REJECTION DETECTOR🔥 CTR (Candle Terjepit - Rejection)
This indicator is specifically designed to detect Rejection Candles, which are moments when the price rejects a certain level and has the potential to form a strong reversal or rapid reaction — an important signal for scalpers and price action traders.
💡 Key Concept:
Rejection is a form of market reaction to areas of liquidity, support-resistance, or order block zones. Candles with long tails and small bodies indicate an imbalance between buyers and sellers, providing an early indication that the price may soon reverse.
⚙️ Key Features
🔍 Automatic Rejection Candle Detection (Buy & Sell)
🧠 Body-to-tail ratio filter for more precise signal validation
🎨 Customizable candle colors and appearance
📊 Suitable for all pairs and timeframes

Smart Flow Tracker [The_lurker]
Smart Flow Tracker (SFT): Advanced Order Flow Tracking Indicator
Overview
Smart Flow Tracker (SFT) is an advanced indicator designed for real-time tracking and analysis of order flows. It focuses on detecting institutional patterns, massive orders, and potential reversals through analysis of lower timeframes (Lower Timeframe) or live ticks. It provides deep insights into market behavior using a multi-layered intelligent detection system and a clear visual interface, giving traders a competitive edge.
SFT focuses on trade volumes, directions, and frequencies to uncover unusual activity that may indicate institutional intervention, massive orders, or manipulation attempts (traps).
Indicator Operation Levels
SFT operates on three main levels:
1. Microscopic Monitoring: Tracks every trade at precise timeframes (down to one second), providing visibility not available in standard timeframes.
2. Advanced Statistical Analysis: Calculates averages, deviations, patterns, and anomalies using precise mathematical algorithms.
3. Behavioral Artificial Intelligence: Recognizes behavioral patterns such as hidden institutional accumulation, manipulation attempts and traps, and potential reversal points.
Key Features
SFT features a set of advanced functions to enhance the trader's experience:
1. Intelligent Order Classification System: Classifies orders into six categories based on size and pattern:
- Standard: Normal orders with typical size.
- Significant 💎: Orders larger than average by 1.5 times.
- Major 🔥: Orders larger than average by 2.5 times.
- Massive 🐋: Orders larger than average by 3 times.
- Institutional 🏛️: Consistent patterns indicating institutional activity.
- Reversal 🔄: Large orders indicating direction change.
- Trap ⚠️: Patterns that may be price traps.
2. Institutional Patterns Detection: Tracks sequences of similar-sized orders, detects organized institutional activity, and is customizable (number of trades, variance ratio).
3. Reversals Detection: Compares recent flows with previous ones, detects direction shifts from up to down or vice versa, and operates only on large orders (Major/Massive/Institutional).
4. Traps Detection: Identifies sequences of large orders in one direction, followed by an institutional order in the opposite direction, with early alerts for false moves.
5. Flow Delta Bar: Displays the difference between buy and sell volumes as a percentage for balance, with instant updates per trade.
6. Dynamic Statistics Panel: Displays overall buy and sell ratios with real-time updates and interactive colors.
How It Works and Understanding
SFT relies on logical sequential stages for data processing:
A. Data Collection: Uses the `request.security_lower_tf()` function to extract data from a lower timeframe (like 1S) even on a higher timeframe (like 5D). For each time unit, it calculates:
- Adjusted Volume: Either normal volume or "price-weighted volume" (hlc3 * volume) based on user choice.
- Trade Direction: Compared to previous close (rise → buy, fall → sell).
B. Building Temporary Memory: Maintains a dynamic list (sizeHistory) of the last 100 trade sizes, continuously calculating the moving average (meanSize).
C. Intelligent Classification: Compares each new trade to the average:
- > 1.5 × average → Significant.
- > 2.5 × average → Major.
- > 3.0 × average → Massive.
- Institutional Patterns Check: A certain number of trades (e.g., 5) with a specified variance ratio (±5%) → Institutional.
D. Advanced Detection:
- Reversal: Compares buy/sell totals in two consecutive periods.
- Trap: Sequence of large trades in one direction followed by an opposite institutional trade.
E. Display and Alerts: Results displayed in an automatically updated table, with option to enable alerts for notable events.

