Breakout Boxes [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
The Breakout Boxes indicator identifies key structural levels by detecting and aligning two consecutive pivots — forming confirmation zones where potential breakouts are most likely to occur. Once two pivots align within a defined ATR range, the indicator constructs a Breakout Box around that area, tracking volume distribution and breakout strength. When price breaks above or below these boxes, breakout labels (⯁ BreakUp / BreakDn) are displayed to confirm trend continuation.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Pivot-Based Detection: Uses a customizable pivot length to identify market swing highs and lows.
Two-Pivot Alignment Logic: A breakout box is only created when two pivot highs or lows form near the same level, confirming structural alignment and increasing breakout reliability.
Dynamic Box Generation: Builds upper and lower boxes once pivot alignment is confirmed, adapting automatically to new structures.
Volume Distribution Analysis: Each box measures total traded volume and separates it into bullish and bearish components, showing buy/sell percentages inside the range.
The volume data is calculated in real time as long as the box remains active and unbroken, allowing traders to monitor live accumulation or distribution before a breakout occurs.
Breakout Confirmation Signals: Labels appear when price decisively breaks above the upper box (⯁ BreakUp) or below the lower one (⯁ BreakDn).
Adaptive ATR Scaling: Box size dynamically adjusts to volatility, maintaining consistent proportions across assets and timeframes.
Color-Coded Visualization: Upper (bearish) boxes use pink tones; lower (bullish) boxes use green, both with transparent fill for volume clarity.
Automatic Box Resetting: Previous boxes close when a new pivot pair forms, ensuring only the most relevant structure is active.
⯁ USAGE
Watch for Two Pivot Alignments — the indicator only activates when structural confluence exists, reducing false breakout signals.
Upper Boxes represent resistance formed by two aligned swing highs; a breakout above indicates potential bullish continuation.
Lower Boxes represent support formed by two aligned swing lows; a breakdown below indicates bearish continuation.
Analyze the Volume Ratio inside each box — higher buy volume in upper boxes supports bullish breakouts, while higher sell volume in lower boxes supports bearish moves.
Use this tool alongside trend indicators or higher timeframe context to confirm the direction of breakouts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Breakout Boxes indicator refines breakout analysis by requiring two aligned pivots to validate structural zones. By combining pivot confluence with volume distribution and adaptive ATR scaling, it provides a precise, data-backed visualization of breakout strength and direction — a powerful tool for structure-based trading confirmation.

Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile is a smart-flow liquidity tracker that maps where stop-loss clusters and resting limit orders are likely positioned.
Instead of traditional volume profiles based only on executed transactions, this tool projects probable liquidity pools — areas where traders are trapped or positioned and where smart money may hunt stops or fill orders.
It dynamically scans recent price swings, builds liquidity zones above and below price, and visualizes them as a heat map + histogram — highlighting areas with the greatest liquidity attraction.
Orange highlights the highest-concentration liquidity (POC), making potential sweep targets obvious.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Liquidity pools form above swing highs (buy stops) and below swing lows (sell stops).
Market makers & large players often push price into these zones to trigger stops and capture liquidity.
The indicator uses recent volatility + volume expansion to estimate where these pools exist.
Horizontal heat bars show depth and intensity of probable liquidity.
Profile side histogram displays buy-side vs sell-side liquidity distribution.
🔵 FEATURES
Dynamic Liquidity Detection — finds potential stop-loss clusters from recent swing behavior.
Dual-Side Heatmap — split liquidity view above (short stops) and below (long stops) current price.
Volume-Weighted Levels — higher volatility & volume = deeper liquidity expectation.
Real-Time Heat Coloring
• Lime = liquidity below price (potential buy-side fuel)
• Blue = liquidity above price (potential sell-side fuel)
• Orange = peak liquidity (POC)
Liquidity Profile Histogram — plotted at right side, layered by strength.
Auto-Cleaning Engine — removes invalidated liquidity after breaks.
Adjustable lookback window and bin resolution .
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for price moving toward dense liquidity zones — high probability of wick raids or sweeps.
Orange POC often acts as magnet — strong target zone for smart money.
Combine with SFP / BOS logic to time reversals after liquidity hunts.
In trend, price repeatedly sweeps opposite-side liquidity before continuation.
Use liquidity walls as bias filters — heavy liquidity above often precedes downward move, and vice-versa.
Great for scalping sessions, indices, FX, BTC, ETH.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile gives traders a tactical edge by revealing where the market’s hidden liquidity resides.
It highlights where shorts and longs are positioned, identifies likely sweep zones, and marks the most attractive liquidity magnet (POC).
Use it to anticipate stop hunts, avoid getting trapped, and align with smart-money flow instead of fighting it.

Machine Learning Moving Average [BackQuant]Machine Learning Moving Average
A powerful tool combining clustering, pseudo-machine learning, and adaptive prediction, enabling traders to understand and react to price behavior across multiple market regimes (Bullish, Neutral, Bearish). This script uses a dynamic clustering approach based on percentile thresholds and calculates an adaptive moving average, ideal for forecasting price movements with enhanced confidence levels.
What is Percentile Clustering?
