Binance Z VolumeBTC perpetual volume on Binance is about 4x spot volume.
Comparing spot and perpetual volumes could provide useful insights into market sentiment.
Abnormal increases in the spot market could be associated with accumulation. Abnormal increases in the perpetual market, on the other hand, could predict volatility as well lows and highs.
This script represents a Z-score of the volume of perpetual and 4xspot on Binance.
High values above 0 mean that the volume is skewed towards perpetual contracts. Values below 0 mean that the volume is skewed towards spot contracts.
Feel free to suggest changes and improvements of this script.

Cumulative Volume v3The script, for Pine Script version 3, shows how to accumulate volume values during a defined session/period.
The input is the period to use for accumulation. "D" is the default value, useful to view data for each session.
This is slower than version 4 because there is no "var" and you need to use a loop. Also, you can't use "sum( volume , cnt_new_day)" with a variable length argument instead of "for".
Relative Volume Strength IndexRVSI is an alternative volume-based indicator that measures the rate of change of average OBV.
How to read a chart using it?
First signal to buy is when you see RVSI is close to green oversold levels.
Once RVSI passes above it's orange EMA, that would be the second alert of accumulation.
Be always cautious when it reaches 50 level as a random statistical correction can be expected because of "market noises".
You know it's a serious uptrend when it reaches above 75 and fluctuates there, grading behind EMA.
The best signal to sell would be a situation where you see RVSI passing below it's EMA when the whole thing is close to Red overbought level
It looks simple, but it's powerful!
I'd use RVSI in combination with price-based indicators.
Cumulative VolumeThe script shows how to accumulate volume values during a defined session/period.
The input is the period to use for accumulation. "D" is the default value, useful to view data for each session.
X-volume assessment numberSee source code for more details. Src1 = distribution and Src2 = accumulation.
SN Smoothed Balance of Power v2Hi all,
here is an updated version of the indicator script I published yesterday.
The goal of this indicator is to try and find darkpool activity. The indicator itself is not enough to fully identify darkpool but it should be able to detect quiet accumulation. What makes this Balance of Power different from others on TV is that it is smoothed by using a moving average.
Notes:
- The values that are default are completely arbitrary except for the VWMA length (a 14-day period for the 1D chart is the norm). For instance the limit where it shows red/green I picked because it works best for the 1D chart I am using. Other TF's and charts will need tweaking of all the values you find in the options menu to get the best results.
- I modified the indicator such that it is usable on charts that do not show volume. HOWEVER, this chart is default to NYMEX: CL1!. To get different volume data this needs to be changed in the option menu.
- I am in no way an expert on darkpool/HFT trading and am merely going from the information I found on the internet. Consider this an experiment.

Indicators: Volume Zone Indicator & Price Zone IndicatorVolume Zone Indicator (VZO) and Price Zone Indicator (PZO) are by Waleed Aly Khalil.
Volume Zone Indicator (VZO)
------------------------------------------------------------
VZO is a leading volume oscillator that evaluates volume in relation to the direction of the net price change on each bar.
A value of 40 or above shows bullish accumulation. Low values (< 40) are bearish. Near zero or between +/- 20, the market is either in consolidation or near a break out. When VZO is near +/- 60, an end to the bull/bear run should be expected soon. If that run has been opposite to the long term price trend direction, then a reversal often will occur.
Traditional way of looking at this also works:
* +/- 40 levels are overbought / oversold
* +/- 60 levels are extreme overbought / oversold
More info:
drive.google.com
Price Zone Indicator (PZO)
------------------------------------------------------------
PZO is interpreted the same way as VZO (same formula with "close" substituted for "volume").
Chart Markings
------------------------------------------------------------
In the chart above,
* The red circles indicate a run-end (or reversal) zones (VZO +/- 60).
* Blue rectangle shows the consolidation zone (VZO betwen +/- 20)
I have been trying out VZO only for a week now, but I think this has lot of potential. Give it a try, let me know what you think.

BBKC Combined Channels OverlayBBKC Combined Channels Overlay (Volatility & Mean Reversion)This indicator provides a clean, single-view envelope combining the Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) directly onto your price chart. It is an essential tool for traders operating with Volatility Compression (The Squeeze) and Mean Reversion strategies in fast-moving markets like Futures, High BTC Beta Equities, and Crypto. The goal of this tool is twofold: to visually frame the market's current volatility state and to identify high-probability entry points based on expansion or extreme contraction. How to Use the BBKC Overlay: Spotting the Squeeze (Accumulation Phase):The Squeeze is identified when the Bollinger Bands (BB) contract and fit inside the Keltner Channels (KC).The area is clearly marked with a subtle Orange Background Highlight on the main chart. This is the Accumulation phase, signaling low volatility before a potential large directional move. Trading Mean Reversion: When price pushes aggressively outside the outermost bands (the BB Upper/Lower), it signals an extreme volatility expansion and over-extension. This is a strong setup for mean reversion—a high-probability trade targeting a snap-back towards the central Basis Line (SMA).Customizing for Extreme Compression: For traders looking only for the tightest, highest-probability Squeezes, adjust the following setting: KC Multiplier (ATR): Lower this value from the default of 1.5 down to 1.25 or 1.0. This narrows the KC, forcing the Bollinger Bands to contract even further to trigger the Squeeze signal, thus filtering for only the most minimal volatility. Recommended Synergy: For a complete volatility system, pair this BBKC Combined Channels Overlay (your visualization tool) with the BBKC Squeeze Indicator (the sub-pane momentum histogram).Overlay (Main Chart): Shows where the Squeeze is occurring and identifies mean reversion targets. Squeeze Indicator (Lower Pane): Shows if the Squeeze is active and the directional momentum building up, helping you time the breakout entry for the Manipulation/Distribution phase.
