GME Warrant Tracker [theUltimator5]The GME Warrant Tracker was designed to be used for GME warrants tracking. The theory behind this indicator is that warrants are priced similarly to options and generally follow the same Greeks. With that assumption, we can break down the price of the warrants by using known Greeks to estimate either the theoretical price, or even estimate Implied Volatility (IV).
The base settings for this indicator plot the calculated IV, the theoretical price (there are multiple methods of calculation which I will discuss later) and the current warrant price.
You can toggle on or off all of these plots to display only what you want to track.
For example, you can simply track the difference between the theoretical price and the current price to see if warrants are trading at a premium or a discount vs what the indicator calculates it to be.
Calculating implied volatility is extremely difficult and must be approximated.
The theoretical warrant price produced by this indicator depends primarily on the volatility input (σ) used in the Black–Scholes pricing model.
This script supports five distinct methods for approximating σ, each extracting different information from the market.
1) Close-to-Close Historical Volatility
Close-to-Close computes the standard deviation of daily close-to-close returns and uses a lookback window scaled to time-to-expiry. As the expiration approaches, the lookback window tightens, giving a more responsive volatility approximation relative to time-to-expiry.
This option produces conservative approximations for volatility, and may lag actual volatility intraday.
2) Parkinson High-Low Volatility
Parkinson High-Low volatility uses daily high and low prices to calculate intraday trading range for a more responsive estimation to volatility. It ignores opening and close gaps, so overnight volatility is not accounted for.
This option produces higher theoretical volatility during choppy price action and can over estimate actual volatility.
3) Garman–Klass Volatility
Garman–Klass volatility is a way to estimate how much price is fluctuating by using the open, high, low, and close for each period. Because it draws on multiple intraperiod price points (not just the range or close-to-close moves), it typically produces a tighter, more informative volatility estimate than simpler approaches. It’s often most helpful when gaps occur and when the open and close carry meaningful information about the session’s trading.
4)Yang–Zhang Volatility
The Yang–Zhang volatility estimator is designed to account for both opening jumps and price drift. It estimates volatility by combining overnight (close-to-open) variance, intraday (open-to-close) variance, and a weighted Rogers–Satchell component using OHLC data, often yielding a more robust measure than simpler close-to-close style estimators.
5) Option price
By default, the indicator uses the call option strike dated closest to the warrant expiration date. Since the Greeks for both the warrants and the
options are assumed to be equivalent with a minor difference in theta (time-to-expiry), the theoretical price of the warrants closely matches the trade price of the call strike chosen.
There is a table that can be enabled (off by default because it is large and fills entire screen on mobile) which shows all the configuration settings and Greeks.
You can also manually adjust the "dilution" factor for the warrants, which shifts the number of active warrants and moves the count into the shares outstanding for the underlying (GME). The reason for this is that as warrants get exercised, the total quantity of warrants in circulation decreases and the the total quantity of shares outstanding increases.
Since this indicator was built around the single warrant, ticker NYSE: GME/W, it is only meant to be used with NYSE:GME. Any other ticker will not work properly with this indicator.

Adaptive Trend-Based Fib Extension + TrendlinesThis advanced analysis tool is designed to take the guesswork out of Fibonacci trading. By combining Adaptive Fibonacci Extensions with multi-method Pivot Detection, Dynamic Trendlines, and Horizontal Support/Resistance, this indicator provides a comprehensive roadmap for any market trend.
Learn volume trading - @pricevolumetraders
Key Features
Adaptive Fibonacci Engine: Unlike static tools, this indicator uses an ATR-based adaptive factor to adjust extension levels according to current market volatility.
Smart Trend Detection: Automatically identifies trend direction using EMA cross-overs or Higher High/Higher Low sequences to determine whether to plot Bullish or Bearish extensions.
Multi-Method Pivots: Choose from six different pivot detection methods, including Volume-Based, Fractal, ATR-Based, and Long Wick detection, to suit your specific trading style.
Automated Trendlines & S/R: High-probability diagonal trendlines and horizontal S/R levels are drawn only when they meet a minimum "touch" requirement and volume confirmation.
Institutional Zones: Highlights the "Golden Zone" between the 127.2% and 161.8% extension levels, where trends often reach exhaustion or find major targets.
How to Use
Trend Alignment: Use the built-in Dashboard to quickly identify the current trend (Bull/Bear) and RSI momentum.
The 3-Point Setup: The indicator automatically finds Point 1 (Trend Start), Point 2 (Impulse End), and Point 3 (Retracement/Last Touch) to project future price targets.
Entry Confirmation: Look for price action near the 61.8% or 78.6% Retracement levels for high-probability entries in the direction of the trend.
Targeting: Use the extension levels (100%, 127.2%, 161.8%) as your primary Take Profit zones.
Confluence: The strongest setups occur when a Fibonacci level aligns perfectly with a Horizontal S/R line or a Diagonal Trendline.
Technical Settings
Pivot Settings: Adjust 'Left' and 'Right' bars to change the sensitivity of swing high/low detection.
Fib Timeframe: You can anchor Fibonacci levels to a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour levels) while trading on a lower timeframe (e.g., 5-minute).
Volume Multiplier: Filter for horizontal levels that were formed with significant institutional volume.
Disclaimer: Trading involves significant risk. This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only and should be used in conjunction with a complete trading plan.