Smart Flow Tracker (SFT): مؤشر متقدم لتتبع تدفقات الأوامر
نظرة عامة
Smart Flow Tracker (SFT) مؤشر متقدم مصمم لتتبع وتحليل تدفقات الأوامر في الوقت الفعلي. يركز على كشف الأنماط المؤسسية، الأوامر الضخمة، والانعكاسات المحتملة من خلال تحليل الأطر الزمنية الأقل (Lower Timeframe) أو التيك الحي. يوفر رؤية عميقة لسلوك السوق باستخدام نظام كشف ذكي متعدد الطبقات وواجهة مرئية واضحة، مما يمنح المتداولين ميزة تنافسية.
يركز SFT على حجم الصفقات، اتجاهها، وتكرارها لكشف النشاط غير العادي الذي قد يشير إلى تدخل مؤسسات، أوامر ضخمة، أو محاولات تلاعب (فخاخ).
مستويات عمل المؤشر
يعمل SFT على ثلاثة مستويات رئيسية:
1. المراقبة المجهرية: يتتبع كل صفقة على مستوى الأطر الزمنية الدقيقة (حتى الثانية الواحدة)، مما يوفر رؤية غير متوفرة في الأطر الزمنية العادية.
2. التحليل الإحصائي المتقدم: يحسب المتوسطات، الانحرافات، الأنماط، والشذوذات باستخدام خوارزميات رياضية دقيقة.
3. الذكاء الاصطناعي السلوكي: يتعرف على أنماط سلوكية مثل التراكم المؤسسي المخفي، محاولات التلاعب والفخاخ، ونقاط الانعكاس المحتملة.
الميزات الرئيسية
يتميز SFT بمجموعة من الوظائف المتقدمة لتحسين تجربة المتداول:
1. نظام تصنيف الأوامر الذكي: يصنف الأوامر إلى ست فئات بناءً على الحجم والنمط:
- Standard (قياسي)**: أوامر عادية بحجم طبيعي.
- Significant 💎 (مهم)**: أوامر أكبر من المتوسط بـ1.5 ضعف.
- Major 🔥 (كبير)**: أوامر أكبر من المتوسط بـ2.5 ضعف.
- Massive 🐋 (ضخم)**: أوامر أكبر من المتوسط بـ3 أضعاف.
- Institutional 🏛️ (مؤسسي)**: أنماط متسقة تشير إلى نشاط مؤسسي.
- Reversal 🔄 (انعكاس)**: أوامر كبيرة تشير إلى تغيير اتجاه.
- Trap ⚠️ (فخ)**: أنماط قد تكون فخاخًا سعرية.
2. كشف الأنماط المؤسسية: يتتبع تسلسل الأوامر المتشابهة في الحجم، يكشف النشاط المؤسسي المنظم، وقابل للتخصيص (عدد الصفقات، نسبة التباين).
3. كشف الانعكاسات: يقارن التدفقات الأخيرة بالسابقة، يكشف تحول الاتجاه من صعود إلى هبوط أو العكس، ويعمل فقط على الأوامر الكبيرة (Major/Massive/Institutional).
4. كشف الفخاخ: يحدد تسلسل أوامر كبيرة في اتجاه واحد، يليها أمر مؤسسي في الاتجاه المعاكس، مع تنبيه مبكر للحركات الكاذبة.
5. شريط دلتا التدفق: يعرض الفرق بين حجم الشراء والبيع كنسبة مئوية للتوازن، مع تحديث فوري لكل صفقة.
6. لوحة إحصائيات ديناميكية: تعرض نسبة الشراء والبيع الإجمالية مع تحديث لحظي وألوان تفاعلية.
طريقة العمل والفهم
يعتمد SFT على مراحل منطقية متسلسلة لمعالجة البيانات:
أ. جمع البيانات: يستخدم دالة `request.security_lower_tf()` لاستخراج بيانات من إطار زمني أدنى (مثل 1S) حتى على إطار زمني أعلى (مثل 5D). لكل وحدة زمنية، يحسب:
- الحجم المعدّل: إما الحجم العادي (volume) أو "الحجم المرجّح بالسعر" (hlc3 * volume) حسب الاختيار.
- اتجاه الصفقة: مقارنة الإغلاق الحالي بالسابق (ارتفاع → شراء، انخفاض → بيع).
ب. بناء الذاكرة المؤقتة: يحتفظ بقائمة ديناميكية (sizeHistory) لآخر 100 حجم صفقة، ويحسب المتوسط المتحرك (meanSize) باستمرار.
ج. التصنيف الذكي: يقارن كل صفقة جديدة بالمتوسط:
- > 1.5 × المتوسط → Significant.
- > 2.5 × المتوسط → Major.
- > 3.0 × المتوسط → Massive.
- فحص الأنماط المؤسسية: عدد معين من الصفقات (مثل 5) بنسبة تباين محددة (±5%) → Institutional.
د. الكشف المتقدم:
- الانعكاس: مقارنة مجموع الشراء/البيع في فترتين متتاليتين.
- الفخ: تسلسل صفقات كبيرة في اتجاه واحد يتبعها صفقة مؤسسية معاكسة.
هـ. العرض والتنبيه: عرض النتائج في جدول محدّث تلقائيًا، مع إمكانية تفعيل تنبيهات للأحداث المميزة.

Institutional AbsorptionHighlights potential zones where institutional participants may be absorbing aggressive buying or selling pressure.
It analyzes candle structure and volume to detect possible bullish and bearish absorption events, providing a visual cue for traders studying market imbalance and liquidity dynamics.
The script compares each candle’s wick–body ratio and volume relative to its moving average.
A bullish absorption setup occurs when strong volume appears after a sharp downward move with long lower wicks, while bearish absorption occurs after upward moves with long upper wicks, suggesting the presence of large counter-orders.
+ Features
Detects bullish and bearish absorption candles.
Customizable wick to body ratio and volume multiple thresholds.
Optional filter to require candle color alignment with trend (green/red).
Option to ignore tiny body (doji-like) candles.
+ How to Use
Adjust wick–body ratio, volume multiplier, and lookback length under “Conditions (Absorption)”.
Enable “Require candle color” to strengthen directional context.
Use alerts to receive notifications when new absorption signals appear.
+ Notes
This tool aims to visualize possible absorption behavior, not confirm institutional activity.
Combine it with your broader market structure, volume, or order flow analysis for a more comprehensive analysis.
Aibuyzone Vector Strategy - Floating DashboardVector Strategy – Floating Dashboard
The Vector Strategy is a visual trading-analysis tool designed to highlight strong directional candles that may represent impulsive moves in the market. It combines candle-structure analysis, volatility expansion, volume conditions, and trend filters into a single clear visual display.
Core Logic
Identifies candles where the body makes up a significant portion of the full bar range, suggesting strong directional intent.
Uses an ATR (Average True Range) expansion filter to confirm that the current candle’s range is larger than normal volatility.
Optionally applies a wick-imbalance requirement to favor bars showing a clear directional bias.
Can include a volume spike filter, marking candles where volume exceeds a moving average multiple.
Trend and Momentum Filters
Local trend: Defined by a fast and slow EMA pair to show short-term bias.
Higher-timeframe trend: Optionally aligns with an EMA from a higher timeframe to confirm broader momentum.
Momentum: RSI filter avoids generating signals in heavily overbought or oversold conditions.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Option
When enabled, the script checks for a simple three-bar fair-value-gap structure in the direction of the potential signal, acting as an additional confirmation filter.
Signals and Visuals
Plots fast and slow EMAs to visualize the underlying trend.
Displays up/down shapes when qualifying vector-candle conditions occur.
Optional labels show “Vector Long” or “Vector Short” at the candle where conditions align.
Includes alert conditions for both long and short setups.
Floating Dashboard
A compact floating panel summarizes the most recent signal and market context:
Current signal state (Long / Short / Neutral)
Trend bias (Bullish / Bearish / Flat)
RSI reading
Body-to-range percentage
Volume-spike confirmation
Practical Use
This tool can assist traders in identifying strong impulsive candles aligned with a trend filter.
It is meant to complement a complete trading strategy, not to be used in isolation.
Traders may adjust thresholds such as ATR multiple, body-percentage, or RSI range based on the instrument’s volatility and personal risk tolerance.
Important Notice
This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only.
It does not provide financial advice, recommendations, or guaranteed results.
Market conditions vary, and past performance does not ensure future outcomes.

