Support and Resistance Power Channel [ChartPrime]The Support and Resistance Power Channel indicator helps traders visualize key support and resistance zones, along with buy and sell power within those zones. By identifying the highest and lowest prices within a defined range, this indicator provides insight into potential price reversals and market strength. It calculates the strength of buy and sell pressure within the zones and includes additional features like midline values and delayed signals to reduce false breakouts.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Support and Resistance Zones :
This indicator identifies dynamic support (lower zone) and resistance (upper zone) levels, allowing traders to easily visualize key price levels. These zones are customizable with settings for the length of the channel and how far the zones extend into the future. The zones can be used to predict areas of potential price reversal or consolidation.
⯌ Buy and Sell Power :
Within the upper resistance zone, the indicator calculates Sell Power based on the number of bearish candles, while the lower support zone calculates Buy Power based on bullish candles. This feature helps traders understand the strength of buying or selling activity within each zone.
Example of buy and sell power tracking:
⯌ Highest, Lowest, and Mid Price Levels :
The indicator marks the highest and lowest price levels within the channel with an "X," and displays these values at the end of the channel. Additionally, the midline (average of the high and low) is plotted with a dotted line, showing a key area that the price often retests during trends.
⯌ Delayed Signal Markers :
To prevent false breakouts, the indicator includes a 2-bar delay for signals. These signals are plotted when the price crosses above or below the resistance or support zones, confirming potential reversals or breakouts. Arrows or diamonds are used to mark these signals on the chart.
Example of delayed breakout signals on the chart:
⯌ Extend Zones into the Future :
In the settings, traders can extend the support and resistance zones further into the future, allowing for ongoing analysis even after the initial levels have been identified. This feature can help with forward-looking trade planning.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Defines the number of bars used to calculate the support and resistance zones.
Extend : Sets how far the support and resistance zones should be extended into the future.
Top and Bottom Colors : Allows customization of the colors for the support and resistance zones.
⯁ CONCLUSION

It combines multiple technical analysis approaches into an integrated visual system that helps traders identify potential trading opportunities while filtering out false signals.
Core Features
1. Volume Analysis Dashboard
The indicator displays various volume-related metrics in customizable tables:
AVOL (After Hours + Pre-Market Volume): Shows extended hours volume as a percentage of the 21-day average volume with color coding for buying/selling pressure. Green indicates buying pressure and red indicates selling pressure.
Volume Metrics: Includes regular volume (VOL), dollar volume ($VOL), relative volume compared to 21-day average (RVOL), and relative volume compared to 90-day average (RVOL90D).
Pre-Market Data: Optional display of pre-market volume (PVOL), pre-market dollar volume (P$VOL), pre-market relative volume (PRVOL), and pre-market price change percentage (PCHG%).
2. Enhanced Volume Trend (VTR) Analysis
The Volume Trend indicator uses adaptive analysis to evaluate buying and selling pressure, combining multiple factors:
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) components
Volume-to-SMA (Simple Moving Average) ratio
Price direction and market conditions
Volume change rates and momentum
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) alignment and crossovers
Volatility filtering
VTR Visual Indicators
The VTR score ranges from 0-100, with values above 50 indicating bullish conditions and below 50 indicating bearish conditions. This is visually represented by colored circles:
"●" (Filled Circle):
Green: Strong bullish trend (VTR ≥ 80)
Red: Strong bearish trend (VTR ≤ 20)

Helps prevent false signals during highly volatile markets
Keep enabled for most trading conditions, especially in volatile markets
Speed of Change Weight (volTrendSpeedWeight, range 0-1):
Controls emphasis on volume acceleration/deceleration rather than absolute levels
Higher values (0.7-1.0): More responsive to new volume trends, better for momentum trading
Lower values (0.2-0.5): Less responsive, better for trend following
Helps identify early volume trends before they fully develop
Momentum Period (volTrendMomentumPeriod, range 2-10):
Defines lookback period for volume change rate calculations
Lower values (2-3): More responsive to recent changes, better for short timeframes
Higher values (7-10): Smoother, better for daily/weekly charts
Directly affects how quickly the indicator responds to new volume patterns
Volatility Filter (volTrendVolatilityFilter):
Adjusts significance of volume by factoring in current price volatility
High volume during high volatility receives less weight
High volume during low volatility receives more weight
Helps distinguish between genuine volume-driven moves and volatility-driven moves
EMA Alignment Weight (volTrendEmaWeight, range 0-1):
Controls importance of EMA alignments in final VTR calculation
Analyzes multiple EMA relationships (5, 10, 21 period)
Higher values (0.7-1.0): Greater emphasis on trend structure
Lower values (0.2-0.5): More focus on pure volume patterns
Display Mode (volTrendDisplayMode):
"Value": Shows only numerical score (0-100)
"Strength": Shows only symbolic representation
"Both": Shows numerical score and symbol together
3. Bollinger Band Squeeze Detection (SQZ)
The BB Squeeze indicator identifies periods of low volatility when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, often preceding significant price movements.
SQZ Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Strong squeeze - high probability setup for an impending breakout
Green: Strong squeeze with bullish bias (likely upward breakout)
Red: Strong squeeze with bearish bias (likely downward breakout)
Orange: Strong squeeze with unclear direction
"◯" (Hollow Circle): Moderate squeeze - medium probability setup
Green: With bullish EMA alignment
Red: With bearish EMA alignment
Orange: Without clear directional bias
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no squeeze condition (normal volatility)
The script identifies squeeze conditions through multiple methods:
Bollinger Bands contracting inside Keltner Channels
BB width falling to bottom 20% of recent range (BB width percentile)
Very narrow Keltner Channel (less than 5% of basis price)
Tracking squeeze duration in consecutive bars
Different squeeze strengths are detected:
Strong Squeeze: BB inside KC with tight BB width and narrow KC
Moderate Squeeze: BB inside KC with either tight BB width or narrow KC
No Squeeze: Normal market conditions
4. Breakout Detection System
The script includes two breakout indicators working in sequence:
4.1 Pre-Breakout (PBK) Indicator
Detects potential upcoming breakouts by analyzing multiple factors:
Squeeze conditions lasting 2-3 bars or more
Significant price ranges
Strong volume confirmation
EMA/MACD crossovers
Consistent price direction
PBK Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Detected pre-breakout condition
Green: Likely upward breakout (bullish)
Red: Likely downward breakout (bearish)
Orange: Direction not yet clear, but breakout likely
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no pre-breakout condition
The PBK uses sophisticated conditions to reduce false signals including minimum squeeze length, significant price movement, and technical confirmations.
4.2 Breakout (BK) Indicator
Confirms actual breakouts in progress by identifying:
End of squeeze or strong expansion of Bollinger Bands
Volume expansion
Price moving outside Bollinger Bands
EMA crossovers with volume confirmation
MACD crossovers with significant price range
BK Visual Indicators
"●" (Filled Circle): Confirmed breakout in progress
Green: Upward breakout (bullish)
Red: Downward breakout (bearish)
Orange: Unusual breakout pattern without clear direction
"◆" (Diamond): Special breakout conditions (meets some but not all criteria)

This detection works on any timeframe through careful calculation of current time in seconds.
Buy/Sell Volume Direction
The script analyzes buying and selling pressure by:
Counting up volume when close > open
Counting down volume when close < open
Tracking accumulated volume within the day
Calculating intraday pressure (up volume minus down volume)
Enhanced AVOL Calculation
The improved AVOL calculation works in all timeframes by:
Estimating typical pre-market and after-hours volume percentages
Combining yesterday's after-hours with today's pre-market volume
Calculating this as a percentage of the 21-day average volume
Determining buying/selling pressure by analyzing after-hours and pre-market price changes
Color-coding results: green for buying pressure, red for selling pressure
This calculation is particularly valuable because it works consistently across any timeframe.