Percentile clustering is a method that sorts and categorizes data into distinct groups based on its statistical distribution. In this script, the clustering process relies on the percentile values of a composite feature (based on technical indicators like RSI, CCI, ATR, etc.). By identifying key thresholds (lower and upper percentiles), the script assigns each data point (price movement) to a cluster (Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish), based on its proximity to these thresholds.
This approach mimics aspects of machine learning, where we “train” the model on past price behavior to predict future movements. The key difference is that this is not true machine learning; rather, it uses data-driven statistical techniques to "cluster" the market into patterns.
Why Percentile Clustering is Useful
Clustering price data into meaningful patterns (Bullish, Neutral, Bearish) helps traders visualize how price behavior can be grouped over time.
By leveraging past price behavior and technical indicators, percentile clustering adapts dynamically to evolving market conditions.
It helps you understand whether price behavior today aligns with past bullish or bearish trends, improving market context.
Clusters can be used to predict upcoming market conditions by identifying regimes with high confidence, improving entry/exit timing.
What This Script Does
Clustering Based on Percentiles : The script uses historical price data and various technical features to compute a "composite feature" for each bar. This feature is then sorted and clustered based on predefined percentile thresholds (e.g., 10th percentile for lower, 90th percentile for upper).
Cluster-Based Prediction : Once clustered, the script uses a weighted average, cluster momentum, or regime transition model to predict future price behavior over a specified number of bars.
Dynamic Moving Average : The script calculates a machine-learning-inspired moving average (MLMA) based on the current cluster, adjusting its behavior according to the cluster regime (Bullish, Neutral, Bearish).
Adaptive Confidence Levels : Confidence in the predicted return is calculated based on the distance between the current value and the other clusters. The further it is from the next closest cluster, the higher the confidence.
Visual Cluster Mapping : The script visually highlights different clusters on the chart with distinct colors for Bullish, Neutral, and Bearish regimes, and plots the MLMA line.
Prediction Output : It projects the predicted price based on the selected method and shows both predicted price and confidence percentage for each prediction horizon.
Trend Identification : Using the clustering output, the script colors the bars based on the current cluster to reflect whether the market is trending Bullish (green), Bearish (red), or is Neutral (gray).
How Traders Use It
Predicting Price Movements : The script provides traders with an idea of where prices might go based on past market behavior. Traders can use this forecast for short-term and long-term predictions, guiding their trades.
Clustering for Regime Analysis : Traders can identify whether the market is in a Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish regime, using that information to adjust trading strategies.
Adaptive Moving Average for Trend Following : The adaptive moving average can be used as a trend-following indicator, helping traders stay in the market when it’s aligned with the current trend (Bullish or Bearish).
Entry/Exit Strategy : By understanding the current cluster and its associated trend, traders can time entries and exits with higher precision, taking advantage of favorable conditions when the confidence in the predicted price is high.
Confidence for Risk Management : The confidence level associated with the predicted returns allows traders to manage risk better. Higher confidence levels indicate stronger market conditions, which can lead to higher position sizes.
Pseudo Machine Learning Aspect
While the script does not use conventional machine learning models (e.g., neural networks or decision trees), it mimics certain aspects of machine learning in its approach. By using clustering and the dynamic adjustment of a moving average, the model learns from historical data to adjust predictions for future price behavior. The "learning" comes from how the script uses past price data (and technical indicators) to create patterns (clusters) and predict future market movements based on those patterns.
Why This Is Important for Traders
Understanding market regimes helps to adjust trading strategies in a way that adapts to current market conditions.
Forecasting price behavior provides an additional edge, enabling traders to time entries and exits based on predicted price movements.
By leveraging the clustering technique, traders can separate noise from signal, improving the reliability of trading signals.
The combination of clustering and predictive modeling in one tool reduces the complexity for traders, allowing them to focus on actionable insights rather than manual analysis.
How to Interpret the Output
Bullish (Green) Zone : When the price behavior clusters into the Bullish zone, expect upward price movement. The MLMA line will help confirm if the trend remains upward.
Bearish (Red) Zone : When the price behavior clusters into the Bearish zone, expect downward price movement. The MLMA line will assist in tracking any downward trends.
Neutral (Gray) Zone : A neutral market condition signals indecision or range-bound behavior. The MLMA line can help track any potential breakouts or trend reversals.
Predicted Price : The projected price is shown on the chart, based on the cluster's predicted behavior. This provides a useful reference for where the price might move in the near future.
Prediction Confidence : The confidence percentage helps you gauge the reliability of the predicted price. A higher percentage indicates stronger market confidence in the forecasted move.
Tips for Use
Combining with Other Indicators : Use the output of this indicator in combination with your existing strategy (e.g., RSI, MACD, or moving averages) to enhance signal accuracy.
Position Sizing with Confidence : Increase position size when the prediction confidence is high, and decrease size when it’s low, based on the confidence interval.
Regime-Based Strategy : Consider developing a multi-strategy approach where you use this tool for Bullish or Bearish regimes and a separate strategy for Neutral markets.
Optimization : Adjust the lookback period and percentile settings to optimize the clustering algorithm based on your asset’s characteristics.
Conclusion
The Machine Learning Moving Average offers a novel approach to price prediction by leveraging percentile clustering and a dynamically adapting moving average. While not a traditional machine learning model, this tool mimics the adaptive behavior of machine learning by adjusting to evolving market conditions, helping traders predict price movements and identify trends with improved confidence and accuracy.
