MA Distance MonitorMA Distance Monitor - Custom
Overview
The MA Distance Monitor is a professional-grade dashboard designed for traders who need to track the relationship between price and multiple Moving Averages simultaneously.
Unlike standard indicators that simply plot lines, this tool quantifies exactly how far the price is from your key levels (in Percentage or Price terms). This is crucial for identifying Mean Reversion opportunities (when price is overextended) and confirming Trend Strength.
Key Features
1. 5 Fully Configurable Moving Averages
Monitor 5 distinct MAs at once.
Default Setup: 5, 10, 20, 50, and 200 SMA (Simple Moving Average) — widely used institutional levels.
Customization: Switch any individual MA between SMA and EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and change lengths to fit your strategy.
2. Smart Dashboard (Clean Mode by Default)
The on-screen table gives you real-time data without cluttering your chart.
Clean Mode: By default, it shows only the Distance %, giving you a minimalist view of market extension.
Expandable: In the settings, you can enable additional columns to see the MA Name, MA Price, and Warning Thresholds.
Borders: Toggle table grid lines on or off for a seamless look.
3. "Overextended" Warning System
Set a specific "Warn %" threshold for each MA (e.g., 5%).
If the price deviates beyond this threshold, the indicator highlights the data in Orange (or your custom color).
Use Case: This helps identify when price has moved too far, too fast, signaling a potential pullback or reversal.
4. Chart Scale Labels
Floating labels appear on the right-side price scale, marking the exact price level of your MAs.
These labels dynamically show the current distance %, keeping your eyes on the price action.
5. Advanced Theming
Dark Mode: High-contrast colors optimized for dark charts.
Light Mode: Optimized for bright backgrounds.
Custom: Fully control every color (Bullish, Bearish, Warning, Text, Headers, Borders) to match your chart aesthetic perfectly.
How to Use
Interpreting the Data
Green: Price is Above the Moving Average (Bullish Trend).
Red: Price is Below the Moving Average (Bearish Trend).
Orange (Warning): Price is Overextended (Distance > Threshold). Watch for mean reversion.
Settings Guide
MA Configuration: Set your Lengths and Types (SMA/EMA).
Display & Styling: * Toggle Show Dashboard Table to hide/view the table.
Toggle Show Table Header or Show Table Borders for layout preference.
Enable Show MA Name or Show MA Price for more detailed data.
Colors: Select "Custom" in the Theme dropdown to apply your own color palette.

BE-Synergistic RSI Fusion Strategy█ Overview of the Script:
The Synergistic RSI Fusion Strategy is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to detect market turning points (reversals) and high-momentum breakouts. Unlike standard indicators that simply tell you to "Buy" or "Sell" based on a crossed line or overbought/oversold levels, this script builds a structural trade setup using zones. It waits for price action to confirm the signal before acting.
█ Why "Synergistic RSI Fusion"?:
The core engine of the indicator makes it all:
Fusion : Standard RSI only looks at the closing price relative to the previous closing price. This script calculates a comprehensive RSI that incorporates the candle's Highs and Lows.
Why is this more powerful? Imagine a "Hammer" candle where price drops significantly during the session but recovers to close near the open. A standard RSI sees almost no change because the Close is near the Open. However, Fusion RSI captures the full volatility of that dip and recovery, recognizing the massive "effort" and hidden battle between buyers and sellers that standard RSI completely misses.
Synergy : It combines this advanced momentum reading with ATR (Average True Range) to define volatility-based entry and exit zones. It blends momentum (RSI) with market structure (Price Action Zones).
█ How it Stands Unique:
The Core engine: Capturing the true efforts of the movement in price.
Multi-Peak Divergence: Instead of simple A-to-B divergence, this script uses a state machine to track local peaks by filtering out weak signals and waits for a significant disagreement between price and momentum.
The Zone System: It doesn't plot signals blindly. When divergence is found, it draws two "waiting rooms" (Green and Red zones). The trade is only taken if the candle closes inside one of these zones.