Bollinger Keltner Squeeze Indicator (BBKC)Bollinger Keltner Squeeze Indicator (BBKC)This single-pane indicator combines the power of Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) to accurately identify periods of low volatility compression—the famous Squeeze—which often precedes large, directional moves.Designed for traders utilizing Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution (AMD) strategies, this tool makes spotting the 'Accumulation' phase simple and visually clear, perfect for high BTC Beta equities or futures markets like MES and MNQ.Key Features:Clear Squeeze Visualization:The background of the main chart is shaded Orange when the Squeeze is active (BB is inside KC). This immediately highlights periods of extreme compression.A simple Red/Green Dot below the chart confirms the Squeeze state (Red = Squeeze ON, Green = Squeeze OFF).Momentum Histogram:A built-in momentum oscillator smooths price action and guides the anticipated direction of the breakout.Teal/Orange Bars: Indicate momentum direction while the Squeeze is active (building pressure).Bright Green/Red Bars: Indicate momentum direction after the Squeeze has broken (expansion/breakout).How to Find Maximum Volatility Compression (The "Tightest" Squeeze)To align this indicator with a strategy focused on catching only the most extreme volatility compression—the key to those explosive moves—traders should adjust the Keltner Channel Multiplier setting.Setting Name: KC Multiplier (ATR)Default Value: 1.5Recommended Adjustment: To filter for only the absolute tightest squeezes (where price is least volatile), decrease this multiplier value, typically down to 1.25 or even 1.0.By lowering the KC Multiplier (ATR), you narrow the Keltner Channel boundaries. This requires the Bollinger Bands to compress even further to fit inside, ensuring the indicator only signals the Squeeze state during moments of truly minimal volatility, setting you up for maximum opportunity.
Algorithmic Value Oscillator [CRYPTIK1]Algorithmic Value Oscillator
Introduction: What is the AVO? Welcome to the Algorithmic Value Oscillator (AVO), a powerful, modern momentum indicator that reframes the classic "overbought" and "oversold" concept. Instead of relying on a fixed lookback period like a standard RSI, the AVO measures the current price relative to a significant, higher-timeframe Value Zone .
This gives you a more contextual and structural understanding of price. The core question it answers is not just "Is the price moving up or down quickly?" but rather, " Where is the current price in relation to its recently established area of value? "
This allows traders to identify true "premium" (overbought) and "discount" (oversold) levels with greater accuracy, all presented with a clean, futuristic aesthetic designed for the modern trader.
The Core Concept: Price vs. Value The market is constantly trying to find equilibrium. The AVO is built on the principle that the high and low of a significant prior period (like the previous day or week) create a powerful area of perceived value.
The Value Zone: The range between the high and low of the selected higher timeframe.
Premium Territory (Distribution Zone): When the oscillator moves into the glowing pink/purple zone above +100, it is trading at a premium.
Discount Territory (Accumulation Zone): When the oscillator moves into the glowing teal/blue zone below -100, it is trading at a discount.
Key Features
1. Glowing Gradient Oscillator: The main oscillator line is a dynamic visual guide to momentum.
The line changes color smoothly from light blue to neon teal as bullish momentum increases.
It shifts from hot pink to bright purple as bearish momentum increases.
Multiple transparent layers create a professional "glow" effect, making the trend easy to see at a glance.
2. Dynamic Volatility Histogram: This histogram at the bottom of the indicator is a custom volatility meter. It has been engineered to be adaptive, ensuring that the visual differences between high and low volatility are always clear and dramatic, no matter your zoom level. It uses a multi-color gradient to visualize the intensity of market volatility.
3. Volatility Regime Dashboard: This simple on-screen table analyzes the histogram and provides a clear, one-word summary of the current market state: Compressing, Stable, or Expanding.
How to Use the AVO: Trading Strategies
1. Reversion Trading This is the most direct way to use the indicator.
Look for Buys: When the AVO line drops into the teal "Accumulation Zone" (below -100), the price is trading at a discount. Watch for the oscillator to form a bottom and start turning up as a signal that buying pressure is returning.
Look for Sells: When the AVO line moves into the pink "Distribution Zone" (above +100), the price is trading at a premium. Watch for the oscillator to form a peak and start turning down as a signal that selling pressure is increasing.
2. Best Practices & Settings
Timeframe Synergy: The AVO is most effective when your chart timeframe is lower than your selected "Value Zone Source." For example, if you trade on the 1-hour chart, set your Value Zone to "Previous Day."
Confirmation is Key: This indicator provides powerful context, but it should not be used in isolation. Always combine its readings with your primary analysis, such as market structure and support/resistance levels.
Scenario Screener — Consolidation → Bullish SetupThe script combines multiple indicators to filter out false signals and only highlight strong conditions:
Consolidation Check
Uses ATR % of price → filters out stocks in tight ranges.
Uses Choppiness Index → confirms sideways/non-trending behavior.
Momentum Shift (Bullish Bias)
MACD Histogram > 0 → bullish momentum starting.
RSI between 55–70 → strength without being overbought.
Stochastic %K & %D > 70 → confirms strong momentum.
Volume & Accumulation
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF > 0) → buying pressure.
Chaikin Oscillator > 0 (debug only) → accumulation phase.
Trend Direction
+DI > -DI (from DMI) → buyers stronger than sellers.
ADX between 18–40 → healthy trend strength (not too weak, not overheated).
Breakout Filter (Optional)
If enabled, requires price to cross above 20 SMA before signal confirmation.

Overview
The Bar Statistics indicator is a comprehensive analytical tool designed to provide traders with detailed insights into market microstructure through advanced volume analysis, open interest tracking, and market flow detection. This indicator transforms complex market data into easily digestible visual information, displaying six key metrics in customizable colored boxes that update in real-time.
Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show basic volume data, this indicator combines multiple data sources to reveal the underlying forces driving price movement, including volume delta calculations from lower timeframes, open interest changes, and estimated market positioning.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
1. Multi-Timeframe Volume Delta Precision
The indicator utilizes lower timeframe data (default 1-second) to calculate highly accurate volume delta measurements, providing much more precise buy/sell pressure analysis than standard timeframe-based calculations. This approach captures intraday volume dynamics that are often missed by conventional indicators.
2. Real-Time Updates
Unlike many indicators that only update on bar completion, this tool provides live updates for the developing candle, allowing traders to see evolving market conditions as they happen.
