors price behavior on the 1H timeframe
If the LOW of any H1 candle touches or drops below EMA 12 or 21 (on H1), a second alert is triggered
✅ Key Features:
Draws EMA 12/21 from the 4H timeframe directly on the chart
Enforces 4H and H1 timeframes, regardless of the chart the script is applied to
One-time detection per pump window: once the 10-bar window expires, the retest alert is disabled until a new pump is detected
Ideal for capturing momentum breakouts followed by technical pullbacks
⚠️ Recommended for:
Traders looking for scalping or swing trading setups on crypto, forex, or stocks. Helps identify post-breakout entry opportunities using a structured and disciplined approach.