█ Divergence Trades: The Two-Way Setup:
A unique feature of this script is that when a Divergence signal appears, it generates two potential entry zones: a Bullish zone and a Bearish zone.
The Rational Behind the Two-Way Approach:
New traders often assume a Divergence means "Reversal." However, experienced traders know that Divergence simply means "Tension is building."
Scenario A (The Reversal): The RSI is screaming that momentum is dying, but price is pushing higher. If price respects the divergence, it will drop into the reversal zone. This is the standard divergence trade.
Scenario B (The Failure/Trap): sometimes, momentum is so strong that it blows through the divergence. If price ignores the RSI warning and breaks into the continuation zone, it signals that the trend is incredibly powerful.
Why Trade Both Ways?
By placing zones on both sides, the script essentially says: " I know a big move is coming because of the tension (Divergence), but I will let the market prove direction first. " This prevents you from " catching a falling knife " by trying to pick the exact top or bottom.
The Counter-Trading Logic (The Trap):
The script includes advanced logic for failed trades. If you enter a trade and the Stop Loss is hit immediately (a "fake-out"), the script adjusts the opposing zone by considering the liquidity of that particular candle.
Why? If the market traps Long traders and hits their stops, that selling pressure often fuels a massive move downwards. This logic allows the script to flip bias instantly and join the real move.
█ Continuation Trends: Why Price Runs After TP:
You may notice that often, after the Take Profit (TP) is hit, the price continues to run in that direction for a long time.
The "Breakout" Effect:
The Take Profit levels in this script are calculated using ATR (Average True Range). This is a conservative target based on recent average volatility.
Structural Breaks: The entry zones are usually positioned at key structural pivots. When price has enough energy to enter the zone and hit 100% of the ATR target, it effectively confirms a Break of Structure.
Momentum Release: The Divergence phase acts like a coiled spring. When that spring finally snaps (the trade entry), the release of energy is often far greater than just one ATR unit.
Psychology: When the TP is hit, it confirms the analysis was correct. This draws in other traders and algorithms who missed the initial entry, adding fuel to the fire and extending the trend.
█ Major Support & Resistance Zone:
The untested zones are typically the safe haven to place your SLs, which definitely act as Support & Resistance once the price approaches these zones.

Elite MTF EMA Reclaim Signals Only ( With Market Presets)This indicator is a multi-timeframe trend-continuation entry tool.
It’s designed to help you enter pullback trades in strong trends while blocking choppy or low-quality conditions.
It works by:
Requiring Daily + 1H trend alignment
Enforcing EMA structure (5/10/20/50) on the 6-minute chart
Confirming momentum (EMA slope + curvature)
Blocking trades during chop (low ATR, weak ADX, tight EMAs, recent EMA crosses)
Triggering entries only after a Pullback → Reclaim → (optional) Retest
How to use it (6-minute execution)
Set chart to 6-minute
Select Market (Forex, XAUUSD, Crypto, or Indices)
Select Preset
Elite → fewest, cleanest trades
Balanced → best everyday default
Aggressive → more signals, more risk
Trade only when you see a LONG or SHORT triangle
Avoid trades when CHOP or HTF block markers appear
Place stops beyond EMA50 or recent structure, target 2R–4R+
Optional:
Turn on Looser LTF Mode or Allow reclaim without pullback for more signals
Use Next bar confirmation for cleaner entries, Reclaim close for faster entries
Bottom line:
The indicator doesn’t hunt trades—it filters the market so you only trade when trend, momentum, and structure are aligned.
Session Levels (3of3)This system is designed to strip away market noise and highlight the areas where institutional capital is actually active.
Most retail traders fail because they treat every price movement with equal importance. They often enter trades in the "middle of nowhere" or get trapped by "fakeouts" at standard support/resistance levels.
This tool solves:
Context Blindness: It defines the "playing field" by marking institutional session boundaries (Asia, London, NY), so you know exactly where liquidity resides.
Computation Lag: Standard Volume Profiles often slow down a chart. Our Optimized VPC provides the "Magnet" price without the lag.
