Candle Anatomy (feat. Dr. Rupward)# Candle Anatomy (feat. Dr. Rupward)
## Overview
This indicator dissects a single Higher Timeframe (HTF) candle and displays it separately on the right side of your chart with detailed anatomical analysis. Instead of cluttering your entire chart with analysis on every candle, this tool focuses on what matters most: understanding the structure and strength of the most recent HTF candle.
---
## Why I Built This
When analyzing price action, I often found myself manually calculating wick-to-body ratios, estimating retracement levels, and trying to gauge candle strength. This indicator automates that process and presents it in a clean, visual format.
The "Dr. Rupward" theme is just for fun – a lighthearted way to present technical analysis. Think of it as your chart's "health checkup." Don't take it too seriously, but do take the data seriously!
---
## How It Works
### 1. Candle Decomposition
The indicator breaks down the HTF candle into three components:
- **Upper Wick %** = (High - max(Open, Close)) / Range × 100
- **Body %** = |Close - Open| / Range × 100
- **Lower Wick %** = (min(Open, Close) - Low) / Range × 100
Where Range = High - Low
### 2. Strength Assessment
Based on body percentage:
- **Strong** (≥70%): High conviction move, trend likely to continue
- **Moderate** (40-69%): Normal price action
- **Weak** (<40%): Indecision, potential reversal or consolidation
### 3. Pressure Analysis
- **Upper Wick** indicates selling pressure (bulls pushed up, but sellers rejected)
- **Lower Wick** indicates buying pressure (bears pushed down, but buyers rejected)
Thresholds:
- ≥30%: Strong pressure
- 15-29%: Moderate pressure
- <15%: Weak pressure
### 4. Pattern Recognition
The indicator automatically detects:
| Pattern | Condition |
|---------|-----------|
| Doji | Body < 10% |
| Hammer | Lower wick ≥ 60%, Upper wick < 10%, Body < 35% |
| Shooting Star | Upper wick ≥ 60%, Lower wick < 10%, Body < 35% |
| Marubozu | Body ≥ 90% |
| Spinning Top | Body < 30%, Both wicks > 25% |
### 5. Fibonacci Levels
Displays key Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on the candle's range:
**Retracement:** 0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0
**Extension:** 1.272, 1.618, 2.0, 2.618
**Negative Extension:** -0.272, -0.618, -1.0
These levels help identify potential support/resistance if price retraces into or extends beyond the analyzed candle.
### 6. Comparison with Previous Candle
When enabled, displays the previous HTF candle (semi-transparent) alongside the current one. This allows you to:
- Compare range expansion/contraction
- Observe momentum shifts
- Identify continuation or reversal setups
---
## Settings Explained
### Display Settings
- **Analysis Timeframe**: The HTF candle to analyze (default: Daily)
- **Offset from Chart**: Distance from the last bar (default: 15)
- **Candle Width**: Visual width of the anatomy candle
- **Show Previous Candle**: Toggle comparison view
### Fibonacci Levels
- Toggle individual levels on/off based on your preference
- Retracement levels for pullback analysis
- Extension levels for target projection
### Diagnosis Panel
- Shows pattern name, strength assessment, and expected behavior
- Can be toggled off if you prefer minimal display
---
## Use Cases
1. **Swing Trading**: Analyze daily candle structure before entering on lower timeframes
2. **Trend Confirmation**: Strong body % with minimal upper wick = healthy trend
3. **Reversal Detection**: Hammer/Shooting Star patterns with high wick %
4. **Target Setting**: Use Fibonacci extensions for take-profit levels
---
## Notes
- This indicator is designed for analysis, not for generating buy/sell signals
- Works best on liquid markets with clean price action
- The "diagnosis" is algorithmic interpretation, not financial advice
- Combine with your own analysis and risk management
---
## About the Name
"Dr. Rupward" is a playful persona I created – combining "Right" + "Upward" (my trading philosophy) with a doctor theme because we're "diagnosing" candle health. It's meant to make technical analysis a bit more fun and approachable. Enjoy!

Intermarket Divergence (Futures vs Equity)Intermarket Divergence (Futures vs Equity)
This indicator detects intermarket divergence between a traded instrument (futures, CFD, or spot) and a related equity or ETF.
It highlights moments where price and its underlying market drivers disagree, often appearing before reversals or expansions.
