Support Resistance UltimateThe "Support Resistance ULTIMATE" indicator is a comprehensive tool for traders on the TradingView platform, designed to identify key support and resistance levels using two primary techniques: pivot points and volume data. This indicator provides flexibility and customization, allowing traders to adapt it to their specific trading strategies.
KEY FEATURES
Pivot-Based Levels:
This feature calculates support and resistance levels using pivot points, which are derived from the high, low, and close prices of previous trading periods. Pivot points are crucial for forecasting potential market turning points.
Users can customize the pivot calculation by selecting the source type (either 'Close' or 'High/Low') and adjusting the lookback periods for both the left and right sides of the pivot calculation. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
Volume-Based Levels:
This option focuses on identifying support and resistance levels based on volume data, specifically the Point of Control (POC). The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume during a specific time period, reflecting a consensus value among market participants.
The indicator includes a rolling POC calculation, allowing traders to dynamically assess areas of significant trading interest that may serve as support or resistance zones.
ADVANTAGES
Customization and Flexibility:
Traders can choose between pivot-based and volume-based levels or use both simultaneously, depending on their analysis needs. This dual approach provides a comprehensive view of market dynamics, accommodating various trading styles.
The indicator offers customizable color settings for support and resistance lines, enhancing chart readability and allowing traders to personalize their visual analysis.
Enhanced Market Insights:
By utilizing pivot points, traders can identify potential reversal or consolidation points, aiding in the prediction of market trends and the establishment of strategic entry and exit points.
Volume-based levels provide insights into market sentiment and participation, highlighting areas of strong support or resistance based on trading volume. This can improve risk management and trade execution by identifying high-probability trading zones.
Importance Scoring:
The indicator calculates the importance of each level based on the number of touches and the duration it holds. This scoring system helps traders assess the strength of support and resistance levels, with thicker lines indicating more significant levels.
This indicator is intended for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Trading involves significant risk, and you should consult with a financial advisor before making any trading decisions. The performance of this indicator is not guaranteed, and past results do not predict future performance. Use at your own risk.
Volume
Cumulative Volume Delta DivergenceThe Cumulative Volume Delta Divergence is an indicator that helps traders visually assess the buying and selling pressures in the market by analyzing volume divergences over time. This indicator overlays directly on the price chart, offering insights into how volume shifts correlate with price movements.
Utility and Trading Benefit
Divergence Detection
The primary utility of this indicator lies in its ability to detect divergences between volume trends and price movements. Such divergences can signal potential price reversals, providing traders with early warnings about shifts in market sentiment.
Enhanced Decision Making
By integrating volume analysis directly with price action on the chart, the indicator aids traders in making more informed decisions regarding entry and exit points. This can be crucial for capitalizing on trends or avoiding potential losses.

Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator
Title: Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator (DPVO)
### Overview
The "Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator" (DPVO) is an advanced trading tool designed to enhance market analysis by integrating volume data with price action. This indicator is specially developed to provide traders with deeper insights into market dynamics, making it easier to spot potential entry and exit points based on volume and price interactions. The DPVO stands out by offering a sophisticated approach to traditional volume analysis, setting it apart from typical volume indicators available on the TradingView platform.
### Unique Features
Unlike traditional indicators that analyze volume and price movements separately, the DPVO combines these two critical elements to offer a comprehensive view of market behavior. By calculating the Volume Impact, which involves the product of the exponential moving averages (EMAs) of volume and the price range (close - open), this indicator highlights significant trading activities that could indicate strong buying or selling pressure. This method allows traders to see not just the volume spikes, but how those spikes relate to price movements, providing a clearer picture of market sentiment.
### Customization and Inputs
The DPVO is highly customizable, catering to various trading styles and strategies:
- **Oscillator Length (`oscLength`)**: Adjusts the period over which the volume and price difference is analyzed, allowing traders to set it according to their trading timeframe.
- **Fast and Slow Moving Averages (`fastMA` and `slowMA`)**: These parameters control the responsiveness of the DPVO. A shorter `fastMA` coupled with a longer `slowMA` can help in identifying trends quicker or smoothing out market noise for more conservative approaches.
- **Signal Smoothing (`signalSmooth`)**: This input helps in reducing signal noise, making the crossover and crossunder points between the DVO and its smoothed signal line clearer and easier to interpret.
### Functionality Details
The DPVO operates through a sequence of calculated steps that integrate volume data with price movement:
1. **Volume Impact Calculation**: This is the foundational step where the product of the EMA of volume and the EMA of price range (close - open) is calculated. This metric highlights trading sessions where significant volume accompanies substantial price movements, suggesting a strong market response.
2. **Dynamic Volume Oscillator (DVO)**: The heart of the indicator, the DVO, is derived by calculating the difference between the fast EMA and the slow EMA of the Volume Impact. This result is then normalized by dividing by the EMA of the volume over the same period to scale the output, making it consistent across various trading environments.
3. **Signal Generation**: The final output is smoothed using a simple moving average of the DVO to filter out market noise. Buy and sell signals are generated based on the crossover and crossunder of the DVO with its smoothed version, providing clear cues for market entry or exit.
### Originality
The DPVO's originality lies in its innovative integration of volume and price movement, a novel approach not typically observed in other volume indicators. By analyzing the product of volume and price change EMAs, the DPVO captures the essence of market dynamics more holistically than traditional tools, which often only reflect volume levels without contextualizing them with price actions. This dual analysis provides traders with a deeper understanding of market forces, enabling them to make more informed decisions based on a combination of volume surges and significant price movements. The DPVO also introduces a unique normalization and smoothing technique that refines the oscillator's output, offering cleaner and more reliable signals that are adaptable to various market conditions and trading styles.
### Practical Application
The DPVO excels in environments where volume plays a crucial role in validating price movements. Traders can utilize the buy and sell signals generated by the DPVO to enhance their decision-making process. The signals are plotted directly on the trading chart, with buy signals appearing below the price bars and sell signals above, ensuring they are prominent and actionable. This setup is particularly useful for day traders and swing traders who rely on timely and accurate signals to maximize their trading opportunities.
### Best Practices
To maximize the effectiveness of the DPVO, traders should consider the following best practices:
- **Market Selection**: Use the DPVO in markets known for strong volume-price correlation such as major forex pairs, popular stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
- **Signal Confirmation**: While the DPVO provides powerful signals, confirming these signals with additional indicators such as RSI or MACD can increase trade reliability.