DRACO Tomas Delta (Custom/Monthly)🐉 DRACO Delta SessionBox (Custom / Monthly)
Overview
The DRACO Delta SessionBox is an advanced visual and analytical tool designed to measure and display cumulative buying and selling pressure (Δ — delta) within a user-defined time window, such as a specific custom date range, a recurring monthly period, or the entire current month.
It visually represents market accumulation or distribution phases by calculating an approximate delta — the imbalance between bullish and bearish volume — and then aggregates it inside a dynamic “box” that spans only the selected time window.
Core Concept
Delta in this context is an approximation of the real order-flow delta (buy vs sell volume difference).
Since TradingView doesn’t provide raw tick-by-tick trade direction data, this indicator uses a proxy formula based on OHLC and volume data:
Δ per bar
=
Volume
×
(
Close
−
Open
)
max
(
High
−
Low
,
Tick Size
)
Δ per bar=Volume×
max(High−Low,Tick Size)
(Close−Open)
This gives a very effective approximation of intrabar directional pressure — whether volume was dominated by buyers (Δ > 0) or sellers (Δ < 0).
Modes
The indicator can operate in three distinct modes:
🕒 Custom DateTime
The user manually sets an exact date & time range (From – To).
The box only measures delta and volume accumulation within this window.
Ideal for analyzing specific events, like FOMC weeks, quarterly earnings, or macro periods.
📆 Monthly Window
The user selects start and end days of the month (e.g. 5–20).
The same window repeats automatically every month.
Useful for identifying recurring accumulation or distribution cycles within months.
🧭 Whole Month
Automatically measures and visualizes delta for the entire current calendar month.
The box resets when a new month begins.
Provides a macro-level view of monthly directional bias.
Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).

FluxVector Liquidity Universal Trendline FluxVector Liquidity Trendline FFTL
Summary in one paragraph
FFTL is a single adaptive trendline for stocks ETFs FX crypto and indices on one minute to daily. It fires only when price action pressure and volatility curvature align. It is original because it fuses a directional liquidity pulse from candle geometry and normalized volume with realized volatility curvature and an impact efficiency term to modulate a Kalman like state without ATR VWAP or moving averages. Add it to a clean chart and use the colored line plus alerts. Shapes can move while a bar is open and settle on close. For conservative alerts select on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Major FX pairs index futures large cap equities liquid crypto top ETFs
• Timeframes. One minute to daily
• Default demo used in the publication. SPY on 30min
• Purpose. Reduce false flips and chop by gating the line reaction to noise and by using a one bar projection
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. Directional Liquidity Pulse plus Volatility Curvature plus Impact Efficiency drives an adaptive gain for a one dimensional state
• Failure mode addressed. One or two shock candles that break ordinary trendlines and saw chop in flat regimes
• Testability. All windows and gains are inputs
• Portable yardstick. Returns use natural log units and range is bar high minus low
• Protected scripts. Not used. Method disclosed plainly here
Method overview in plain language
Base measures
• Return basis. Natural log of close over prior close. Average absolute return over a window is a unit of motion
Components
• Directional Liquidity Pulse DLP. Measures signed participation from body and wick imbalance scaled by normalized volume and variance stabilized
• Volatility Curvature. Second difference of realized volatility from returns highlights expansion or compression
• Impact Efficiency. Price change per unit range and volume boosts gain during efficient moves
• Energy score. Z scores of the above form a single energy that controls the state gain
• One bar projection. Current slope extended by one bar for anticipatory checks
Fusion rule
Weighted sum inside the energy score then logistic mapping to a gain between k min and k max. The state updates toward price plus a small flow push.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion and order when close is below trend and the one bar projection is above the trend
• Short suggestion and flip when close is above trend and the one bar projection is below the trend
• WAIT is implicit when neither condition holds
• In position states end on the opposite condition
What you will see on the chart
• Colored trendline teal for rising red for falling gray for flat
• Optional projection line one bar ahead
• Optional background can be enabled in code
• Alerts on price cross and on slope flips
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Price source. Close by default
Logic
• Flow window. Typical range 20 to 80. Higher smooths the pulse and reduces flips
• Vol window. Typical range 30 to 120. Higher calms curvature
• Energy window. Typical range 20 to 80. Higher slows regime changes
• Min gain and Max gain. Raise max to react faster. Raise min to keep momentum in chop
UI
• Show 1 bar projection. Colors for up down flat
Properties visible in this publication

• Recalculate after order is filled off
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims
• Intrabar reminder. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close
• Strategy uses standard candles only
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Sudden gaps and thin liquidity can still produce fast flips
• Very quiet regimes reduce contrast. Use larger windows and lower max gain