🎯 What It Shows
Bullish divergence:
Price makes a lower low while the equity makes a higher low
Bearish divergence:
Price makes a higher high while the equity makes a lower high
Based on swing pivots, not candle noise
Designed for intraday context, not mechanical entries
✅ Recommended Use
XAUUSD (Gold) → GDX (default)
XAGUSD (Silver) → SIL
USOIL / WTI → XLE
(These guidelines are included directly in the indicator settings.)
🧭 How to Use
Apply on 15m–30m
Look for signals near key levels (PDH/PDL, Asia high/low, HTF structure)
Use price action for entries
Divergence is context, not a signal.
⚠️ Notes
Non-repainting
Signals are selective by design
Best during London & New York sessions

WHAT IS SUPPORT AND RESISTANT ?
Support and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis used to identify price levels on charts that are likely to act as barriers, preventing the price from moving in a certain direction.
Support:
Definition: Support refers to a price level at which an asset tends to stop falling because demand is strong enough to prevent further declines. It acts as a "floor" for the price, where buyers step in to buy the asset, causing the price to rebound or stabilize.
Example: If a stock is trading at $50 and repeatedly fails to drop below that level, $50 would be considered a support level.
Resistance:
Definition: Resistance is the opposite of support. It refers to a price level at which selling pressure is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further. It acts as a "ceiling," where sellers are more willing to sell, causing the price to reverse or consolidate.
Example: If the price of an asset repeatedly fails to rise above $100, $100 would be considered a resistance level.
In Practice:
Support and resistance levels are used by traders to make decisions about buying and selling. If the price approaches support, traders may see it as a potential buying opportunity. If the price approaches resistance, they may consider selling or shorting the asset.
If price breaks through a support or resistance level, it can signal a significant price movement. For example, a price moving above resistance may indicate an uptrend, while a price falling below support could indicate a downtrend.
These levels are not always exact and may vary slightly, often being identified as areas rather than precise lines on a chart. They are key tools for understanding market psychology and price behavior.
CVD Divergence Indicator.1.mmCumulative Volume Delta (CVD) – Line Version
This indicator displays Cumulative Volume Delta as a line, rather than traditional delta candles, to make order-flow divergence easier to identify at a glance.
CVD tracks the net difference between aggressive buying and aggressive selling. When price makes a new extreme but CVD fails to confirm, it can indicate that the move is being driven by positioning or profit-taking, rather than fresh initiative participation.
Divergence Concepts
Bearish Divergence:
Price makes a higher high while CVD forms a lower high → potential bearish reversal
Bullish Divergence:
Price makes a lower low while CVD forms a higher low → potential bullish reversal
Hidden Divergence (Trend Continuation)
Hidden Bullish:
Price makes a higher low while CVD makes a lower low → potential bullish continuation
Hidden Bearish:
Price makes a lower high while CVD makes a higher high → potential bearish continuation
Signal Behavior
Divergence signals are only generated after a divergence has fully formed.
No signals are plotted while a divergence is still developing.
Signals highlight areas of interest, not trade entries.
Usage Notes
Best Use Cases:
- Range highs / lows - VWAP interactions - Prior session highs or lows - Failed breakouts - Post-news exhaustion moves
This indicator can be applied across all timeframes.
CVD divergence should be used in conjunction with price structure, key levels, VWAP, and broader market context.
Important: CVD divergence is most effective in balanced or rotational market conditions.
In strong trending environments, price can continue to move despite persistent divergence.
This tool is not intended to be used as a standalone entry or exit system.
Hurst Intraday Cycles & FLDHurst Intraday Cycles & FLD: A Day Trader’s Guide
Overview
This indicator adapts the legendary market cycle theories of J.M. Hurst specifically for intraday day trading. While Hurst’s "Nominal Model" is traditionally applied to daily and weekly charts (the 20-day, 40-day, and 18-month cycles), this script applies the principle of Harmonicity to decompose those rhythms into the "Sub-Nominal" cycles that drive the trading day: the 80-minute and 40-minute rhythms.
What is the FLD (Future Line of Demarcation)?
The FLD is the core "signal generator" in Hurst’s toolset. It is the median price shifted forward in time by exactly half the length of the cycle you are tracking.
The Logic: If a cycle is bottoming, the price will cross above the FLD. If a cycle is peaking, the price will cross below it.