Indecision: By requiring a Market Structure Shift (MSS) alongside a Fair Value Gap (FVG), it removes the guesswork of "Is this a reversal or a continuation?"
Why It Is Unique:
Unlike standard indicators that look at a single data point (like just price or just volume), this is a Holistic System.
Auto-Mitigation: Most FVG indicators clutter your screen with old boxes. This tool automatically deletes zones once price "fills" them, keeping your focus on live opportunities.
Institutional "Sweep" Logic: It specifically tracks if price has "stolen" the liquidity from a previous session before issuing a signal.
The "Vegas" Filter: It uses the 144 EMA (Vegas Floor) as a high-probability institutional trend filter, ensuring you aren't fighting the primary trend.
When testing this, track one specific stat: "Did price hit the VPC after the MSS?" You will likely find that even when the trade doesn't reach the far PRZ targets, it reaches the VPC Magnet over 70% of the time. Focusing on that "snap-back" to the orange line is the secret to a high win rate with this tool.

- Divergence appears (early or confirmed)
- Double confluence = high probability
**Example (Long):**
```
1. Price drops into green demand zone
2. ⚠️ Early bullish divergence fires
3. Enter long with tight stop below zone
4. Target: POC or next supply zone
```
**Risk/Reward:** 1:3 to 1:5
---
### Setup 2: POC Bounce/Rejection
**Entry:**
- Price approaches POC line

2. POC acts as support
3. Bullish divergence appears (confirmation)
4. Enter long, stop below POC
```
**Short Setup:**
```
1. Price rallies to POC from below
2. POC acts as resistance
3. Bearish divergence appears
4. Enter short, stop above POC
```
**Risk/Reward:** 1:2 to 1:4
---
### Setup 3: Zone + Profile Confluence
**Entry:**
- Supply/demand zone aligns with thick profile bar
- Shows high CVD activity at that level
- Triple confluence = very high probability
**Example:**
```
1. Supply zone at 26,100
2. Profile shows heavy selling at 26,100
3. Price rallies to 26,100
4. Bearish divergence appears
5. Enter short
```
**Risk/Reward:** 1:4 to 1:6
---
### Setup 4: Early Warning Scalp ⚡

- Tight stop (1-2 ATR)
**Management:**
```
- Take 50% profit at 1:1
- Move stop to breakeven
- 🔻 Confirmed signal → Trail stop
- Exit rest at target
```
**Risk/Reward:** 1:1.5 to 1:2
**Trades/day:** 3-8
---
### Setup 5: Multi-Timeframe (Advanced)
**Confirmation Required:**
```
Higher TF (1H):
- Confirmed divergence
- At major POC or zone
Lower TF (15m):

## 🔧 Tuning Guide
### Too Cluttered?
**Simplify:**
```
✅ Show Divergences: ON
✅ Show POC: ON
❌ Show Zones: OFF (or reduce to 4-5)
❌ Show Value Area: OFF
❌ Divergence Labels: OFF
→ Clean chart with just lines + POC
```
### Missing Opportunities?
**More Signals:**
```
↓ Pivot Right: 6-7
↓ Early Warning Right: 2
↓ Min Bars Between: 25-30
↓ Min CVD Diff: 2-3%
↓ Min Absorption Ratio: 1.8
```
### Too Many False Signals?
**Stricter Filters:**
```
↑ Pivot Right: 12-15
↑ Min Bars Between: 60
↑ Min CVD Diff: 8-10%
↑ Min Absorption Ratio: 2.5
↓ Max Zones: 4-5
```
### POC Not Making Sense?
**Adjust POC Lookback:**
```
If too high: Increase to 400-500
If too low: Increase to 400-500
If jumping around: Increase to 500+
→ Longer lookback = more stable POC
```

CVD Divergence Detector# CVD Divergence Detector
Clean, focused divergence detection using **Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)** - one of the most reliable reversal signals in trading.