Advanced Liquidity Fibonacci Zones - Ace of TradesAdvanced Liquidity Fibonacci Zones – Ace of Trades Theory
How to Use This Script:
This advanced indicator visualizes key "liquidity zones" based on custom Fibonacci levels, reflecting the real areas where market makers, institutions, and advanced algorithms manage risk—far beyond basic retail “golden ratio” retracements. Unlike traditional tools, these zones align with the market maker theory popularized by Ace of Trades (@acethebully on X).
How to Paint the Highs and Lows
Select the Indicator ("Advanced Liquidity Fibonacci Zones – Ace of Trades Theory") and add it to your chart.
Use the two input fields to manually mark your key swing points:
Click the “Swing Low (0.0 Level)” input, then select a price bar on your chart for the swing low.
Click the “Swing High (1.0 Level)” input, then select the bar for your swing high.
These anchors will paint the exact price range that all fib zones are projected between.
The script will automatically draw all major liquidity/retracement/extension zones as colored bands or boxes across your chart, extended into the future for clear reference.
What Do the Zones Mean?
Zones are based on Ace of Trades' market maker theory. They're not just “lines”—they show where professional liquidity providers, algorithms, and institutional traders strategically rebalance, accumulate, or distribute.
Each zone is labeled with its precise fib ratio and price, with zone descriptions acknowledging their theoretical function (e.g., Golden Band, Momentum Pullback, Stop-Hunt Extension, Blow-Off Range, etc).
Best Practices
Use the script to identify areas where liquidity is expected to pool (for reaction or continuation), rather than just following retail golden ratios.
Paint your swing highs/lows cleanly—from the local low before an impulse, to the most relevant high after a move (or vice versa for down moves).
Observe how price reacts at these boundaries and plan entries/exits accordingly.
Special thanks and all intellectual credit to Ace of Trades (@acethebully on X) for his public education and original market maker insights.
This tool was developed to fully honor and operationalize the liquidity geometry theory from his work.
Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel [BOSWaves]Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel - Adaptive Mean Reversion with Dynamic Equilibrium Geometry
Overview
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel introduces an advanced equilibrium-mapping framework that blends statistical mean reversion with adaptive trend geometry. Traditional channels and regression bands react linearly to volatility, often failing to capture the natural rhythm of price equilibrium. This model evolves that concept through a dynamic reversion engine, where equilibrium adapts continuously to volatility, trend slope, and structural bias - forming a living channel that bends, expands, and contracts in real time.
The result is a smooth, equilibrium-driven representation of market balance - not just trend direction. Instead of static bands or abrupt slope shifts, traders see fluid, volatility-aware motion that mirrors the natural pull-and-release dynamic of market behavior. Each channel visualizes the probabilistic boundaries of fair value, showing where price tends to revert and where it accelerates away from its statistical mean.
Unlike conventional envelopes or Bollinger-type constructs, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck framework is volatility-reactive and equilibrium-sensitive, providing traders with a contextual map of where price is likely to stabilize, extend, or exhaust.
Theoretical Foundation
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is inspired by stochastic mean-reversion processes - mathematical models used to describe systems that oscillate around a drifting equilibrium. While linear regression channels assume constant variance, financial markets operate under variable volatility and shifting equilibrium points. The OU process accounts for this by treating price as a mean-seeking motion governed by volatility and trend persistence.
At its core are three interacting components:
Equilibrium Mean (μ) : Represents the evolving balance point of price, adjusting to directional bias and volatility.
Reversion Rate (θ) : Defines how strongly price is pulled back toward equilibrium after deviation, capturing the self-correcting nature of market structure.
Volatility Coefficient (σ) : Controls how far and how quickly price can diverge from equilibrium before mean reversion pressure increases.
By embedding this stochastic model inside a volatility-adjusted framework, the system accurately scales across different markets and conditions - maintaining meaningful equilibrium geometry across crypto, forex, indices, or commodities. This design gives traders a mathematically grounded yet visually intuitive interpretation of dynamic balance in live market motion.
How It Works
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is constructed through a structured multi-stage process that merges stochastic logic with volatility mechanics:
Equilibrium Estimation Core : The indicator begins by identifying the evolving mean using adaptive smoothing influenced by trend direction and volatility. This becomes the live centerline - the statistical anchor around which price naturally oscillates.
Volatility Normalization Layer : ATR or rolling deviation is used to calculate volatility intensity. The output scales the channel width dynamically, ensuring that boundaries reflect current variance rather than static thresholds.
Directional Bias Engine : EMA slope and trend confirmation logic determine whether equilibrium should tilt upward or downward. This creates asymmetrical channel motion that bends with the prevailing trend rather than staying horizontal.
Channel Boundary Construction : Upper and lower bands are plotted at volatility-proportional distances from the mean. These envelopes form the “statistical pressure zones” that indicate where mean reversion or acceleration may occur.
Signal and Lifecycle Control : Channel breaches, mean crossovers, and slope flips mark statistically significant events - exhaustion, continuation, or rebalancing. Older equilibrium zones gradually fade, ensuring a clear, context-aware visual field.
Through these layers, the channel forms a continuously updating equilibrium corridor that adapts in real time - breathing with the market’s volatility and rhythm.