- **Risk Management**: Always use stop-loss orders to manage risks associated with trading signals. Adjust the position size based on the volatility of the asset to avoid significant losses.
### Practical Example + How to use it
Practical Example1: Day Trading Cryptocurrencies
For a day trader focusing on the highly volatile cryptocurrency market, the DPVO can be an effective tool on a 15-minute chart. Suppose a trader is monitoring Bitcoin (BTC) during a period of high market activity. The DPVO might show an upward crossover of the DVO above its smoothed signal line while also indicating a significant increase in volume. This could signal that strong buying pressure is entering the market, suggesting a potential short-term rally. The trader could enter a long position based on this signal, setting a stop-loss just below the recent support level to manage risk. If the DPVO later shows a crossover in the opposite direction with decreasing volume, it might signal a good exit point, allowing the trader to lock in profits before a potential pullback.
- **Swing Trading Stocks**: For a swing trader looking at stocks, the DPVO could be applied on a daily chart. If the oscillator shows a consistent downward trend along with increasing volume, this could suggest a potential sell-off, providing a sell signal before a significant downturn.
You can look for:
--> Increase in volume - You can use indicators like 24-hour-Volume to have a better visualization
--> Uptrend/Downtrend in the indicator (HH, HL, LL, LH)
--> Confirmation (Buy signal/Sell signal)
--> Correct Price action (Not too steep moves up or down. Stable moves.) (Optional)
--> Confirmation with other indicators (Optional)

### Technical Notes
- **Calculation Efficiency**: The DPVO utilizes exponential moving averages (EMAs) in its calculations, which provides a balance between responsiveness and smoothing. EMAs are favored over simple moving averages in this context because they give more weight to recent data, making the indicator more sensitive to recent market changes.
- **Normalization**: The normalization of the DVO by the EMA of the volume ensures that the oscillator remains consistent across different assets and timeframes. This means the indicator can be used on a wide variety of markets without needing significant adjustments, making it a versatile tool for traders.
- **Signal Line Smoothing**: The final signal line is smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA) to reduce noise. The choice of SMA for smoothing, as opposed to EMA, is intentional to provide a more stable signal that is less prone to frequent whipsaws, which can occur in highly volatile markets.
- **Lag and Sensitivity**: Like all moving average-based indicators, the DPVO may introduce a slight lag in signal generation. However, this is offset by the indicator’s ability to filter out market noise, making it a reliable tool for identifying genuine trends and reversals. Adjusting the `fastMA`, `slowMA`, and `signalSmooth` inputs allows traders to fine-tune the sensitivity of the DPVO to match their specific trading strategy and market conditions.
- **Platform Compatibility**: The DPVO is written in Pine Script™ v5, ensuring compatibility with the latest features and functionalities offered by TradingView. This version takes advantage of optimized functions for performance and accuracy in calculations, making it well-suited for real-time analysis.
Conclusion
The "Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator" is a revolutionary tool that merges volume analysis with price movement to offer traders a more nuanced understanding of market trends and reversals. Its ability to provide clear, actionable signals based on a unique combination of volume and price changes makes it an invaluable addition to any trader's toolkit. Whether you are managing long-term positions or looking for quick trades, the DPVO provides insights that can help refine any trading strategy, making it a standout choice in the crowded field of technical indicators.

Pressure Zones with MA [SYNC & TRADE]Description:
The "Pressure Zones with MA " indicator is designed to analyze the pressure of buyers and sellers on the market, as well as to identify areas of increased activity. When designing it, the main task was to see manipulations on the market, when the power of sellers or the power of buyers is in a sideways trend or falling, and the opposite is growing.
Here is a good example. The power of sellers is in a narrow sideways trend, and sales are increasing very aggressively. The power of buyers is in a gray block with the inscription "range". Then we see the fading of the power of sellers and buyers furiously pounce on the asset that has fallen in price.
Here are the main aspects of its operation and use:
First, turn off the moving averages in the indicator settings, on the "style" tab. Choose your favorite asset, which you understand well and know all its ups and downs. I want you to see a clean chart, so that you can be imbued with a new idea, you need to watch it. This is a proprietary indicator and I understand that it does not have the inscription “buy” / “sell”, but believe me, if you pay attention, you will see its strength. I usually add functionality later, but the light code and visualization remain preferable in the first version.
Purpose:
The indicator helps to determine the strength of buyers and sellers in the market.
It visualizes zones where the pressure of buyers or sellers prevails.
Additionally displays moving averages (MA) for data smoothing.
Main components:
Buyer strength chart (blue line)
Seller strength chart (red line)
Moving averages for buyer and seller strength
Threshold line for defining zones
Indicator settings:
Period: defines the base period for calculations (default 89)
Threshold: sets the level for defining pressure zones (from 0 to 2, default 0.8)
MA type for purchases and sales: select the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA)
MA length for purchases and sales: period for calculating moving averages
Colors for uptrends and downtrends of MA
Moving averages:
Help smooth out data and identify trends
The direction of the MA (up or down) further confirms the current trend
The color of the MA changes depending on the direction (blue for up, red for down)
Now you can turn them on and see how they help in understanding where one or another force is weakening. It is in this case that we see the intersection of forces and the sellers' force is moving aggressively upward. Also, according to the moving average, we see the weakening of the sellers' force. The buyers' force was in the sideways range and then switched on to buy out and also according to the moving average, it is clear where the main interest in purchases disappeared.
Use:
Observe the strength of buyers and sellers relative to each other. They can move simultaneously in one direction, this is regarded as balance
can move in different directions and this will strengthen the upward force of sellers or buyers
You may also notice that the movement of one of the forces will be in a narrow range and the second will grow strongly - this is manipulation or trading without resistance.
You can also play with the threshold line, but it is not the main thing here. I disabled this function in the code.
// Display zones
//bgcolor(buy_zone ? color.new(color.blue, 90) : na)
//bgcolor(sell_zone ? color.new(color.red, 90) : na)
If you want to enable it, copy it instead
// Display zones
bgcolor(buy_zone ? color.new(color.blue, 90) : na)
bgcolor(sell_zone ? color.new(color.red, 90) : na)
Pay attention to the intersection of forces.