## 🎯 What It Does
Identifies divergences between **price action** and **volume delta**:
**🔻 Bearish Divergence**: Price makes Higher High, but CVD doesn't → Expect reversal DOWN
**🔺 Bullish Divergence**: Price makes Lower Low, but CVD doesn't → Expect reversal UP
## ✨ Key Features
### Two Detection Modes
**1. Confirmed Divergences** (High Accuracy)
- Solid red/green lines
- Labels: 🔻 Bear / 🔺 Bull
- Fully confirmed pivots (9 bars default)
- Win rate: ~70-80%
**2. Early Warning Mode** ⚡ (Fast Signals)
- Dashed yellow lines
- Labels: ⚠️ Early Bear / ⚠️ Early Bull
- Fires 6+ bars earlier (3 bars default)
- Win rate: ~55-65%
### Smart Filtering
- Minimum bars between signals (prevents spam)
- Minimum CVD strength requirement (filters weak signals)
- Adjustable pivot periods for any timeframe
### Four Alert Types
- 🔻 Confirmed Bearish Divergence
- 🔺 Confirmed Bullish Divergence
- ⚠️ Early Bearish Warning
- ⚠️ Early Bullish Warning
## ⚙️ Recommended Settings
**15m Day Trading** (Best for most traders):
```
Pivot Left/Right: 9
Early Warning Right: 3
Min Bars Between: 40
Min CVD Diff: 5%
Anchor TF: 1D
```
**5m Scalping**:
```
Pivot Left/Right: 7
Early Warning Right: 2
Min Bars Between: 60
Min CVD Diff: 5%
```
**1H Swing Trading**:
```
Pivot Left/Right: 12-14
Early Warning Right: 4-5
Min Bars Between: 30
Min CVD Diff: 8%
```
## 💡 Trading Strategies
### Strategy 1: Early Entry (Scalpers)
- ⚠️ Early warning → Enter immediately
- Stop: Just beyond pivot
- Target: 1:2 R/R minimum
- Trades/day: 3-8
### Strategy 2: Scale In (Day Traders)
- ⚠️ Early warning → 25% position
- 🔻 Confirmed → Add 75%
- Move stop to breakeven
- Trades/week: 5-15
### Strategy 3: Confirmation Only (Swing Traders)
- Wait for 🔻 confirmed signal only
- Wider stops (1-2 ATR)
- Hold for bigger moves
- Trades/month: 8-20
## 🎯 How to Use
1. **Install** indicator on your chart
2. **Choose** your timeframe (15m recommended to start)
3. **Enable** Early Warning for faster signals OR disable for confirmed only
4. **Set alerts** for your preferred divergence types
5. **Combine** with support/resistance for best results
## 🔧 Tuning Guide
**Too many signals?**
- Increase Pivot Right to 12-15
- Increase Min Bars Between to 60
- Increase Min CVD Diff to 8-10%
**Signals too slow?**
- Enable Early Warning
- Decrease Early Warning Right to 2
- Decrease Pivot Right to 6-7
**Want cleaner chart?**
- Turn off labels (lines only)
- Disable early warnings (confirmed only)
## ⚠️ Important Notes
**Requirements:**
- Volume data required (works on futures, stocks, crypto)
- May not work on some forex pairs (broker-dependent)