The Advantage: Unlike traditional moving averages that "lag" price, the FLD acts as a projected boundary. When price interacts with an FLD that is shifted into the "future," it provides a more reliable confirmation of a structural trend change.
Key Features
Multi-Cycle Tracking: Automatically tracks the Primary (80m) and Secondary (40m) intraday cycles.
Adaptive Timeframes: The script automatically calculates the bar-count for your cycles whether you are on a 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute chart.
Future Projections: Draws vertical dashed lines into the future to mark the expected "Time Windows" for the next cycle troughs (lows).
Trend Dashboard: A real-time status box indicating the current bias (Bullish/Bearish) and confirming your chart’s timeframe settings.
How to Trade with this Indicator
1. The FLD Cross (Entry Signal)
The most common way to use this script is to look for a Price/FLD Interaction.
Bullish Entry: Wait for the price candle to close above the blue (Primary) FLD line. This suggests the 80-minute cycle has bottomed.
Bearish Entry: Wait for the price candle to close below the blue FLD line. This suggests the 80-minute cycle has peaked.
2. Harmonic Nesting (High Probability)
A "Nested Low" occurs when multiple cycles bottom at the same time.
The Setup: Look for moments where the Price crosses both the Orange (40m) and Blue (80m) FLD lines simultaneously. This indicates a powerful surge in momentum.
3. Time Projections (Exits & Prep)
Use the vertical dashed lines to anticipate volatility.
If you are in a Long position and price is approaching a vertical "Projection Line," be prepared for a potential cycle trough (a dip or reversal).
These lines represent the "Rhythm" of the market; they are not exact price targets, but "Time Targets."
Recommended Settings
For standard equity markets (6.5-hour sessions), we recommend:
Primary: 80 Minutes
Secondary: 40 Minutes
Best Charts: 1-minute, 2-minute, or 5-minute.
Why this works
Markets are not random; they are governed by human behavior, which repeats in rhythmic waves. By using Hurst's mathematical approach to shift price data, we can filter out market "noise" and focus on the underlying structural vibrations of the trading day.
Disclaimer: No indicator is a crystal ball. Always use proper risk management and wait for candle closes to confirm FLD breaks.
USS SMC Basic + MagicBoxThis is the indicator which carries 2 different functionality in 1 indicator, basic but important factor of "Smart Money Concept" and "Sideway Detection" with additional features, which is rare to find.
Let's talk about Smart Money Concept (SMC) first.
For SMC, I have enabled BoS & CHoCH detection not only for current chart timeframe but also for higher timeframe simultaneously. You can choose higher timeframe according to you taste. For e.g. if you are trading on 15m and also want to check BoS & CHoCH structure on 1H time frame, you can do it by selecting 1 Hour for HTF Timeframe in INPUTS section. If you want you can enable/disable HTF structure for BoS & CHoCH. You can even customise colors. So all parameters are fully customizable. So with the help of this indicator you don't have to put efforts to identify market structure.
Now let's discuss about MagicBox (Sideways Detection) .
It will draw a rectangle box whenever Sideway market appear. So you don't have to put hard efforts to identify sideway market. This indicator do it for you automatically. Up/Down both breakout from Box is displayed by different colored candle to notice easily. Whenever there will be a successful retest of the box, candle will get displayed with Yellow color. You can choose color of your choice for all three candles (Up Break, Down Break & Retest Candle). Candles will always take the reference of most recent rectangle box.
I hope you will enjoy it.

Fed Balance Sheet (Candles)Fed Balance Sheet (Candles) - TradingView Description
📊 OVERVIEW
Fed Balance Sheet (Candles) transforms the Federal Reserve's total assets into an intuitive candlestick visualization, allowing you to track monetary policy changes with the same visual language you use for price action.
This indicator pulls real-time data directly from FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) and displays the Total Assets of All Federal Reserve Banks as dynamic candles on your chart, making it effortless to correlate central bank liquidity with market movements.