Use crossovers of force lines and their moving averages as potential signals
Combine the indicator signals with other technical analysis tools for confirmation
Limitations:
Requires customization of parameters for a specific trading instrument and timeframe
The indicator should not be used as the only tool for making trading decisions
Remember that this indicator provides additional information for market analysis, but is not a guarantee of successful trades. Always combine it with other analysis methods and follow risk management rules.
Описание:
Индикатор "Pressure Zones with MA " предназначен для анализа давления покупателей и продавцов на рынке, а также для определения зон повышенной активности. При его проектировании основная задача была увидеть манипуляции на рынке, когда сила продавцов или сила покупателей стоит в боковике или падает, а противоположная растет.
Вот хороший пример. Сила продавцов стоит в узком боковике, а продажи очень агрессивно усиливаются. Сила покупателей в сером блоке с надписью “range”. Потом мы видим затухание силы продавцов и покупателей яростно накидываются на подешевевший актив.
Вот основные аспекты его работы и использования:
Для начала отключите средние скользящие в настройках индикатора, на закладке “стиль”. Выберите свой любимый актив, в котором вы хорошо разбираетесь и знаете его все взлеты и падения. Я хочу чтобы вы увидели чистый график, для того чтобы вы могли проникнутся новой идеей нужно понаблюдать за ним. Это авторский индикатор и я понимаю что на нем нет надписи “купить” / “продать”, но поверьте уделив свое внимание вы увидите его силу. Я обычно потом добавляю функционал но легкий код и визуализация, в первом варианте остается предпочтительней.
Назначение:
Индикатор помогает определить силу покупателей и продавцов на рынке.
Он визуализирует зоны, где преобладает давление покупателей или продавцов.
Дополнительно отображает скользящие средние (MA) для сглаживания данных.
Основные компоненты:
График силы покупателей (синяя линия)
График силы продавцов (красная линия)
Скользящие средние для силы покупателей и продавцов
Пороговая линия для определения зон
Настройки индикатора:
Период (Period): определяет базовый период для расчетов (по умолчанию 89)
Порог (Threshold): устанавливает уровень для определения зон давления (от 0 до 2, по умолчанию 0.8)
Тип MA для покупок и продаж: выбор типа скользящей средней (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA)
Длина MA для покупок и продаж: период для расчета скользящих средних
Цвета для восходящего и нисходящего трендов MA
Скользящие средние:
Помогают сглаживать данные и выявлять тренды
Направление MA (вверх или вниз) дополнительно подтверждает текущий тренд
Цвет MA меняется в зависимости от направления (синий для восходящего, красный для нисходящего)
Теперь вы можете их включить и посмотреть как они помогают в понимании где ослабевает та или иная сила. Именно в этом случае мы видим пересечение сил и сила продавцов идет агрессивно вверх. Также по средней скользящей мы видим затухание силы продавцов. Сила покупателей стояла в боковике потом включилась на откуп и также по средней скользящей видно где пропал основной интерес к покупкам.
Использование:
Наблюдайте за силой покупателей и продавцов относительно друг друга. Они могут двигаться одновременно в одном направлении это расценивается как баланс
могут двигаться в разных направлениях и это будет усиливать восходящую силу продавцов или покупателей
также возможно вы заметите что движение одной из силы будет в узком диапазоне а вторая будет сильно расти - это манипуляция или торговля без сопротивления.
Также можете поиграть с пороговой линией, но она совершенно не главная здесь. В коде я отключил эту функцию.
// Display zones
//bgcolor(buy_zone ? color.new(color.blue, 90) : na)
//bgcolor(sell_zone ? color.new(color.red, 90) : na)
Если захотите включить скопируйте вместо нее
// Display zones
bgcolor(buy_zone ? color.new(color.blue, 90) : na)
bgcolor(sell_zone ? color.new(color.red, 90) : na)
Обращайте внимание на пересечение сил.
Используйте пересечения линий силы и их скользящих средних как потенциальные сигналы
Комбинируйте сигналы индикатора с другими инструментами технического анализа для подтверждения
Ограничения:
Требуется настройка параметров под конкретный торговый инструмент и таймфрейм
Не следует использовать индикатор как единственный инструмент для принятия торговых решений
Помните, что этот индикатор предоставляет дополнительную информацию для анализа рынка, но не является гарантией успешных сделок. Всегда сочетайте его с другими методами анализа и соблюдайте правила управления рисками.
Liquidity weighted SupertrendOverview
The Liquidity Weighted Supertrend Indicator (LWST) is an advanced iteration of the traditional Supertrend indicator, meticulously crafted to improve trend detection by incorporating liquidity into its calculations. By weighting price movements according to trading volume, the LWST becomes more responsive to significant market activities, offering traders a more accurate depiction of market trends.
Indicator Description
The Liquidity Weighted Supertrend Indicator is a versatile and adaptive tool designed to assist traders in recognizing trends and potential reversal points within the market. This indicator features two operational modes: Aggressive and Smoothed, allowing traders to tailor trend detection to their specific trading style and market conditions.
Key Features
Two Supertrend Modes:
Aggressive Mode: This mode offers more responsive signals, ideal for short-term trading. It utilizes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to smooth the price data, resulting in quicker reactions to market changes.
Smoothed Mode: This mode provides more stable signals, suitable for longer-term trading, by employing a Simple Moving Average (SMA). Note that when "Smoothed" mode is selected, the "Fast MA length" input is not utilized, focusing instead on producing smoother trend lines.
LWMA Calculation:
The Liquidity Weighted Moving Average (LWMA) is a distinctive feature of the LWST, blending volume and price action to filter out market noise and pinpoint significant price movements. This calculation begins with the liquidity factor, determined by multiplying volume with the price change, which is then smoothed using an EMA for accuracy.
Customizable Parameters:
Factor: Adjusts the Supertrend line's sensitivity to price movements.
Supertrend Length: Defines the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation, which affects the width of the Supertrend channel.
Fast and Slow MA Lengths: Allows customization of the fast and slow moving averages used in the LWMA calculation, offering further control over the indicator's responsiveness.
How the Indicator Works
LWMA Smoothing:
The LWST calculates liquidity by multiplying volume with the absolute difference between the close and open prices. This liquidity value is smoothed using an EMA and compared to its standard deviation, identifying significant price movements. Depending on the selected mode, the price data (hl2) is smoothed either with an EMA (in Aggressive Mode) or an SMA (in Smoothed Mode). It’s important to note that when Smoothed mode is active, the "Fast MA length" input does not affect the output.