3. Market Flow Analysis
The unique "L/S" (Long/Short) metric combines open interest changes with price/volume direction to estimate net market positioning, helping identify when participants are accumulating or distributing positions.
4. Adaptive Visual Intensity
The gradient color system automatically adjusts based on historical context, making it easy to identify when current values are significant relative to recent market activity.
5. Complete Customization
Every aspect of the display can be customized, from the order of metrics to individual color schemes, allowing traders to adapt the tool to their specific analysis needs.
6.All In One Solution
6 Metrics in one indicator no more using 5 different indicators.

Artharjan High Volume Zones v2Artharjan High Volume Zones (AHVZ)
The Artharjan High Volume Zones (AHVZ) indicator is designed to identify, highlight, and track price zones formed during exceptionally high-volume bars. These levels often act as critical support and resistance zones, revealing where institutions or large players have shown significant interest.
By combining both short-term (ST) and long-term (LT) high-volume zones, the tool enables traders to align intraday activity with broader market structures.
Core Purpose
Markets often leave behind footprints in the form of high-volume bars. The AHVZ indicator captures these footprints and projects their influence forward, allowing traders to spot zones of liquidity, accumulation, or distribution where future price reactions are likely.
Key Features
🔹 Short-Term High Volume Zones (ST-ZoI)
Identifies the highest-volume bar within a short-term lookback period (default: 22 bars).
Draws and maintains:
Upper & Lower Bounds of the high-volume candle.
Midpoint Line (M-P) as the zone’s equilibrium.
Buffer Zones above and below for intraday flexibility (percentage-based).
Highlights these zones visually for quick intraday decision-making.
🔹 Long-Term High Volume Zones (LT-ZoI)
Scans for the highest-volume bar in a long-term lookback period (default: 252 bars).
Similar plotting structure as ST-ZoI: Upper, Lower, Midpoint, and Buffers.
Useful for identifying institutional footprints and multi-week/month accumulation zones.
🔹 Dynamic Buffering
Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts: Adds a fixed percentage buffer above and below high-volume zones.
Intraday charts: Uses price-range based buffers, scaling zones more adaptively to volatility.
🔹 Visual Customization
Independent color settings for ST and LT zones, mid-range lines, and buffers.
Adjustable plot thickness for clarity across different chart styles.
How It Helps
Intraday Traders
Use ST zones to pinpoint short-term supply/demand clusters.
Trade rejections or breakouts near these high-volume footprints.
Swing/Positional Traders
Align entries with LT zones to stay on the side of institutional flows.
Spot areas where price may stall, reverse, or consolidate.
General Market Structure Analysis
Understand where volume-backed conviction exists in the chart.
Avoid trading into hidden walls of liquidity by recognizing prior high-volume zones.
Closing Note
The Artharjan High Volume Zones indicator acts as a volume map of the market, giving traders a deeper sense of where meaningful battles between buyers and sellers took place. By combining short-term noise filtering with long-term structural awareness, it empowers traders to make more informed, disciplined decisions.

ADX Tide ZonesADX Tide Zones – Adaptive Momentum & Trend Strength Framework
Overview
ADX Tide Zones – Professional is a dynamic trend-strength visualizer designed for traders who want to interpret momentum with precision and context. By combining the Average Directional Index (ADX) with adaptive threshold logic, the indicator segments price action into distinct “tide zones” that reflect varying levels of market strength: Calm, Rising, Strong, and Falling Tides. These zones transform raw ADX readings into an interpretable framework that highlights when markets are consolidating, building momentum, trending strongly, or losing strength.
Unlike standard ADX readings, which can be difficult to interpret in real time, ADX Tide Zones translate momentum shifts into a continuous, color-coded system that traders can instantly read. Whether applied to scalping, intraday, or swing trading, the indicator offers a consistent methodology for identifying actionable opportunities across assets and timeframes.
How It Works
The foundation of ADX Tide Zones lies in momentum analysis via the ADX. By measuring the strength (not direction) of a trend, ADX provides an objective read on when markets are gaining or losing energy. ADX Tide Zones enhances this by applying threshold logic to classify ADX values into four distinct states:
Calm Tide : Low ADX values indicate sideways or consolidating conditions.
Rising Tide : ADX increases past a threshold, signaling momentum building.
Strong Tide : ADX remains elevated, confirming robust and sustained trend strength.
Falling Tide : ADX declines after strength, hinting at exhaustion or early reversal setups.
These states are displayed on the chart through adaptive visualizations (zones, bar colors, or overlays), offering real-time clarity on when to expect expansion, continuation, or contraction in price action.
Interpretation
Trend Analysis : By mapping transitions between tides, traders can instantly gauge whether markets are in accumulation, expansion, or exhaustion phases. Rising/Strong Tides reinforce trend continuation, while Falling Tides highlight weakening conditions.
Volatility & Risk Assessment : Shifts between Calm → Rising Tide often precede volatility expansions. Falling Tides can signal a period of compression or corrective moves, warning traders to manage risk proactively.
Market Context : The indicator does not dictate direction; instead, it overlays strength on top of price action, allowing traders to combine it with directional tools such as moving averages, order blocks, or liquidity zones for confirmation.
Strategy Integration
ADX Tide Zones adapts seamlessly to a wide range of trading strategies by translating momentum dynamics into actionable frameworks:
Trend Following : Traders can align with dominant flows by entering positions when the indicator confirms a Rising Tide or Strong Tide. These conditions signal persistent directional strength, making them ideal for continuation setups. Combining directional bias with ADX confirmation reduces the risk of trading against prevailing momentum.
Breakout Trading : When the market transitions from Calm Tide into a Rising Tide, it often precedes a volatility expansion. This shift highlights breakout conditions where accumulation gives way to impulsive price movement. Traders can use this transition as a timing tool to catch early entries into new momentum phases.