Practical Trading Applications
Complete Trading Strategies
1. Squeeze Breakout Strategy
This strategy combines multiple components of the indicator:
Wait for a strong squeeze (SQZ showing ●)
Look for pre-breakout confirmation (PBK showing ● in green or red)
Enter when breakout is confirmed (BK showing ● in same direction)
Use VTR to confirm volume supports the move (VTR ≥ 65 for bullish or ≤ 35 for bearish)
Set profit targets based on ADR (Average Daily Range)
Exit when VTR begins to weaken or changes direction
2. Volume Divergence Strategy
This strategy focuses on the volume trend relative to price:
Identify when price makes a new high but VTR fails to confirm (divergence)
Look for VTR to show weakening trend (● changing to ◯ or ·)
Prepare for potential reversal when SQZ begins to form
Enter counter-trend position when PBK confirms reversal direction
Use external indicators (QQQ, BTC, Breadth) to confirm broader market support
3. Pre-Market Edge Strategy
This strategy leverages pre-market data:
Monitor AVOL for unusual pre-market activity (significantly above 100%)
Check pre-market price change direction (PCHG%)
Enter position at market open if VTR confirms direction
Use SQZ to determine if volatility is likely to expand
Exit based on RVOL declining or price reaching +/- ADR for the day
Market Context Integration
The indicator provides valuable context for trading decisions:
QQQ change shows tech market direction
BTC price shows crypto market correlation
UVIX change indicates volatility expectations
Breadth measurement shows market internals
This context helps traders avoid fighting the broader market and align trades with overall market direction.
Timeframe Optimization
The indicator is designed to work across different timeframes:
For day trading: Focus on AVOL, VTR, PBK/BK, and use shorter momentum periods
For swing trading: Focus on SQZ duration, VTR strength, and broader market indicators
For position trading: Focus on larger VTR trends and use EMA alignment weight
Advanced Analytical Components
Enhanced Volume Trend Score Calculation
The VTR score calculation is sophisticated, with the base score starting at 50 and adjusting for:
Price direction (up/down)
Volume relative to average (high/normal/low)
Volume acceleration/deceleration
Market conditions (bull/bear)
Additional factors are then applied, including:
MACD influence weighted by strength and direction
Volume change rate influence (speed)
Price/volume divergence effects
EMA alignment scores
Volatility adjustments
Breakout strength factors
Price action confirmations
The final score is clamped between 0-100, with values above 50 indicating bullish conditions and below 50 indicating bearish conditions.
Anti-False Signal Filters
The indicator employs multiple techniques to reduce false signals:
Requiring significant price range (minimum percentage movement)
Demanding strong volume confirmation (significantly above average)
Checking for consistent direction across multiple indicators
Requiring prior bar consistency (consecutive bars moving in same direction)
Counting consecutive signals to filter out noise
These filters help eliminate noise and focus on high-probability setups.
MACD Enhancement and Integration
The indicator enhances standard MACD analysis:
Calculating MACD relative strength compared to recent history
Normalizing MACD slope relative to volatility
Detecting MACD acceleration for stronger signals
Integrating MACD crossovers with other confirmation factors
EMA Analysis System
The indicator uses a comprehensive EMA analysis system:
Calculating multiple EMAs (5, 10, 21 periods)
Detecting golden cross (10 EMA crosses above 21 EMA)
Detecting death cross (10 EMA crosses below 21 EMA)
Assessing price position relative to EMAs
Measuring EMA separation percentage

Integrated Visual System for Trading Decisions
The colored circle indicators create an intuitive visual system for quick market assessment:
Progression Sequence: SQZ (Squeeze) → PBK (Pre-Breakout) → BK (Breakout)
This sequence often occurs in order, with the squeeze leading to pre-breakout conditions, followed by an actual breakout.
VTR (Volume Trend): Provides context about the volume supporting these movements.
Color Coding: Green for bullish conditions, red for bearish conditions, and orange/gray for neutral or undefined conditions.
Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA)The GMMA Momentum Indicator plots 12 EMAs on your chart, divided into two groups:
Short-term EMAs (6 lines, default periods: 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15): Represent short-term trader sentiment and momentum.
Long-term EMAs (6 lines, default periods: 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60): Reflect long-term investor behavior and broader market trends.
By analyzing the interaction between these two groups, the indicator identifies:
Bullish and bearish trends based on the relative positions of the short- and long-term EMAs.
Momentum strength through the spread or convergence of the EMAs.
Potential reversals or breakouts via compression signals.
This PineScript version enhances the traditional GMMA by adding visual cues like background colors, bearish signals, and compression detection, making it ideal for swing traders seeking clear, actionable insights.
The GMMA Momentum Indicator provides several key features:
1. Trend Identification
Bullish Trend: When the short-term EMAs (green lines) are above the long-term EMAs (blue lines) and spreading apart, it signals strong upward momentum. The chart background turns light green to highlight this condition.
Bearish Trend: When the short-term EMAs cross below the long-term EMAs and converge, it indicates downward momentum. The background turns light red, and an orange downward triangle appears above the bar to mark a new bearish signal.
2. Momentum Analysis
The spread between the short-term EMAs reflects the strength of short-term momentum. A wide spread suggests strong momentum, while a tight grouping indicates weakening momentum or consolidation. Similarly, the long-term EMAs act as dynamic support or resistance, guiding traders on the broader trend.
3. Compression Detection
Compression occurs when both the short-term and long-term EMAs converge, signaling low volatility and a potential breakout or reversal. A yellow upward triangle appears below the bar when compression is detected, alerting traders to watch for price action.
4. Visual Cues
Green short-term EMAs: Show short-term trader activity.
Blue long-term EMAs: Represent long-term investor sentiment.
Background colors: Light green for bullish trends, light red for bearish trends, and transparent for neutral conditions.
Orange downward triangles: Mark new bearish trends.
Yellow upward triangles: Indicate compression, hinting at potential breakouts.
How to Use the GMMA Momentum Indicator for Swing Trading
Swing trading involves capturing price moves over days to weeks, and the GMMA Momentum Indicator is an excellent tool for this strategy. Here’s how to use it effectively:
1. Identifying Trade Entries
Buy Opportunities:
Look for a bullish trend (green background) where the short-term EMAs are above the long-term EMAs and spreading apart, indicating strong momentum.
A compression signal (yellow triangle) followed by a breakout above resistance or a bullish candlestick pattern can confirm an entry.
Example: On a daily chart, if the short-term EMAs cross above the long-term EMAs and the background turns green, consider entering a long position, especially if volume supports the move.
Sell Opportunities:
Watch for a bearish signal (orange downward triangle) or a bearish trend (red background) where the short-term EMAs cross below the long-term EMAs.
Example: If the short-term EMAs collapse below the long-term EMAs and an orange triangle appears, it may signal a shorting opportunity or a time to exit longs.
2. Managing Trades
Use the long-term EMAs as dynamic support (in uptrends) or resistance (in downtrends) to set stop-loss levels or trail stops.
Monitor the spread of the short-term EMAs. A widening spread suggests the trend is strong, while convergence may indicate it’s time to take profits or tighten stops.
3. Anticipating Reversals
Compression signals (yellow triangles) highlight periods of low volatility, often preceding significant price moves. Combine these with price action (e.g., breakouts or reversals) or other indicators (e.g., RSI or volume) for confirmation.
Example: If a compression signal appears near a key support level and the price breaks upward, it could signal the start of a new bullish swing.
4. Best Practices
Timeframes: The indicator works well on daily or 4-hour charts for swing trading, but you can adjust the EMA periods for shorter (e.g., 1-hour) or longer (e.g., weekly) timeframes.
Confirmation: Combine the GMMA with other tools like support/resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or oscillators (e.g., MACD) to reduce false signals.
Risk Management: Always use proper position sizing and stop-losses, as EMAs are lagging indicators and may produce delayed signals in choppy markets.