Visual Signals:
The Supertrend line is visually represented on the chart, with different colors indicating bullish (lime) and bearish (red) trends.
Buy and sell signals are clearly marked with arrows: green triangles indicate potential buying opportunities (when the price crosses above the Supertrend line), and red triangles suggest selling opportunities (when the price crosses below the Supertrend line).
Additional arrows may appear, signaling potential trend reversals, providing further confirmation for traders.
How to Use the Indicator
Configuring the Indicator:
Supertrend Type: Choose between Aggressive and Smoothed modes depending on your trading strategy and the current market conditions. Aggressive mode is better suited for shorter timeframes, while Smoothed mode provides more consistent signals for longer-term analysis.
Factor and Length Settings: Customize the Factor, Supertrend Length, and Moving Average lengths to fine-tune the sensitivity and responsiveness of the Supertrend line, adapting the indicator to various market environments.
Interpreting the Signals:
Trend Identification: The Supertrend line offers a clear visualization of the current market trend. A green line indicates a bullish trend, suggesting upward price movement, while a red line indicates a bearish trend, signaling potential downward price movement.
Entry and Exit Points: The arrows plotted by the LWST provide straightforward entry and exit signals. Green arrows signal potential buy opportunities, indicating that the price may continue to rise, while red arrows signal potential sell opportunities, suggesting that the price may decline. These visual cues help traders make informed decisions based on the current market trend.
Volume on levels @gauranshgVolume on Levels @gauranshg is a powerful Pine Script designed to visualize trading volume across price levels directly on the chart. This script allows users to observe volume intensity, offering a clearer perspective on price action and potential support/resistance areas. By utilizing a dynamic, customizable multiplier, the volume is normalized and displayed in proportion, ensuring better scalability across various timeframes and assets.
Usage:
Normalization of Volume: Users can input a multiplier to adjust the normalization of volume. This is useful when analyzing assets with differing price and volume ranges.
Input of 1 means 1 Million volume will be marked with green color of opacity 1 and 2 Million as 2 and so on. In case you are looking at chart with very high volume, you might want to increase the multiplies
Default multiplier is set to 1, and can be customized for different scales.
Volume Visualization: The volume is displayed on the chart as background boxes behind price levels, with the opacity of the boxes changing based on the normalized volume. This helps to quickly visualize areas of high and low trading activity.
This script is ideal for investors who wish to enhance their volume analysis by visualizing it directly on price levels in a clear, normalized format.
Break of High/Low with Volume, MACD, and MAsHow It Works:
Sessions:
The London session is defined between 8:00 and 16:00 UTC.
The New York session is defined between 13:00 and 21:00 UTC.
Previous High/Low:
The script identifies the highest high and lowest low from the previous bar using ta.highest(high, 1) and ta.lowest(low, 1) .
Candle Body Size:
The script calculates the size of the current candle's body and checks if it is at least double the size of the previous candle's body.
Volume Check:
A high volume threshold is set as 1.5 times the 50-period SMA of the volume.
MACD Crossover:
The script calculates the MACD and its signal line and checks for bullish (buy) or bearish (sell) crossovers.
Signals:
A long signal (buy) is generated if the price breaks the previous high with a large body candle, high volume, and a bullish MACD crossover during the specified sessions.
A short signal (sell) is generated if the price breaks the previous low with a large body candle, high volume, and a bearish MACD crossover during the specified sessions.
Plotting:
The 50-period and 200-period moving averages, previous high, and previous low are plotted on the chart.
If a long condition is met, a "BUY" label is displayed below the bar. If a short condition is met, a "SELL" label is displayed above the bar.
Alerts:
Alerts are triggered whenever the conditions for a long or short trade are met.
Customization:
Feel free to adjust the session times, volume threshold, MACD settings, or moving averages based on your trading strategy or the specific asset you are trading.
MM Day Trader LevelsAs an intraday trader, there are certain key levels that I care about for short-term price action on every single chart. When I first began day trading, each morning I would painstakingly mark those key levels off on the charts I planned to trade each day. Depending on the number of charts I was watching, this would take up quite a bit of my time that I felt would have been much better spent doing other things. It also meant that those levels would often be left behind, and on later days I might be trading a symbol and get confused when a line appeared and I'd be paying attention to it only to later discover that it wasn't from prior day, but from some other day in the past when I had marked it off.
I looked all over TradingView to find indicators that did this automatically for me, and I found a lot of them. One by one I tried them, and inevitably I would always find that something was wrong with them. Often they didn't have all of the levels I wanted (so I would have to combine multiple indicators), but more often I found that the levels would be incorrect, or they would be buggy and not appear consistently, or they would not appear at the right time, or they would not work on futures! The list of problems went on and on. And the biggest issue I found was that nobody knew how to get session volume profile in an indicator.
So, over the course of a few years I figured out how to solve all of those problems and now I'm thrilled to present this free indicator for everyone like me who trades intraday and wants a clean consistent way to see the prior day levels that they care about automatically on every single chart (even futures). The levels the indicator provides are:
Yesterday High & Low
Value Area High & Low & Point of Control
Today's Open
Yesterday's Close (aka "Settlement" on futures)
Premarket High & Low (non-futures only)
Overnight High & Low (futures only)
These levels are extremely important, and I expect price to be reactive to them, so each level has a shaded background behind it so that the levels stand out against other lines you may have on your chart. I try to keep configuration as simple as possible, but there are configuration options that allow you to:
Hide any of the levels
Change the color for the levels
Shade the value area (or not)
Change the label text, size, type (basic label or plain text) and location (how far to the right of last candle to place the label
Adjust session volume profile value area volume & number of rows
The biggest advantage to this indicator over others on TradingView is how it handles session volume profile. When it comes to futures, TradingView does differentiate between regular trading hours and "electronic" trading hours on the charts, but their timeframes for those sessions are unusual, and they do not provide any programmatic way to differentiate between them. So, I created a whole new library for dealing with futures sessions that is fully integrated into both my Session Volume Profile library and this indicator, allowing me to bring you the best and only custom indicator available on TradingView that provides you with true regular session volume profile information across every type of symbol, including futures.