Exhaustion Reversals : Strong Tide phases don’t last forever—when they begin to fade into Falling Tide, it can mark trend fatigue or liquidity exhaustion. This offers contrarian traders an early edge in spotting overextended moves and positioning for corrective pullbacks or full reversals.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis : By overlaying higher timeframe tide zones on intraday or scalping charts, traders can filter noise and trade in alignment with larger flows. For example, combining a daily Rising Tide bias with a 15-minute breakout confirmation can significantly improve entry precision while reducing exposure to false signals.
Advanced Techniques
For traders seeking an extra edge, ADX Tide Zones can be pushed further with advanced methods:
Volume & Liquidity Confirmation : Pair the tide transitions with volume spikes, order flow, or liquidity sweep tools. When directional strength confirmed by the ADX coincides with institutional activity, it validates setups and increases probability of follow-through.
Cross-Asset Synchronization : Momentum rarely exists in isolation. Monitoring tide shifts across correlated instruments (e.g., majors vs. USD, or indices vs. risk assets) can uncover synchronized volatility events. These correlations help traders identify whether a move is isolated noise or part of a broader systemic trend.
Threshold Optimization : The sensitivity of ADX Tide Zones can be fine-tuned for different trading objectives. Lower thresholds heighten responsiveness, capturing micro-moves suitable for scalpers. Higher thresholds filter minor fluctuations, isolating major structural swings that align with swing or position trading.
Contextual Trade Management : Instead of using static stops or targets, traders can adapt risk management dynamically by tracking tide progression. For example, a trade initiated during Rising Tide may remain valid as long as conditions sustain, but partial profits or tighter stops can be applied once the zone shifts to Calm Tide.
Inputs & Customization
ADX Length : Define the lookback period for ADX calculation.
Threshold Levels : Adjust sensitivity for Calm, Rising, Strong, and Falling Tides.
Zone Visualization : Choose between bar coloring, background shading, or overlays.
Color Customization : Configure bullish, bearish, neutral, and tide-specific colors.
Multi-Timeframe Options : Enable tide readings from higher timeframes for confirmation.
Why Use ADX Tide Zones
ADX Tide Zones turns the complexity of momentum analysis into a visual system that highlights when markets are gearing up for moves, trending with conviction, or running out of steam. By combining adaptive ADX interpretation with customizable thresholds, traders can:
Anticipate breakouts before volatility expands.
Confirm the strength behind price trends.
Spot exhaustion phases early to secure profits or prepare for reversals.
Adapt strategies seamlessly between scalping, intraday, and swing trading.
With its balance of simplicity and depth, ADX Tide Zones provides a structured lens for reading market momentum, equipping traders with the clarity needed to execute with discipline and confidence.
Intrabar Volume Delta — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)Intrabar Volume Delta Grid — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)
# Short Description
Shows intrabar Up/Down volume, Delta (absolute/relative) and UpShare% in a compact grid for both real-time and historical bars. Includes an MTF (M1…D1) dashboard, contextual coloring, density controls, and alerts on Δ and UpShare%. Smart historical splitting (“History Mode”) for Crypto/Futures/FX.
---
# What it does (Quick)
* **UpVol / DownVol / Δ / UpShare%** — visualizes order-flow inside each candle.
* **Real-time** — accumulates intrabar volume live by tick-direction.
* **History Mode** — splits Up/Down on closed bars via simple or range-aware logic.
* **MTF Dashboard** — one table view across M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 (Vol, Up/Down, Δ%, Share, Trend).
* **Contextual opacity** — stronger signals appear bolder.
* **Label density** — draw every N-th bar and limit to last X bars for performance.
* **Alerts** — thresholds for |Δ|, Δ%, and UpShare%.
---
# How it works (Real-Time vs History)
* **Real-time (open bar):** volume increments into **UpVolRT** or **DownVolRT** depending on last price move (↑ goes to Up, ↓ to Down). This approximates live order-flow even when full tick history isn’t available.
* **History (closed bars):**
* **None** — no split (Up/Down = 0/0). Safest for equities/indices with unreliable tick history.
* **Approx (Close vs Open)** — all volume goes to candle direction (green → Up 100%, red → Down 100%). Fast but yields many 0/100% bars.
* **Price Action Based** — splits by Close position within High-Low range; strength = |Close−mid|/(High−Low). Above mid → more Up; below mid → more Down. Falls back to direction if High==Low.
* **Auto** — **Stocks/Index → None**, **Crypto/Futures/FX → Approx**. If you see too many 0/100 bars, switch to **Price Action Based**.
---
# Rows & Meaning
* **Volume** — total bar volume (no split).
* **UpVol / DownVol** — directional intrabar volume.
* **Delta (Δ)** — UpVol − DownVol.
* **Absolute**: raw units
* **Relative (Δ%)**: Δ / (Up+Down) × 100
* **Both**: shows both formats
* **UpShare%** — UpVol / (Up+Down) × 100. >50% bullish, <50% bearish.
* Helpful icons: ▲ (>65%), ▼ (<35%).
---
# MTF Dashboard (🔧 Enable Dashboard)

# How to use (Quick Start)
1. Add the indicator to your chart (overlay=false → separate pane).
2. **History Mode**:
* Crypto/Futures/FX → keep **Auto** or switch to **Price Action Based** for richer history.
* Stocks/Index → prefer **None** or **Price Action Based** for safer splits.
3. **Label Density**: start with **Limit to last X bars = 30–150** and **Show every N-th bar = 2–4**.
4. **Contextual Coloring**: keep on to emphasize strong Δ% / Share moves.
5. **Dashboard**: enable and pick only the TFs you actually use.
6. **Alerts**: set thresholds (ideas below).
---
# Alerts (in TradingView)
Add alert → pick this indicator → choose any of:
* **Delta exceeds threshold** (|Δ| > X)
* **UpShare above threshold** (UpShare% > X)
* **UpShare below threshold** (UpShare% < X)
* **Relative Delta above +X%**
* **Relative Delta below −X%**
**Starter thresholds (tune per symbol & TF):**
* **Crypto M1/M5**: Δ% > +25…35 (bullish), Δ% < −25…−35 (bearish)
* **FX (tick volume)**: UpShare > 60–65% or < 40–35%
* **Stocks (liquid)**: set **Absolute Δ** by typical volume scale (e.g., 50k / 100k / 500k)
---
# Notes by Market Type
* **Crypto/Futures**: 24/7 and high liquidity — **Price Action Based** often gives nicer history splits than Approx.
