Market Flow Matrix G&MMARKET FLOW MATRIX INDICATOR
I'm sharing my new indicator that shows WHERE money is flowing in the crypto market!
WHAT DOES IT DO?
This indicator analyzes TOTAL, TOTAL2, BTC.D, ETH.D, and ALT.D data to show whether money is flowing to BTC, ETH, or altcoins.
5 MAIN INDICATORS:
Liquidity Flow Score (LAS)
Is money flowing to altcoins or BTC?
Greater than 1.02 = Money entering altcoins
Less than 0.95 = Money fleeing to BTC
Rotation Strength (RG)
Is money rotating from BTC to altcoins?
Positive = Altcoin rotation started
Negative = Return to BTC
AltSeason Probability
Score between 0-100
Higher values indicate approaching altcoin season
Market Flow Gauge
0-30 = BTC zone (red)
70-100 = Altcoin zone (green)
TOTAL2 Spread
Weight of altcoins in the market
SIGNALS:
Green Triangle = ALTCOIN BUY
Liquidity flowing to alts + Bull trend
Red Triangle = ALTCOIN SELL / SWITCH TO BTC
Liquidity returning to BTC + Risk increasing
Blue Diamond = ETHEREUM SEASON
ETH dominance rising + Focus on ETH
HOW TO USE:
Purple line above 70 + Green triangle = Buy altcoins
Purple line below 30 + Red triangle = Sell altcoins
Blue diamond appears = Focus on ETH and large caps
WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THE CHART:
Purple line: Overall market flow (0-100)
Colored histogram: Rotation strength
Orange line: AltSeason probability
Yellow line: TOTAL2 dominance difference
ALERTS:
You can set up alerts on TradingView and receive notifications when signals appear!

***
### START TODAY:
1. Copy indicator code
2. Add to 1-hour US30 chart on TradingView

***
### FINAL WORDS:
This isn't get-rich-quick. This is build-wealth-steadily.
You follow the plan, take quality signals only, manage risk properly, you WILL make money. Not every trade wins, but the winners are bigger than losers (2:1 ratio).
Most traders fail because they:
- Trade too much (overtrading)
- Don't follow their plan (emotions)
- Risk too much per trade (blown account)
- Chase signals (FOMO)
- Don't journal (repeat mistakes)
You avoid those 5 things = you'll be ahead of 95% of traders.
**Start trading 6:30 PM IST. Let's go! 🚀**

Clean Market Structures This indicator marks out the highs and lows on the chart, allowing traders to easily follow the market structure and identify potential liquidity zones.
Highs are plotted when an up candle is followed by a down candle, marking the highest wick of that two-candle formation.
Lows are plotted when a down candle is followed by an up candle, marking the lowest wick of that two-candle formation.
These levels often act as liquidity pools, since liquidity typically rests above previous highs and below previous lows .
By highlighting these areas, the indicator helps traders visualize where price may seek liquidity and react, making it useful for structure-based and liquidity-driven trading strategies.
Highs and Lows MarkerIndicator Description – Highs and Lows Marker
This indicator identifies swing highs and swing lows based on a simple two-candle pattern structure:
High Formation (Swing High):
A High is marked when a bullish candle (Candle Up) is immediately followed by a bearish candle (Candle Down).
The High value is taken as the highest wick price between the two candles in this formation.
This represents a potential short-term resistance or turning point in the market.
Low Formation (Swing Low):
A Low is marked when a bearish candle (Candle Down) is immediately followed by a bullish candle (Candle Up).
The Low value is taken as the lowest wick price between the two candles in this formation.
This represents a potential short-term support or reversal area.