🎯 WHY THIS MATTERS
The Federal Reserve's balance sheet is one of the most powerful leading indicators in global markets. When the Fed expands its balance sheet (Quantitative Easing), it injects liquidity into the financial system, historically correlating with:
Rising asset prices (stocks, crypto, commodities)
Lower volatility
Risk-on sentiment
Currency devaluation
When the Fed contracts its balance sheet (Quantitative Tightening), liquidity drains from markets, often leading to:
Asset price pressure
Increased volatility
Risk-off sentiment
Dollar strength
By visualizing this as candles, you can instantly see:
The pace of change (candle size)
The direction (green = expansion, red = contraction)
Acceleration or deceleration (consecutive candles in same direction)
Pivots in monetary policy (color changes from green to red or vice versa)
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
Data Source
Source: Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED)
Metric: Total Assets of All Federal Reserve Banks
Unit: Displayed in Trillions of USD for easy reading
Frequency: Weekly updates (every Wednesday)
Candlestick Construction
Since balance sheet data is reported as a single number each week (not traditional open-high-low-close), this indicator creates candles by comparing each period to the previous one:
Open = Last week's balance sheet value
Close = This week's balance sheet value
High = The higher of the two values
Low = The lower of the two values
This captures directional movement and magnitude of change, making it intuitive for traders accustomed to candlestick analysis.
Color Scheme
🟢 GREEN CANDLES (Expanding Balance Sheet)
When this week's value is higher than last week's
Interpretation: Fed is adding liquidity (Quantitative Easing)
Historically bullish for risk assets
🔴 RED CANDLES (Contracting Balance Sheet)
When this week's value is lower than last week's
Interpretation: Fed is removing liquidity (Quantitative Tightening)
Historically bearish or neutral for risk assets
Value Label
A floating label displays the current balance sheet value in trillions (e.g., "$8.75T") so you always know the exact figure at a glance.
📈 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
1. Market Regime Identification
Strings of green candles = Liquidity-driven bull markets
Strings of red candles = Tightening-induced bear markets or corrections
Color transitions = Potential market inflection points
2. Correlation Analysis
Overlay on stock indices (SPY, QQQ, IWM)
Overlay on crypto (BTC, ETH)
Overlay on commodities (Gold, Silver)
Observe how asset prices react to Fed liquidity changes in real-time
3. Macro Timing
Large green candles = Aggressive easing (crisis response)
Large red candles = Aggressive tightening (inflation fighting)
Small candles = Neutral policy (Fed on hold)
4. Risk Management
Shift portfolio allocation based on liquidity environment
Reduce leverage during red candle trends
Increase exposure during green candle trends
Use as confirmation for other technical signals
5. Multi-Timeframe Context
Daily charts: See how daily price action relates to weekly Fed data
Weekly charts: Perfect alignment with data release frequency
Monthly charts: Visualize long-term monetary cycles spanning years
⚙️ SETTINGS
Zero configuration needed. Simply add the indicator to any chart and it works immediately.
The indicator automatically:
Overlays on your main chart
Uses the left price scale (won't interfere with asset prices)
Updates with the latest Fed data
Displays values in trillions for clean readability
🎨 VISUAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The indicator uses semi-transparent candle bodies with vibrant borders to maintain visibility without obscuring your price action. The color scheme follows universal chart conventions where green represents growth/expansion and red represents decline/contraction.
It's designed to blend seamlessly into any chart theme while providing immediate visual clarity about the Fed's monetary stance.
📚 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Data Availability
Historical data available from December 2002 (over 20 years of Fed policy)
Updates every Wednesday (Federal Reserve's reporting schedule)
Typically published with a 1-week lag
How the Data Appears
On weekdays: Shows the most recent Wednesday's data
On weekends: Shows Friday's data (which is the prior Wednesday's figure)
Updates automatically when new data is released
Scale Considerations
The Fed's balance sheet is measured in trillions, while most assets are priced much lower. The indicator uses the left price scale by default to avoid conflicts with your main asset's price scale. You can easily move it to a separate pane if you prefer.
🧠 INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Historical QE Phases (Green Candles)
2008-2014: Financial Crisis Response
The Fed's balance sheet expanded from under $1T to ~$4.5T to stabilize markets after the mortgage crisis.
2020: COVID-19 Response
Rapid expansion to ~$7T as the Fed stepped in during pandemic lockdowns.
2020-2022: Extended Support
Balance sheet reached historic peak of ~$9T.
Historical QT Phases (Red Candles)
2017-2019: First Modern QT Attempt
The Fed tried to normalize its balance sheet, reducing it from ~$4.5T to ~$3.8T before pivoting.
2022-Present: Inflation-Fighting QT
The Fed began shrinking its balance sheet to combat inflation, letting bonds mature without replacement.
Key Insights
Size matters, but rate of change matters MORE.
A $9T balance sheet growing slowly has different implications than a $5T balance sheet growing rapidly.