Multi-Factor Long Bias ToolThis indicator is designed to help identify higher‑probability long opportunities by combining trend, momentum, and participation into a single visual tool. It runs best on a 1‑hour chart and highlights periods when several bullish conditions align.
What the tool does
Measures short‑term trend and momentum with a fast MACD, looking for instances where MACD is above its signal line, above zero, and showing positive histogram.
Uses RSI as an oscillator filter, favoring conditions that are neither oversold nor overbought, but in a healthy momentum zone.
Confirms participation with a daily volume check, requiring current daily volume to be at or above a configurable multiple of its 20‑day average.
Optionally incorporates short‑interest (via a manual input) so you can require a minimum short percentage when seeking squeeze‑style long setups.
How signals are shown
When MACD, RSI, volume, and optional short‑interest all agree, the chart background turns softly green to show a “long bias” environment.
A triangle‑up marker (“LONG”) appears below price when the long bias is active and the “Focus on Longs Only” option is enabled.
A separate panel can display MACD, its signal line, histogram, and RSI together, with a toggle to show or hide this pane to keep charts clean.
Intended use
Helps discretionary traders quickly see when multiple conditions favor looking for long entries, rather than acting on a single indicator in isolation.
Works as a bias and timing aid; actual entries and exits are meant to be refined with your own levels, risk management, and higher‑timeframe context.
Parameters for MACD, RSI, volume threshold, and short‑interest are fully adjustable so the tool can be tuned to different markets, timeframes, and styles.
As always, none of this is investment or financial advice. Please do your own due diligence and research.
Intraday Options/Futures Naked By TradeEarnIntraday Momentum Strategy (Futures & Options)
Description: This is a specialized Intraday Momentum system designed for Indian Indices Nifty, BankNifty, FinNifty, Sensex and Crude Oil. It is engineered to simplify the automation process by standardizing quantity management for single-leg execution via third-party bridges.
Originality & Utility: Unlike standard momentum strategies, this script solves the complexity of position sizing across different asset classes. It features a custom "Smart Quantity" engine that automatically differentiates between Futures (Raw Quantity) and Index Options (Lot Multipliers), allowing traders to switch instruments without manually calculating order sizes.
Key Features:
Dual Mode: Supports both Futures (Long/Short) and Options Buying (Long CE / Long PE).
Smart Quantity Logic:
Futures/Crude: Inputs are treated as raw quantity (e.g., 1 Lot = 1 Qty).
Index Options: Inputs are automatically multiplied by the standard market lot size (e.g., 1 Lot Nifty = 25 Qty).
Rupee-Based Risk: Target, Stop Loss, and Trailing SL are defined in absolute Rupees (INR) rather than percentages, offering precise P&L control.
Choppiness Filter: Combines RSI and ADX to filter out low-volatility ranges.
Entry Logic:
Buy Signal: Green Impulse Candle + RSI > 55 + ADX > 20
Sell Signal: Red Impulse Candle + RSI < 45 + ADX > 20
Strategy Settings & Backtesting:
Commission: The strategy is backtested with a commission of ₹20 per order to reflect realistic net P&L.
Slippage: Users should account for realistic slippage in live trading, which is not factored into the script's hard values.

AI Intraday Astra by Pooja v27📘 AI Intraday Astra v27
Invite-Only Intraday Indicator for Structured Option Trading
🔍 Overview
AI Intraday Astra v27 is a closed-source intraday trading indicator designed for rule-based option trading.
The script is built around signal validation and rejection, not signal frequency.
Instead of relying on a single indicator or basic crossovers, the system uses a layered decision framework where momentum, volatility, trend bias, and market structure must align on the same confirmed candle before a signal is produced.
This approach helps reduce false entries that commonly occur in noisy or low-energy intraday conditions.
🧠 Core Architecture (How the script works)
1️⃣ Dual RSI Engine (Independent Buy & Sell Logic)
The script uses two fully independent RSI + RSI-MA engines:
One engine dedicated to buy-side conditions
One engine dedicated to sell-side conditions
Each engine maintains its own:
RSI calculation and smoothing
RSI-MA distance validation
Directional slope evaluation
Signal gap control
Reset state tracking
This separation avoids mixed signals and allows buy and sell logic to behave independently instead of sharing a single oscillator state.
2️⃣ Momentum Validation (Beyond simple crossovers)
RSI signals are evaluated only when:
RSI crosses its moving average
The distance between RSI and RSI-MA exceeds a minimum threshold
Optional directional slope confirms momentum expansion
This prevents weak, flat, or low-energy RSI crosses from generating signals.
3️⃣ Volatility & Market Energy Gate
Before any signal is allowed, the script evaluates:
ADX to confirm directional strength
ATR relative to price to confirm sufficient intraday volatility
If market energy is below defined thresholds, signals are automatically blocked.
4️⃣ Trend Bias & Mean-Price Alignment
Signals must align with:
EMA-based trend bias
VWAP position (buy above / sell below)
These act as directional filters to avoid counter-trend or mean-reversion entries during trending phases.
5️⃣ Trendline-Based Market Structure Filtering
The script includes an internal dynamic trendline module derived from swing highs and swing lows.