I'm incredibly proud of everything I've been able to provide with this indicator, and even more thrilled to say that I'm proud of how the indicator has been implemented. Once again releasing this indicator and all associated code for free and open source. I encourage you to take a look at the source code to see how it all works, take advantage of the free underlying libraries I created to make all of this possible: Session Library and Session Volume Profile Library.
Volume ReversalsThe "Volume Reversals" indicator is a trading tool designed to identify potential buy and sell signals based on volume patterns.
Features
Filter Signals : Traders can enable or disable additional filtering of signals, which refines the conditions under which buy and sell labels are displayed.
Buy and Sell Labels: The indicator dynamically places labels on the chart to signify buy ("▲+") and sell ("▼+") opportunities. Buy labels appear at low points of bars with a green upward-pointing arrow, while sell labels appear at high points with a red downward-pointing arrow.
Customizable Alerts: Users can set alerts for buy and sell signals, receiving notifications when conditions match predefined patterns.
Logic Explained
Volume Comparison: The script examines a sequence of the last five volume bars to detect increasing or decreasing trends.
Price Action Analysis: Each volume bar is paired with a corresponding price action (bullish or bearish) from the same period.
Signal Conditions: A signal is generated under two scenarios:
Normal Conditions: Sequential increase/decrease in volume over three bars accompanied by bearish/bullish price action, followed by a dip in volume with a bullish/bearish bar.
Filtered Conditions (if filter is active): Requires all last four bars to be bearish/bullish, the most recent bar's volume to be less than the immediate previous, and then exceeds the volume two bars prior, closing bullish/bearish.
This indicator is suited for various assets and timeframes, especially in markets where volume plays a significant role in price dynamics.
Quarterly Rolling VWAP# Quarterly Rolling VWAP Indicator
This custom indicator calculates and displays a Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) that resets at the beginning of each quarter, providing traders with a medium-term perspective on price action relative to trading volume.
## Key Features:
1. **Quarterly Reset**: The VWAP calculation automatically resets at the beginning of each quarter, allowing for a rolling analysis that adapts to changing market conditions.
2. **Standard Deviation Bands**: The indicator includes two sets of bands based on standard deviations from the VWAP, helping to identify potential support and resistance levels.
3. **Customizable Appearance**: Users can adjust the colors of the VWAP line and bands, as well as control the visibility and transparency of the bands.
4. **Flexible Band Multipliers**: The distance of the bands from the VWAP can be adjusted using customizable multipliers.
## Indicator Logic:
1. **Quarterly Detection**:
- The script uses a function `isNewQuarter()` to determine the start of a new quarter.
- It calculates the timestamp for the start of the current quarter and checks for changes in this value.
2. **VWAP Calculation**:
- The `calcVWAP()` function computes the Volume-Weighted Average Price.
- It maintains running sums of price * volume and volume, which reset at the start of each quarter.
- The VWAP is calculated as the ratio of these sums.
3. **Standard Deviation Calculation**:
- The `calcStdDev()` function computes the standard deviation of price from the VWAP.
- It uses a similar approach to VWAP, maintaining running sums that reset quarterly.
4. **Band Calculation**:
- Two sets of bands are calculated using the VWAP, standard deviation, and user-defined multipliers.
- Upper and lower bands are plotted at 1x and 2x the standard deviation by default, but these are customizable.
5. **Plotting**:
- The main VWAP line is plotted with user-defined color and width.
- Bands are plotted conditionally based on user preference.
- The area between bands is filled with a semi-transparent color for better visualization.
## Trading Applications:
- **Medium-Term Trend Analysis**: The quarterly VWAP provides a broader perspective on price trends compared to daily or weekly VWAPs.
- **Support and Resistance**: The VWAP line and bands can act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
- **Mean Reversion Strategies**: Traders can look for potential reversals when price reaches the outer bands.
- **Volatility Assessment**: The width of the bands gives an indication of recent price volatility relative to volume.
- **Quarter-over-Quarter Comparison**: By resetting each quarter, the indicator allows for easy comparison of price action across different quarters.
This Quarterly Rolling VWAP indicator is particularly useful for traders focusing on medium-term strategies or those who want to incorporate a broader market context into their analysis. It combines the power of volume-weighted pricing with a quarterly perspective, offering a unique tool for technical analysis
Z-Score Triggered VWAP# Z-Score Triggered VWAP Indicator
This custom indicator combines Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with Z-Score analysis to create a dynamic, volume-sensitive trading tool. It's designed to identify significant volume events and adjust the VWAP calculation accordingly, providing traders with a more responsive and adaptive price average.
## Key Features:
1. **Z-Score Triggered VWAP**: The indicator calculates a new VWAP when the volume Z-Score crosses above a user-defined threshold, allowing it to adapt to significant volume events.
2. **Customizable Timeframes**: Users can set different timeframes for Z-Score calculation and VWAP plotting, enabling multi-timeframe analysis.
3. **Dynamic Bands**: The indicator plots two sets of bands around the VWAP, calculated using standard deviation multipliers, which can be customized by the user.
4. **Visual Cues**: New VWAP start points are marked with yellow circles, helping traders identify where calculations reset.
5. **Real-time Information**: The current Z-Score and VWAP start information are displayed on the chart, providing immediate context.
6. **Flexible Appearance**: Users can customize colors and choose whether to display bands, enhancing chart readability.
7. **Multiple Alert Conditions**: The indicator includes alert conditions for price crossovers of the VWAP and all band levels.
## How It Works:
1. The indicator calculates the volume Z-Score on a user-specified timeframe, comparing current volume to historical volume over a lookback period.
2. When the volume Z-Score exceeds the threshold, a new VWAP calculation is triggered, resetting the cumulative values used in the VWAP formula.
3. The VWAP is continuously calculated and plotted on the chart, along with upper and lower bands based on price deviation from the VWAP.
4. Traders can use the VWAP line and bands to identify potential support/resistance levels and overbought/oversold conditions.
5. The Z-Score trigger helps ensure that the VWAP remains relevant by adapting to significant changes in trading volume.
## Trading Applications:
- **Dynamic Support/Resistance**: Use the VWAP and bands as potential support and resistance levels that adapt to changing market conditions.
- **Trend Identification**: The slope of the VWAP can help identify the overall trend direction.
- **Mean Reversion**: Look for potential reversals when price reaches the outer bands.