Interpretation
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel reframes how traders interpret balance and momentum. Instead of viewing price as directional movement alone, it visualizes the constant tension between trending force and equilibrium pull.
Uptrend Phases : The equilibrium mean tilts upward, with price oscillating around or slightly above the midline. Upper band touches signal momentum extension; lower touches reflect healthy reversion.
Downtrend Phases : The mean slopes downward, with upper-band interactions marking resistance zones and lower bands acting as reversion boundaries.
Equilibrium Transitions : Flat mean sections indicate balance or distribution phases. Breaks from these neutral zones often precede directional expansion.
Overextension Events : When price closes beyond an outer boundary, it marks statistically significant disequilibrium - an early warning of exhaustion or volatility reset.
Visually, the OU channel translates volatility and equilibrium into structured geometry, giving traders a statistical lens on trend quality, reversion probability, and volatility stress points.
Strategy Integration
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel integrates seamlessly into both mean-reversion and trend-continuation systems:
Trend Alignment : Use mean slope direction to confirm higher-timeframe bias before entering continuation setups.
Reversion Entries : Target rejections from outer bands when supported by volume or divergence, capturing snapbacks toward equilibrium.
Volatility Breakout Mapping : Monitor boundary expansions to identify transition from compression to expansion phases.
Liquidity Zone Confirmation : Combine with BOS or order-block indicators to validate structural zones against equilibrium positioning.
Momentum Filtering : Align with oscillators or volume profiles to isolate equilibrium-based pullbacks with statistical context.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : Stochastic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for continuous mean recalibration.
Volatility Framework : ATR- and deviation-based scaling for dynamic channel expansion.
Directional Logic : EMA-slope driven bias for adaptive mean tilt.
Channel Composition : Independent upper and lower envelopes with smoothing and transparency control.
Signal Structure : Alerts for mean crossovers and boundary breaches.
Performance Profile : Lightweight, multi-timeframe compatible implementation optimized for real-time responsiveness.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Reactive equilibrium tracking for short-term scalping and microstructure analysis.
15 - 60 min : Medium-range setups for volatility-phase transitions and intraday structure.
4H - Daily : Macro equilibrium mapping for identifying exhaustion, distribution, or reaccumulation zones.
Suggested Configuration:
Mean Length : 20 - 50
Volatility Multiplier : 1.5× - 2.5×
Reversion Sensitivity : 0.4 - 0.8
Smoothing : 2 - 5
Parameter tuning should reflect asset liquidity, volatility, and desired reversion frequency.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending environments with cyclical pullbacks and volatility oscillation.
Markets exhibiting consistent equilibrium-return behavior (indices, majors, high-cap crypto).
Reduced Effectiveness:
Low-volatility consolidations with minimal variance.
Random walk markets lacking definable equilibrium anchors.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Pair with BOSWaves structural tools or momentum oscillators for context validation.
Directional Control : Follow mean slope alignment for directional conviction before acting on channel extremes.
Risk Calibration : Use outer band violations for controlled contrarian entries or trailing stop management.
Multi-Timeframe Synergy : Derive macro equilibrium zones on higher timeframes and refine entries on lower levels.
Disclaimer
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is a professional-grade equilibrium and volatility framework. It is not predictive or profit-assured; performance depends on parameter calibration, volatility regime, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends using it as part of a comprehensive analytical stack combining structure, liquidity, and momentum context.
ALMA & EMA Ribbon by zdmreThis indicator combines a unique trend-following signal with a classic EMA ribbon to provide a clear view of the market trend.
The main signal line is not based on a typical ATR. Instead, it uses an Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) as its baseline and calculates support/resistance bands using Standard Deviation. This creates a responsive trend line that adapts well to volatility. This is paired with a simple EMA Ribbon to help confirm momentum.
What It Does
ALMA + SD Trend Line: This is the core of the indicator. It uses an ALMA as the baseline (instead of a simple MA) and Standard Deviation for the bands. This tends to be more responsive than many traditional trend-following indicators.
Buy/Sell Signals: Simple "B" and "S" labels appear on your chart when the trend is calculated to have changed direction.
EMA Ribbon: A standard Fast/Slow EMA ribbon is plotted to give you a secondary confirmation of momentum. The fill between the EMAs changes color (green for bull, red for bear).
On-Screen Dashboard: A clean info panel in the corner shows you the current status of all components at a glance:
Current Signal (Long/Short)
Price vs. Trend Line (Above/Below)
Trend Strength (%)
EMA Trend (Bullish/Bearish)
Momentum
Fully Customizable: You can toggle every visual element on or off (the signals, the ribbon, the bar coloring, the dashboard) to keep your chart clean.
Settings
Trend Settings:
Factor: This is the main setting. It's the Standard Deviation multiplier. A higher value makes the line less sensitive (fewer signals). A lower value makes it more sensitive (more signals).
SD Length: The lookback for the Standard Deviation.
ALMA Settings:
ALMA Length, Sigma, Offset: Standard controls for the ALMA's smoothness and responsiveness.
EMA Ribbon:
Fast EMA & Slow EMA: Set the lengths for your ribbon.
Visual Settings:
Checkboxes to toggle all visual components (signals, ribbon, dashboard, etc.).