SMC by ASHY-JAYASHY-JAY "Smart Money" refers to funds under the control of institutional investors, central banks, funds, market makers, and other financial entities. Ordinary people recognize investments made by those who have a deep understanding of market performance and possess information typically inaccessible to regular investors as "Smart Money".
Consequently, when market movements often diverge from expectations, traders identify the footprints of smart money. For example, when a classic pattern forms in the market, traders take short positions. However, the market might move upward instead. They attribute this contradiction to smart money and seek to capitalize on such inconsistencies in their trades.
The "Smart Money Concept" (SMC) is one of the primary styles of technical analysis that falls under the subset of "Price Action". Price action encompasses various subcategories, with one of the most significant being "Supply and Demand", in which SMC is categorized.
The SMC method aims to identify trading opportunities by emphasizing the impact of large traders (Smart Money) on the market, offering specific patterns, techniques, and trading strategies.
🟣Key Terms of Smart Money Concept (SMC)
• Market Structure (Trend)
• Change of Character (ChoCh)
• Break of Structure (BoS)
• Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
• Imbalance (IMB)
• Inefficiency (IFC)
• Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• Liquidity
• Premium and Discount
Buy vs Sell Liquidity + Difference (Bottom Right)Script Summary (Short Notes)
⚙️ Purpose
Tracks and displays Buy Volume vs Sell Volume difference during the day, based on candle direction.
Useful for spotting liquidity imbalance between buyers and sellers.
📊 How It Works
Volume Classification
If close > open → counts volume as Buy Volume
If close < open → counts volume as Sell Volume
Aggregation Timeframe
You can select a timeframe (1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 30 mins)
Script recalculates data from that aggregation level.
Daily Reset
At the start of a new trading day, totals reset to zero.
Cumulative Calculation
Adds all buy/sell volumes as the day progresses.
Calculates:
Total Volume
Difference (BUY − SELL)
Percentages (%)
CHOCH + FVG Signals [30m Optimized]CHOCH + FVG Signals
🎯 What It Does:
This script automatically scans your chart for high-probability Smart Money Concepts (SMC) setups based on two key institutional trading principles:
Change of Character (CHOCH) – A shift in market structure signaling potential reversal
Fair Value Gap (FVG) – An imbalance zone where price moved too fast, often acting as support/resistance
When both conditions align, the script plots clear Buy (▲) and Sell (▼) signals directly on your chart — ideal for intraday trading on the 30-minute timeframe (but works on any timeframe).
✅ Key Features:
🔹 Visual Fair Value Gaps
Green shaded zones = Bullish FVGs (potential support)
Red shaded zones = Bearish FVGs (potential resistance)
Toggle on/off in settings
🔹 Smart CHOCH Detection
Detects breaks of recent swing highs/lows with proper context
Avoids false signals by confirming prior price structure
🔹 Clear Trade Signals
Green ▲ below bar = Buy signal (Bullish CHOCH + FVG confluence)
Red ▼ above bar = Sell signal (Bearish CHOCH + FVG confluence)
🔹 Customizable Filters
Option to require FVG for a signal (recommended for higher accuracy)
Adjust sensitivity via swing detection settings (default optimized for 30m)
🔹 Alert-Ready
Built-in alert conditions for instant notifications on TradingView mobile/desktop
⚙️ How to Use:
Apply to a 30-minute chart (e.g., EURUSD, Gold, NAS100, BTC)
Wait for at least 50–100 bars to load (so swing points appear)
Look for:
A green triangle (▲) → consider long entry near FVG support
A red triangle (▼) → consider short entry near FVG resistance
Confirm with price action: Wait for a strong candle close or rejection at the FVG zone
Use stop-loss below/above the FVG and target recent liquidity pools
💡 Pro Tip: Best used during high-volume sessions (e.g., London Open 7–10 AM UTC, NY Open 12:30–3:30 PM UTC).
🛠️ Settings (Inputs):
Show Fair Value Gaps
✅ Enabled
Visualize FVG zones
Max FVG History
100 bars
Prevent chart clutter
Require FVG for Signal?
✅ Enabled
Higher-quality setups (disable to test CHOCH-only)
⚠️ Important Notes:
This is a signal generator, not financial advice. Always manage risk.
Works best in trending or breaking markets — avoid during low-volatility ranges.
FVGs may get filled (tested) before price continues — patience improves results.
Backtest on historical data before live trading.
📣 Ideal For:
Retail traders learning Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
Price action traders seeking institutional-level confluence
Intraday scalpers & swing traders on 30m–1H timeframes
Volume Surprise [LuxAlgo]The Volume Surprise tool displays the trading volume alongside the expected volume at that time, allowing users to spot unexpected trading activity on the chart easily.
The tool includes an extrapolation of the estimated volume for future periods, allowing forecasting future trading activity.
🔶 USAGE
We define Volume Surprise as a situation where the actual trading volume deviates significantly from its expected value at a given time.
Being able to determine if trading activity is higher or lower than expected allows us to precisely gauge the interest of market participants in specific trends.
A histogram constructed from the difference between the volume and expected volume is provided to easily highlight the difference between the two and may be used as a standalone.
The tool can also help quantify the impact of specific market events, such as news about an instrument. For example, an important announcement leading to volume below expectations might be a sign of market participants underestimating the impact of the announcement.
Like in the example above, it is possible to observe cases where the volume significantly differs from the expected one, which might be interpreted as an anomaly leading to a correction.
🔹 Detecting Rare Trading Activity
Expected volume is defined as the mean (or median if we want to limit the impact of outliers) of the volume grouped at a specific point in time. This value depends on grouping volume based on periods, which can be user-defined.
However, it is possible to adjust the indicator to overestimate/underestimate expected volume, allowing for highlighting excessively high or low volume at specific times.
In order to do this, select "Percentiles" as the summary method, and change the percentiles value to a value that is close to 100 (overestimate expected volume) or to 0 (underestimate expected volume).
In the example above, we are only interested in detecting volume that is excessively high, we use the 95th percentile to do so, effectively highlighting when volume is higher than 95% of the volumes recorded at that time.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Choosing the Right Periods
Our expected volume value depends on grouping volume based on periods, which can be user-defined.
For example, if only the hourly period is selected, volumes are grouped by their respective hours. As such, to get the expected volume for the hour 7 PM, we collect and group the historical volumes that occurred at 7 PM and average them to get our expected value at that time.
Users are not limited to selecting a single period, and can group volume using a combination of all the available periods.
Do note that when on lower timeframes, only having higher periods will lead to less precise expected values. Enabling periods that are too low might prevent grouping. Finally, enabling a lot of periods will, on the other hand, lead to a lot of groups, preventing the ability to get effective expected values.
In order to avoid changing periods by navigating across multiple timeframes, an "Auto Selection" setting is provided.
🔹 Group Length
The length setting allows controlling the maximum size of a volume group. Using higher lengths will provide an expected value on more historical data, further highlighting recurring patterns.
🔹 Recommended Assets