Watch for acceleration.
Increasingly large candles (up or down) signal a policy shift that markets will notice.
Plateaus mean "wait and see."
Tiny candles indicate the Fed is holding steady and watching economic data.
Reversals are major events.
When candles switch from green to red (or vice versa), the Fed has changed course—these are critical market turning points.
🎓 EDUCATIONAL VALUE
This indicator helps you understand:
The mechanics of monetary policy through visual learning
The lag between Fed actions and market reactions by observing temporal correlation
The scale of modern central banking (trillions put into perspective)
The relationship between liquidity and asset prices (cause and effect in action)
Many traders talk about "don't fight the Fed" but never actually track what the Fed is doing. Now you can see it as clearly as you see price action.
🔗 RELATED CONCEPTS
For comprehensive macro analysis, consider also tracking:
Fed Funds Rate (short-term interest rates)
M2 Money Supply (broader measure of money in circulation)
Treasury Yield Curves (bond market expectations)
Dollar Index (DXY) (currency strength)
VIX (market fear/volatility)
The Fed's balance sheet is just one piece of the puzzle, but it's arguably the most important one for understanding liquidity conditions.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER
This indicator displays publicly available economic data from the Federal Reserve. It is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
Important considerations:
Past monetary policy does not guarantee future market outcomes
Correlation does not equal causation
Asset prices are influenced by many factors beyond Fed liquidity
Always use proper risk management
Consult with qualified financial professionals before making investment decisions
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone.
📜 VERSION HISTORY

💡 WHY CANDLES?
You might wonder: "Why show the Fed's balance sheet as candles instead of a line?"
Because candles tell stories that lines can't.
A line shows you where we are
Candles show you how we got here, how fast we're moving, and what momentum looks like
Candles make the Fed's actions feel immediate and tangible
Candles connect macro data to the chart language you already speak
When you see three big green candles in a row on the Fed balance sheet while your crypto or stock portfolio is rallying, you feel the connection. When you see the candles turn red and shrink, you understand the headwinds forming.
It transforms dry economic data into actionable market intelligence.

BBQ Levels - Options Spread Diversification GridOverview
BBQ Levels (also known as "The Grill") is a price-level tracking indicator designed for options traders who use iron condors, put credit spreads, or other spread strategies. It divides the price chart into horizontal zones and tracks which "level" the market currently occupies, helping traders diversify their positions across different price ranges rather than concentrating risk at a single strike.
The indicator uses a playful Star Wars naming convention: upward-trending levels are called "Jedi Levels" (JL) and downward-trending levels are called "Sith Levels" (SL). This terminology originated from a trading mentor who found it easier to remember than directional abbreviations.
How It Works
Level Grid System
The indicator creates a grid of horizontal price levels based on your chosen spacing (default: 10 points). Each level represents a price zone where you might consider placing a spread trade.
Trend State Tracking
The indicator operates in one of two modes:
Jedi Mode (Bullish): When price is advancing upward through levels. Each time price breaks above the current level's top boundary, the indicator advances to the next Jedi Level (JL1 to JL2 to JL3, etc.).
Sith Mode (Bearish): When price is declining through levels. Each time price breaks below the current level's bottom boundary, the indicator advances to the next Sith Level (SL1 to SL2 to SL3, etc.).
Level Transitions
Transitions between modes occur when price reverses and touches the opposing level boundary. The indicator uses high/low touches (not closes) to determine level breaks, providing faster signals.
Trade Visualization Boxes
You can overlay up to 10 colored rectangles representing your actual options positions. Each box shows:
- Opening date (when you entered the trade)
- Expiration date (when the options expire)
- Upper and lower strikes (defining your spread's range)
- Custom label (e.g., "Jan IC" or "Feb Put Spread")
This lets you see at a glance which price zones you have covered and where gaps exist in your "grill."
Practical Application
Vertical Diversification Strategy
The core idea is to diversify iron condors across multiple price levels rather than placing all trades at the current market price:
When market reaches extended Jedi Levels (JL3 or higher): Consider reducing delta on new put credit spreads, as the market may be overextended to the upside.
When market reaches extended Sith Levels (SL3 or higher): Consider increasing delta on new positions, anticipating potential mean reversion.
Coverage Visualization
By drawing boxes for your active positions, you can see which price ranges are "protected" by existing spreads and identify gaps where additional positions might provide better coverage.