ORB with 100 EMAORB Trading Strategy for FX Pairs on the 30-Minute Time Frame
Overview
This Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy is designed for trading FX pairs on the 30-minute time frame. The strategy is structured to take advantage of price momentum while aligning trades with the overall trend using the 100-period Exponential Moving Average (100EMA). The primary objective is to enter trades when price breaks and closes above or below the Opening Range (OR), with additional confirmation from a retest of the OR level if the initial entry is missed.
Strategy Rules
1. Defining the Opening Range (OR)
- The OR is determined by the high and low of the first 30-minute candle after market open.
- This range acts as the key level for breakout trading.
2. Trend Confirmation Using the 100EMA
- The 100EMA serves as a filter to determine trade direction:
- Buy Setup: Only take buy trades when the OR is above the 100EMA.
- Sell Setup: Only take sell trades when the OR is below the 100EMA.
3. Entry Criteria
- Buy Trade: Enter a long position when a candle breaks and closes above the OR high, confirming the breakout.
- Sell Trade: Enter a short position when a candle breaks and closes below the OR low, confirming the breakout.
- Retest Entry: If the initial entry is missed, wait for a price retest of the OR level for a secondary entry opportunity.
4. Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R2R)
- The goal is to target a 1:1 Risk-to-Reward (R2R) ratio.
- Stop-loss placement:
- Buy Trade: Place stop-loss just below the OR low.
- Sell Trade: Place stop-loss just above the OR high.
- Take profit at a distance equal to the stop-loss for a 1:1 R2R.
5. Risk Management
- Risk per trade should be based on personal risk tolerance.
- Adjust lot sizes accordingly to maintain a controlled risk percentage of account balance.
- Avoid over-leveraging, and consider moving stop-loss to breakeven if the price moves favourably.
Additional Considerations
- Avoid trading during major news events that may cause high volatility and unpredictable price movements.
- Monitor market conditions to ensure breakout confirmation with strong momentum rather than false breakouts.
- Use additional confluences such as candlestick patterns, support/resistance zones, or volume analysis for stronger trade validation.
This ORB strategy is designed to provide structured trade opportunities by combining breakout momentum with trend confirmation via the 100EMA. The strategy is straightforward, allowing traders to capitalise on clear breakout movements while implementing effective risk management practices. While the 1:1 R2R target provides a balanced approach, traders should always adapt their risk tolerance and market conditions to optimise trade performance.
By following these rules and maintaining discipline, traders can use this strategy effectively across various FX pairs on the 30-minute time frame.

- Dynamic EMA Calculation : The indicator applies a volatility-adjusted smoothing algorithm based on the efficiency ratio, ensuring that price trends are detected quickly in volatile markets and smoothly in stable ones.
- Filtering Mechanism : 🎯 Use can chose between two filtering options. Standard deviation to dynamically adjust based on market deviations or ATR Bands to determine trend strength through volatility expansions
- Signal Generation :
1. Bullish (🔵) is triggered when price crosses above the upper band.
2. Bearish (🔴) is generated when price drops below the lower band.
- The filtering method (SD/ATR) determines how the bands expand/contract, allowing for better trade adaptability.
________
Use Cases:
✅ For Trend Trading & Breakouts:
- Use SD bands (default setting) to capture trend breakouts and avoid premature entries.
- SD bands expand during high volatility, helping confirm strong breakouts, and contract during low volatility, helping confirm earlier trend exit.
- Consider increasing Dynamic EMA length (default 8) for longer-term trend detection.
✅ For Smoother Trend Filtering:
- Enable ATR bands for a more stable and gradual trend filter.
- ATR bands help reduce noise in choppy conditions while maintaining responsiveness to volatility.
- This setting is useful for traders looking to ride trends with fewer false exits.
✅ For Volatility Awareness:
- Watch the expansion and contraction of the filter bands:
- Wide SD bands = High volatility, breakout potential.
- Tight SD bands = Consolidation, potential trend exhaustion.