You can set up alerts in TradingView for the following events:
🟢 Long Signal: Triggers on a new "B" (Buy) signal.
🔴 Short Signal: Triggers on a new "S" (Sell) signal.
⚠️ Price Crossed Trend: Triggers any time the price closes across the main trend line.

Volume Cluster Support and Resistance Levels [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
This indicator identifies statistically significant support and resistance levels through volume cluster analysis, isolating price zones characterized by elevated trading activity and institutional participation. By quantifying areas where volume concentration exceeded historical norms, it reveals price levels with demonstrated supply-demand imbalances that exhibit persistent influence on subsequent price action. The methodology is asset-agnostic and timeframe-independent, applicable across equities, cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities from intraday to weekly intervals.
🟢 Key Features
1. Support and Resistance Levels
The indicator scans historical price data to identify bars where volume exceeds a user-defined threshold multiplier relative to the rolling average. For each qualifying bar, a representative price is calculated using the average of high, low, and close. Proximate price levels within a specified percentage range are then aggregated into discrete clusters using volume-weighted averaging, eliminating redundant signals. Clusters are ranked by cumulative volume to determine statistical significance. Finally, the indicator plots horizontal levels at each cluster price: support levels (green) below current price indicate zones where historical buying pressure exceeded selling pressure, while resistance levels (red) above current price mark zones where sellers historically dominated. These levels represent areas of established liquidity and price discovery, where institutional order flow previously concentrated.
The Touch Count (T) metric quantifies historical price interaction frequency, while Total Volume (TV) measures aggregate trading activity at each level, providing objective criteria for assessing level strength and trade execution decisions.
2. Volume Histogram
A histogram appears below the price chart, displaying relative volume for each bar within the lookback period, with bar height scaled to the maximum volume observed. Green bars represent up-periods (close > open) indicating buying pressure, while red bars show down-periods (close < open) indicating selling pressure. This visualization helps you confirm the validity of support/resistance levels by seeing where volume actually spiked, identify accumulation/distribution patterns, and validate breakouts by checking if they occur on above-average volume.
3. Built-in Alerts
Automated alerts trigger when price crosses below support levels or breaks above resistance levels, allowing you to monitor multiple assets without constant chart-watching.
4. Customizable Color Schemes
The indicator provides four preset color configurations (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Custom) optimized for visual clarity across different charting environments. Each scheme maintains consistent color mapping for support and resistance zones across both level lines and volume histogram components. The Custom configuration permits full color specification to accommodate individual charting setups, ensuring optimal visual contrast for extended analysis sessions.
Classic:
Aqua:
Cosmic:
Custom:
🟢 Pro Tips
→ Trade entry optimization: Execute long positions at support levels with high touch counts or upon confirmed resistance breakouts accompanied by above-average volume
→ Risk parameter definition: Position stop-loss orders near identified support/resistance zones with statistical significance to minimize premature exits
→ Breakout validation: Require volume confirmation exceeding historical average when price penetrates resistance to filter false breakouts
→ Level strength assessment: Prioritize levels with higher touch counts and total volume metrics for enhanced probability trade setups
→ Multi-timeframe confluence: Synthesize support/resistance levels across multiple timeframes to identify high-conviction zones where daily support aligns with 4-hour resistance structures

SMT + CVD (NQ vs ES) w/ AlertsSMT + CVD (NQ vs ES) w/ Alerts
This tool combines Smart Money Technique (SMT) and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to highlight high-probability inflection points on NQ (primary) versus ES (secondary).
How it works
SMT condition: the primary breaks its most recent swing (High for bearish / Low for bullish) while the secondary does not break the corresponding swing within a small retest window.
CVD confirmation: at the same time, the primary’s CVD shows divergence (higher price but lower/equal CVD for shorts, lower price but higher/equal CVD for longs).
When both align, the script plots a marker/label and draws a line from the primary swing to the signal bar. Alerts are fired.
Signals & Alerts
Labels: “SMT+CVD DOWN/UP” on the signal bar.
Lines: connects the primary swing → signal bar so you can see the structure that produced the signal.
Alert names: “SMT+CVD Bearish” and “SMT+CVD Bullish.”
Inputs
Primary / Secondary symbols: defaults NQ & ES (you can change them).
Resolution: use chart timeframe or specify one.
Swing Left/Right Bars: pivot detection depth (higher = larger swings).
Break Window Bars: how many bars the secondary has to not break for SMT to be valid.
CVD Up/Down By: Close vs Previous Close (default) or Close vs Open.
Anchor CVD Daily: resets CVD at session/day start.
CVD Smoothing (EMA): smooths the CVD line (optional show).
FAST Pivots (no future bars): left-only swing detection so signals appear sooner and behave well in Replay/live.
Require Secondary Pivot: if ON, SMT checks wait for a confirmed secondary swing; if OFF, signals can appear while the secondary swing is still forming (useful for Replay/testing).
Show CVD line: optional, may compress price scale.
Non-repaint notes
With FAST Pivots ON, swings are detected with no future bars (minimal latency = leftBars).
With FAST Pivots OFF, standard pivots require rightBars future bars to confirm the swing (classic, but naturally delayed).
Tips
For intraday futures, keep leftBars/rightBars small (e.g., 3/3) and Break Window 1–3.