- **Volume Analysis**: The Z-Score trigger points highlight periods of unusual volume, which may precede significant price moves.
- **Risk Management**: Use the bands as potential stop-loss or take-profit levels.
This indicator is suitable for traders who want a more dynamic alternative to traditional VWAP indicators, especially those trading in markets with variable volume patterns. It combines volume analysis with price action, providing a comprehensive view of market behaviour

Extended Hours Volume FlagOverview: The Extended Hours Volume Flag Indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who are interested in monitoring and analyzing the volume activity during the extended trading hours—specifically the premarket (4:00 AM to 9:30 AM) and afterhours (4:00 PM to 8:00 PM) sessions. This indicator identifies and flags stocks where the trading volume during these extended hours exceeds 20% of the Average Volume (AVOL) during regular trading hours. Such occurrences often signal unusual activity or potential market-moving events, which can be crucial for informed trading decisions.
Concept: Volume is a critical factor in trading, often providing insights into market sentiment and potential price movements. However, volume during extended hours can be particularly revealing as it may indicate heightened interest or activity outside of the regular trading session. The Extended Hours Volume Flag Indicator is built on the concept that significant volume during premarket or afterhours trading sessions, relative to the average regular session volume, could be an early indicator of upcoming volatility or trends.
How It Works:
Session Segmentation: The indicator distinguishes between regular trading hours (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM) and extended hours (premarket and afterhours). It accumulates the trading volume separately for these sessions.
Volume Comparison: It calculates the Average Volume (AVOL) over a user-defined period (default is 14 days) during regular trading hours. It then compares the extended hours volume to this AVOL.
Flagging Condition: If the volume during the extended hours exceeds 20% of the AVOL, the indicator flags the stock with a warning symbol on the chart. This visual cue helps traders quickly identify stocks with potentially significant afterhours or premarket activity.
Reset Mechanism: The accumulated volumes reset at the start of the new trading day, ensuring accurate calculations for each day.
Usage: This indicator is ideal for traders who are looking for early signals of market activity outside regular hours, which might not be immediately visible when looking solely at price action. It is particularly useful for day traders and swing traders who want to keep an eye on potential premarket or afterhours catalysts.
Unleash Bitcoin's Next Move with S&P Divergence!BTC_GO_LONG_SONG
This script works like a special helper that watches two things: Bitcoin (a popular type of digital money) and the S&P 500 (which is like a big basket of important companies' stocks).
Imagine Bitcoin and the S&P 500 are connected by an invisible elastic band.
When they move together: The elastic band stays relaxed.
When they move apart: The elastic band stretches.
This script keeps an eye on how much the elastic band stretches.
If Bitcoin starts to move in a different way than the S&P 500 and the band stretches a lot, the script thinks that Bitcoin might snap back or make a big jump soon.
Here’s how it works:
Volume Check: The script looks at how many people are buying or selling Bitcoin. If a lot more people are trading than usual, it’s like a signal that something big might happen.
Price Movement: It watches how Bitcoin’s price is changing. If Bitcoin breaks away from its usual pattern and moves far from where it was recently, it could be a sign that a big change is coming.
Elastic Band Check: The script checks if Bitcoin is moving differently than the S&P 500. If Bitcoin is doing its own thing while the S&P 500 moves in another direction, it’s like the elastic band is being stretched.
When all these things happen together—high trading volume, unusual price movement, and a stretched elastic band—the script shows a green triangle on the chart.
This triangle is a signal for people who believe Bitcoin might go up (the Bulls) that it could be a good time to think about entering a trade because a breakout might be coming.
This explanation uses the idea of an elastic band to describe the relationship between Bitcoin and the S&P 500, making it easier to understand how this script helps traders spot potential breakout opportunities.
Candlestick based on volume
This code is an indicator for drawing custom candle charts based on volume and analyzing price fluctuations and trends. A specific description is provided below:
Main functions and analysis details
Cumulative Volume Calculation
Accumulates the volume of all bars and calculates the cumulative volume. This gives an idea of the total volume of volume.
Counter Calculation
The value of the counter is determined by continuously dividing the accumulated volume by 2. This counter shows the change in volume.
Calculation of Counter Change and Duration
When the value of the counter changes, the duration of the change is calculated. This tells us how long the change in volume lasted.
Calculation of slope and angle
The slope is calculated from the amount of change in the counter and the period of time it took for the counter to change, and the angle is calculated from the slope. This allows you to visualize the trend of the volume change and the direction of the trend.
Setting Counter Color and Background Color
Set the color of the counter based on the period of change. Longer periods are displayed in red, and shorter periods in green. The background color also changes based on the angle, indicating the strength and direction of the trend.
Drawing Custom Candles
Draw custom candles based on volume changes. As the counter changes, a new candle is formed, highlighting the price movement.
Display of simple moving averages (SMA)
Calculates the average of prices over a selected period of time and displays that average. This smoothes out price trends and fluctuations and clearly shows the direction of the trend.
Comparison of the upper and lower lengths of candles
Calculates the upper and lower lengths of each candle (lower half and upper half) and changes the color of the SMA based on which is longer. This visualizes the effect of price fluctuations due to the shape of the candles.
Key Points of Use
Trend Analysis: Analyze the direction and strength of a trend using custom candles based on volume, background color, and tilt angle.
Change highlighting: Visually highlight important points with counter changes and flags.
Price Averaging: Use SMA to smooth price trends, reduce noise, and determine trend direction.
VSA Wyckoff Volume with Bubbles Introducing the "VSA Wyckoff Volume" indicator—a powerful tool for traders who want to visualize and analyze market volume with precision. This indicator leverages Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) and Wyckoff principles to categorize volume into six distinct levels: Ultra High, Very High, High, Normal, Low, and Very Low. Each level is represented by a color-coded bubble on the chart, with bubble sizes adjusted according to the volume intensity. Additionally, the indicator incorporates an ATR-based positioning system, ensuring that each bubble is placed accurately on the chart for easy interpretation. Whether you're an experienced trader or new to the market, this indicator provides clear insights into market activity, helping you make more informed trading decisions.
Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) is a trading methodology that analyzes the relationship between volume, price, and the spread (range) of a price bar. It was developed by Tom Williams, who combined his experience as a trader with principles derived from Richard D. Wyckoff's work on market manipulation.