Judas Swing ICT 01 [TradingFinder] New York Midnight Opening M15🔵 Introduction
The Judas Swing (ICT Judas Swing) is a trading strategy developed by Michael Huddleston, also known as Inner Circle Trader (ICT). This strategy allows traders to identify fake market moves designed by smart money to deceive retail traders.
By concentrating on market structure, price action patterns, and liquidity flows, traders can align their trades with institutional movements and avoid common pitfalls. It is particularly useful in FOREX and stock markets, helping traders identify optimal entry and exit points while minimizing risks from false breakouts.
In today's volatile markets, understanding how smart money manipulates price action across sessions such as Asia, London, and New York is essential for success. The ICT Judas Swing strategy helps traders avoid common pitfalls by focusing on key movements during the opening time and range of each session, identifying breakouts and false breakouts.
By utilizing various time frames and improving risk management, this strategy enables traders to make more informed decisions and take advantage of significant market movements.
In the Judas Swing strategy, for a bullish setup, the price first touches the high of the 15-minute range of New York midnight and then the low. After that, the price returns upward, breaks the high, and if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback, a buy signal is generated.
bearish setup, the price first touches the low of the range, then the high. With the price returning downward and breaking the low, if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback to the low, a sell signal is generated.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively implement the Judas Swing strategy (ICT Judas Swing) in trading, traders must first identify the price range of the 15-minute window following New York midnight. This range, consisting of highs and lows, sets the stage for the upcoming movements in the London and New York sessions.
🟣 Bullish Setup
For a bullish setup, the price first moves to touch the high of the range, then the low, before returning upward to break the high. Following this, a pullback occurs, and if a valid candlestick confirmation (such as a reversal pattern) is observed, a buy signal is generated. This confirmation could indicate the presence of smart money supporting the bullish movement.
🟣 Bearish Setup
For a bearish setup, the process is the reverse. The price first touches the low of the range, then the high. Afterward, the price moves downward again and breaks the low. A pullback follows to the broken low, and if a bearish candlestick confirmation is seen, a sell signal is generated. This confirmation signals the continuation of the downward price movement.
Using the Judas Swing strategy enables traders to avoid fake breakouts and focus on strong market confirmations. The strategy is versatile, applying to FOREX, stocks, and other financial instruments, offering optimal trading opportunities through market structure analysis and time frame synchronization.
To execute this strategy successfully, traders must combine it with effective risk management techniques such as setting appropriate stop losses and employing optimal risk-to-reward ratios. While the Judas Swing is a powerful tool for predicting price movements, traders should remember that no strategy is entirely risk-free. Proper capital management remains a critical element of long-term success.
By mastering the ICT Judas Swing strategy, traders can better identify entry and exit points and avoid common traps from fake market movements, ultimately improving their trading performance.
🔵 Setting
Opening Range : High and Low identification time range.
Extend : The time span of the dashed line.
Permit : Signal emission time range.
🔵 Conclusion
The Judas Swing strategy (ICT Judas Swing) is a powerful tool in technical analysis that helps traders identify fake moves and align their trades with institutional actions, reducing risk and enhancing their ability to capitalize on market opportunities.
By leveraging key levels such as range highs and lows, fake breakouts, and candlestick confirmations, traders can enter trades with more precision. This strategy is applicable in forex, stocks, and other financial markets and, with proper risk management, can lead to consistent trading success.
Precision Cloud by Dr ABIRAM SIVPRASAD
Precision Cloud by Dr. Abhiram Sivprasad"
The " Precision Cloud" script, created by Dr. Abhiram Sivprasad, is a multi-purpose technical analysis tool designed for Forex, Bitcoin, Commodities, Stocks, and Options trading. It focuses on identifying key levels of support and resistance, combined with moving averages (EMAs) and central pivot ranges (CPR), to help traders make informed trading decisions. The script also provides a visual "light system" to highlight potential long or short positions, aiding traders in entering trades with a clear strategy.
Key Features of the Script:
Central Pivot Range (CPR):
The CPR is calculated as the average of the high, low, and close of the price, while the top and bottom pivots are derived from it. These act as dynamic support and resistance zones.
The script can plot daily CPR, support, and resistance levels (S1/R1, S2/R2, S3/R3) as well as optional weekly and monthly pivot points.
The CPR helps identify whether the price is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral zone.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Three daily support (S1, S2, S3) and resistance (R1, R2, R3) levels are plotted based on the CPR.
These levels act as potential reversal or breakout points, allowing traders to make decisions around key price points.
EMA (Exponential Moving Averages):
The script includes two customizable EMAs (default periods of 9 and 21). You can choose the source for these EMAs (open, high, low, or close).
The crossovers between EMA1 and EMA2 help identify potential trend reversals or momentum shifts.
Lagging Span:
The Lagging Span is plotted with a customizable displacement (default 26), which helps identify overall trend direction by comparing past price with the current price.
Light System:
A color-coded table provides a visual representation of market conditions:
Green indicates bullish signals (e.g., price above CPR, EMAs aligning positively).
Red indicates bearish signals (e.g., price below CPR, EMAs aligning negatively).
Yellow indicates neutral conditions, where there is no clear trend direction.
The system includes lights for CPR, EMA, Long Position, and Short Position, helping traders quickly assess whether the market is in a buying or selling opportunity.
Trading Strategies Using the Script
1. Forex Trading:
Trend-Following with EMAs: Use the EMA crossovers to capture trending markets in Forex. A green light for the EMA combined with a price above the daily or weekly pivot levels suggests a buying opportunity. Conversely, if the EMA light turns red and price falls below the CPR levels, look for shorting opportunities.
Reversal Strategy: Watch for price action near the daily S1/R1 levels. If price holds above S1 and the EMA is green, this could signal a reversal from support. The same applies to resistance levels.
2. Bitcoin Trading:
Momentum Breakouts: Bitcoin is known for its sharp moves. The script helps to identify breakouts from the CPR range. If the price breaks above the TC (Top Central Pivot) with bullish EMA alignment (green light), it could signal a strong uptrend.
Lagging Span Confirmation: Use the Lagging Span to confirm the trend direction. For Bitcoin's volatility, when the lagging span shows consistent alignment with the price and CPR, it often indicates continuation of the trend.
3. Commodities Trading:
Support/Resistance Bounce: Commodities such as gold and oil often react well to pivot levels. Look for price bouncing off S1 or R1 for potential entry points. A green CPR light along with price above the pivot range supports a bullish bias.
EMA Pullback Strategy: If price moves in a strong trend and pulls back to one of the EMAs, a green EMA light suggests re-entry on a pullback. If the EMA light is red and price breaks below the BC (Bottom Central Pivot), short positions could be considered.
4. Stocks Trading:
Long Position Strategy: For stocks, use the combination of the long position light turning green (price above TC and EMA alignment) as a signal to buy. This could be especially useful for riding bullish trends in growth stocks or during earnings seasons when volatility is high.
Short Position Strategy: If the short position light turns green, indicating price below BC and EMAs turning bearish, this could be an ideal setup for shorting overvalued stocks or during market corrections.
5. Options Trading:
Directional Bias for Options: The light system is particularly helpful for options traders. A green long position light provides a clear signal to buy call options, while a green short position light supports buying puts.
Pivot Breakout Strategy: Buy options (calls or puts) when the price breaks above resistance or below support, with confirmation from the CPR and EMA lights. This helps capture the sharp moves required for profitable options trades.
Conclusion
The S&R Precision Cloud script is a versatile tool for traders across markets, including Forex, Bitcoin, Commodities, Stocks, and Options. It combines critical technical elements like pivot ranges, support and resistance levels, EMAs, and the Lagging Span to provide a clear picture of market conditions. The intuitive light system helps traders quickly assess whether to take a long or short position, making it an excellent tool for both new and experienced traders.

Inside Candle StrategyIntroduction
The Inside Candle Breakout Strategy leverages the concept of inside candles as a primary signal for potential breakouts. Unlike common trend-following or scalping strategies, this method focuses on the volatility squeeze indicated by inside candles and aims to capture the momentum that follows these periods of consolidation. The strategy's originality lies in its specific integration of timeframes for signal detection and its application across diverse market conditions without relying on conventional trend indicators.
Strategy Description and Mechanics
Inside Candle Identification: At the heart of this strategy is the detection of inside candles, defined as candles fully contained within the range of the preceding candle. This pattern signifies a temporary balance between buyers and sellers, often preceding significant price movements. The strategy scans for these candles within a user-specified timeframe in the input section of the settings of the strategy, allowing for tailored signal generation based on individual trading preferences.
Entry Points and Market Entries: Upon identifying an inside candle and only once this candle closes, the strategy prepares to enter a trade in the direction of the breakout. Trades are executed in the timeframe selected on the chart, ensuring that entry points are aligned with real-time market movements. This process highlights the strategy's adaptability, making it suitable for various trading styles, from day trading to swing trading.
Overlay Indicator for Enhanced Market Analysis: Accompanying the breakout signals is an overlay indicator comprising two moving averages and a volatility cloud. This feature serves as a secondary tool for market analysis, offering insights into the prevailing market trend and volatility levels. While it doesn't influence the entry or exit signals directly, it provides traders with additional context for refining their decisions, enhancing the strategy's utility. This assistance tool is composed by one moving average and a second line which is calculated adding or subtracting the historical volatility of the asset on the moving average, depending on his momentum.
Strategy Results and Commitment to Realism
Backtesting Protocol: In our commitment to transparency and realism, backtesting results are derived from a dataset that ensures a sufficient number of trades (over 100) to validate the strategy's effectiveness. This approach underscores our dedication to providing traders with reliable and actionable insights.
Risk Management and Trade Sizing: Recognizing the importance of sustainable trading practices, the strategy incorporates strict risk management guidelines. Trades are sized to ensure that only a small percentage of equity is risked on a single trade, adhering to widely accepted risk tolerance levels. The initial account size for this script is set to 10000$.
Strategy Defaults and Justification: The default properties of the strategy, including the risk-reward ratio, average length for moving averages, and other parameters, are carefully chosen based on extensive testing and analysis. These settings represent a balanced approach, aiming to optimize the strategy's performance across a variety of market conditions.
Strategy Components:
- Inside Candles: An inside candle occurs when a candle's high and low are completely contained within the high and low of the previous candle. This pattern indicates a period of consolidation or indecision in the market, often preceding a significant price movement. The strategy detects inside candles based on the user-selected timeframe, allowing traders to capture potential breakouts.
Indicator Overlays:
- Moving Average: A simple moving average (SMA) is calculated over a user-defined length (`Average Length`), providing a dynamic baseline to gauge the market's direction. The strategy offers an option (`Show Moving Average`) to display or hide this moving average on the chart, giving traders control over the visual complexity.
- Volatility Measurement: Alongside the moving average, the strategy assesses market volatility using the standard deviation of the closing prices over the same period defined by the `Average Length`. The moving average is adjusted upwards or downwards by this volatility measure, creating a dynamic channel that reflects the current market conditions.
- Color Gradients for Volatility: The strategy uses a color gradient to fill the area between the moving average and its volatility-adjusted counterpart. This gradient visually represents the volatility level, transitioning from gray (low volatility) to a lighter shade (higher volatility), aiding in the assessment of market sentiment and volatility.
Trading Entries:
- Long Entry: A long position is triggered when the closing price exceeds the high of an inside candle, indicating potential bullish momentum. The strategy places a stop-loss at the low of the inside candle and sets a take-profit level based on the predefined risk-reward ratio (`RR Ratio`).
- Short Entry: Conversely, a short position is initiated when the closing price falls below the low of an inside candle, suggesting bearish pressure. A stop-loss is set at the high of the inside candle, with the take-profit level adjusted according to the risk-reward ratio.
Customization Settings:
- Timeframe: Traders can select the desired timeframe for inside candle detection, tailoring the strategy to fit various trading styles and time horizons.
- RR Ratio: The risk-reward ratio is adjustable, allowing traders to manage the potential risk and return of each trade according to their risk tolerance.
- Average Length: This setting determines the period over which the moving average and volatility are calculated, affecting the sensitivity of the strategy to price movements.
- Visual Settings: Users can customize the appearance of the strategy on their charts, including the colors of the moving average and volatility lines, as well as the line width, enhancing chart readability and personal preference adherence.