In Replay, enable FAST Pivots and consider disabling Require Secondary Pivot if you want signals to appear as soon as the primary breaks.
Combine with session filters, execution rules, or liquidity zones for context.

Volume Momentum Div - [TCMaster]📘 Description
Volume + Momentum (Instant Alert) is a dynamic indicator designed to detect potential market tops and bottoms in real time by combining momentum shifts with volume spikes.
Unlike traditional oscillators that confirm signals only after candle close, this tool reacts instantly, providing early alerts during live market movements.
⚙️ How It Works
Momentum Calculation:
Measures the short-term price acceleration using the difference between the current price and the price n periods ago.
Rising momentum indicates bullish strength, while falling momentum shows bearish pressure.
Volume Spike Detection:
Compares current volume to its moving average.
When the current volume exceeds the average by a defined multiplier, it signals strong market participation — often appearing near market reversals.
Signal Logic:
Top Alert (🔻): Momentum turns negative while a volume spike occurs → potential short opportunity.
Bottom Alert (🔺): Momentum turns positive while a volume spike occurs → potential long opportunity.
🎯 Features
Real-time alerts (calc_on_every_tick=true) — signals trigger instantly during live candles.
Multiple plot styles available: Line, Histogram, or Columns.
Simple yet powerful logic suitable for scalping, intraday, and swing trading.
Works across all markets (forex, crypto, stocks, commodities).
💡 How to Use
Look for Volume Spikes — sudden increases in volume often mark exhaustion or breakout points.
Check Momentum Direction — combine with volume to confirm reversals.
Entry/Exit:
Buy when a green triangle (🔺) appears below the bar.
Sell when a red triangle (🔻) appears above the bar.
Optional Filters: For improved accuracy, combine with RSI, Stochastic, or trend filters (e.g., EMA200).

Session ParmezanForex Session Range Boxes (Asia, Europe, US) — visual intraday session tracker for Forex and metals.
This indicator automatically marks the three major Forex trading sessions — Asian (Tokyo), European (London), and American (New York) — directly on your chart using dynamic colored boxes.
Each box represents the full price range (High–Low) formed during that session, helping traders visualize how volatility and liquidity evolve across the global trading day.
The script is built for intraday traders and session-based strategies, especially those who monitor breakouts from the Asian range or reactions during London–New York overlaps.
⚙️ Features
• Accurate session timing (UTC+3 / Moscow Time) — Asia: 03:00–12:00, Europe: 11:00–20:00, US: 16:00–01:00.
• Dynamic range boxes: each box expands in real time as new highs and lows are set during the session.
• Clear visual separation: each session is shown in its own color (blue for Asia, orange for Europe, green for US).
• Automatic daily reset — new boxes start every new session.
• Intraday focus only — visible up to the 1-hour timeframe (M1–H1) for clarity.
• Transparent design — semi-transparent fills keep candles readable even when sessions overlap.
• Lightweight performance — optimized use of box.new() and var variables avoids lag on lower timeframes.
🧭 Typical Use-Cases
• Identify Asian session ranges and watch for London breakouts or New York reversals.
• Visually align your intraday strategy with session volatility cycles.
• Combine with VWAP, liquidity zones, or market profile indicators for deeper confluence.
• Spot overlapping sessions — often the most active periods of the day.
Volume Area 80 Rule Pro - Adaptive RTHSummary in one paragraph
Adaptive value area 80 percent rule for index futures large cap equities liquid crypto and major FX on intraday timeframes. It focuses activity only when multiple context gates align. It is original because the classic prior day value area traverse is fused with a daily regime classifier that remaps the operating parameters in real time.
Scope and intent
• Markets. ES NQ SPY QQQ large cap equities BTC ETH major FX pairs and other liquid RTH instruments
• Timeframes. One minute to one hour with daily regime context
• Default demo used in the publication. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Trade only the balanced days where the 80 percent traverse has edge while standing aside or tightening rules during trend or shock
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. Prior day value area logic plus a rolling daily regime classifier using percentile ranks of realized volatility and ADX. The regime remaps hold time end of window stop buffer and value area coverage on each session
• Failure mode addressed. False starts during strong trend or shock sessions and weak traverses during quiet grind
• Testability. All gates are visible in Inputs and debug flags can be plotted so users can verify why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. The regime uses ATR divided by close and ADX percent ranks which behave consistently across symbols
Method overview in plain language
The script builds the prior session profile during regular trading hours. At the first regular bar it freezes yesterday value area low value area high and point of control. It then evaluates the current session open location the first thirty minute volume rank the open gap rank and an opening drive test. In parallel a daily series classifies context into Calm Balance Trend or Shock from rolling percentile ranks of realized volatility and ADX. The classifier scales the rules. Calm uses longer holds and a slightly wider value area. Trend and Shock shorten the window reduce holds and enlarge stop buffers.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a configurable length on both the daily and intraday series
• Return basis. Not required. ATR over close is the unit for regime strength
Components
• Prior Value Area Engine. Builds yesterday value area low value area high and point of control from a binned volume profile with automatic TPO fallback and minimum integrity guards
• Opening Location. Detects whether the session opens above the prior value area or below it