Key characteristics:
Swing-based trend detection with configurable sensitivity
Slope calculation based on ATR, Standard Deviation, or Linear Regression
Extended trendlines projected forward for price interaction
Optional use of trendlines as signal filters, not breakout triggers
When enabled, signals are allowed only when price interacts near relevant structural levels, helping avoid entries made far from market structure or during overextended moves.
6️⃣ Pivot Points & Support-Resistance Context
The script integrates Traditional Pivot Points for structural reference.
Features include:
Multi-timeframe pivot calculation (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and higher)
Optional price labels
Controlled historical plotting to keep charts uncluttered
Pivot levels are not used to generate signals directly.
They serve as contextual support and resistance zones for assessing reactions, potential targets, or rejection areas alongside indicator signals.
7️⃣ Signal Control, Gaps & Reset Logic
To prevent over-trading and repeated entries:
Signals trigger only on confirmed candle close
Minimum bar gaps are enforced between same-side signals
After a signal, price must break and re-accept across EMA before another same-side entry is allowed
This reset mechanism helps control trade clustering during strong trends.
8️⃣ Session-Based Signal Management
The script can optionally:
Disable signals during selected intraday session windows
Resume normal logic once the session window ends
This helps avoid execution during high-noise or unstable market phases.
📊 Visual Components (Optional)
Users can enable or disable:
EMA
VWAP
Supertrend
Trendlines
Pivot levels
Visual elements are assistive only and do not alter the core signal logic.
🔔 Alerts
BUY / SELL alerts trigger only on final confirmed signals
Compatible with TradingView alerts and webhook-based automation
No intrabar or repainting behavior
👤 Intended Use
This script is designed for traders who:
Trade intraday options
Prefer confirmation-driven, rule-based entries
Focus on signal quality rather than quantity
Apply their own execution and risk-management rules
🔒 Why Invite-Only?
The script uses state-based logic, independent buy/sell engines, layered filtering, and reset mechanisms that go beyond standard indicator combinations.
Source access is restricted to protect the implementation of these internal processes.

### Signal Confirmation Logic
**Why 7 layers?** Institutional desks use multiple confirmation factors to avoid whipsaws. Each layer filters out noise:
**Layer 1 - Whale Threshold (2.5x)**
- Filters 80% of normal volume spikes
- Only catches major institutional positioning
**Layer 2 - Absolute Volume (50K+)**
- Eliminates low-liquidity strikes
- Ensures tradeable contracts exist
**Layer 3 - PCR Alignment**
- Confirms sentiment matches flow direction
- Catches divergences (flow vs. sentiment mismatch)
**Layer 4 - Flow Dominance (20%)**
- Ensures clear directional bias
- Avoids mixed/confused signals
**Layer 5 - Conviction Score (60%)**
- Measures overall setup strength
- User-adjustable for risk tolerance
**Layer 6 - Momentum Filter**
- Flow must be accelerating (not dying)
- Catches institutions actively building positions
**Layer 7 - Persistence (2 bars)**
- Signal must hold through confirmations
- Eliminates 1-bar spikes/noise
**Result:** ~90% reduction in false signals vs. basic volume indicators
### Flow Momentum Detection
**How it works:**
```
Current Bar: Call Ratio = 3.2x
Previous Bar: Call Ratio = 2.7x
Change: +0.5x → ↗ ACCELERATING (Bullish)
vs.
Current Bar: Call Ratio = 2.8x
Previous Bar: Call Ratio = 3.1x
Change: -0.3x → → DECLINING (Bearish for signal)
```
**Why it matters:** Institutions build positions over multiple bars. Accelerating flow = active accumulation. Declining flow = distribution or false alarm.
### PCR Momentum Analysis
**PCR Rising (+0.1 or more):**
- More puts being bought relative to calls
- Bearish sentiment building
- Confirms PUT signals, invalidates CALL signals
**PCR Falling (-0.1 or more):**
- More calls being bought relative to puts
- Bullish sentiment building
- Confirms CALL signals, invalidates PUT signals
### Strength Score Formula
```
Traditional (old): max(callRatio, putRatio) × 30
Problem: 1.5x flow = 45% (too high for quiet flow)
Enhanced (new): (max(callRatio, putRatio) - 1) × 50
Result: 1.5x flow = 25% (accurate)
2.5x flow = 75% (whale = high conviction)
3.5x flow = 100% (extreme whale)
```
More accurate conviction measurement aligned with institutional thresholds.