ATR DeltaThe ATR Delta indicator is based on the concept of Average True Range (ATR), which reflects the average price range over a specified period. By calculating the difference between current and previous ATR values, the ATR Delta provides valuable insights into volatility shifts in the market. This information can help traders identify periods of heightened or diminished price movement, enabling them to adjust their strategies accordingly.
The ATR Delta indicator consists of two main calculations:
-- ATR Calculation : The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated using the specified length parameter. It measures the average price range (including gaps) during that period. A larger ATR value indicates higher volatility, while a smaller value indicates lower volatility.
-- ATR Delta Calculation : The ATR Delta is calculated by subtracting the ATR value of the previous bar from the current ATR value. This calculation captures the change in volatility between the two periods, providing a measure of how volatility has evolved.
Positive ATR Delta values indicate an increase in volatility compared to the previous period. It suggests that price movements have expanded, potentially indicating a more active market. On the other hand, negative ATR Delta values indicate a decrease in volatility compared to the previous period. It suggests that price movements have contracted, potentially signaling a calmer or range-bound market.
The ATR Delta indicator uses coloration to visually represent the relationship between the ATR Delta, zero, and a signal line:
-- Green color is assigned when the ATR Delta is positive, above the signal line, and increasing. This coloration suggests a scenario of higher volatility, as the market is experiencing upward momentum in price swings.
-- Red color is assigned when the ATR Delta is negative, below the signal line, and decreasing. This coloration suggests a scenario of lower volatility, as the market is experiencing downward momentum in price swings.
-- Gray color is assigned for other cases when the ATR Delta and signal line relationship does not meet the above conditions.
These colors are reflected in the columns of the ATR Delta as well as the bar coloration.
The ATR Delta indicator includes a signal line, which acts as a reference for interpreting the ATR Delta values. The signal line is calculated as a moving average (EMA) of the ATR Delta over a specified length. It helps smooth out the ATR Delta fluctuations, providing a clearer indication of the underlying trend in volatility changes. When the ATR Delta crosses above the signal line, it may suggest a potential increase in volatility, indicating a market that is becoming more active. Conversely, when the ATR Delta crosses below the signal line, it may suggest a potential decrease in volatility, indicating a market that is becoming less active.
The coloration of the signal line in the ATR Delta indicator helps to differentiate between positive and negative values and provides further insight into market sentiment. When the signal line is positive, indicating increasing volatility, it is colored lime. This color choice reinforces the bullish sentiment and signifies potential opportunities for trend continuation or breakouts. On the other hand, when the signal line is negative, indicating decreasing volatility, it is colored fuchsia. This color choice highlights the bearish sentiment and suggests potential range-bound or consolidation periods. These colors are reflected in the background of the indicator.
The ATR Delta indicator offers several potential applications for traders:
-- Volatility Analysis : The ATR Delta is invaluable for understanding and analyzing volatility dynamics in the market. Traders can observe the changes in ATR Delta values and use them to assess the current level of price movement. This information can help determine the appropriate strategies and risk management approaches.
-- Breakout Strategies : Traders often use the ATR Delta to identify periods of increased volatility, which frequently accompany breakouts. By monitoring the ATR Delta, traders can anticipate potential price breakouts and adjust their entry and exit levels accordingly.
-- Trend Confirmation : Combining the ATR Delta with trend-following indicators allows traders to validate the strength of a trend. Higher ATR Delta values during an uptrend may indicate stronger momentum and a higher likelihood of continuation. Conversely, lower ATR Delta values during a downtrend may suggest a potential consolidation phase or trend reversal.
Limitations :
-- Lagging Indicator : The ATR Delta indicator is based on historical data and calculates the difference between current and previous ATR values. As a result, it may lag behind real-time market conditions. Traders should be aware of this delay and consider it when making trading decisions. It is advisable to combine the ATR Delta with other indicators or price action analysis for a more comprehensive assessment of market conditions.
-- Parameter Sensitivity : The ATR Delta indicator's effectiveness can be influenced by the selection of its parameters, such as the length of the ATR and signal line. Different market conditions may require adjustments to these parameters to better capture volatility changes. Traders should carefully test and optimize the indicator's parameters to align with the characteristics of the specific market or asset they are trading.
-- Market Regime Changes : The ATR Delta indicator assumes that volatility changes occur gradually. However, in rapidly changing market regimes or during news events, volatility can spike or drop abruptly, potentially rendering the indicator less effective. Traders should exercise caution and consider using additional tools or techniques to identify and adapt to such market conditions.
The ATR Delta indicator is a valuable tool for traders seeking to analyze and monitor volatility dynamics in the market. By calculating the difference between current and previous ATR values, it provides insights into changes in price movement and helps identify periods of increased or decreased volatility. Traders can leverage the ATR Delta to fine-tune their strategies, validate trend strength, and identify potential breakout opportunities. However, it is essential to recognize the limitations of the indicator, including its lagging nature and sensitivity to parameter selection. By combining the ATR Delta with other technical analysis tools and applying sound risk management practices, traders can enhance their decision-making process and potentially improve their trading outcomes.
SuperSmoother MA OscillatorSuperSmoother MA Oscillator - Ehlers-Inspired Lag-Minimized Signal Framework
Overview
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator is a crossover and momentum detection framework built on the pioneering work of John F. Ehlers, who introduced digital signal processing (DSP) concepts into technical analysis. Traditional moving averages such as SMA and EMA are prone to two persistent flaws: excessive lag, which delays recognition of trend shifts, and high-frequency noise, which produces unreliable whipsaw signals. Ehlers’ SuperSmoother filter was designed to specifically address these flaws by creating a low-pass filter with minimal lag and superior noise suppression, inspired by engineering methods used in communications and radar systems.
This oscillator extends Ehlers’ foundation by combining the SuperSmoother filter with multi-length moving average oscillation, ATR-based normalization, and dynamic color coding. The result is a tool that helps traders identify market momentum, detect reliable crossovers earlier than conventional methods, and contextualize volatility and phase shifts without being distracted by transient price noise.
Unlike conventional oscillators, which either oversimplify price structure or overload the chart with reactive signals, the SuperSmoother MA Oscillator is designed to balance responsiveness and stability. By preprocessing price data with the SuperSmoother filter, traders gain a signal framework that is clean, robust, and adaptable across assets and timeframes.
Theoretical Foundation
Traditional MA oscillators such as MACD or dual-EMA systems react to raw or lightly smoothed price inputs. While effective in some conditions, these signals are often distorted by high-frequency oscillations inherent in market data, leading to false crossovers and poor timing. The SuperSmoother approach modifies this dynamic: by attenuating unwanted frequencies, it preserves structural price movements while eliminating meaningless noise.
This is particularly useful for traders who need to distinguish between genuine market cycles and random short-term price flickers. In practical terms, the oscillator helps identify:
Early trend continuations (when fast averages break cleanly above/below slower averages).
Preemptive breakout setups (when compressed oscillator ranges expand).
Exhaustion phases (when oscillator swings flatten despite continued price movement).
Its multi-purpose design allows traders to apply it flexibly across scalping, day trading, swing setups, and longer-term trend positioning, without needing separate tools for each.
The oscillator’s visual system - fast/slow lines, dynamic coloration, and zero-line crossovers - is structured to provide trend clarity without hiding nuance. Strong green/red momentum confirms directional conviction, while neutral gray phases emphasize uncertainty or low conviction. This ensures traders can quickly gauge the market state without losing access to subtle structural signals.
How It Works
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator builds signals through a layered process:
SuperSmoother Filtering (Ehlers’ Method)
At its core lies Ehlers’ two-pole recursive filter, mathematically engineered to suppress high-frequency components while introducing minimal lag. Compared to traditional EMA smoothing, the SuperSmoother achieves better spectral separation - it allows meaningful cyclical market structures to pass through, while eliminating erratic spikes and aliasing. This makes it a superior preprocessing stage for oscillator inputs.
Fast and Slow Line Construction
Within the oscillator framework, the filtered price series is used to build two internal moving averages: a fast line (short-term momentum) and a slow line (longer-term directional bias). These are not plotted directly on the chart - instead, their relationship is transformed into the oscillator values you see.
The interaction between these two internal averages - crossovers, separation, and compression - forms the backbone of trend detection:
Uptrend Signal : Fast MA rises above the slow MA with expanding distance, generating a positive oscillator swing.
Downtrend Signal : Fast MA falls below the slow MA with widening divergence, producing a negative oscillator swing.
Neutral/Transition : Lines compress, flattening the oscillator near zero and often preceding volatility expansion.
This design ensures traders receive the information content of dual-MA crossovers while keeping the chart visually clean and focused on the oscillator’s dynamics.
ATR-Based Normalization
Markets vary in volatility. To ensure the oscillator behaves consistently across assets, ATR (Average True Range) normalization scales outputs relative to prevailing volatility conditions. This prevents the oscillator from appearing overly sensitive in calm markets or too flat during high-volatility regimes.
Dynamic Color Coding
Color transitions reflect underlying market states:
Strong Green : Bullish alignment, momentum expanding.
Strong Red : Bearish alignment, momentum expanding.
These visual cues allow traders to quickly gauge trend direction and strength at a glance, with expanding colors indicating increasing conviction in the underlying momentum.
Interpretation
The oscillator offers a multi-dimensional view of price dynamics:
Trend Analysis : Fast/slow line alignment and zero-line interactions reveal trend direction and strength. Expansions indicate momentum building; contractions flag weakening conditions or potential reversals.
Momentum & Volatility : Rapid divergence between lines reflects increasing momentum. Compression highlights periods of reduced volatility and possible upcoming expansion.
Cycle Awareness : Because of Ehlers’ DSP foundation, the oscillator captures market cycles more cleanly than conventional MA systems, allowing traders to anticipate turning points before raw price action confirms them.
Divergence Detection : When oscillator momentum fades while price continues in the same direction, it signals exhaustion - a cue to tighten stops or anticipate reversals.
By focusing on filtered, volatility-adjusted signals, traders avoid overreacting to noise while gaining early access to structural changes in momentum.
Strategy Integration
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator adapts across multiple trading approaches:
Trend Following
Enter when fast/slow alignment is strong and expanding:
A fast line crossing above the slow line with expanding green signals confirms bullish continuation.
Use ATR-normalized expansion to filter entries in line with prevailing volatility.
Breakout Trading
Periods of compression often precede breakouts:
A breakout occurs when fast lines diverge decisively from slow lines with renewed green/red strength.
Exhaustion and Reversals
Oscillator divergence signals weakening trends:
Flattening momentum while price continues trending may indicate overextension.
Traders can exit or hedge positions in anticipation of corrective phases.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Apply the oscillator on higher timeframes to confirm the directional bias.
Use lower timeframes for refined entries during compression → expansion transitions.
Technical Implementation Details
SuperSmoother Algorithm (Ehlers) : Recursive two-pole filter minimizes lag while removing high-frequency noise.
Oscillator Framework : Fast/slow MAs derived from filtered prices.
ATR Normalization : Ensures consistent amplitude across market regimes.
Dynamic Color Engine : Aligns visual cues with structural states (expansion and contraction).
Multi-Factor Analysis : Combines crossover logic, volatility context, and cycle detection for robust outputs.
This layered approach ensures the oscillator is highly responsive without overloading charts with noise.
Optimal Application Parameters
Asset-Specific Guidance:
Forex : Normalize with moderate ATR scaling; focus on slow-line confirmation.
Equities : Balance responsiveness with smoothing; useful for capturing sector rotations.
Cryptocurrency : Higher ATR multipliers recommended due to volatility.
Futures/Indices : Lower frequency settings highlight structural trends.
Timeframe Optimization:
Scalping (1-5min) : Higher sensitivity, prioritize fast-line signals.
Intraday (15m-1h) : Balance between fast/slow expansions.
Swing (4h-Daily) : Focus on slow-line momentum with fast-line timing.
Position (Daily-Weekly) : Slow lines dominate; fast lines highlight cycle shifts.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending environments with moderate-to-high volatility.
Assets with steady liquidity and clear cyclical structures.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Flat/choppy conditions with little directional bias.
Ultra-short timeframes (<1m), where noise dominates.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence : Combine with liquidity zones, order blocks, and volume-based indicators for confirmation.
Risk Management : Place stops beyond slow-line thresholds or ATR-defined zones.
Dynamic Trade Management : Use expansions/contractions to scale position sizes or tighten stops.