* **Forex (FX)**: TradingView volume is typically **tick volume** (not true exchange volume). Treat Δ/Share as tick-based flow, still very useful intraday.
* **Stocks/Index**: historical tick detail can be limited. **None** or **Price Action Based** is a safer default. If you see too many 0/100% shares, switch away from Approx.
---
# “All Timeframes” accuracy
* Works on **any TF** (M1 → D1/W1).
* **Real-time accuracy** is strong for the open bar (live accumulation).
* **Historical accuracy** depends on your **History Mode** (None = safest, Approx = fastest/simplest, Price Action Based = more nuanced).
* The MTF dashboard uses `request.security` and therefore follows the same logic per TF.
---
# Trade Ideas (Use-Cases)
* **Scalping (M1–M5)**: a spike in Δ% + UpShare>65% + rising total Vol → momentum entries.
* **Intraday (M5–M30–H1)**: when multiple TFs show aligned Δ%/Share (e.g., M5 & M15 bullish), join the trend.
* **Swing (H4–D1)**: persistent Δ% > 0 and UpShare > 55–60% → structural accumulation bias.
---
# Advantages
* **True-feeling live flow** on the open bar.
* **Adaptable history** (three modes) to match data quality.
* **Clean visual layout** with guides, compact numbers, contextual opacity.
* **MTF snapshot** for quick bias read.
* **Performance controls** (last X bars, every N-th bar).
---
# Limitations & Care
* **FX uses tick volume** — interpret Δ/Share accordingly.
* **History Mode is an approximation** — confirm with trend/structure/liquidity context.
* **Illiquid symbols** can produce noisy or contradictory signals.
* **Too many labels** can slow charts → raise N, lower X, or disable guides.
---
# Best Practices (Checklist)
* Crypto/Futures: prefer **Price Action Based** for history.
* Stocks: **None** or **Price Action Based**; be cautious with **Approx**.
* FX: pair Δ% & UpShare% with session context (London/NY) and volatility.
* If labels overlap: tweak **Row Spacing** and **Text Size**.
* In the dashboard, keep only the TFs you actually act on.
* Alerts: start around **Δ% 25–35** for “punchy” moves, then refine per asset.
---
# FAQ
**1) Why do some closed bars show 0%/100% UpShare?**
You’re on **Approx** history mode. Switch to **Price Action Based** for smoother splits.
**2) Δ% looks strong but price doesn’t move — why?**
Δ% is an **order-flow** measure. Price also depends on liquidity pockets, sessions, news, higher-timeframe structure. Use confirmations.
**3) Performance slowdown — what to do?**
Lower **Limit to last X bars** (e.g., 30–100), increase **Show every N-th bar** (2–6), or disable **Draw Guide Lines**.
**4) Dashboard values don’t “match” the grid exactly?**
Dashboard is multi-TF via `request.security` and follows the history logic per TF. Differences are normal.

Strength zones:
Above Upper Threshold (default +40) = strong buy pressure; below Lower (−40) = strong sell pressure.
Confluence:
Best near S/R, trendlines, or HTF bias. For scalping on 1–5m, consider sigLen 9–13 and thresholds ±40 to ±50.
Alerts included: zero cross, zone entries, and Score/Signal crossovers.
Inputs (key)
fpLen (20): relative-volume lookback for Flow Pressure.
vwapLen (34): rolling VWAP window.
pvtLen (50): PVT z-score window.
sigLen (9): Signal smoothing.
Weights: wFP, wVWAP, wPVT to bias the blend.
Thresholds: upperBand / lowerBand (defaults +40/−40).
Display: toggle component plots and background shading.
Best practices
Trending markets: increase wVWAP (VWAP Drift) or widen thresholds.
Ranging markets: increase wFP and wPVT; take quicker profits.
News: wait for bar close confirmation or reduce size.
Data quality: use consistent volume feeds (especially in crypto).
Limitations
Oscillators can stay extreme in strong trends; use structure/trend filters.
Volume anomalies (illiquid pairs, API glitches) can distort signals—sanity-check with another venue when possible.

Smart Money Trades Pro [BOSWaves]Smart Money Trades Pro – Advanced Market Structure & Liquidity Visualizer
Overview
Smart Money Trades Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed for traders seeking an in-depth understanding of market structure, liquidity dynamics, and institutional flow. The indicator systematically identifies key market turning points, including break of structure (BOS) and change of character (CHoCH) events, and overlays these with adaptive visualizations to highlight high-probability trade setups. By integrating ATR-based risk zones, progressive take-profit levels, and real-time trade analytics, Smart Money Trades Pro transforms complex price action into an interpretable framework suitable for multiple trading styles, including scalping, intraday, and swing trading.
Unlike traditional static indicators, Smart Money Trades Pro adapts continuously to market conditions. It evaluates swing highs and lows over a configurable lookback period, then determines structural breaks using customizable confirmation methods (candle body or wick). The resulting signals are augmented with dynamic entry, stop-loss, and target levels, allowing traders to analyze potential trade opportunities with both precision and context. The indicator’s design ensures that each visual element—trend-colored candles, signal markers, and risk/reward boxes—reflects real-time market conditions, offering an actionable interpretation of institutional activity.
How It Works
The indicator’s foundation is built upon market structure analysis. By calculating pivot highs and lows over a specified period, Smart Money Trades Pro identifies potential points of liquidity accumulation and exhaustion. When price breaks a pivot high or low, the indicator evaluates whether this constitutes a BOS or a CHoCH, signaling trend continuation or reversal. These events are marked on the chart with distinct visual cues, allowing traders to quickly discern shifts in market sentiment without manually analyzing historical price action.