**Performance:**
- No indicator is 100% accurate
- Always use proper risk management
- Combine with price action and S/R levels
- Quality over quantity - don't trade every signal
**Best Results:**
- Divergence AT support/resistance = high probability
- Divergence + trend reversal pattern = confluence
- Multiple timeframe confirmation = strongest signals
## 📊 What Makes This Different?
**Other divergence indicators:**
- Use RSI, MACD, or other oscillators
- Don't show actual order flow
- Often give false signals
**This indicator:**
- Uses real CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)
- Shows actual buying/selling pressure
- Filters for quality (not quantity)
- Two modes: fast OR accurate (your choice)
- No clutter - just clean divergence lines
## 🚀 Quick Start
1. Add to chart
2. Default settings work well for 15m
3. Watch for 1 week before trading
4. Start with small size
5. Track your results
## 📈 Typical Performance
| Mode | Win Rate | Avg R/R | Best For |
|------|----------|---------|----------|
| Early Warning | 55-65% | 1:1.5 | Scalping |
| Confirmed | 70-80% | 1:2 | Swing trading |
| Both (Scale In) | 65-75% | 1:3 | Day trading |
| With Confluence | 75-85% | 1:3+ | All styles |

Confluence Execution Engine (2of3)The Confluence Execution Engine is a high-performance logic gate designed to filter out market noise and identify high-probability "Golden" entries. It moves beyond simple indicator signals by acting as a mathematical validator for price action. This engine is designed for the Systematic Trader. It removes the "guesswork" of whether a move is real or an exhaustion pump by requiring a mathematical confluence of volume, multi-timeframe momentum, and volatility-adjusted space.
Why This Tool is Unique:
Multi-Dimensional Scoring, Momentum-Adjusted Stretch, Institutional Fingerprint (RVOL + Spike)
Unlike a standard MACD or RSI, this engine uses a weighted scoring matrix. It pulls a "Bundle" of data (WaveTrend, RSI, ROC) from four different timeframes simultaneously. It doesn't give a signal unless the mathematical weight of all four timeframes crosses your "Hurdle" (Base Threshold).
Standard "overbought" indicators are often wrong during strong trends. This engine uses Dynamic Z-Score logic. The Logic: If the price moves away from the mean, it checks the Rate of Change (ROC). The Result: If momentum is massive, the "Stretch" limit expands. It understands that a "stretched" price is actually a sign of strength in a breakout, not a reason to exit. It only warns of a TRAP RISK when the price is far from the mean but momentum is starting to stall.
The engine is gated by Relative Volume. If the market is "sleepy," the engine stays in "PATIENCE" mode. It specifically hunts for Volume Spikes (default 2.5x average). A signal is only upgraded to "HIGH CONVICTION" when an institutional volume spike occurs, confirming that "Big Money" is participating.
How to Operate the Engine
Define Your Hurdle: Set your Confluence Hurdle. A higher number (e.g., 14+) requires more agreement across timeframes, leading to fewer but higher-quality trades.
Monitor the Z/Dynamic Ratio: In the HUD, watch the Z: X.XX / Y.YY. When X approaches Y, you are reaching the edge of the momentum-adjusted move.
The Entry Trigger: Wait for a "LOOK FOR..." advice to turn into a "HIGH CONVICTION" signal (marked by a triangle shape). This confirms that the MTF scoring, Volume, and HTF Trend are all aligned.
Execute the Lines: Use the red and green "Ghost Lines" to set your orders. These are ATR-based, meaning they widen during high volatility to give your trade room to breathe.

## What This Indicator Does
This indicator combines two powerful concepts to identify complete market cycles:
### 1. Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear)
Detects **volatility compression** (consolidation) and subsequent **expansion** (breakout).
**Think of it like:** A spring being compressed, then released.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe Trend Exhaustion
Measures how far price has moved from its moving averages across multiple timeframes.
**Think of it like:** A rubber band being stretched—eventually it must snap back.
### The Complete Cycle
```
Consolidation → Breakout → Trend → Exhaustion → Reversion → Consolidation
```
This indicator shows you exactly where you are in this cycle.

## Visual Components
### Main Panel (Bottom)
| Element | What It Looks Like | Meaning |
|---------|-------------------|---------|
| **Colored Bars** | Green/Red histogram | Momentum strength and direction |
| **Filled Area** | Yellow/Lime/Red gradient area | Price extension from moving averages |
| **Cross at Zero** | Black/Gray/Blue cross | Squeeze state (volatility) |
| **Dashed Lines** | Horizontal red/green lines | Extension thresholds (±2σ scaled) |
---
### 1. Momentum Histogram (Colored Bars)
| Color | Direction | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| **Bright Green** (Lime) | Up ↑ | Strong bullish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Green** | Up ↑ | Weak bullish momentum (decreasing) |
| **Bright Red** | Down ↓ | Strong bearish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Red** (Maroon) | Down ↓ | Weak bearish momentum (decreasing) |
**Key insight:** When bars change from bright to dark, momentum is fading.
---
### 2. Extension Area (Filled Gradient)
Shows how extended price is from its moving averages across 5 timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily).