Simple Pivot Zones (Error-free) — v11. Core Idea
The indicator we built is a “pivot-based zone detector with breakout signals.”
It does three things:
1. Finds important swing highs and swing lows in price (pivots).
2. Creates support and resistance zones around those pivots using volatility (ATR).
3. Watches price action to see if those zones get broken, then gives signals.
________________________________________
2. What is a Pivot?
A pivot high happens when the price makes a local peak — a bar is higher than the bars around it.
A pivot low happens when the price makes a local dip — a bar is lower than the bars around it.
These are natural turning points in the market, showing where buyers or sellers had strong control temporarily. Traders often use them to draw support (pivot lows) and resistance (pivot highs).
________________________________________
3. Why Use ATR for Zones?
ATR (Average True Range) measures the average volatility of a market. Instead of drawing just a flat line at the pivot, we create a zone above and below it, sized according to ATR.
Example:
• If ATR is 20 points and zone size is 0.5, then the zone extends 10 points above and below the pivot level.
This turns thin “lines” into thicker areas of interest. Real markets don’t respect razor-thin levels, but zones are more realistic.
________________________________________
4. How Support & Resistance Zones Work
• Resistance zones are created at pivot highs. They mark where sellers were strong before.
• Support zones are created at pivot lows. They mark where buyers were strong before.
Over time, these zones extend forward until the price interacts with them.
________________________________________
5. Breakout Detection
The indicator checks whether the price closes beyond the last pivot high or low:
• If price closes above the last pivot high, it means buyers have broken resistance.
• If price closes below the last pivot low, it means sellers have broken support.
These moments are significant because they often trigger trend continuation.
________________________________________
6. Parameters It Uses
1. Pivot Length – how many bars to look back and forward to confirm a pivot. A higher length makes pivots less frequent but stronger.
2. ATR Length and Multiplier – defines the size of the zones (wider zones in more volatile markets).
3. Max Zones to Keep – avoids clutter by keeping only the most recent zones.
4. Colors & Styling – helps traders visually separate bullish and bearish zones.
________________________________________
7. How It Helps Traders
• Visual clarity: Instead of guessing support and resistance, the chart automatically highlights them.
• Dynamic adjustment: Zones adapt to volatility using ATR, making them useful in both calm and volatile markets.
• Breakout signals: Traders get notified when price actually breaks key levels, instead of reacting late.
• Cleaner charts: Instead of dozens of hand-drawn lines, the tool manages zones for you, deleting old ones.
________________________________________
8. The Logic in One Sentence
It finds important swing highs and lows, turns them into support/resistance zones scaled by volatility, and alerts you when the market breaks through them.
________________________________________
👉 In practice, this helps traders spot where the market is likely to bounce or break, and gives a framework to plan trades — for example, buying on bullish breakouts or selling on bearish breakouts.