AMTD-GME Correlation Detector📈 AMTD-GME Clean Correlation Detector
This indicator tracks extraordinary price movements in AMTD Digital (HKD) and analyzes their correlation with GME price action. Research has shown these stocks often move together during significant market events, with GME sometimes following AMTD with a 1-3 bar delay.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator fetches AMTD data. It calculates multiple pump detection signals:
- Price Spike Detection: Triggers when price increases exceed threshold (default 10%)
- Volume Surge: Activates when volume exceeds average by multiplier (default 3x)
- Bollinger Band Breakout: Detects statistical anomalies with volume confirmation
- Momentum Surge: Combines RSI >70 with positive MACD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
VISUAL ELEMENTS EXPLAINED:
🔴 Main Line (Simple Mode):
- Red = Extreme pump (score >75)
- Orange = Moderate pump (score 50-75)
- Yellow = Weak pump (score 25-50)
- Gray = Normal conditions
📊 Orange Bars: Volume ratio multiplied by 10 for visibility. Shows when volume is unusually high.
🔵 Correlation Line (Correlation Mode):
- Shows real-time correlation coefficient (0-100%)
- Green >70% = Strong correlation
- Blue 40-70% = Moderate correlation
- Gray <40% = Weak/no correlation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TABLE INDICATORS:
Status Emojis:
🚀 SYNC! = Both pumping simultaneously
⏰ DELAYED = GME following AMTD pattern
⚠️ DIVERGE = Stocks moving opposite directions
📊 NORMAL = No significant pattern
Metrics Shown:
- AMTD/GME % = Current bar price change
- Corr = 30-bar correlation coefficient
- Lag = Detected delay between AMTD and GME moves
- Score = Combined pump strength (0-100)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LAG DETECTION:
The indicator analyzes if GME follows AMTD with a delay by checking correlations at different time offsets. When "Lag: 2 bars" appears, it means GME typically follows AMTD movements after 2 bars. This is crucial for timing entries.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SCORING SYSTEM:
Each stock gets 0-25 points for:
- Price spike detected (+25)
- Volume surge detected (+25)
- BB breakout detected (+25)
- Momentum confirmed (+25)
Combined Score = (AMTD + GME scores)/2 + correlation bonus
- Correlation >70% adds +20 bonus
- Correlation >50% adds +10 bonus
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ALERTS:
1. Synchronized Pump - Both stocks pumping together
2. Delayed Pump - GME following AMTD after typical lag
3. Divergence - Correlation breaking down
4. AMTD Leading - AMTD pumping, GME hasn't yet (watch for entry)
5. Extreme Score - Combined score >80 (major event)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
BEST PRACTICES:
1. Use on 1-5 minute charts for pump detection
2. Watch for AMTD pumps when correlation >70%
3. If lag detected, wait X bars after AMTD pump for GME entry
4. Divergence warnings suggest correlation breakdown
5. Volume sync (both orange bars) = highest confidence
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS TO ADJUST:
- Price Threshold: Lower for more sensitive detection
- Volume Multiplier: Lower to catch smaller volume spikes
- Correlation Period: Higher for longer-term correlation
- View Mode: Switch between Simple/Correlation/Advanced
Default settings optimized for intraday pump detection.
EMA100 Breakout by shubhThis indicator is a clean, price-action-based breakout system designed for disciplined trend trading on any timeframe — especially for Nifty and Bank Nifty spot, futures, and options charts.
It uses a single 100-period EMA to define trend direction and waits for decisive candle closes across the EMA to trigger potential entries.
The logic ensures only one active trade at a time, enforcing patience and clarity in decision-making.
⚙️ Core Logic
Buy Setup
A bullish candle closes above the 100 EMA while its open was below the EMA.
Entry occurs at candle close.
Stop-Loss (SL): Low of the signal candle.
Target (TP): 4 × the SL distance (Risk : Reward = 1 : 4).
Sell Setup
A bearish candle closes below the 100 EMA while its open was above the EMA.
Entry occurs at candle close.
Stop-Loss (SL): High of the signal candle.
Target (TP): 4 × the SL distance.
Trade Management
Only one trade may run at a time (either long or short).
New signals are ignored until the current position hits SL or TP.
Transparent labels show Entry, SL, and TP levels on chart.
Dotted lines visualize active Stop-Loss (red) and Target (green).
Exit markers:
✅ Target Hit
❌ Stop Loss Hit
🧠 Key Advantages
Simple and transparent trend-following logic.
Enforces disciplined “one-trade-at-a-time” behavior.
High risk-to-reward (1 : 4).
Works across timeframes — 5 min to Daily.
Ideal for intraday and positional setups.
📊 Suggested Use
Apply on Nifty / Bank Nifty spot or futures charts.
Works on any instrument with clear momentum swings.
Best confirmation when EMA 100 acts as dynamic support/resistance.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This script is for educational and research purposes only.
It is not financial advice or an invitation to trade.
Always backtest thoroughly and manage risk responsibly before applying in live markets.
iulifx EMAThe indicator is built on an 8-period moving average that closely follows price action.
When a candle closes completely beyond the moving average, it’s a signal to be cautious, as this may indicate a potential trend reversal.
If only the wick of the candle reaches the moving average and then gets absorbed, it can be interpreted as a retest, suggesting an opportunity to enter the market in the current trend direction.
Additionally, candle colors reflect market volume conditions:
Blue candles indicate an overbought zone, showing strong buying pressure — a potential start of a bullish move.
Black candles indicate an oversold zone, reflecting strong selling pressure.
If one of these colored candles breaks the moving average with strength and momentum, it strongly suggests that a trend reversal is likely underway.