Once a structural break is confirmed, the indicator automatically determines entry levels, stop-loss placements, and progressive take-profit zones (TP1, TP2, TP3). These calculations are based on ATR-derived volatility, ensuring that targets scale with current market conditions. Risk and reward zones are plotted as shaded boxes, providing a clear visual representation of potential profit relative to risk for each trade setup. This system allows traders to maintain discipline and consistency, with dynamic trade management baked directly into the visualization.
Trend direction is further reinforced by color-coded candles, which reflect the prevailing market bias. Bullish trends are represented by one color, bearish trends by another, and neutral conditions are displayed in muted tones. This continuous visual feedback simplifies the process of trend assessment and helps confirm the validity of trade setups alongside BOS and CHoCH markers.
Signals and Breakouts
Smart Money Trades Pro includes structured visual signals to indicate actionable price movements:
Bullish Break Signals – Triangular markers below the candle appear when a swing high is broken, suggesting potential long opportunities.
Bearish Break Signals – Triangular markers above the candle appear when a swing low is broken, indicating potential short setups.
Change of Character (CHoCH) – Special markers highlight trend reversals, showing where momentum shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
These markers are strategically spaced to prevent overlap and remain clear during high-volatility periods. Traders can use them in combination with trend-colored candles, risk/reward zones, and ATR-based targets to assess the strength and reliability of each setup. The integrated table provides live trade information, including entry price, stop-loss level, take-profit levels, risk/reward ratio, and trade direction, ensuring that trade decisions are informed and data-driven.
Interpretation
Trend Analysis : The indicator’s trend coloring, combined with BOS and CHoCH detection, provides an immediate view of market direction. Rising structures indicate bullish momentum, while falling structures signal bearish momentum. CHoCH markers highlight potential trend reversals or significant liquidity sweeps.
Volatility and Risk Assessment : ATR-based calculations determine stop-loss distances and target levels, giving a quantitative measure of risk relative to market volatility. Wide ATR readings indicate periods of high price fluctuation, whereas narrow readings suggest consolidation and reduced risk exposure.
Market Structure Insights : By monitoring swing highs and lows alongside break confirmations, traders can identify where institutional players are likely active. Areas with multiple structural breaks or overlapping targets can indicate liquidity hotspots, potential reversal zones, or areas of market congestion.
Trade Management : The built-in trade zones allow traders to visualize entry, risk, and reward simultaneously. Progressive targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) reflect incremental profit-taking strategies, while dynamic stop-loss levels help preserve capital during adverse moves.
Strategy Integration
Smart Money Trades Pro supports a range of trading approaches:
Trend Following : Enter trades in the direction of confirmed BOS while using CHoCH markers and trend-colored candles to validate momentum.
Pullback Entries : Use failed breakout retests or minor reversals toward broken structure levels for lower-risk entries.
Mean Reversion : In consolidated zones with narrow ATR and repeated BOS/CHoCH activity, anticipate reversals or short-term corrective moves.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Overlay signals on higher or lower timeframes to filter noise and improve trade accuracy.
Stop-loss levels should be placed just beyond the opposing structural point, while take-profit targets can be scaled using the ATR-based zones. Progressive targets allow for partial exits or scaling out of trades while maintaining exposure to larger moves.
Advanced Techniques
Traders seeking greater precision can combine Smart Money Trades Pro with volume, momentum, or volatility indicators to validate signals. Observing sequences of BOS and CHoCH markers across multiple timeframes provides insight into liquidity accumulation and depletion trends. Tracking the expansion or contraction of ATR-based zones helps anticipate shifts in volatility, enabling better timing for entries and exits.
Customizing the structure period and confirmation type allows the indicator to adapt to different asset classes and timeframes. Shorter periods increase sensitivity to smaller swings, while longer periods filter noise and emphasize higher-probability structural breaks. By integrating these features, the indicator offers a robust statistical framework for disciplined, data-driven trading decisions.
Inputs and Customization
Structure Detection Period : Defines the lookback window for pivot high and low calculation.
Break Confirmation : Choose whether to confirm breaks using candle body or wick.
Display CHoCH : Toggle visibility of change-of-character markers.
Color Trend Bars : Enable color-coding of candles based on market structure direction.

The indicator is suitable for scalping, intraday, and swing strategies, offering a comprehensive system for understanding and trading alongside institutional participants.
Fear & Greed Oscillator — LEAPs (v6, manual DMI/ADX)Fear & Greed Oscillator for LEAPs — a composite sentiment/trend tool that highlights long-term fear/greed extremes and trend quality for better LEAP entries and exits.
This custom Fear & Greed Oscillator (FGO-LEAP) is designed for swing trades and long-term LEAP option entries. It blends multiple signals — MACD (trend), ADX/DMI (trend quality), OBV (accumulation/distribution), RSI & Stoch RSI (momentum), and volume spikes — into a single score that ranges from –100 (extreme fear) to +100 (extreme greed). The weights are tuned for LEAPs, emphasizing slower trend and accumulation signals rather than short-term noise.
Use Weekly charts for the main signal and Daily only for entry timing. Entries are strongest when the score is above zero and rising, with both MACD and DMI positive. Extreme Fear (< –60) can mark long-term bottoms when followed by a recovery, while Extreme Greed (> +60) often signals overheated conditions. A cross below zero is an early warning to reduce or roll positions.
Trojan Cycle: Dip & Profit Hunter📉 Crypto is changing. Your signals should too.
This script doesn’t try to outguess price — it helps you track capital rotation and flow behavior in alignment with the evolving macro structure of the digital asset market.
Trojan Cycle: Dip & Profit Hunter is a signal engine built to support and validate the capital rotation models outlined in the Trojan Cycle and Synthetic Rotation theses — available via RWCS_LTD’s published charts
It is not a classic “buy low, sell high” tool. It is a structural filter that uses price/volume statistics to surface accumulation zones, synthetic traps, and macro context shifts — all aligned with the institutionalization of crypto post-2024.
🧠 Purpose & Value
Crypto no longer follows the retail-led, halving-driven pattern of 2017 or 2021.
Instead, institutional infrastructure, regulatory filters, and equity-market Trojan horses define the new path of capital.
This tool helps you visualize that path by interpreting behavior through statistical imbalances and real-time momentum signals.