Key Concepts of VSA:
Volume: The amount of a particular asset traded during a specific time period. In VSA, volume is a key indicator of market activity and is used to understand the strength or weakness behind price movements.
Spread: The range between the high and low of a price bar. The spread, when analyzed in conjunction with volume, can indicate whether the market is being driven by strong or weak hands.
Price: The actual value at which an asset is traded. VSA looks at price in relation to volume and spread to identify the intentions of smart money (large institutional traders).
How VSA Works:
VSA aims to uncover the footprints of smart money by analyzing the volume and price spread. The core idea is that significant price movements accompanied by high volume indicate the involvement of professional traders, while price movements on low volume might suggest that the move lacks conviction or is driven by retail traders.
VSA in Practice:
High Volume, Narrow Spread: This could indicate supply coming into the market as professional traders sell into the buying pressure, leading to potential price weakness.
High Volume, Wide Spread, Price Up: This often suggests strong buying interest, with smart money pushing prices higher.
Low Volume, Wide Spread: A sign of a potential weak market, where price is moving without strong participation, indicating that the move may not be sustainable.
Applications:
VSA is particularly useful for identifying potential turning points in the market, understanding market sentiment, and anticipating future price movements based on the actions of smart money. Traders who use VSA often combine it with other technical analysis tools to build a comprehensive trading strategy.
Your "VSA Wyckoff Volume" indicator, by categorizing volume into distinct levels and visualizing it on the chart, provides an enhanced way to apply VSA principles and understand the underlying market dynamics.

Uptrick: Volume-Weighted EMA Signal### **Uptrick: Volume-Weighted EMA Signal (UVES) Indicator - Comprehensive Description**
#### **Overview**
The **Uptrick: Volume-Weighted EMA Signal (UVES)** is an advanced, multifaceted trading indicator meticulously designed to provide traders with a holistic view of market trends by integrating Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) with volume analysis. This indicator not only identifies the direction of market trends through dynamic EMAs but also evaluates the underlying strength of these trends using real-time volume data. UVES is a versatile tool suitable for various trading styles and markets, offering a high degree of customization to meet the specific needs of individual traders.
#### **Purpose**
The UVES indicator aims to enhance traditional trend-following strategies by incorporating a critical yet often overlooked component: volume. Volume is a powerful indicator of market strength, providing insights into the conviction behind price movements. By merging EMA-based trend signals with detailed volume analysis, UVES offers a more nuanced and reliable approach to identifying trading opportunities. This dual-layer analysis allows traders to differentiate between strong trends supported by significant volume and weaker trends that may be prone to reversals.
#### **Key Features and Functions**
1. **Dynamic Exponential Moving Average (EMA):**
- The core of the UVES indicator is its dynamic EMA, calculated over a customizable period. The EMA is a widely used technical indicator that smooths price data to identify the underlying trend. In UVES, the EMA is dynamically colored—green when the current EMA value is above the previous value, indicating an uptrend, and red when below, signaling a downtrend. This visual cue helps traders quickly assess the trend direction without manually calculating or interpreting raw data.
2. **Comprehensive Moving Average Customization:**
- While the EMA is the default moving average in UVES, traders can select from various other moving average types, including Simple Moving Average (SMA), Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), and Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). Each type offers unique characteristics:
- **SMA:** Provides a simple average of prices over a specified period, suitable for identifying long-term trends.
- **EMA:** Gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to recent market movements.
- **SMMA (RMA):** A slower-moving average that reduces noise, ideal for capturing smoother trends.
- **WMA:** Weighs prices based on their order in the dataset, making recent prices more influential.
- **VWMA:** Integrates volume data, emphasizing price movements that occur with higher volume, making it particularly useful in volume-sensitive markets.
3. **Signal Line for Trend Confirmation:**
- UVES includes an optional signal line, which applies a secondary moving average to the primary EMA. This signal line can be used to smooth out the EMA and confirm trend changes. The signal line’s color changes based on its slope—green for an upward slope and red for a downward slope—providing a clear visual confirmation of trend direction. Traders can adjust the length and type of this signal line, allowing them to tailor the indicator’s responsiveness to their trading strategy.
4. **Buy and Sell Signal Generation:**
- UVES generates explicit buy and sell signals based on the interaction between the EMA and the signal line. A **buy signal** is triggered when the EMA transitions from a red (downtrend) to a green (uptrend), indicating a potential entry point. Conversely, a **sell signal** is triggered when the EMA shifts from green to red, suggesting an exit or shorting opportunity. These signals are displayed directly on the chart as upward or downward arrows, making them easily identifiable even during fast market conditions.
5. **Volume Analysis with Real-Time Buy/Sell Volume Table:**
- One of the standout features of UVES is its integration of volume analysis, which calculates and displays the volume attributed to buying and selling activities. This analysis includes:
- **Buy Volume:** The portion of the total volume associated with price increases (close higher than open).
- **Sell Volume:** The portion of the total volume associated with price decreases (close lower than open).
- **Buy/Sell Ratio:** A ratio of buy volume to sell volume, providing a quick snapshot of market sentiment.
- These metrics are presented in a real-time table positioned in the top-right corner of the chart, with customizable colors and formatting. The table updates with each new bar, offering continuous feedback on the strength and direction of the market trend based on volume data.
6. **Customizable Settings and User Control:**
- **EMA Length and Source:** Traders can specify the lookback period for the EMA, adjusting its sensitivity to price changes. The source for EMA calculations can also be customized, with options such as close, open, high, low, or other custom price series.
- **Signal Line Customization:** The signal line’s length, type, and width can be adjusted to suit different trading strategies, allowing traders to optimize the balance between trend detection and noise reduction.
- **Offset Adjustment:** The offset feature allows users to shift the EMA and signal line forward or backward on the chart. This can help align the indicator with specific price action or adjust for latency in decision-making processes.
- **Volume Table Positioning and Formatting:** The position, size, and color scheme of the volume table are fully customizable, enabling traders to integrate the table seamlessly into their chart setup without cluttering the visual workspace.
7. **Versatility Across Markets and Trading Styles:**
- UVES is designed to be effective across a wide range of financial markets, including Forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and indices. Its adaptability to different markets is supported by its comprehensive customization options and the inclusion of volume analysis, which is particularly valuable in markets where volume plays a crucial role in price movement.