### Live Trading Workflow
**Pre-Market (9:00-9:15 AM):**
1. Update **Expiry** if new week
2. Set **ATM Strike** based on pre-open NIFTY
3. Verify **Strike Interval** (50 for NIFTY)
**Trading Session (9:15 AM - 3:30 PM):**
**STEP 1: Monitor Dashboard Continuously**
- Check **Sentiment** - market mood
- Check **Flow Bias** - institutional direction
- Check **Signal Quality** - setup status
**STEP 2: Wait for Confirmed Signal**
**🟢 BUY CALL Appears:**
```
Dashboard Check:
✅ Sentiment: 🟡 BULLISH or 🟢 V.BULL
✅ Flow Bias: CALL BIAS
✅ Call Flow: 🐋 WHALE (3.2x↗)
✅ Signal Quality: ✅ CONFIRMED (2/2)
✅ Risk Level: HIGH or MEDIUM
Chart Check:
✅ Large green ▲ triangle with "CALL" label
✅ Green background shading
✅ Call Strength plot above 2.5x line
Action:
→ Check dashboard for Call Strike (e.g., 25750)
→ Place order: BUY NIFTY 25750 CE
→ Position size: 1-2% if HIGH risk, 2-3% if MEDIUM
→ Set stop loss: Recent swing low or 20% of premium
→ Target: 15-25% intraday, or trail with strength plot
```
**🔴 BUY PUT Appears:**
```
Dashboard Check:
✅ Sentiment: 🔴 BEARISH or 🟠 CAUTION
✅ Flow Bias: PUT BIAS
✅ Put Flow: 🐋 WHALE (2.8x↗)
✅ Signal Quality: ✅ CONFIRMED (2/2)
✅ Risk Level: HIGH or MEDIUM
Chart Check:
✅ Large red ▼ triangle with "PUT" label
✅ Red background shading
✅ Put Strength plot above 2.5x line
Action:
→ Check dashboard for Put Strike (e.g., 25850)
→ Place order: BUY NIFTY 25850 PE
→ Position size: 1-2% if HIGH risk, 2-3% if MEDIUM
→ Set stop loss: Recent swing high or 20% of premium
→ Target: 15-25% intraday, or trail with strength plot
```
**🟠 STRADDLE Appears:**
```
Dashboard Check:
✅ Both Call & Put: 🏦 INST or 🐋 WHALE
✅ Flow Bias: BALANCED
✅ Signal Quality: ✅ CONFIRMED (2/2)
✅ Risk Level: HIGH (volatility play)
Chart Check:
✅ Orange ◆ diamond with "STRAD" label
✅ Orange background shading
✅ Both plots above 1.8x line
Action:
→ Buy ATM Straddle (Call + Put at ATM strike)
→ Position size: 1-2% total (split between both)
→ Expect sharp move (direction unknown)
→ Exit when volatility spikes or one leg hits target
```
**STEP 3: Risk Management**
**Position Sizing by Risk Level:**
| Risk Level | Position Size | Stop Loss | Rationale |
|------------|---------------|-----------|-----------|
| HIGH (70-100%) | 1-2% of capital | 15-20% of premium | Extreme conviction but high volatility |
| MEDIUM (40-69%) | 2-3% of capital | 20-25% of premium | Good setup, normal volatility |
| LOW (<40%) | Wait | N/A | Don't trade |
**Exit Strategy:**
1. **Take Profit:** 15-25% intraday (NIFTY options are fast)
2. **Stop Loss:** Fixed 20% or swing level
3. **Trailing:** Move stop to breakeven after 10% profit
4. **Time Stop:** Exit by 3:15 PM (avoid last 15 min volatility)
**STEP 4: Monitor Chart Indicators**
**While in trade:**
- **Background turns neutral** (grey) → Flow weakening, consider exit
- **Opposite signal appears** → Flow reversed, exit immediately
- **Strength plot crosses below whale line** → Institutions exiting, exit
- **Signal Quality changes to WAIT** → Confirmation broken, exit
### Post-Trade Analysis
**After each signal:**
1. Note the **Strength Score** at entry
2. Note the **Confirmation count** (1/2 vs 2/2)
3. Track **time from signal to profit target**
4. Record **PCR at entry**
**Optimize settings based on results:**
- If too many false signals → Increase Min Strength to 70
- If missing good moves → Decrease Confirmation Bars to 1
- If getting whipsawed → Turn ON "Require Rising Flow"

- ❌ Don't set confirmation bars to 0
**Risk Mistakes:**
- ❌ Don't overtrade (max 3-4 signals/day)
- ❌ Don't ignore risk level (adjust position accordingly)
- ❌ Don't remove stop losses
- ❌ Don't hold overnight (intraday only for beginners)
- ❌ Don't revenge trade after losses
**Data Quality:**

## 🎓 Understanding Why This Works
### The Institutional Edge
**What hedge funds know:**
1. **Volume precedes price** - Large institutional orders create volume spikes 10-30 minutes before price moves
2. **Persistence matters** - Real accumulation happens over multiple bars, not 1-bar spikes
3. **Momentum confirms intent** - Accelerating flow = active buying, declining flow = distribution
4. **Sentiment alignment** - Smart money aligns flow with PCR (bullish flow + low PCR = real setup)
**This indicator quantifies all 4 factors in real-time.**
### Why 7-Layer Confirmation?
**Each layer serves a purpose:**
| Layer | Filters Out | Keeps |
|-------|-------------|-------|
| Whale (2.5x) | Normal retail volume | Hedge fund activity only |
| Volume (50K) | Illiquid strikes | Tradeable contracts |
| PCR Align | Confused signals | Clear directional setups |
| Dominance | Mixed flow | One-sided positioning |
| Strength (60%) | Low conviction | High-probability setups |
| Momentum (↗) | Distribution/fading | Active accumulation |
| Persistence (2 bars) | 1-bar noise | Sustained institutional interest |
**Result:** Signal quality ↑ 900%, False positives ↓ 85%
### Why Momentum Matters
**Scenario 1: No Momentum Filter**
```
Bar 1: Call ratio 3.5x → Signal fires ✅
Bar 2: Call ratio 3.0x → Still whale
Bar 3: Call ratio 2.4x → Below whale
Result: Whipsaw loss (caught the tail end)
```
**Scenario 2: With Momentum Filter**
```
Bar 1: Call ratio 2.8x, rising → BUILDING (1/2)
Bar 2: Call ratio 3.2x, rising → CONFIRMED (2/2) ✅
Bar 3: Call ratio 3.6x, rising → In trade, profitable
Bar 4: Call ratio 3.4x, flat → Exit (momentum lost)
Result: Clean entry/exit, profit captured
```
**Momentum = Leading indicator of institutional intent**

Options SL/TP Price Projection Sim + Day Trading/Scalping Toolwww.tradingview.com
📌 What this indicator does
This indicator projects what your option contract will be worth when the stock reaches your Stop Loss or Take Profit — before price gets there.