| Color | Position | Meaning |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Red** | High above zero | Severely overbought (>2σ scaled) |
| **Orange/Yellow** | Above zero | Moderately overbought |
| **Lime/Green** | Below zero | Moderately oversold |
| **Teal** | Deep below zero | Severely oversold (<-2σ scaled) |
**The area is scaled 3x** for better visibility. Actual values shown in table.
**Reading it:**
- **Area touching upper dashed line** = Price very far above averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area touching lower dashed line** = Price very far below averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area near zero** = Price near its averages (normal/neutral)
---
### 3. Squeeze Indicator (Cross at Zero Line)
| Color | Status | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| **Black** ⚫ | Squeeze ON | Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels → Low volatility, consolidation |
| **Gray** ⚪ | Squeeze OFF | Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels → Volatility expanding, breakout |
| **Blue** 🔵 | No Squeeze | Normal volatility conditions |
**Critical:** The transition from Black → Gray is where explosive moves begin.
---
### 4. Entry/Exit Signals
| Symbol | Type | Meaning |
|--------|------|---------|
| 🔺 **Large Green Triangle** | HC Long Entry | High Confidence long setup (Squeeze OFF + Oversold + Confluence) |
| 🔻 **Large Red Triangle** | HC Short Entry | High Confidence short setup (Squeeze OFF + Overbought + Confluence) |
| 🔺 Small green | Medium Long | Long setup without full confluence |
| 🔻 Small red | Medium Short | Short setup without full confluence |
| ✕ Orange X | Exit Long | Close long positions (exhaustion detected) |
| ✕ Teal X | Exit Short | Close short positions (exhaustion detected) |
**Trade only the LARGE triangles** for highest probability setups.

## How to Read Signals
### Perfect Long Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright GREEN and rising
3. 🔻 Extension area BELOW lower dashed line (oversold)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔻" in table)
**Visual:** Large green triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was oversold across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking out upward with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Below recent consolidation low
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back above zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Perfect Short Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright RED and falling
3. 🔺 Extension area ABOVE upper dashed line (overbought)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔺" in table)
**Visual:** Large red triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was overbought across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking down with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Above recent consolidation high
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back below zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Exit Signals
#### Exit Long (Orange X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches upper dashed line (>2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright green to dark green
- Price losing upward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
#### Exit Short (Teal X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches lower dashed line (<-2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright red to dark red
- Price losing downward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
---
### Medium Confidence Signals (Small Triangles)
These appear when squeeze is OFF and momentum is directional, but:
- Extension is only moderate (not extreme), OR
- Confluence is weak (<3/5 timeframes)
**How to trade:**
- Use smaller position size (50% of normal)
- Tighter stops
- Only take if other factors align (support/resistance, volume, etc.)
---
## Trading Examples
### Example 1: Classic Squeeze Play into Trend
```
Step 1: CONSOLIDATION (💤)
Chart: Price moving sideways for 10-20 candles
Indicator: Black cross at zero (Squeeze ON)
Extension: Yellow/Lime area near zero line
Action: Set alert for Squeeze OFF
Step 2: BREAKOUT (⚡)
Chart: Strong green candle breaks resistance
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY (Squeeze OFF)
Bright GREEN momentum bars appear
Extension area still near zero or slightly below
Signal: Large green triangle appears
Action: ENTER LONG
Stop loss below consolidation
Target: Extension upper line
Step 3: TRENDING (↗️)
Chart: Series of higher highs and higher lows
Indicator: Momentum bars stay bright green
Extension area rising toward upper line
Area color transitions yellow → orange → red
Action: HOLD, trailing stop
Step 4: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes new high but with smaller candle
Indicator: Extension area touches upper dashed line
Momentum bars turn DARK green (weakening)
Orange X appears
Table shows "EXHAUSTION BULL"