#### **How Different Traders Can Benefit from UVES**
1. **Trend Followers:**
- Trend-following traders will find UVES particularly beneficial for identifying and riding trends. The dynamic EMA and signal line provide clear visual cues for trend direction, while the volume analysis helps confirm the strength of these trends. This combination allows trend followers to stay in profitable trades longer and exit when the trend shows signs of weakening.
2. **Volume-Based Traders:**
- Traders who focus on volume as a key indicator of market strength can leverage the UVES volume table to gain insights into the buying and selling pressure behind price movements. By monitoring the buy/sell ratio, these traders can identify periods of strong conviction (high buy volume) or potential reversals (high sell volume) with greater accuracy.
3. **Scalpers and Day Traders:**
- For traders operating on shorter time frames, UVES provides quick and reliable signals that are essential for making rapid trading decisions. The ability to customize the EMA length and type allows scalpers to fine-tune the indicator for responsiveness, while the volume analysis offers an additional layer of confirmation to avoid false signals.
4. **Swing Traders:**
- Swing traders, who typically hold positions for several days to weeks, can use UVES to identify medium-term trends and potential entry and exit points. The indicator’s ability to filter out market noise through the signal line and volume analysis makes it ideal for capturing significant price movements without being misled by short-term volatility.
5. **Position Traders and Long-Term Investors:**
- Even long-term investors can benefit from UVES by using it to identify major trend reversals or confirm the strength of long-term trends. The flexibility to adjust the EMA and signal line to longer periods ensures that the indicator remains relevant for detecting shifts in market sentiment over extended time frames.
#### **Optimal Settings for Different Markets**

VWAP with Trend Alerts [CrossTrade]The VWAP with Trend Alerts indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive visual and analytical tool for traders using the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) along with additional features like custom bar coloring and trend-based signal alerts.
Key Components and Functionalities:
1. VWAP Calculation: The core of this indicator is the VWAP, which represents the average price of an asset, weighted by volume. It's a popular tool among traders to identify the general direction and strength of a trend, and for assessing entry and exit points.
2. Standard Deviation Bands: Surrounding the VWAP are multiple bands calculated based on standard deviation values. These bands serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. The script allows up to three bands, each with customizable multipliers, giving insights into price volatility and potential breakout or reversal points.
3. Bar Coloring Options:
- Color All Bars: When enabled, all bars on the chart are colored based on whether they close above (green) or below (red) the VWAP.
- Trend Bars Only: This option, when selected, colors only the bars that close beyond the second standard deviation band. It helps in identifying stronger trends and significant market movements.
4. Buy and Sell Signal Conditions: The script includes conditions for buy and sell signals specifically tailored for trend bars. A buy signal is generated when a bar closes above both the VWAP and the upper second standard deviation band, indicating a potential strong uptrend. Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when a bar closes below both the VWAP and the lower second standard deviation band, suggesting a strong downtrend.
5. Alert Conditions: To aid in timely decision-making, the script features alert conditions corresponding to the buy and sell signals.
Usage and Application:
- For Trend Identification: The VWAP and its bands can help identify the prevailing market trend. Bars closing consistently above the VWAP suggest an uptrend, while those closing below indicate a downtrend.
- Volatility Assessment: The standard deviation bands provide a visual representation of market volatility. Narrower bands suggest low volatility, while wider bands indicate high volatility.
- Signal Alerts for Trading: The buy and sell signals, especially those filtered by the trend bars condition, can be valuable for traders looking for strong movement confirmations.
Flexibility and Customization:
This indicator is highly customizable and builds off of the core logic found in standard VWAP indicators. By allowing traders to adjust the standard deviation multipliers and choose their preferred bar coloring strategy. It caters to various trading styles, whether focusing on the broader market trend or pinpointing significant trend-based movements.
VPSA - Volume Price Spread AnalysisDear Analysts and Traders,
I am pleased to present the latest version of my indicator, based on the logic of analyzing spread and volume. In this version, the indicator examines spread and volume using min-max normalization. The statistical value is captured through Z-Score standardization, and I have added configurable alerts based on the normalized values of spread, volume, and the sigmas for these variables.
Theory and Evolution of the Indicator
The normalization function used in this program allows for the comparison of two values with different ranges on a single chart. The values that reach the highest within the examined range are assigned a value of one. As in previous versions, I have adopted a bar chart where the wider bar represents volume and the narrower bar represents spread. I believe that using normalization is the most intuitive approach, as the standardization in the earlier sVPSA version could cause confusion. This was due to smaller bars for higher actual values and negative bars, which required additional reliance on actual volume data and significant proficiency in using the indicator. These were limitations stemming from the computational aspect of these issues. As in the previously mentioned script, I also used Z-Score standardization here, which serves as a measure of deviation from the mean. This is visualized in the script as the color of the bars, which in the default configuration are as follows: below one sigma - blue; above one sigma up to two sigmas - green; above two sigmas up to three sigmas - red; and above three sigmas - fuchsia. Additionally, I applied an exponential moving average in this indicator to minimize the influence of older candles on the mean. The indicator has been enhanced with configurable alerts, allowing for substantial control over the conditions triggering them. The alerts enable the definition of normalized variable values and sigma values. Furthermore, the program allows for the definition of logical dependencies for these conditions.
Summary
The program I have developed is a synthesis of the most important and useful functions from the indicators I previously created. The indicator is a standalone and powerful tool that facilitates effective analysis of the spread-volume relationship, which is one of the fundamental methods of analysis according to the Wyckoff and VSA methodologies. The alerts introduced in this version provide extensive possibilities for controlling the dynamics of any market.
Should you encounter any errors or have suggestions regarding the indicator, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you successful analyses! All the best!

**Credits**
**Acknowledgments**:
This strategy is based on the concept of the PVT indicator and its application in strategy design, drawing on contributions from technical analysis and the trading community.
**Clean Chart Description**
**Chart Appearance**:
This strategy is designed to maintain a clean and simple chart by turning off the plot of PVT, its EMA, and entry signals. This reduces clutter and allows for more effective trend analysis.
**Addressing the House Rule Violations**
**Omissions and Unrealistic Claims**
**Clarification**:
This strategy does not make unrealistic or unsupported claims about its performance, and all signals are for educational purposes only, not guaranteeing future results. It is important to understand that past performance does not guarantee future outcomes.