Chartlense Dashboard (Data, Trend & Levels)Chartlense Dashboard (Data, Trend & Levels)
Overview
This dashboard is designed to solve two common problems for traders: chart clutter and the manual drawing of support and resistance levels . It consolidates critical data from multiple indicators into a clean table overlay and automatically plots the most relevant S&R levels based on recent price action. The primary goal is to provide a clear, at-a-glance overview of the market's structure and data.
It offers both a vertical and horizontal layout to fit any trader's workspace.
Key Concepts & Calculations Explained
This indicator is more than a simple collection of values; it synthesizes data to provide unique insights. Here’s a conceptual look at how its core components work:
Automatic Support & Resistance (Pivot-Based):
The dashed support (green) and resistance (red) lines are not manually drawn. They are dynamically calculated based on the most recent confirmed pivot highs and pivot lows . A pivot is a foundational concept in technical analysis that identifies potential turning points in price action.
How it works: A pivot high is a candle whose `high` is higher than a specific number of candles to its left and right (the "Pivot Lookback" is set to 5 by default in the settings). A pivot low is the inverse. By automatically identifying these confirmed structural points, the script visualizes the most relevant levels of potential supply and demand on the chart.
Relative Volume (RVOL):
This value in the table is not the standard volume. It measures the current bar's volume against its recent average (specifically, `current volume / 10-period simple moving average of volume`).
Interpretation: A reading above 2.0 (indicated by green text) suggests that the current volume is more than double the recent average. This technique is used to identify significant volume spikes, which can add conviction to breakouts or signal potential market climaxes.
Consolidated Data for Context:
Other values displayed in the table, such as the EMAs (9, 20, 200) , Bollinger Bands (20, 2) , RSI (14) , MACD (12, 26, 9) , and VWAP (on intraday charts), use their standard industry calculations. They are included to provide a complete contextual picture without needing to load each indicator separately, saving valuable chart space.
How to Use This in Your Trading
This dashboard is designed as a tool for confluence and context , not as a standalone signal generator. Here are some ways to integrate it into your analysis workflow:
As a Trend Filter: Before considering a trade, quickly glance at the EMAs and the MACD values in the table. A price above the key EMAs and a positive MACD can serve as a quick confirmation that you are aligned with the dominant trend.
To Validate Breakouts: When the price is approaching a key Resistance level (red pivot line), watch the RVOL value . A reading above 2.0 on the breakout candle adds significant confirmation that the move is backed by strong interest. The same logic applies to breakdowns below a support level.
To Spot Potential Reversals: Confluence is key. For example, if the price is testing a Support level (green pivot line) AND the RSI in the table is approaching oversold levels (e.g., near 30), it can signal a higher probability reversal setup.
About This Indicator
This indicator was developed by the team at ChartLense to help traders declutter their charts and focus on the data that matters. We believe in making complex analysis more accessible and organized. We hope this free tool is a valuable addition to your trading process.

Capiba Ultimate Suite (RSI, MA Cloud & Volatility)
🇬🇧 English
Summary
This indicator, Capiba Ultimate Suite, is a powerful compilation of various open-source technical analysis tools, refined and integrated into a single, cohesive, and functional package. The goal is to provide a complete system with clear entry and exit signals, ideal for traders operating in trending and volatile markets.
The combination of a custom momentum oscillator (Ultimate RSI), a moving average cloud for trend definition, and a volatility oscillator for range analysis transforms this script into a true trading suite.
Disclaimer: This indicator is most effective in markets with a defined trend (bullish or bearish) and may generate less reliable signals during periods of strong consolidation.
Components and How to Use
Ultimate RSI with Crossover Signals (Entries and Exits)
What it is: A variation of the classic RSI, designed to be more reactive to price movements.
Entry Signals (Buy): A green arrow (▲) appears below the candle when the Ultimate RSI line crosses above its momentum line (EMA). This is a signal of a potential start of an upward move.
Exit Signals (Sell): A red arrow (▼) appears above the candle when the Ultimate RSI crosses below its momentum line. This is a signal of potential weakening or trend reversal.
Moving Average Cloud (Trend Filter)
What it is: A cloud formed by the space between a short-term moving average (default 55) and a long-term one (default 233).
How to use for signal validation:
Uptrend: When the cloud is green (Short MA > Long MA), buy signals (▲) are strengthened. Sell signals can be seen as partial profit-taking.
Downtrend: When the cloud is red (Short MA < Long MA), sell signals (▼) are strengthened. Buy signals should be treated with extreme caution as they are against the main trend.
Candle Coloring (Quick Momentum Reading)
Lime Green: Strong bullish momentum (RSI > 50 and above its EMA).
Red: Strong bearish momentum (RSI < 50 and below its EMA).
Blue: Overbought level reached.
Yellow: Oversold level reached.
Volatility Ruler (Breakout Analysis)
What it is: The green (high) and red (low) lines mark the range of the last 'N' candles. The Vol: X.XX label on the right measures the current volatility against its historical average.
How to use:
Vol < 1.00: Contracting volatility ("Squeeze"). The market is "coiling the spring." Watch for an impending breakout of the range lines.
Vol > 1.00: Expanding volatility. Confirms the strength of a breakout that has already occurred. Very high values may indicate exhaustion.
Use the ruler to identify false breakouts: a candle closing outside the line but with a very low Vol value is more likely to be a false signal.