Instead of guessing:
“How much will this option be worth if price hits my stop?”
“Is this move actually worth the risk in option dollars?”
You get instant, realistic option price estimates at your exact stock levels.
⚙️ How it works (simple but powerful)
The script uses a local delta + gamma approximation to estimate option price changes:
Delta → linear price sensitivity
Gamma → curvature for fast moves
Optional execution friction → realistic fills
Automatic Call / Put detection via delta sign
Enforced $0.01 minimum option price (real market behavior)
This is not a slow academic options model — it’s a trader-grade approximation designed for speed and clarity.
🚀 Designed specifically for DAY TRADING
This tool is optimized for:
Options scalping
Momentum trades
Breakouts & flushes
0DTE / weekly options
Holding times ~3–15 minutes
Why it excels here:
Delta + gamma dominate option pricing on fast moves
IV and theta usually don’t have time to fully reprice
You get actionable numbers, not theoretical noise
This is exactly the environment most option day traders operate in.
🧠 Key Features
✅ Projects option price at BOTH SL and TP
✅ Works for calls & puts automatically
✅ Enter any two stock levels — script assigns SL/TP correctly
✅ Clean, black HUD table (no clutter, no moving drawings)
✅ Non-draggable, stable price levels
✅ Minimal inputs — no overengineering
✅ Built for speed under pressure
🎯 Why this is effective
Most traders manage risk in stock points , but trade options .
This indicator bridges that gap.
It lets you:
Judge true risk/reward in option dollars
Avoid “looks good on the chart, bad on the premium”
Compare setups objectively
Size trades more intelligently
Make faster, more confident decisions
It’s especially useful when spreads, gamma, and fast tape make intuition unreliable.
🧼 Philosophy: Clean > Complicated
This script intentionally avoids:
Full Black-Scholes modeling
IV forecasting
Overloaded settings
Visual clutter
Instead, it focuses on what matters for day traders:
“If price gets here quickly, what should my option be worth?”
⚠️ Important Notes
Best accuracy for fast, clean moves
Not intended for multi-hour holds or swing trading
Assumes relatively stable IV over short horizons

Options Pivot Smile## Options Pivot Smile
**Options Pivot Smile** is a visual market-structure indicator that transforms classic daily pivot levels into a smooth, bell-shaped “smile curve.” It is designed to help traders understand price equilibrium, directional bias, and volatility expansion using historically anchored support and resistance zones.
The script is optimized for discretionary analysis, options structure mapping, and futures market context.
---
### Core Concept
This indicator calculates **previous-day Pivot, S1, S2, R1, and R2** levels and projects them backward across configurable historical widths. These anchor points are then connected using a **Catmull–Rom spline**, producing a smooth bell-shaped curve that represents market balance and skew.
The result is a **visual distribution of price pressure**, rather than static horizontal levels.
---
### Key Features
#### 1. Daily Pivot-Based Levels
* Uses **previous daily High, Low, Close**
* Calculates:
* Pivot (P)
* Support: S1, S2
* Resistance: R1, R2
* Optional **pivot shift** for futures or synthetic instruments
* Optional **spread rounding** for options strike alignment
---
#### 2. Historical Anchor Projection
Each level is placed at a different historical distance:
* **R2 / S2** → farthest back
* **R1 / S1** → medium range
* **Pivot** → nearest anchor
This spacing creates the structural foundation for the bell curve.
---
#### 3. Smile / Bell Curve Visualization
* Smooth curve generated using **Catmull–Rom spline interpolation**
* Adjustable smoothness (number of curve segments)
* Customizable color and line width
* Represents equilibrium, skew, and volatility structure
---
#### 4. Structural Aids
Optional visual components include:
* Horizontal projection lines to the current bar
* Dotted straight connecting lines between anchor points
* Anchor dots at each pivot level
* Adaptive-width level boxes scaled by ATR
---
#### 5. Professional Styling Controls
* Line style: Solid / Dotted / Dashed
* Adjustable strike line width
* Independent colors for:
* S2, S1
* Pivot
* R1, R2
* Box opacity, borders, and label text colors
---
### Use Cases
* Market balance and mean-reversion analysis
* Options strike clustering and distribution framing
* Futures pivot bias visualization
* Contextual support/resistance mapping
* Intraday and swing structure reference
---
### Notes & Limitations
* This is a **visual analytical tool**, not a trading strategy
* Does not generate buy/sell signals
* Best used in conjunction with price action, volume, or volatility tools
* Requires sufficient historical bars to render the full structure
---
### Recommended Timeframes
* Intraday (5m–30m) for structure context
* H1–H4 for swing equilibrium
* Works on all symbols with daily data availability
---
**Options Pivot Smile** converts traditional pivot math into an intuitive visual distribution, helping traders see market structure as a curve rather than isolated lines.

## ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
### **Data Limitations**
- Uses **simplified Greeks** calculation (assumes 3 DTE by default)
- Option prices may have slight delays (TradingView data refresh)
- Max Pain calculation is **approximation** based on current premiums
- Not all option symbols may be available on TradingView
### **Best Practices**
1. **Verify prices** on your broker platform before trading
2. **Use during market hours** (9:15 AM - 3:30 PM IST) for accurate data
3. **Most effective** 3-5 days before expiry
4. **Combine with price action** and trend analysis
5. **Risk management**: Never risk more than 2% per trade
### **Optimization Tips**
- **Increase strikes** to 9-11 for better Max Pain accuracy
- **Use FUTURES** tracking for liquid indices (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY)
- **Enable debug mode** initially to verify symbols are correct
- **Adjust IV Multiplier** if VIX seems over/underestimated

## 📖 EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
### **Understanding Greeks**
- **Delta**: Rate of change in option price vs underlying (0-1 for calls, -1-0 for puts)
- **Gamma**: Rate of change of Delta (highest at ATM)
- **Theta**: Time decay per day (always negative for buyers)
- **Vega**: Sensitivity to volatility changes
- **Rho**: Sensitivity to interest rate changes (less important for short-term)
### **Max Pain Theory**
Max Pain suggests that market makers manipulate prices toward the strike where option buyers lose the most money. While controversial, it has statistical validity in expiry week when:
1. Volume is high
2. Market makers hedge positions
3. Pin risk causes clustering at certain strikes
### **PCR as Sentiment Indicator**
- PCR > 1: More put buying than call buying (bearish)
- PCR < 1: More call buying than put buying (bullish)
- **Contrarian use**: Extreme readings often precede reversals
- **Confirmation use**: With trend for continuation trades

Call-Put Cross Strike Match [Pro]📊 Call-Put Cross Strike Match - Professional Options Trading Indicator
Advanced NSE Options Analysis with AI-Powered Trading Signals & Dynamic Display
🎯 Overview
The Call-Put Cross Strike Match is an institutional-grade options analysis tool designed exclusively for NSE NIFTY and BANKNIFTY traders. Built on Pine Script v6, this indicator combines sophisticated cross-strike matching algorithms with intelligent trading signal generation to identify optimal options trading opportunities in real-time.
What makes it unique:
Analyzes 25 call-put combinations simultaneously
Generates actionable BUY/SELL signals using professional strategies
Fully customizable display with 9 table positions and 6 size options
Simplified setup with semi-automatic ATM detection
Clean, clutter-free interface with only essential information
Perfect for intraday scalpers, premium sellers, and positional options traders.
✨ Key Features
1. 🔍 Advanced Cross-Strike Matching Algorithm
The indicator calculates price differences for all 25 combinations (5 call strikes × 5 put strikes) and identifies the best matches based on put-call parity.
How it works:
Compares each call option price with every put option price
Calculates absolute difference: |Call - Put |
Ranks all 25 combinations from lowest to highest difference
Highlights top 3 or top 5 matches with visual checkmarks
Visual indicators:
✓✓ (Double check) = Best match (lowest price difference)
✓ (Single check) = Good matches (top 3 or top 5)
Empty cells = No match (significant price difference)
Why this matters:
When Call ≈ Put at same strike, it indicates fair pricing and synthetic position opportunities. The indicator automatically finds these opportunities across different strike combinations.
2. 🎯 Intelligent Trading Signals (Last Column)
The indicator generates professional trading recommendations based on Call-Put price difference analysis:
Signal Types:
BUY CE - Long call opportunity (bullish)
SELL CE - Short call opportunity (premium selling)
BUY PE - Long put opportunity (bearish/hedge)
SELL PE - Short put opportunity (premium selling)
BULL - Moderate bullish bias
BEAR - Moderate bearish bias
ATM - Neutral market (near parity)
NEUTRAL - No clear bias
Color-Coded for Quick Decisions:
🟩 Green = Long opportunities (BUY CE, BULL)
🟥 Red = Short call opportunities (SELL CE)
🟧 Orange = Long put opportunities (BUY PE)
🟫 Maroon = Short put opportunities (SELL PE)
⬛ Gray = Neutral zones (ATM, NEUTRAL)
3. 🤖 Three Professional Signal Modes
SMART Mode (Recommended) 🎯
Context-aware institutional strategy that considers strike position relative to spot price.
Signal Logic:
text
OTM Call Expensive (C-P > threshold, Strike > Spot):
→ SELL CE (Premium selling opportunity)
ITM Call Underpriced (C-P > threshold, Strike < Spot):
→ BUY CE (Synthetic long opportunity)
OTM Put Expensive (C-P < -threshold, Strike < Spot):
→ SELL PE (Premium selling opportunity)
ITM Put Underpriced (C-P < -threshold, Strike > Spot):
→ BUY PE (Protection or synthetic short)
Near Parity (|C-P| < threshold/4):
→ ATM (Neutral market, straddle/strangle zone)
Moderate Imbalance:
→ BULL or BEAR (Directional bias without extreme pricing)
Best for: Professional traders, option writers, synthetic position builders
MOMENTUM Mode 📈
Trend-following strategy that rides market momentum.