## ⚠️ **8. COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID**
### **❌ Mistake #1: Trading Against Dashboard**
```
WRONG: Dashboard shows 🔴 BEARISH, but you take a long
CORRECT: Only take shorts when bearish, only longs when bullish
```
### **❌ Mistake #2: Ignoring Higher Timeframes**
```
WRONG: Current 5m looks good, ignored that 1H/4H/D are opposite
CORRECT: Check all HTFs before entry, need 2+ aligned
```
### **❌ Mistake #3: Trading in Neutral Zones**
```
WRONG: Taking trades when dashboard shows ⚪ NEUTRAL
CORRECT: Wait for clear bias (green or red), skip mixed signals
```
### **❌ Mistake #4: No Volume Confirmation**
```
WRONG: Entering without 💥 volume bubble
CORRECT: Wait for high volume institutional participation
```
### **❌ Mistake #5: Ignoring Market Structure**
```
WRONG: Longing into strong bearish structure
CORRECT: Wait for CHOCH (structure change) before reversing
```
### **❌ Mistake #6: Over-Trading**
```
WRONG: Taking every signal that appears
CORRECT: Wait for best setups with all confirmations aligned
```
### **❌ Mistake #7: Moving Stop Loss**
```
WRONG: Moving SL farther away when trade goes against you
CORRECT: Respect original SL, let it hit if wrong
```
### **❌ Mistake #8: Not Taking Partial Profits**
```
WRONG: Holding full position hoping for TP3
CORRECT: Scale out at TP1 (40%), TP2 (70%), let TP3 run
```

Price Movement Alert with Previous Close as ReferenceFunctionality of the Indicator
The "Price Movement Alarm with Previous Day Close as Reference" indicator is a tool that helps you monitor significant price levels based on the previous day's closing price. The indicator calculates both decline and rise thresholds in specified percentages to generate potential trade alerts. The lines on the chart represent these thresholds, and the corresponding labels show the exact percentage.
Usage Instructions:
Previous Day's Close: The indicator uses the previous trading day's close as the reference point.
Setting Decline and Rise Percentages: You can adjust the alarm levels for declines (e.g., 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%) and rises (e.g., 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%).
Lines and Labels: The indicator draws lines on the chart and displays labels that indicate the percentage of price movement.
Market Analysis: Analyze the price movements to make potential trading decisions.
Market in Equilibrium:
A market is in equilibrium when price movements remain within a narrow range (e.g., 0.5% to 1%). During this phase, volatility is low, and there are no significant price changes.
Market not in Equilibrium:
A market is not in equilibrium when price movements fall outside the narrow range (e.g., above 1%). During this phase, larger price movements can occur, often triggered by news or economic events.