How to use it (playbooks)
A) Daily scan workflow
Run on Daily for your VN watchlist.
Turn Composite (Σ) alert on with Σ≥2 or ≥3 to reduce noise.
When a bar fires Σ (or a fav combo like STL + BB↑), drop to 60-min to time entries.
B) Breakout quality check
Look for 52W together with BB↑, TAC, and OBV.
If WER/ND appear near highs → downgrade the breakout.
C) Spring/UTAD reversals
If SPR fires near major support and RBd confirms → long bias with stop below spring low.
If UTD + WER/RS↑ near resistance → short/fade with stop above UTAD high.
D) Accumulation basing
During bases, you want CLS, OBV, TGV, STL, NR7.
A pocket pivot (PIV) can be your early add; manage risk below base lows.
Tuning tips
Too many signals? Raise stealthVolZ to 5.5–6, evrVolZ to 3.5, use Σ≥3.
Fast movers? Lower bbwZthr to −1.0 (less strict squeeze), keep trend filter on.
Illiquid tickers? Keep MAD z-scores on, increase lookbacks (e.g., lenZ=120).
Limitations & good habits
First lenZ bars on a new symbol are less reliable (incomplete z-window).
Some ideas (VWAP magnet, close auction spikes, ETF/foreign flows, options skew) need intraday/external feeds — not included here.
Pine can’t “screen” across the whole market; set alerts or cycle your watchlist.
Quick troubleshooting
Compilation errors: make sure you’re on Pine v6; don’t nest functions in if blocks; each var int must be declared on its own line.
No shapes firing: check trend filter (maybe price is below SMA and you’re waiting for bullish signals), and verify thresholds aren’t too strict.
Hurst Exponent Adaptive Filter (HEAF) [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - Hurst Exponent Adaptive Filter (HEAF)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Hurst Exponent Adaptive Filter (HEAF) is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to dynamically adjust moving average calculations based on real time market regimes detected through the Hurst Exponent. The intention behind the creation of this indicator was not a buy/sell indicator but rather a tool to help sharpen traders ability to distinguish regimes in the market mathematically rather than guessing. By analyzing price persistence, it identifies whether the market is trending, mean-reverting, or exhibiting random walk behavior, automatically adapting the MA length to provide more responsive alerts in volatile conditions and smoother outputs in stable ones. This helps traders avoid false signals in choppy markets and capitalize on strong trends, making it ideal for adaptive trading strategies across various timeframes and assets.
Unlike traditional moving averages, HEAF incorporates fractal dimension analysis via the Hurst Exponent to create a self-tuning filter that evolves with market conditions. Traders benefit from visual cues like color coded regimes, adaptive bands for volatility channels, and an information panel that suggests appropriate strategies, enhancing decision making without constant manual adjustments by the user.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dynamic MA length adjustment using Hurst Exponent for regime-aware filtering, reducing lag in trends and noise in ranges.
Integrated market regime classification (trending, mean-reverting, random) with visual and alert-based notifications.
Customizable color themes and adaptive bands that incorporate ATR for volatility-adjusted channels.
Built-in information panel providing real-time strategy recommendations based on detected regimes.
Power sensitivity parameter to fine-tune adaptation aggressiveness, allowing personalization for different trading styles.
Support for multiple MA types (EMA, SMA, WMA) within an adaptive framework.
🔧 Core Components
Hurst Exponent Calculation: Computes the fractal dimension of price series over a user-defined lookback to detect market persistence or anti-persistence.
Adaptive Length Mechanism: Maps Hurst values to MA lengths between minimum and maximum bounds, using a power function for sensitivity control.
Moving Average Engine: Applies the chosen MA type (EMA, SMA, or WMA) to the adaptive length for the core filter line.
Adaptive Bands: Creates upper and lower channels using ATR multiplied by a band factor, scaled to the current adaptive length.
Regime Detection: Classifies market state with thresholds (e.g., >0.55 for trending) and triggers alerts on regime changes.
Visualization System: Includes gradient fills, regime-colored MA lines, and an info panel for at-a-glance insights.
🔥 Key Features
Regime-Adaptive Filtering: Automatically shortens MA in mean-reverting markets for quick responses and lengthens it in trends for smoother signals, helping traders stay aligned with market dynamics.
Custom Alerts: Notifies on regime shifts and band breakouts, enabling timely strategy adjustments like switching to trend-following in bullish regimes.
Visual Enhancements: Color-coded MA lines, gradient band fills, and an optional info panel that displays market state and trading tips, improving chart readability.
Flexible Settings: Adjustable lookback, min/max lengths, sensitivity power, MA type, and themes to suit various assets and timeframes.
Band Breakout Signals: Highlights potential overbought/oversold conditions via ATR-based channels, useful for entry/exit timing.
🎨 Visualization
Main Adaptive MA Line: Plotted with regime-based colors (e.g., green for trending) to visually indicate market state and filter position relative to price.
Adaptive Bands: Upper and lower lines with gradient fills between them, showing volatility channels that widen in random regimes and tighten in trends.
Price vs. MA Fills: Color-coded areas between price and MA (e.g., bullish green above MA in trending modes) for quick trend strength assessment.
Information Panel: Top-right table displaying current regime (e.g., "Trending Market") and strategy suggestions like "Follow trends" or "Trade ranges."

Normalizes to a 0-1 value, where >0.55 indicates trending, <0.45 mean-reverting, and in-between random.
Length Adaptation:
Maps normalized Hurst to an MA length via a power function, clamping between min and max.
Applies the selected MA type to close prices using this dynamic length.
Visualization and Signals:
Plots the MA with regime colors, adds ATR-based bands, and fills areas for trend strength.
Triggers alerts on regime changes or band crosses, with the info panel suggesting strategies like momentum riding in trends.
💡 Note:
For optimal results, backtest settings on your preferred assets and combine with volume or momentum indicators. Remember, no indicator guarantees profits—use with proper risk management. Access premium features and support at PhenLabs.
Candle Channel█ OVERVIEW
The "Candle Channel" indicator is a versatile technical analysis tool that plots a price channel based on the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of candlestick midpoints. The channel bands, calculated based on candlestick volatility, form dynamic support and resistance levels that adapt to price movements. The script generates signals for reversals from the bands and SMA breakouts, making it useful for both short-term and long-term traders. By adjusting the SMA length, the channel can vary in nature—from a wide channel encapsulating price movement to narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands. The channel width can be further customized using a scaling parameter, allowing adaptation to different trading styles and markets.
█ MECHANISM
Band Calculation
The indicator is based on the following calculations:
Candlestick Midpoint: Calculated as the arithmetic average of the candle’s high and low prices: (high + low) / 2.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): The average of candlestick midpoints over a specified length (default: 20 candles), forming the channel’s centerline.
Average Candle Height: Calculated as the average difference between the high and low prices (high - low) over the same SMA length, serving as a measure of market volatility.
Band Scaling: The user specifies a percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%), which is multiplied by the average height to create an offset. The upper band is SMA + offset, and the lower band is SMA - offset.Example: For an average candle height of 10 points and 200% scaling, the offset is 20 points, meaning the bands are ±20 points from the SMA.
Channel Characteristics: The SMA length determines the channel’s dynamics. Shorter SMA values (10–30) create a wide channel that contains price movement, ideal for scalping or short-term trading. Longer SMA values (above 30, e.g., 50–100) transform the channel into narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, suitable for longer-term analysis. Band scaling further adjusts the channel width to match market volatility.
Signals
Reversal from Bands: Signals are generated when the price closes outside the band (above the upper or below the lower) and then returns to the channel, indicating a potential trend reversal.
SMA Breakout: Signals are generated when the price crosses the SMA upward (bullish signal) or downward (bearish signal), suggesting potential trend changes.
Visualization
Centerline: The SMA of candlestick midpoints, displayed as a thin line.
Channel Bands: Upper and lower channel boundaries, with customizable colors.
Fill: Options include a gradient (smooth color transition between bands) or solid color. The fill can also be disabled for greater clarity.
█ FEATURES AND SETTINGS
SMA Length: Determines the moving average period (default: 20). Values of 10–30 are suitable for a wide channel containing price movement, ideal for short-term timeframes. Longer values (e.g., 50–100) create narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, better suited for higher timeframes.
Band Scaling: Percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%). Adjusts the channel width to match market volatility—smaller values (e.g., 50–100%) for narrower bands, larger values (e.g., 200–300%) for wider channels.
Fill Type: Gradient, solid, or no fill, allowing customization to user preferences.
Colors: Options to change the colors of bands, fill, and signals for better readability.
Signals: Options to enable/disable reversal signals from bands and SMA breakout signals.
█ HOW TO USE
Add the script to your chart in TradingView by clicking "Add to Chart" in the Pine Editor.
Adjust input parameters in the script settings:
SMA Length: Set to 10–30 for a wide channel containing price movement, suitable for scalping or short-term trading. Set above 30 (e.g., 50–100) for narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands.
Band Scaling: Adjust the channel width to market volatility. Smaller values (50–100%) for tighter support/resistance bands, larger values (200–300%) for wider channels containing price movement.
Fill Type and Colors: Choose a gradient for aesthetics or a solid fill for clarity.
Analyze signals:
Reversal Signals: Triangles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate potential reversal points.