Obtaining the expected volume for a specific period (time of the day, day of the week, quarter, etc) is most effective when on assets showing higher signs of periodicity in their trading activity.
This is visible on stocks, futures, and forex pairs, which tend to have a defined, recognizable interval with usually higher trading activity.
Assets such as cryptocurrencies will usually not have a clearly defined periodic trading activity, which lowers the validity of forecasts produced by the tool, as well as any conclusions originating from the volume to expected volume comparisons.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Maximum number of records in a volume group for a specific period. Older values are discarded.
Smooth: Period of a SMA used to smooth volume. The smoothing affects the expected value.
🔹 Periods
Auto Selection: Automatically choose a practical combination of periods based on the chart timeframe.
Custom periods can be used if disabling "Auto Selection". Available periods include:
- Minutes
- Hours
- Days (can be: Day of Week, Day of Month, Day of Year)
- Months
- Quarters
🔹 Summary
Method: Method used to obtain the expected value. Options include Mean (default) or Percentile.
Percentile: Percentile number used if "Method" is set to "Percentile". A value of 50 will effectively use a median for the expected value.
🔹 Forecast
Forecast Window: Number of bars ahead for which the expected volume is predicted.
Style: Style settings of the forecast.
Long/Short Ratio Aggregated (Lite)Description — Long/Short Ratio Aggregated (Lite)
This indicator provides a cross-exchange, open-interest-weighted aggregation of the Long/Short Ratio (LSR) for the cryptocurrency asset currently on your chart. It is designed to unify fragmented derivatives positioning data from multiple major exchanges into a single normalized signal that more accurately reflects real market sentiment and positioning bias across platforms.
Concept and Originality
Traditional Long/Short Ratio indicators are exchange-specific. They show how many traders are long versus short, but only within the scope of one venue (e.g., Binance or Bybit). This makes them incomplete and often misleading for directional bias analysis, since different exchanges host different participant profiles, levels of leverage, and quote-currency exposures.
This script addresses that limitation by:
Aggregating LSR data across multiple exchanges (Binance and Bybit).
Weighting each ratio by Open Interest (OI) — ensuring exchanges with higher open positions contribute proportionally more to the overall sentiment.
Normalizing all contract types (USDT, USDC, and USD-margined) into a consistent base-currency format.
This step corrects for structural differences between coin- and stablecoin-margined instruments, producing a true like-for-like comparison.
The result is a globalized Long/Short Ratio, normalized by exposure and liquidity, suitable for multi-venue orderflow estimation and directional bias assessment.
Note for moderators: I know there are already other scripts out there, but they may not support Open Interest Weighting or the same number of pairs. They also might not support proper normalization like in my script.
Calculation Methodology
For each supported exchange and contract type:
The script retrieves the latest Long/Short Ratio (LSR) and Open Interest (OI) values.
OI is used as the weighting factor, creating a proportional representation of positioning volume.
Values denominated in USD are normalized into base currency using close-price adjustment.
The final value is computed as:
Weighted LSR = (Σ (LSRᵢ × OIᵢ)) / (Σ OIᵢ)
This ensures that if, for example, Binance has twice the open interest of Bybit, its LSR contributes twice as much to the total weighted sentiment.
Interpretation
Value > 1.0 → Market participants are net-long (bullish bias).
Value < 1.0 → Market participants are net-short (bearish bias).
Strength of deviation from 1.0 indicates positioning imbalance magnitude.
Because the ratio is OI-weighted, large players or heavily margined exchanges influence the output proportionally more than smaller, low-volume venues — making this metric a better reflection of true market positioning rather than isolated retail sentiment.
Usage and Applications
Use this indicator as a component in:
Orderflow and sentiment confirmation, alongside price action and volume.
Funding rate correlation studies.
Intraday reversals or exhaustion zones, when combined with volatility or OI delta metrics.
Overlaying or combining this indicator with open interest change, cumulative volume delta, or funding rate divergence allows traders to build a high-resolution understanding of positioning shifts and crowd behavior.
Notes
The “Lite” version is optimized for execution and accessibility, focusing on accuracy while staying within Pine Script’s computational limits.
Exchange data availability may vary by symbol; unsupported pairs automatically return na and are automatically not included in the weighted calculation.
In summary:
This indicator transforms fragmented, exchange-specific Long/Short Ratio into a unified, OI-weighted global sentiment measure — a foundational tool for traders seeking to quantify derivative-side orderflow bias with cross-venue accuracy.
ICT PDA - Gold & BTC (QuickScalp Bias/FVG/OB/OTE + Alerts)What this script does
This indicator implements a complete ICT Price Delivery Algorithm (PDA) workflow tailored for XAUUSD and BTCUSD. It combines HTF bias, OTE zones, Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, micro-BOS confirmation, and liquidity references into a single, cohesive tool with early and final alerts. The script is not a mashup for cosmetic plotting; each component feeds the next decision step.
Why this is original/useful
Symbol-aware impulse filter: A dynamic displacement threshold kTune adapts to Gold/BTC volatility (body/ATR vs. per-symbol factor), reducing noise on fast markets without hiding signals.
Scalping preset: “Quick Clean” mode limits drawings to the most recent bars and keeps only the latest FVG/OB zones for a clear chart.
Three display modes: Full, Clean, and Signals-Only to match analysis vs. execution.
Actionable alerts: Early heads-up when price enters OTE in the HTF bias direction, and Final alerts once mitigation + micro-break confirm the setup.
How it works (high-level logic)
HTF Bias: Uses request.security() on a user-selected timeframe (e.g., 240m) and EMA filter. Bias = close above/below HTF EMA.
Dealing Range & OTE: Recent swing high/low (pivot length configurable) define the range; OTE (62–79%) boxes are drawn contextually for up/down ranges.
Displacement: A candle’s body/ATR must exceed kTune and break short-term structure (displacement up/down).
FVG: 3-bar imbalance (bull: low > high ; bear: high < low ). Latest gaps are tracked and extended.
Order Blocks: Last opposite candle prior to a qualifying displacement that breaks recent highs/lows; zones are drawn and extended.
Entry & Alerts:
Long: Bullish bias + price inside buy-OTE + mitigation of a bullish FVG or OB + micro BOS up → “PDA Long (Final)”.
Short: Bearish bias + price inside sell-OTE + mitigation of a bearish FVG or OB + micro BOS down → “PDA Short (Final)”.
Early Alerts: Trigger as soon as price enters OTE in the direction of the active bias.
Inputs & controls (key ones)
Bias (HTF): timeframe minutes, EMA length.
Structure: ATR length, Impulse Threshold (Body/ATR), swing pivot length, OB look-back.
OTE/FVG/OB/LP toggles: show/hide components.
Auto-Tune: per-symbol factors for Gold/BTC + manual tweak.
Display/Performance: View Mode, keep-N latest FVG/OB, limit drawings to last N bars.
Recommended usage (scalping)
Timeframes: Execute on M1–M5 with HTF bias from 120–240m.
Defaults (starting point): ATR=14, Impulse Threshold≈1.6; Gold factor≈1.05, BTC factor≈0.90; Keep FVG/OB=2; last 200–300 bars; View Mode=Clean.
Workflow: Wait for OTE in bias direction → see mitigation (FVG/OB) → confirm with micro BOS → manage risk to nearest liquidity (prev-day H/L or recent swing).
Alerts available
“PDA Early Long/Short”
“PDA Long (Final)” / “PDA Short (Final)”