Use it to:
Track where capital is accumulating or exiting
Identify signals consistent with true cycle rotation (vs. synthetic traps)
Validate your macro view with real-time statistical context
🔍 How It Works
The engine combines four signal layers:
1. Z-Score Logic
- Measures how far price and volume have deviated from their mean
- Detects dips, blowoffs, and exhaustion zones
2. Percentile Logic
- Compares current price and volume to historical rank distribution
- Flags statistically rare conditions (e.g. bottom 10% price, top 90% volume)
3. Combined Context Engine
- Integrates both models to generate one of 36 unique output states
- Each state provides a labeled market context (e.g., 🟢 Confluent Buy, 🔴 Confluent Sell, 🧨 Synthetic Trap )
4. Momentum Spread & Divergence
- Measures whether price is leading volume (trap risk) or volume is leading price (accumulation)
- Outputs intuitive momentum context with emoji-coded alerts
📋 What You See
🧠 Contextual Table UI with key Z-Scores, percentiles, signals, and market commentary
🎯 Emoji-coded signals to quickly grasp high-probability setups or risk zones
🌊 Optional overlays: price/volume divergence, momentum spread
🎨 Visual table customization (size, position) and chart highlights for signal clarity
🔔 Alert System
✅ Single dynamic alert using alert() that only fires when signal context changes
Prevents alert fatigue and allows clean webhook/automation integration
🧭 Use Cases
For macro cycle traders: Track where we are in the Trojan Cycle using statistical context
For thesis explorers: Use the 36-output signal map to match against your rotation thesis
For capital rotation watchers: Identify structural setups consistent with ETF-driven or compliance-filtered flow
For narrative skeptics: Avoid synthetic altseason traps where volume lags or flow dries up
🧪 Suggested Pairing for Thesis Validation
To use this tool as part of a thesis-confirmation framework , pair it with:
BTC.D — Bitcoin Dominance
ETH/BTC — Ethereum strength vs. Bitcoin
TOTALE100/ETH — Altcoin strength relative to ETH
RWCS_LTD’s published charts and macro cycle models
🏁 Final Note
Crypto has matured. So should your signals.
This tool doesn’t try to game the next 2 candles. It helps you understand the current phase in a compliance-filtered, institutionalized rotation model.
It’s not built for hype — it’s built for conviction.

T-Virus Sentiment [hapharmonic]🧬 T-Virus Sentiment: Visualize the Market's DNA
Remember the iconic T-Virus vial from the first Resident Evil? That powerful, swirling helix of potential has always fascinated me. It sparked an idea: what if we could visualize the market's underlying health in a similar way? What if we could capture the "genetic code" of market sentiment and contain it within a dynamic, 3D indicator? This project is the result of that idea, brought to life with Pine Script.
The indicator's main goal is to measure the strength and direction of market sentiment by analyzing the "genetic code" of price action through a variety of trusted indicators. The result is displayed as a liquid level within a DNA helix, a bubble density representing buying pressure, and a T-Virus mascot that reflects the overall mood.
🧐 Core Concept: How It Works
The primary output of the indicator is the "Active %" gauge you see on the right side of the vial. This percentage represents the overall sentiment score, calculated as an average from 7 different technical analysis tools. Each tool is analyzed on every bar and assigned a score from 1 (strong bearish pressure) to 5 (strong bullish potential).
In this indicator, we re-imagine market dynamics through the lens of a viral outbreak. A strong bear market is like a virus taking hold, pulling all technical signals down into a state of weakness. Conversely, a powerful bull market is like an antiviral serum ; positive signals rise and spread toward the top of the vial, indicating that the system is being injected with strength.
This is not just another line on a chart. It's a comprehensive sentiment dashboard designed to give an immediate, at-a-glance understanding of the confluence between 7 classic technical indicators. The incredible 3D model of the vial itself was inspired by a design concept found here .
⚛️ The 4 Core Elements of T-Virus Sentiment
These four elements work in harmony to give a complete, multi-faceted picture of market sentiment. Each component tells a different part of the story.
The Virus Mascot: An instant emotional cue. This character provides the quickest possible read on the overall market mood, combining sentiment with volume pressure.
The Antiviral Serum Level: The main quantitative output. This is the liquid level in the DNA helix and the percentage gauge on the right, representing the average sentiment score from all 7 indicators.
Buy Pressure & Bubble Density: This visualizes volume flow. The density of bubbles represents the intensity of accumulation (buying) versus distribution (selling). It's the "power" behind the move.
The Signal Distribution: This shows the confluence (or dispersion) of sentiment. Are all signals bullish and clustered at the top, or are they scattered, indicating a conflicted market? The position of the indicator labels is crucial, as each is assigned to one of five distinct zones:
Base Bottom: The market is at its weakest. Signals here suggest strong bearish control and distribution.
Lower Zone: The market is still bearish, but signals may be showing early signs of accumulation or bottoming.
Neutral Core (Center): A state of balance or sideways consolidation. The market is waiting for a new direction.
Upper Zone: Bullish momentum is becoming clear. Signals are strengthening and showing bullish control.
Top Cap: The market is "heating up" with strong bullish sentiment, potentially nearing overbought conditions.
🐂🐻 The Virus Mascot: The At-a-Glance Indicator
This character acts as a shortcut to confirm market health. It combines the sentiment score with volume, preventing false confidence in a low-volume rally.
Its state is determined by a dual-check: the overall "Antiviral Serum Level" and the "Buy Pressure" must both be above 50%.
Green & Smiling: The 'all clear' signal. This means that not only is the overall technical sentiment bullish, but it's also being supported by real buying pressure. This is a sign of a healthy bull market.
Red & Angry: A warning sign. This appears if either the sentiment is weak, or a bullish sentiment is not being confirmed by buying volume. The latter could indicate a potential "bull trap" or an exhaustive move.
This mascot can be disabled from the settings page under "Virus Mascot Styling" if a cleaner look is preferred.