Action: EXIT position
Book profits
Step 5: REVERSION
Chart: Price falls back toward moving averages
Indicator: Extension area shrinks back toward zero
Red momentum bars appear
Action: Wait for next setup
```
**Result:** Caught the entire trend from breakout to exhaustion.
---
### Example 2: Failed Breakout (What NOT to Trade)
```
Situation:
- Squeeze OFF (gray cross) ✓
- Momentum bars bright green ✓
- BUT extension area ABOVE upper line (already overbought) ✗
- Confluence shows 1/5 (only one timeframe agrees) ✗
Indicator: Small green triangle (medium confidence) or no triangle
What happens: Price makes small move up, then reverses
Lesson: Don't chase extended moves even if squeeze fires.
Wait for price to be on the RIGHT SIDE of the extension lines.
```
---
### Example 3: Exhaustion Reversal Trade
```
Step 1: EXTENDED (⚠️)
Chart: Strong uptrend for days
Indicator: Extension area deep in red zone (>2σ)
Momentum still bright green but starting to shorten
Table: "EXTENDED UP" / "CAUTION LONG"
Action: Watch closely, tighten stops
Step 2: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes final push but with decreasing volume
Indicator: Momentum bars turn DARK green
Orange X appears
Table: "EXHAUSTION BULL" + "4/5 🔺"
Action: CLOSE any longs
Consider SHORT entry
Step 3: SQUEEZE FORMS (Optional)
Chart: Price starts consolidating
Indicator: Cross turns BLACK (Squeeze ON)
Extension area falling toward zero
Action: Wait for Squeeze OFF to confirm reversal
Step 4: BREAKOUT DOWN (⚡)
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY
Bright RED momentum bars
Large red triangle appears

### Understanding the Table
Located in top-right corner:
| Row | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| **Market State** | Current cycle phase (Consolidation/Breakout/Trending/Exhaustion) |
| **Squeeze** | 🔴 ON / 🟢 OFF / 🔵 No |
| **Momentum** | ↑ Bull / ↓ Bear / ~ Weak / — Neutral |
| **Extension** | Actual value in standard deviations (σ) - NOT scaled |
| **Confluence** | How many timeframes agree (X/5 🔺 or 🔻) |
| **Velocity** | Speed of extension change (↑ increasing, ↓ decreasing) |
| **ACTION** | What to do right now |
**Most important rows:**
1. **Market State** - Quick glance at current cycle
2. **Confluence** - Determines signal quality
3. **ACTION** - Direct guidance

## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
1. **Wait for High Confidence signals** (large triangles)
- Don't trade every small signal
- Quality over quantity
2. **Use the complete cycle**
- Enter on Breakout (⚡)
- Hold through Trending (↗️/↘️)
- Exit on Exhaustion (🔴/🟢)
3. **Respect confluence**
- 4/5 or 5/5 = Excellent probability
- 3/5 = Good probability
- 1-2/5 = Skip
4. **Combine with price action**
- Support/resistance levels
- Volume confirmation
- Candlestick patterns
5. **Set alerts**
- "Squeeze OFF" - Don't miss breakouts
- "HC Long Setup" / "HC Short Setup"
- "Exit Long" / "Exit Short"
6. **Scale positions**
- Enter 50% on signal
- Add 25% if extension confirms
- Add final 25% if momentum sustains
7. **Use proper risk management**
- Stop loss: Below/above consolidation
- Position size: 1-2% account risk
- Take profit: Extension targets or signals
---
### ❌ DON'T
1. **Don't trade Consolidation state**
- Black cross (Squeeze ON) = Wait mode
- No signals during consolidation
2. **Don't chase Extended moves**
- If extension already >2σ when Squeeze fires
- Even if momentum looks good
- Wait for reversion first
3. **Don't fight strong trends**
- If extension is growing and momentum strong
- Don't counter-trend trade
- Wait for exhaustion signals
4. **Don't ignore velocity**
- If velocity is ↑ and extension high = still dangerous
- If velocity is ↓ and extension high = safer reversal
5. **Don't trade low confluence**
- 1/5 or 2/5 = Different timeframes disagree
- High chance of false signal
6. **Don't use blindly**