Fair Value Gap ZonesDescription
This script automatically detects and highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on any chart and timeframe.
It identifies bullish and bearish imbalance zones using candle-to-candle price displacement and shades them visually on the chart for easy reference.
Bullish FVGs are marked with dark green zones, showing areas where price may later return before continuing upward.
Bearish FVGs are shaded in light red, indicating potential retracement zones in downtrends.
All zones extend forward automatically, updating dynamically as new candles form.
Designed for traders who use Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or ICT-style analysis, this tool helps visualize market inefficiencies and potential reaction points with clear, minimal visuals.

Order Flow RSI - Price / CVD / OIOrder Flow RSI blends three powerful market perspectives — Price , Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) , and Open Interest (OI) — into one unified RSI-style oscillator.
It reveals momentum and imbalance across these data streams and highlights situations where participation, liquidity, and positioning disagree — moments that often precede reversals.
What it does
The indicator converts:
Price → RSI (classic momentum),
CVD → RSI (buy/sell pressure balance),
OI → RSI (position expansion/contraction)
…then plots all three RSIs together on the same 0–100 scale.
A fourth Consensus RSI (average of any two or all three) can optionally be shown to simplify the view.
Core logic

Modes: Continuous (default, smooth line), Anchored (resets each session), Rolling window.
Open Interest – pulled automatically from the symbol’s “_OI” feed; aligns to chart timeframe for real-time flow.
RSI calculation – standard RSI applied to each data stream, optionally smoothed (SMA / EMA / RMA / WMA / VWMA).
Signals – optional background highlights when:
All three RSIs are overbought (red) or oversold (green), or
Any pair show opposite extremes (e.g., price overbought + OI oversold).
Consensus RSI – arithmetic mean of the selected RSIs, summarizing overall market tone.
Inputs overview
CVD settings: anchor period, lower-TF delta, mode, rolling length
RSI lengths: separate for price, CVD, OI
Smoothing: type + period applied to all RSIs at once
Consensus: choose which RSIs to average
Signals: enable/disable each combination; optional alerts
Levels: adjustable OB/MID/OS (default 70 / 50 / 30)
Visuals: fill between active RSIs, background highlights, level lines, colors in Style tab
How to read it
All 3 overbought (red): broad exhaustion → possible correction
All 3 oversold (green): broad depletion → possible bounce
Opposite pairs: divergence between price and participation
Price↑ but OI↓ (red) → weak rally, fading participation
Price↓ but CVD↑ (green) → hidden accumulation
Combine with structure and volume profile for confirmation.
Notes
Works best on assets with full CVD + OI data (futures, BTC, etc.).
Use Continuous CVD for smooth RSI, Anchored for session analysis.
Smoothing 2–5 EMA is a good starting point to reduce noise.
All styling (colors, line types, thickness) is adjustable in the Style tab.
Limitations & caveats
CVD requires accurate tick/volume/delta data from your data feed. Performance may differ across instruments.
OI availability varies by exchange / symbol. Where OI is absent, pairwise OI signals are not evaluated.
This indicator is a tool — it generates signals of interest, not guaranteed profitable trades. Backtest and combine with your risk rules.
Smoothing introduces lag; longer smoothing reduces noise but delays signals.
Order Flow RSI bridges traditional momentum analysis and order-flow context — giving a multi-dimensional view of when markets are truly stretched or quietly reloading.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Daytrade Forex Scalper TwinPulse Auction Timer IndicatorWhat this indicator is
TwinPulse Auction Timer is a multi component execution aid designed for liquid markets. It looks for two families of opportunities
Breakouts that leave a compression area after a fresh sweep
Reversals that trigger after a sweep with strong wick polarity
It does not try to predict future prices. It measures present auction conditions with transparent rules and shows you when those conditions align. You get a simple table that says LONG SHORT or WAIT, optional session shading, clean entry and exit level visuals, and alerts you can wire to your workflow.
Why it is different
Most tools show a single signal. TwinPulse combines several independent signals into an Edge Score that you can tune. The components are
• Pulse. A signed measure of wick asymmetry with candle body direction
• Compression. Current true range compared with an average range
• Sweep timer. Bars elapsed since the most recent sweep of a prior high or low
• Bias. Direction of a higher timeframe candle
• Regime. Efficiency ratio and the relation of micro to macro volatility
• Location. Distance from the daily anchored VWAP
• Session. London and New York filter by time windows
Each component is visible in the inputs and in the table so you can understand why a suggestion appears. The script uses request.security() with lookahead off in all calls so it does not peek into the future. Shapes may move while a bar is open since price is still forming. They stop moving when the bar closes.
What you will see on the chart
• L and S shapes on entry bars
• An Exit shape at the price where a stop or the runner target would have been hit
• Four horizontal lines while a trade is active
Entry
Stop
TP1 at one R
TP2 at the runner target expressed in R
• Labels anchored to each line so you can instantly read Entry SL TP1 and TP2 with current values
• Optional shading during your session windows
• Optional daily VWAP line

How it works in detail
Pulse
For each bar the script measures up wick minus down wick divided by range and multiplies that by the sign of the candle body. The result is averaged with pulse_len. Positive numbers indicate aggressive buying. Negative numbers indicate aggressive selling. You control the minimum absolute value with pulse_thr.
Compression
Compression is the ratio of current range to an average range. You can choose the range basis. HL SMA uses simple high minus low smoothed by range_len. ATR uses classic True Range smoothed by atr_len. Values below comp_thr indicate a coil.
Sweeps and the timer
A sweep occurs when price trades beyond the highest high or lowest low seen in the previous sweep_len bars. A strict sweep requires a close back inside that prior range. The timer measures how many bars have elapsed since the last sweep. Breakout setups require the timer to exceed timer_thr.
Bias on a confirmation timeframe
A higher timeframe candle is read with confirm_tf. If close is above open bias is UP. If close is below open bias is DOWN. This keeps breakouts aligned with the prevailing drift.
Regime filters
Efficiency ratio measures the straight line change over the sum of absolute bar to bar changes over er_len. It rises in trendy conditions and falls in noise. Minimum efficiency is controlled by er_min.
Micro to macro volatility ratio compares a short lookback average range with a longer lookback average range using your chosen basis. For breakouts you usually want micro volatility to be near or above macro hence mvr_min. For reversals you often want micro volatility that is not overheated relative to macro hence mvr_max_rev.
VWAP distance gate
Daily anchored VWAP is rebuilt from the open of each session. The script computes the absolute distance from VWAP in units of your average range and requires that distance to exceed vwap_dist_thr when use_vwap_gate is true. This keeps entries away from the mean.
Edge Score
Each gate contributes a weight that you control. The script sums weights of the satisfied gates and divides by the sum of all weights to produce an Edge percent for long and an Edge percent for short. You can then require a minimum Edge percent using edge_min_pct. This turns the indicator into a step by step checklist that you can tune to your taste.
Using the indicator step by step
Choose markets and timeframes
The logic is designed for liquid instruments. Major currency pairs, index futures and cash index CFDs, and the most liquid crypto pairs work well. On intraday use one to fifteen minutes for signals and fifteen to sixty minutes for confirmation. On swing use one hour to one day for signals and one day for confirmation.
Decide on entry mode
Breakouts require a compression area and a sweep timer. Reversals require a strict sweep and a strong pulse. If you are unsure leave the default which allows both.
Pick a range basis
For FX and crypto HL SMA is often stable. For indices and single name equities with gaps ATR can adapt better. If results look too reactive increase the window. If results are too slow reduce it.
Tune regime filters
If you trade trend continuation raise er_min and mvr_min. If you trade counter rotation lower them and rely on the reversal path with the strict sweep condition.
Set the VWAP gate
Enabling it helps you avoid entries at the mean. Push the threshold higher on range bound days. Reduce it in strong trend days.
Table driven decision
Watch Action and the Edge percents. If the script says WAIT you can read Pulse and Compression to see what is missing. Often the best trades appear when both Edge percents are well separated and your session switch is ON.
Use the visuals
When a suggestion triggers you will see entry stop and targets. You can mirror the levels in your own workflow or use alerts.
Consider bar close
Signals are computed in real time. For a strict process you can wait until the bar closes to reduce noise.
Inputs explained with quick guidance
Setup
Signal TF chooses where the logic is computed. Leave blank to use the chart.
Confirm TF sets the higher timeframe for bias.
Session filter restricts signals to the London and New York windows you specify.
Invert flips long and short. It is useful on inverse instruments.
Logic options
Entry mode allows Breakouts Reversals or Both.
Average range basis selects HL SMA or ATR.
ATR length is used when ATR is selected.
Pulse source can be Regular OHLC or Heikin Ashi. Heikin Ashi smooths noisy series, but the script still runs on regular bars and you should publish and use it on standard candles to respect the platform guidance.
Core numeric settings
Sweep lookback controls the size of the liquidity pool targeted by the sweep condition.
Pulse window smooths the wick polarity measure.
Average range window controls your base range when you use HL SMA.
Pulse threshold sets the minimum polarity required.
Compression threshold sets the maximum current range relative to average to consider the market coiled.
Expansion timer bars sets how much time has passed since the last sweep before you allow a breakout.
Regime filters
Efficiency ratio length and minimum value keep you out of aimless drift.
Micro and Macro range lengths feed the micro to macro ratio.
Minimum micro to macro for breakouts and maximum micro to macro for reversals steer the two entry families.
VWAP gate and distance threshold keep you away from the mean.
Levels and trade management visuals
Runner target in R sets TP2 as a multiple of initial risk.
Stop distance as average range multiple sets initial risk size for the visuals.
Move stop to entry after one R touch turns on break even logic once price has traveled one risk unit.
Trail buffer as R fraction uses the last sweep as an anchor and keeps a dynamic stop at a chosen fraction of R beyond it.
Cooldown after exit prevents immediate re entries.
Edge Score
Weights for pulse compression timer bias efficiency ratio micro to macro VWAP gate and session let you align the checklist with your style.
Minimum Edge percent to suggest applies a final filter to LONG or SHORT suggestions.
UI
Table and markers switch the compact dashboard and the shapes.
TP and SL lines and labels draw and name each level.
TP1 partial label percent is printed in the TP1 label for clarity.
Session shading helps with focus.
Daily VWAP line is optional.
Alerts
The script provides alerts for Long Short Exit and for Edge percent crossing the threshold on either side. Use them to drive notifications or to sync with webhooks and your broker integration. Alerts trigger in real time and will repaint during a bar. For conservative use trigger on bar close.