Settings Guide
Main Settings
Level Spacing - Distance between horizontal levels in price points. Default is 10. For SPY, 10 points creates meaningful zones; for SPX, consider 50-100 points.
Trade Boxes (1-10)
Each trade slot has these settings:
Show Trade - Toggle visibility of this position box
Label - Custom name for the trade (e.g., "Jan 17 IC")
Opening Date - When you entered the position
Expiration Date - Options expiration date
Upper Strike - Top of your spread range
Lower Strike - Bottom of your spread range
Visual Elements
Green labels (JL1, JL2...) - Mark upward level progressions
Red labels (SL1, SL2...) - Mark downward level progressions
Blue labels - Mark trend reversal points (JL1 after Sith mode, SL1 after Jedi mode)
Dashed blue grid lines - Show level boundaries extending into the future
Colored boxes - Your configured trade positions
Status table (top right) - Current price, level, and trend direction
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard support/resistance indicators, BBQ Levels is specifically designed for options spread traders. It provides:
A systematic framework for diversifying positions across price levels
Visual overlay of actual trade positions against the level grid
State-based tracking that distinguishes between bullish and bearish market phases
Actionable context for adjusting spread deltas based on market extension
Best Used On
SPY, SPX, or other index products where you trade iron condors
Daily or 4-hour timeframes for position planning
Lower timeframes (1H, 15m) for timing entries within levels
Limitations
This indicator does not predict price direction - it only tracks which level price currently occupies
The level spacing is fixed and does not adapt to volatility
Trade boxes are manual inputs - you must update them as you open/close positions
Level progression rules may generate frequent signals during choppy, range-bound markets
This is a visualization and organizational tool, not a trading signal generator
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and organizational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors
Past performance does not guarantee future results
Iron condors and credit spreads have defined risk but can still result in significant losses
Always conduct your own research and consider consulting a financial professional

Spread Dashboard捕捉异常价差,一秒定位偏离源头
🧭 简介
价差检测器是一款“多交易源报价对比 + 价差强弱量化”的监控工具:自动汇总同一标的在多个交易所/经纪商的报价,计算当前价差在历史分布中的百分位位置,帮你快速判断“这次拉开到底是不是异常”。右上角看板用于横向对比各交易源报价;副图柱状图用于观察价差强弱与分级结果。
✨ 亮点
- 📊 一眼识别异常价差 :副图柱状图直观展示价差大小,并用百分位阈值标记“正常 / 偏高 / 异常”。
- 🧾 看板聚焦关键信息 :右上角表格汇总各交易源最新价、均价;价格列采用以 0 为中心的红绿发散渐变,偏离方向与幅度一眼看懂。
- ⚠️ 成交量不误导 :最新量/均量明确标注“单位不统一”,不参与排序;最新量仅做“本交易源内部:最新量 vs 均量”的放量/缩量提示,避免跨交易源错误比较。
✅ 使用方法(只看副图 + 右上角看板)
- 📉 副图怎么读 :柱子越高=价差越大;当柱子达到你设置的“偏高/异常”阈值,说明价差处于历史高位,值得重点关注。
- 🟩🟥 看板怎么读 :先看“最新价/均价”列颜色:偏绿=该交易源报价高于图表标的,偏红=低于图表标的;颜色越深代表偏离越大。
- 🔊 成交量怎么读 :只看同一行的放量/缩量提示(单位不统一,不做交易所之间的量大小比较)。
🧭 Overview
Spread Detector is a multi-venue pricing monitor that helps you spot abnormal cross-exchange / broker spreads at a glance. It aggregates quotes for the same symbol from multiple sources and ranks the current spread within its historical distribution (percentile). You get a clean dashboard in the top-right and a spread histogram in the sub-chart for fast decision-making.
✨ Highlights
- 📊 Percentile-based spread grading : quickly labels the current spread as Normal / High / Unusual based on your thresholds.
- 🧾 Top-right dashboard for rapid comparison : shows each venue’s Last Price & Avg Price; price cells use a 0-centered red/green diverging gradient to visualize deviation vs the chart symbol.
- 🔊 Volume without misconceptions : Last Volume / Avg Volume are explicitly “NOT unit-unified” (different venues may use different volume definitions). Volume is not sortable . The Last Volume cell only reflects each venue’s own last-vs-average activity (volume expansion/contraction), not cross-venue size comparison.