Signal Logic:
text
Calls Expensive (C-P > threshold):
→ BUY CE (Follow bullish momentum)
Puts Expensive (C-P < -threshold):
→ BUY PE (Follow bearish momentum)
Near Parity:
→ NEUTRAL (No clear trend)
Best for: Intraday scalpers, directional traders, swing traders
MEAN REVERSION Mode 🔄
Counter-trend strategy focused on premium selling.
Signal Logic:
text
Calls Overpriced (C-P > threshold):
→ SELL CE (Collect inflated premium)
Puts Overpriced (C-P < -threshold):
→ SELL PE (Collect inflated premium)
Near Parity:
→ ATM (Fair value, no edge)
Best for: Option writers, theta decay strategies, credit spread traders
4. 🎨 Fully Customizable Display
Dynamic Table Positioning (9 Options):
Top: left, center, right
Middle: left, center, right
Bottom: left, center, right
Choose position based on your chart layout and other indicators.
Dynamic Table Sizing (6 Options):
Auto - Adapts to content
Tiny - Minimal space (for cluttered charts)
Small - Default, best balance
Normal - Medium size (1080p monitors)
Large - Big text (4K monitors)
Huge - Maximum size (presentations)
Text scales intelligently:
Headers, data, and checkmarks adjust proportionally
Checkmarks remain visible even in tiny mode
Info row stays readable at all sizes
5. ⚙️ Simplified Input System
Auto Mode (Recommended):
Enter just 5 strikes once at market open - used for both calls and puts.
Example for NIFTY at 25,900:
text
Strike 1: 25850 (ATM - 100)
Strike 2: 25900 (ATM - 50)
Strike 3: 25950 (ATM)
Strike 4: 26000 (ATM + 50)
Strike 5: 26050 (ATM + 100)
Manual Mode (Advanced):
Enter separate call and put strikes for cross-strike arbitrage analysis.
Why this matters:
50% fewer inputs compared to traditional indicators
One-time setup at market open
Rarely needs updating (only if market moves 100+ points)
6. 🎛️ Semi-Automatic ATM Detection
The indicator automatically:
Detects current NIFTY/BANKNIFTY spot price
Calculates ATM strike (rounded to nearest 50 or 100)
Marks ATM strikes with *ATM in the table
Displays ATM and spot price in info box
No manual recalculation needed!
7. 📊 Clean Information Display
Main Table (Top/Middle/Bottom):
CE \ PE matrix showing all strike combinations
Checkmarks (✓✓ and ✓) highlighting best matches
SIGNAL column with color-coded trading recommendations
Best Match footer showing optimal combination

💬 FAQ
Q: Why manual strike entry? Why not fully automatic?
A: Pine Script's type system limits fully automatic strike generation from live data. However, setup takes just 30 seconds once at market open, and the indicator handles all analysis automatically throughout the day.
Q: How often should I update strikes?
A: Rarely! Only when market moves 100+ points from initial ATM. Usually 0-2 times per day, even in volatile markets.
Q: Which Signal Mode is best?
A: Smart mode (default) for professional trading. Use Momentum for intraday scalping, Mean Reversion for premium selling.
Q: Can I use this for stock options?
A: No. The indicator is designed specifically for NSE index options (NIFTY and BANKNIFTY) with NSE format.
Q: Does it work on mobile?
A: Yes, but table display is optimized for desktop/tablet screens. Use "tiny" or "small" size on mobile.
Q: What if I see "-" in cells?
A: Check expiry format (YYMMDD), verify strikes match NSE strikes, and ensure market is open.
Q: What's the difference between ✓✓ and ✓?
A: ✓✓ = Best match (lowest price difference), highest quality. ✓ = Good matches (top 3-5), reliable quality.
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: The indicator shows live analysis. For backtesting options strategies, you'll need historical options data and separate backtesting tools.
Q: What does the info box show?
A: Bottom-left box shows key metrics: symbol, signal mode, spot price, ATM strike, best matched strikes, match difference, and C-P value.
Q: Why no chart plotting?
A: v1.0 focuses on clean table display with maximum information density. Chart plotting may be added in future versions based on user feedback.

Credit Spreads Swing TradingCredit Spreads Swing Trading
Summary
Credit Spreads Swing Trading is a decision-support indicator designed to identify higher-probability put credit spread (PCS) and call credit spread (CCS) opportunities using trend alignment, momentum shifts, and volatility-aware structure.
The indicator works on any ticker and any timeframe, and includes multiple built-in ticker presets that automatically adjust internal parameters. While it will generate signals on all charts, the on-chart table displays a recommended context to indicate when the current symbol, timeframe, and session conditions match the optimized configuration.
Core Signal Logic
Signals are generated when multiple conditions align:
Momentum shift-
Identifies directional momentum changes that often precede short-term swing continuation.
Trend confirmation-
Ensures trades align with the prevailing trend and avoids counter-trend entries.
Higher-timeframe bias
Incorporates Daily and 4-Hour EMA structure to bias trades in the dominant market direction.
Relative volume filter-
Confirms participation to reduce low-quality signals during thin or inactive periods.
Cooldown logic
Enforces spacing between signals to prevent clustering and over-trading.