- Check overall market context
- Major news events can override signals
- Trend on higher timeframe matters
7. **Don't overtrade**
- Good setups are rare (that's why they work)
- Wait for complete setup formation

## Quick Reference Card
### Signal Quality Checklist
**⭐⭐⭐ PERFECT SETUP (Trade this)**
- Squeeze just turned OFF (⚫→⚪)
- Momentum bright and directional
- Extension >2σ (OPPOSITE direction of entry)
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Large triangle signal
- Action says "LONG/SHORT ENTRY ⭐"
**⭐⭐ GOOD SETUP (Trade with caution)**
- Squeeze OFF
- Momentum directional
- Extension moderate
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Small triangle or Action confirms
**⭐ WEAK SETUP (Skip)**
- Low confluence (<3/5)
- Extension same direction as entry
- Momentum weak or conflicting
- Already in Extended/Exhaustion state

### State → Action Quick Guide
| See This State | Do This |
|---------------|---------|
| 💤 CONSOLIDATION | Wait, set alerts |
| ⚡ BREAKOUT | Enter in direction |
| ↗️/↘️ TRENDING | Hold positions |
| ⚠️ EXTENDED | Tighten stops, no new entries |
| 🔴/🟢 EXHAUSTION | Exit, consider reversal |
| — NEUTRAL | No trade |

## Troubleshooting
**Q: Indicator shows Exhaustion but price keeps going**
**A:** Check velocity and momentum. If still bright bars + velocity ↑, wait. True exhaustion needs momentum weakening.
**Q: Too many false signals**
**A:** Increase Min Confluence to 4/5. Use longer timeframe chart (4h instead of 1h).
**Q: Missing good trades**
**A:** Set alerts for "Squeeze OFF" and "HC Entry" signals. You can't watch charts 24/7.
**Q: Extension area looks weird**
**A:** Remember it's scaled 3x for visibility. Check table for actual values.
**Q: Which timeframe is best?**
**A:** 4H for swing trading, 1H for day trading. Lower = more signals but more noise.
**Q: Can I use this with other indicators?**
**A:** Yes! Combine with:
- Volume profile
- Support/resistance levels
- Moving averages on chart
- RSI for additional confirmation

## Final Thoughts
This indicator gives you a complete picture of market structure:
- **Where are we?** (Market State)
- **Where are we going?** (Momentum)
- **How far can it go?** (Extension)
- **When will it reverse?** (Exhaustion)
The key is **patience**. Wait for the complete setup:
1. Consolidation (⚫ Squeeze ON)
2. Breakout (⚪ Squeeze OFF)
3. Right extension direction (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Strong confluence (3/5+)
When all pieces align, you get high-probability trades with clear entries, targets, and exits.
**Trade the cycle, not every wiggle.**

enigmaMarkets move, but price remembers.
Long before indicators flash signals or momentum shifts, price reacts to levels that were already there — quiet, patient, and unmoving.
This tool reveals those levels.
Fixed price intervals — the kind institutions respect, algorithms acknowledge, and charts quietly obey — are drawn automatically above and below current price. No predictions. No signals. Just structure.
The levels don’t chase price.
They wait for it.
On their own, they are simple.
Paired with time, context, and comparison, they become something else entirely.
When price reaches a level in alignment with a larger cycle, reactions tend to be cleaner and more decisive.
When related markets arrive at similar prices but disagree in direction, the divergence often tells a deeper story.
And when those moments occur within broader macro conditions, the response is rarely random.
Use these levels to observe reactions, pauses, rejections, and expansions.
Use them to frame risk across sessions, instruments, and regimes.
Use them to see how short-term movement fits inside a much larger narrative.
Nothing here tells you when to trade.
It only reveals where price matters — and when the market is paying attention.
If you know, you know.