✅ How to Read (Sub-chart + Top-right Dashboard)
- 📉 Sub-chart (histogram) : taller bars = wider spread. When it reaches your High/Unusual percentile thresholds, it signals the spread is historically elevated.
- 🟩🟥 Dashboard prices : green = that venue’s price is above the chart symbol, red = below; darker = larger deviation.
- 🔥 Dashboard volume : use it within the same row only (last vs avg for that venue). Do not compare volume numbers across venues due to unit differences.
Direction Bias [ Scalping-Algo ]======================================================================
// 📊 Direction Bias
// ======================================================================
//
// 🎯 What this indicator does:
// This indicator colors your candles based on the current market bias.
// 🟢 Green bars = bullish momentum
// 🔴 Red bars = bearish momentum
// ⚪ Gray bars = choppy or undecided market
//
// ⚙️ How it works:
// It uses a range filter that adapts to volatility. When price pushes
// above the filter and keeps moving up, you get green bars. When price
// drops below and continues down, you get red bars. The filter smooths
// out the noise so you don't get whipsawed on every little move.
//
// 📈 How to trade with it:
//
// 1️⃣ Follow the color
// 🟢 Green bars = look for longs only
// 🔴 Red bars = look for shorts only
// ⚪ Gray bars = stay out or reduce size
//
// 2️⃣ Entry timing
// ✅ Wait for color change from gray to green/red
// ✅ Enter on pullbacks while color stays the same
// ❌ Don't chase if you're late to the move
//
// 3️⃣ Exit signals
// 💡 When bars turn gray, tighten your stop or take profits
// 🔄 Color flip to opposite = close the trade
//
// 4️⃣ Best practices
// ⏱️ Works best on 1m to 15m charts for scalping
// 📍 Use with support/resistance levels for better entries
// 🚫 Don't trade against the color, even if you "feel" a reversal
// 📊 Combine with volume for confirmation
//
// 🔧 Settings:
// • Period: Higher = smoother but slower reaction (default 10)
// • Multiplier: Higher = less sensitive to small moves (default 4.0)
// • Adjust based on the asset you're trading
//
// 🔔 Alerts:
// Set alerts for "Bull" and "Bear" to get notified when bias changes.
Moving Average Ribbon(AI mode,high volume,strat base S/R filter)# AI-Powered Moving Average Ribbon & Smart Filters
## Overview
This script presents a next-generation approach to trend following by combining adaptive "AI" logic with advanced price action and volume filtering. Unlike traditional indicators that rely on static settings, the **AI Mode** in this script dynamically self-adjusts its parameters in real-time to align with the changing market conditions.
## Key Features
### 🧠 AI Mode (Adaptive Intelligence)
The core of this indicator is the AI engine. When enabled, it overrides manual settings and analyzes the market structure across higher timeframes.
- **Dynamic Sensitivity:** It automatically tightens the Moving Average ribbon during strong trends to capture early entries and widens it during noise/chop to reduce false signals.
- **Trend & Volatility Analysis:** The algorithm continuously monitors trend strength and volatility, adjusting the number of MA lines and their spacing (step) to provide the most relevant visual support/resistance zones.
### 🛡️ Smart Signal Filtering
To further enhance reliability, the script incorporates two powerful filtering layers. Signals are only generated when these confluence factors align:
1. **High Volume filter:** Identifies critical support and resistance levels based on significant volume anomalies. The script visualizes these zones with dynamic concentric circles, helping you see where "smart money" has previously interacted.
2. **Strat S/R:** Utilizes price action logic (Inside/Outside bars) to pinpoint structural pivots. This ensures that trades are taken in alignment with key market structure levels.
### 📊 Visual Enhancements
- **Dynamic Ribbon:** Color-coded for Bullish (Green), Bearish (Red), and Choppy (Gray) market states.
- **Chop Zone:** Visually highlights periods of consolidation, helping you stay out of low-probability environments.
- **Signal Labels:** Clear BUY and SELL labels appear only when the Ribbon flips *and* all selected filters are satisfied.
## Usage
- **AI Toggle:** Switch "AI Mode" ON in the settings to let the script handle the tuning.
- **Manual Control:** Disable AI Mode to use your preferred Moving Average Type (SMA, EMA, HMA, etc.) and custom lengths.
- **Filter Customization:** You can independently toggle the HVP and Strat filters to suit your trading style.