🫧 Bubble Density: Gauging Buy vs. Sell Pressure
The bubbles visualize the battle between buyers and sellers. There are two modes to control how this is calculated:
Mode 1: Visible Range (The 'Big Picture' View)
This default mode is best for getting a broad, contextual understanding of the current session. It dynamically analyzes the volume of every single candlestick currently visible on the screen to calculate the buy/sell pressure ratio. It answers the question: "Over the entire period I'm looking at, who is in control?" As you zoom in or out, the calculation adapts.
Mode 2: Custom Lookback (The 'Precision' View)
This mode is for traders who need to analyze short-term pressure. You can define a fixed number of recent bars to analyze, which is perfect for scalping or understanding the volume dynamics leading into a key level. It answers the question: "What is happening right now ?" In the example above, a lookback of 2 focuses only on the most recent action, clearly showing intense, immediate selling pressure (few bubbles) and a corresponding drop in the sentiment score to 29%.
ℹ️ Interactive Tooltips: Dive Deeper
We believe in transparency, not 'black box' indicators. This feature transforms the indicator from a visual aid into an active learning tool.
Simply hover the mouse over any indicator label (like EMA, OBV, etc.) to get a detailed tooltip. It will explain the specific data points and thresholds that signal met to be placed in its current zone. This helps build trust in the signals and allows users to fine-tune the indicator settings to better match their own trading style.
🎯 The Scoring Logic Breakdown
The "Antiviral Serum Level" gauge is the average score from 7 technical analysis tools. Each is graded on a 5-point scale (1=Strong Bearish to 5=Strong Bullish). Here’s a detailed, transparent look at how each "gene" is evaluated:
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Measures momentum and overbought/oversold conditions.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): RSI > 80 (Extreme Overbought)
Group 2 (Bearish): 70 < RSI ≤ 80 (Overbought)
Group 3 (Neutral): 30 ≤ RSI ≤ 70
Group 4 (Bullish): 20 ≤ RSI < 30 (Oversold)
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): RSI < 20 (Extreme Oversold)
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
Evaluates the trend's strength and structure based on the alignment of multiple EMAs (9, 21, 50, 100, 200, 250).
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): A perfect bearish sequence (9 < 21 < 50 < ...)
Group 2 (Bearish Transition): Early signs of a potential reversal (e.g., 9 > 21 but still below 50)
Group 3 (Neutral / Mixed): MAs are intertwined or showing a partial bullish sequence.
Group 4 (Bullish): A strong bullish sequence is forming (e.g., 9 > 21 > 50 > 100)
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): A perfect bullish sequence (9 > 21 > 50 > 100 > 200 > 250)
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
Analyzes the relationship between two moving averages to gauge momentum.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): MACD & Histogram are negative and momentum is falling.
Group 2 (Weakening Bearish): MACD is negative but the histogram is rising or positive.
Group 3 (Neutral / Crossover): A crossover event is occurring near the zero line.
Group 4 (Bullish): MACD & Histogram are positive.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): MACD & Histogram are positive, rising strongly, and accelerating.
Average Directional Index (ADX)
Measures trend strength, not direction. The score is based on both ADX value and the dominance of DI+ vs DI-.
Group 1 (Bearish / No Trend): ADX < 20 and DI- is dominant.
Group 2 (Developing Bearish Trend): 20 ≤ ADX < 25 and DI- is dominant.
Group 3 (Neutral / Indecision): Trend is weak or DI+ and DI- are nearly equal.
Group 4 (Developing Bullish Trend): 25 ≤ ADX ≤ 40 and DI+ is dominant.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish Trend): ADX > 40 and DI+ is dominant.
Ichimoku Cloud (IKH)
A comprehensive indicator that defines support/resistance, momentum, and trend direction.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): Price is below the Kumo, Tenkan < Kijun, and Chikou is below price.
Group 2 (Bearish): Price is inside or below the Kumo, with mixed secondary signals.
Group 3 (Neutral / Ranging): Price is inside the Kumo, often with a Tenkan/Kijun cross.
Group 4 (Bullish): Price is above the Kumo with strong primary signals.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): All signals are aligned bullishly: price above Kumo, bullish Tenkan/Kijun cross, bullish future Kumo, and Chikou above price.
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Measures volatility and relative price levels.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): Price is below the lower band.
Group 2 (Bearish Territory): Price is between the lower band and the basis line.
Group 3 (Neutral): Price is hovering around the basis line.
Group 4 (Bullish Territory): Price is between the basis line and the upper band.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): Price is above the upper band.
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
Uses volume flow to predict price changes. The score is based on OBV's trend and its position relative to its moving average.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): OBV is below its MA and falling.
Group 2 (Weakening Bearish): OBV is below its MA but showing signs of rising.
Group 3 (Neutral): OBV is very close to its MA.
Group 4 (Bullish): OBV is above its MA and rising.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): OBV is above its MA, rising strongly, and showing signs of a volume spike.
🧭 How to Use the T-Virus Sentiment Indicator
IMPORTANT: This indicator is a sentiment dashboard , not a direct buy/sell signal generator. Its strength lies in showing confluence and providing a quick, holistic view of the market's technical health.
Confirmation Tool: Use the "Active %" gauge to confirm a trade setup from your primary strategy. For example, if you see a bullish chart pattern, a high and rising sentiment score can add confidence to your trade.
Momentum & Trend Gauge: A consistently high score (e.g., > 75%) suggests strong, established bullish momentum. A consistently low score (< 25%) suggests strong bearish control. A score hovering around 50% often indicates a ranging or indecisive market.
Divergence & Warning System: Pay attention to divergences. If the price is making new highs but the sentiment score is failing to follow or is actively decreasing, it could be an early warning sign that the underlying momentum is weakening.
⚙️ Settings & Customization
The indicator is highly customizable to fit any trading style.
Position & Anchor: Control where the vial appears on the chart.
Styling (Vial, Helix, etc.): Nearly every visual element can be color-customized.
Signals: This is where the real power is. All underlying indicator parameters (RSI length, MACD settings, etc.) can be fine-tuned to match a personal strategy. The text labels can also be disabled if the chart feels cluttered.