These are starting points only. Your instrument and timeframe will require small adjustments.
Limitations and honest warnings
No indicator is perfect. TwinPulse will mark attractive conditions that do not always lead to profitable trades. During economic releases or very thin liquidity the assumptions behind compression and sweeps may fail. In strong gap environments the HL SMA basis may lag while ATR may overreact. Heikin Ashi pulse can help in choppy markets but it will lag during sharp reversals. Session times use the exchange time of your chart. If you switch symbol or exchange verify the windows.
Edge percent is not a probability of profit. It is the fraction of satisfied gates with your chosen weights. Two traders can set different weights and see different Edge readings on the same bar. That is the design. The score is a guide that helps you act with discipline.
This indicator does not place orders or manage real risk. The lines and labels show a model entry a model stop and two model targets built from the average range at entry and from recent swing points. Use them as references and not as hard rules. Always test on historical data and demo first. Past results do not guarantee anything in the future.
Credits and originality
All code in this publication is original and written for this indicator. The concept of the efficiency ratio originates from Perry Kaufman. The use of a daily anchored volume weighted average price is a standard industry tool. The specific combination of pulse from wick polarity strict sweep timing compression and the tunable Edge Score is unique to this script at the time of publication. If you reuse parts of the open source code in your own work remember to credit the author and contribute meaningful improvements.
How to read the table at a glance
Action reflects your current state.
IN LONG or IN SHORT appears while a trade is active.
LONG or SHORT appears when conditions for entry are met and the Edge threshold is satisfied.
WAIT appears when at least one gate is missing.
Session shows ON during your chosen windows.
Bias shows the color of the confirmation candle.
Pulse is the smoothed polarity number.
Comp shows current range divided by the average range. Values below one mean compression.
Edge L percent and Edge S percent show the long and short checklists as percents.
Final thoughts
Markets move because orders accumulate at certain prices and at certain times. The indicator tries to measure two things that often matter at those turning points. One is the existence of a hidden imbalance revealed by wick polarity and by sweeps of prior extremes. The other is the presence of energy stored in a coil that can release in the direction of a drift. Neither force guarantees profit. Together they can improve your selection and your timing.
Use the defaults for a few days so you learn the personality of the signals. After that adjust one group at a time. Start with the session filter and the Edge threshold. Then tune compression and the timer. Finally adjust the regime filters. Keep notes. You will learn which weights matter for your market and timeframe. The result is a process you can apply with consistency.

Aladin Pair Trading System v1Aladin Pair Trading System v1
What is This Indicator?
The Aladin Pair Trading System is a sophisticated tool designed to help traders identify profitable opportunities by comparing two related stocks that historically move together. Think of it as finding when one twin is running ahead or lagging behind the other - these moments often present trading opportunities as they tend to return to moving together.
Who Should Use This?
Beginners: Learn about statistical arbitrage and pair trading
Intermediate Traders: Execute mean-reversion strategies with confidence
Advanced Traders: Fine-tune parameters for optimal pair relationships
Portfolio Managers: Implement market-neutral strategies
💡 What is Pair Trading?
Imagine two ice cream shops next to each other. They usually have similar customer traffic because they're in the same area. If one day Shop A is packed while Shop B is empty, you might expect this imbalance to correct itself soon.
Pair trading works the same way:
You find two stocks that normally move together (like TCS and Infosys)
When one stock moves too far from the other, you trade expecting them to realign
You buy the lagging stock and sell the leading stock
When they come back together, you profit from both sides
Key Features
1. Z-Score Analysis
What it is: A statistical measure showing how far the price relationship has deviated from normal
What it means:
Z-Score near 0 = Normal relationship
Z-Score at +2 = Stock A is expensive relative to Stock B (Sell A, Buy B)
Z-Score at -2 = Stock A is cheap relative to Stock B (Buy A, Sell B)
2. Multiple Timeframe Analysis
Long-term Z-Score (300 bars): Shows the big picture trend
Short-term Z-Score (100 bars): Shows recent movements
Signal Z-Score (20 bars): Generates quick trading signals
3. Statistical Validation
The indicator checks if the pair is suitable for trading:
Correlation (must be > 0.7): Confirms the stocks move together
1.0 = Perfect positive correlation
0.7 = Strong correlation
Below 0.7 = Warning: pair may not be reliable
ADF P-Value (should be < 0.05): Tests if the relationship is stable
Low value = Good for pair trading
High value = Relationship may be random
Cointegration: Confirms long-term equilibrium relationship
YES = Pair tends to revert to mean
NO = Pair may drift apart permanently