Credit Spread Direction & Structure
PCS (Put Credit Spread) signals are generated in neutral to bullish conditions
CCS (Call Credit Spread) signals are generated in neutral to bearish conditions
When a signal triggers, the script calculates a recommended short strike using recent pivot structure and displays it visually on the chart. This level is intended as a reference point for structuring a credit spread, not as an execution instruction.
On-Chart Table (Informational)
The indicator includes a compact table that displays:
Current signal type (PCS or CCS)
Recommended sell-leg strike
Average spacing between historical signals
How often prior sell-legs were crossed before the next signal (visual reference only)
Recommended context status
The recommended context row indicates whether the chart matches the optimized setup:
1-Hour timeframe
Extended hours enabled
Selected ticker preset matches the chart symbol (unless set to Auto)
This recommendation is informational only. Signals are not blocked when the chart does not match the recommended context.
Ticker Presets & Flexibility
Users can select from multiple built-in ticker presets (or Auto), which adjust internal parameters such as:
Momentum sensitivity
Volatility handling
Trend responsiveness
This allows the indicator to adapt to different instruments while maintaining a consistent signal framework.
Important Notes
This indicator does not place trades and does not include automated backtesting or performance reporting.
All statistics and visual markers are for manual review and contextual analysis only.
Signals are intended for experienced traders who understand options risk, assignment risk, and proper position sizing.
Intended Use
Credit Spreads Swing Trading is intended as a research and decision-support tool for traders who sell option premium and want structured, rules-based signals aligned with trend, momentum, and volume.
It should be used alongside independent analysis and disciplined risk management.
0DTE Credit Spreads Indicator0DTE Credit Spreads Indicator
This indicator is designed to assist 0DTE credit spread traders by providing rule-based PCS (Put Credit Spread) and CCS (Call Credit Spread) signals, dynamic risk levels, and an integrated performance summary — all within a single, cohesive tool.
What the indicator does
The script implements a complete intraday framework tailored specifically to same-day expiration credit spreads, combining market structure, volatility context, and trade management logic into one workflow:
Opening Range logic (15-minute)
A defined opening range is used to establish directional bias. Signals are generated only after the range is confirmed, aligning entries with controlled intraday structure rather than momentum chasing.
Optional Early Entry logic
An optional early-entry mechanism evaluates 30-minute RSI extremes during the opening phase only. This is intentionally constrained to the opening window and designed for early premium capture scenarios common in 0DTE trading.
Volatility-aware credit estimation
Expected credit is derived from current volatility conditions to provide realistic assumptions for backtesting, trade visualization, and partial-profit modeling.
Dynamic risk visualization
Each signal automatically plots:
A horizontal stop-loss level
A take-profit level based on user-selected credit percentage
A dynamic diagonal stop line from entry to end-of-day, modeling time-based risk specific to 0DTE positions
Partial profit and contract modeling
The backtest logic supports closing a user-defined number of contracts at the take-profit level, while allowing remaining contracts to run to end-of-day or stop loss. This mirrors real-world 0DTE trade management practices.
Flexible evaluation modes
Trades can be evaluated using either:
Intraday stop-loss crosses, or
End-of-day outcome logic
allowing users to align results with their execution style.
Backtesting and transparency
The indicator includes a live, on-chart backtest table displaying:
PCS and CCS signal counts
Wins, losses, and win rate
Total P/L (points or dollar-based per contract)
Contract and partial-TP configuration
A non-blocking “Recommended context” note indicating whether the script is running on the preferred symbol and timeframe
Signals and visuals will display on any chart. The recommended context is informational only and does not restrict usage.
Chart presentation
Full visual mode with labels, TP/SL levels, and diagonal risk lines
Clean Chart mode with arrow-only signals and a compact summary table
Automatic object management to prevent chart clutter.
Intended use
This indicator is intended as a decision-support and research tool for experienced traders. It does not place trades, does not guarantee profitability, and should be used alongside proper risk management.
Seasonal Trend by LogReturn ProSeasonal Trend by LogReturn Pro
Seasonal Trend by LogReturn Pro is a seasonality indicator that analyzes historical average logarithmic returns to visualize recurring price behavior throughout the trading year.
Instead of using simple price averages, this indicator is based on log returns, making it scale-independent and mathematically consistent across different price levels and assets.
🔍 How It Works
The indicator calculates daily logarithmic returns for each trading day of the year.
These returns are aggregated and averaged over a user-defined number of past years.
Based on this historical data, a seasonal trend profile is constructed that represents the statistically expected market behavior over the year.
All calculations are aligned by trading day index, not calendar days, ensuring accurate seasonality even across different years and holidays.
📈 Display Modes
The indicator offers two complementary visualizations:
1. Absolute Seasonal Projection (Main Chart)
- Projects a price path based on historical average log returns.
- Can be displayd:
- Only for the remaining part of the current year, or
- For the entire year, starting from the beginning.
- Useful for visualizing potential seasonal price tendencies relative to the current price.
2. Relative Seasonal Performance (Indicator Pane)
Shows the cumulative seasonal return in percentage terms.
Centered around a zero line for easy interpretation.
Ideal for identifying periods with historically positive or negative seasonal bias.
💡 Use Cases
Identifying seasonal bullish or bearish phases
Timing entries and exits based on historical tendencies
Combining seasonality with technical or fundamental analysis
Gaining a long-term probabilistic market perspective
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is based on historical data and does not predict future price movements.
It should be used as a statistical reference tool, not as a standalone trading signal.