• Inside Hold Counter. Counts consecutive bars that hold inside the value area after a re entry
• Volume Gate. Percentile of the first thirty minutes volume over a rolling sample
• Gap Gate. Percentile rank of the regular session open gap over a rolling sample
• Drive Gate. Opening drive check using a multiple of intraday ATR
• Regime Classifier. Percentile ranks of daily ATR over close and daily ADX classify Calm Balance Trend Shock and remap parameters
• Session windows optional. Windows follow the chart exchange time
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates approach. A re entry must hold inside the value area for a regime scaled number of bars while the volume gap and drive gates allow the setup. The regime simultaneously scales value area coverage end minute time stop and stop buffer.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion appears when price opens below yesterday value area then re enters and holds for the required bars while all gates allow the setup
• Short suggestion appears when price opens above yesterday value area then re enters and holds for the required bars while all gates allow the setup
• WAIT shows implicitly when any required gate is missing
• Exit labels mark target touch stop touch or a time based close
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart by default
• Session windows optional. Start and end minutes inside regular trading hours
• Invert direction is not used. The logic is symmetric
Logic
• Hold bars inside value area. Typical range 3 to 12. Raising it reduces trades and favors better traverses. Lowering it increases frequency and risk of false starts
• Earliest minute since RTH open and Latest minute since RTH open. Typical range 0 to 390. Reducing the latest minute cuts late session trades
• Time stop bars after entry. Typical range 6 to 30. Larger values give setups more room
Filters
• Value area coverage. Typical range 0.70 to 0.85. Higher coverage narrows the traverse but accepts fewer days
• Bin size in ticks. Typical range 1 to 8. Larger bins stabilize noisy profiles
• Stop buffer ticks beyond edge. Typical range 2 to 20. Larger buffers survive noise
• First thirty minute volume percentile. Typical range 0.30 to 0.70. Higher values require more active opens
• Gap filter percentile. Typical range 0.70 to 0.95. Lower values block more gap days
• Opening drive multiple and bars. Higher multiple or longer bars block strong directional opens
Adaptivity
• Lookback days for regime ranks. Typical 150 to 500
• Calm RV percentile. Typical 25 to 45
• Trend ADX percentile. Typical 55 to 75
• Shock RV percentile. Typical 75 to 90
• End minute ratio in Trend and Shock. Typical 0.5 to 0.8
• Hold and Time stop scales per regime. Use values near one to keep behavior close to static settings
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes
• Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close
• Sessions use the chart exchange time
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the balance premise
• Gap heavy symbols may work better with stronger gap filters and a True Range focus
• Very quiet regimes reduce signal contrast. Consider longer windows or higher thresholds

Aibuyzone Elliott Wave SuiteOverview
This study approximates Elliott-style wave structure using swing pivots. It labels primary waves (1–5), tracks subwaves (1–5) inside them, and plots future projection bands derived from the size of a recent primary leg. A small floating dashboard summarizes the current wave number, bias (bullish/bearish) based on the last leg, and a projection price range.
Note: This tool is educational. Wave detection is algorithmic and approximate; it does not identify textbook Elliott patterns or validate rule sets. Manage risk independently.
What it draws
Primary wave labels (1–5): Based on higher swing length pivots (major turns).
Subwave labels (1–5): Based on shorter swing length pivots (minor turns).
Zigzag connectors: Simple lines between the latest primary pivots for structure visualization.
Projection bands: Three dotted horizontal levels forward from the last primary pivot, using user-defined extension multipliers.
Floating dashboard:
Current Wave: Latest primary wave count (1–5).
Bias: “Bullish Leg” (last pivot was a low) or “Bearish Leg” (last pivot was a high), or “Unknown” if insufficient data.
Proj Range: Min–max of the three projection levels.
Key Inputs
Swing Structure
Primary Swing Length: Pivot left/right bars for major swings. Larger values = fewer, cleaner waves.
Subwave Swing Length: Pivot left/right bars for minor swings. Smaller values = more frequent subwave labels.
Max Saved Swing Points: Memory limit to prevent clutter.
Future Projections
Show Projection Levels: Toggle projection lines on/off.
Use Last Nth Leg For Size: Which recent primary leg to use for measuring projection distance (1 = most recent).
Extension 1 / 2 / 3: Multipliers applied to the measured leg (e.g., 1.0, 1.618, 2.0).
Style
Colors and text sizes for primary and subwave labels, and projection lines.
Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Toggle table on/off.
Dashboard Position: Top-Left / Top-Right / Bottom-Left / Bottom-Right.
How projections are computed
The script measures the price distance of a recent primary leg (from pivot A to pivot B).
If the last pivot is a low, projections extend upward; if the last pivot is a high, projections extend downward.
The three extension inputs (e.g., 1.0 / 1.618 / 2.0) are applied to that leg distance to create dotted forward levels.
The dashboard’s Proj Range displays the min–max of those three levels.
Using the study (suggested workflow)
Choose timeframe appropriate for your style (e.g., higher timeframes for cleaner structure; lower timeframes for detail).
Tune swing lengths:
Increase Primary Swing Length on noisy charts to stabilize wave counts.
Adjust Subwave Swing Length to reveal or simplify internal moves.
Read the dashboard:
Current Wave shows where the latest primary count sits (1–5).
Bias summarizes the direction of the last measured leg only; it is not a trend system.
Proj Range offers a coarse price band derived from your extensions.