How to Use (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Choose Your Pair
Add the indicator to your chart (this becomes Stock A)
In settings, select Stock B (the comparison stock)
Choose stocks from the same sector for best results
Step 2: Verify Pair Quality
Check the Statistics Table (top-right corner):
✅ Correlation > 0.70 (Green = Good)
✅ ADF P-value < 0.05 (Green = Good)
✅ Cointegrated = YES (Green = Good)
If all three are green, the pair is suitable for trading!
Step 3: Wait for Signals
BUY SIGNAL (Green Arrow Up)
Z-Score crosses above -2.0
Action: Buy Stock A, Sell Stock B
Exit: When Z-Score returns to 0
SELL SIGNAL (Red Arrow Down)
Z-Score crosses below +2.0
Action: Sell Stock A, Buy Stock B
Exit: When Z-Score returns to 0
Step 4: Risk Management
Yellow Zone: Monitor only
Blue Zone: Prepare for entry
Green/Red Zone: Active trading zone
Beyond ±3.0: Maximum risk - use caution
⚠️ Important Warnings
Not All Pairs Work: Always check the statistics table first
Market Conditions Matter: Correlation can break during market stress
Use Stop Losses: Set stops at Z-Score ±3.5 or beyond
Position Sizing: Trade both legs with appropriate hedge ratios
Transaction Costs: Factor in brokerage and slippage for both stocks
Example Trade
Scenario: TCS vs INFOSYS
Correlation: 0.85 ✅
Z-Score: -2.3 (TCS is cheap vs INFY)
Action to be taken:
Buy 1lot of TCS Future
Sell 1lot of INFOSYS Future
Expected Outcome:
As Z-Score moves toward 0, TCS outperforms INFOSYS
Close both positions when Z-Score crosses 0
Profit from the convergence

Wyckoff Effort vs. Result📌 Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) – Visualizing Supply & Demand Imbalance with Volume Confirmation
📖 Overview
The Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) indicator is designed to help traders interpret market behavior through the lens of volume vs. price movement — a foundational concept in Richard Wyckoff’s methodology.
This tool aims to highlight moments where the “effort” (volume) is not in proportion to the “result” (price movement) — giving insight into potential accumulation or distribution events.
By detecting high-volume candles and classifying them based on their price direction, the indicator visualizes zones where smart money might be active .
⚙️ How It Works
1. Effort Accumulation (High Volume Down Bar):
• When a candle closes lower than it opens (down bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential absorption of selling pressure (effort to push down met by buying).
• These candles are colored red and the open level is plotted, acting as a potential support or re-test zone.
2. Effort Distribution (High Volume Up Bar):
• When a candle closes higher than it opens (up bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential distribution (effort to push up absorbed by sellers).
• These candles are colored green and the open level is plotted , acting as a potential resistance or rejection zone.
3. Average Volume Calculation:
• The script calculates a simple moving average (SMA) of volume over a user-defined lookback period.
• If current volume exceeds the average multiplied by a set threshold, it’s treated as a high-effort bar .
🧪 Inputs
Input Description
Average Volume Lookback - Number of bars used to calculate the volume average
High Volume Multiplier. - Multiplier to define what qualifies as “high volume”
🖥️ Visual Output
• 🔴 Red candles = High volume on a down bar → possible accumulation
• 🟢 Green candles = High volume on an up bar → possible distribution
• 📉 Horizontal lines at bar open price mark the potential zones where effort occurred
These zones can serve as:
• Areas of support/resistance
• Trap zones where smart money absorbs liquidity
• Entry/exit filters when combined with price action
🧠 How to Use
• Use in combination with price structure, support/resistance, and volume profile tools
• Watch how price reacts when it revisits the plotted lines
• Look for effort bars that fail to lead to continuation, signaling potential reversal
• Can be used in scalping, swing trading, or Wyckoff-style phase analysis
🔒 Technical Notes
• ✅ Does not repaint
• ✅ Built with Pine Script v6
• ✅ Lightweight and customizable
• ❌ Does not generate buy/sell signals — it provides context, not predictions

CVD Pro – Smart Overlay + Signals (with Persist Mode)What this Indicator Does
CVD Pro visualizes Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) data directly on your main price chart — helping you detect real buying vs. selling pressure in real time.
Unlike most CVD scripts that run in a separate subwindow, this one overlays price-mapped CVD curves on the candles themselves for better confluence with market structure and FVG zones.
The script dynamically scales normalized CVD values to the price range and uses adaptive smoothing and deviation bands to highlight shifts in trader behavior.
It also includes automatic bullish/bearish crossover signals, displayed as on-chart labels.
⚙️ Main Features
✅ Price-mapped CVD Overlay
CVD is normalized (Z-score) and projected onto the price chart for easy visual correlation with price structure.
✅ Multi-Timeframe Presets
Three sensitivity presets optimized for different chart environments:
Strict (4H) → Best for macro trends and high-timeframe structure.
Balanced (1H / 30m) → Great for active swing setups.
Sensitive (15m) → Captures short-term intraday reversals.
✅ Dynamic Bands & Smoothing
Deviation bands visualize statistical extremes in delta pressure — helping to identify exhaustion and divergence points.
✅ Smart Buy/Sell Signal Logic
Automatic label triggers when the CVD Overlay crosses its smoothed baseline:
🟢 BULL LONG → Rising CVD above the mean (buyers in control).
🔴 BEAR SHORT → Falling CVD below the mean (sellers in control).
✅ Persist Mode
Toggle to keep the last signal visible until a new one forms — ideal for traders who prefer clean chart annotations without noise.
✅ Clean, Minimal Overlay
Everything happens directly on your chart — no extra windows, no clutter. Designed for use with Smart Money Concepts, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), or volume imbalance setups.
🧩 Use Case
CVD Pro is designed for traders who:
Use Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or ICT-style trading
Watch for FVG reactions, breaker blocks, and liquidity sweeps
Need to confirm order flow direction or momentum strength
Trade intraday or swing setups with precision entries and clear bias confirmation
⚡ Recommended Settings
4H / 1H: Use Strict mode for major structure and confirmation.
1H / 30m: Balanced mode for clear mid-term trend alignment.
15m: Sensitive mode to catch scalps and lower-TF shifts.
🧠 Pro Tips
Combine with RSI or Market Structure Breaks (MSS) for additional confluence.
A strong CVD divergence near a key FVG or 0.5–0.705 Fibonacci zone often signals reversal.
Persistent CVD crossover + price structure break = high-probability entry.

Would you like me to write a shorter “public summary” paragraph (for the short description at the top of TradingView, the one-liner users see before expanding)?
It’s usually a 2–3 sentence hook like:
“Overlay-based CVD indicator that merges volume delta with price structure. Detect true buying/selling pressure using adaptive normalization, deviation bands, and clean bullish/bearish crossover signals.”