Context check: Combine wave labeling with your own market context (trend, structure, volatility) before making decisions.
Risk management: Use your own stop/target methods. The projection lines are not signals.
Practical tips
Clutter control: If labels overlap on volatile symbols, try larger swing lengths or reduce label text sizes in Style.
Scaling: On very small tick sizes, increasing the internal label price offset can improve label readability.
Projection sensitivity: Changing Use Last Nth Leg can materially alter levels; confirm they match your intent.
Non-determinism across timeframes: Different timeframes and symbols will produce different pivot sequences and counts.
Limitations & important notes
Approximation: This does not enforce all Elliott rules (e.g., alternation, wave 4 overlap constraints, channeling). It only labels swings numerically.
Repainting of labels: Pivot-based waves confirm after enough bars have printed to the right of a high/low. Labels are placed when pivots confirm; they don’t predict pivots.
Not a signal generator: No entries/exits/alerts are included; add your own trade plan and risk controls.
Data sufficiency: Early bars or sparse data may show “Unknown” bias or “N/A” projections until adequate pivots exist.

Use a chart that clearly shows this script’s outputs without unrelated indicators.
Keep the description educational. Avoid performance claims, guarantees, or language implying certainty.
Do not include links, promotions, prices, giveaways, contact details, or solicitations.

MACD Overlay v1 [JopAlgo]Meet the MACD you can trade directly from the chart.
MACD Overlay v1 doesn’t just plot an oscillator somewhere below—
it puts value, momentum, and participation on your candles, and it refuses to fire inside chop.
When a triangle prints, it’s because energy released (expansion), not because the chart looked cute.
What it is:
An execution-ready MACD overlay with phase gating (Expansion-Only), participation gating (Weakness-Lite), and one-click Classic vs VW-MACD Compare—all adaptive, with minimal inputs.
What’s in v1 (feature set)
Overlay ribbon on price: Fast/Slow MACD value rendered as a price-level ribbon with contextual fill and optional candle tint.
Dual value model: Classic MA-MACD (EMA/SMA) and VW-MACD (Rolling VWAP fast/slow).
Compare mode: A/B Classic vs VW-MACD with a VW ghost ribbon.
Weakness-Lite (1-bar, adaptive): Gates/fades low-participation crosses using
RVOL deficit, Effort-vs-Result failure, and over-extension vs value/ATR (Strict adds wick pressure).
Expansion-Only (Impulse/Squeeze): Triangles print only when a cross coincides with a true-range burst and a histogram-slope ignition out of compression.
Signal hygiene: ±1-bar proximity around crosses, slope awareness, 2-bar debounce.
Explainable filtering: Tiny gray dots show crosses that were intentionally filtered (weak and/or no expansion).
How to use:
Use defaults: Mode Classic, Gate by Weakness ON, Expansion-Only ON, Sensitivity Auto.
Read signals fast:
Solid triangle = cross + expansion confirmed (+ not weak if gate is ON).
Faded triangle = cross + expansion but weak participation (visible only when gate is OFF).
Gray dot = there was a cross, but it was filtered (no genuine expansion or weak & gated).
Validate quickly: Flip Compare to check VW-MACD agreement. Classic + VW alignment usually improves confidence.
Why overlay > sub-pane oscillator
You see where the cross occurs: relative to value, local structure, and S/R, right on price.
The ribbon exposes regime shifts; tint hints expansion vs contraction at a glance.
Execution becomes more context-aware and less “signal-in-a-vacuum.”
Signals & visuals
Triangles (solid): MACD crossed Signal and market showed expansion out of compression; if Gate by Weakness is ON, triangle prints only with acceptable participation.
Triangles (faded): Same as above but weak (shown only when you turn the gate OFF).
Gray dots: Crosses that were filtered (no expansion and/or Weakness gate).
Ribbon: Fast vs Slow value (Classic or VW, according to Mode). Fill and candle tint reflect expansion/contraction.
Inputs
Calculation Mode: Classic | VW | Compare
VW uses Rolling VWAP fast/slow.
Compare: Classic is primary; VW shows as a ghost ribbon for A/B checks.
Gate triangles by Weakness: ON/OFF
Uses RVOL, Effort-vs-Result, extension vs value/ATR (Strict adds wick-pressure).
Sensitivity: Off / Auto / Strict (default Auto).
Expansion-Only (Impulse/Squeeze): ON/OFF
Requires compression → release: tight ribbon + flat momentum, then TR/ATR burst with hist slope flip / cross proximity.
Display: Ribbon / Candle Tint / Weakness Markers.
Advanced (optional): Evaluate Weakness only near signals, Channel (k × |MACD|), Style Preset.
No numeric thresholds to tune—all filters self-calibrate from rolling stats.
Best practices
4H crypto: Defaults are strong—Auto, Gate ON, Expansion-Only ON.
Clean trends: If you feel you miss some tidy resumptions, briefly toggle Expansion-Only OFF.
Choppy regimes: Set Sensitivity → Strict to cut more noise without adding lag.
Confirmation: Use Compare; Classic + VW alignment typically yields better follow-through.
Alerts
MACD Signal Cross Up/Down — execution-grade (use Once per bar close).
Weakness-Lite Flag — optional context alert to help audit filtered crosses.
