Psychological levels [Kodologic] Psychological levels
Markets are not random, they are driven by human psychology and algorithmic order flow. A well-known phenomenon in trading is the "Whole Number Bias" — the tendency for price to react significantly at clean, round numbers (e.g., Bitcoin at $95,000 or EURUSD at 1.0500).
Manually drawing horizontal lines at every round number is tedious, clutters your object tree, and distracts you from analyzing price action.
Psychological levels Numbers is a workflow utility designed to solve this problem. It automatically projects a clean, customizable grid of key price levels onto your chart, helping you instantly identify areas where liquidity and orders are likely to cluster.
Why This Indicator Helps Traders :
Professional traders know that "00" and "50" levels act as magnets for price. Here is how this tool assists in your analysis:
1. Institutional Footprints : Large institutions and bank algorithms often execute orders at whole numbers to simplify accounting. This script highlights these potential liquidity zones automatically.
2. Support & Resistance Discovery: You will often notice price wicking or reversing exactly on these grid lines. This helps in spotting natural support and resistance without needing complex technical analysis.
3. Cognitive Load Reduction: Instead of calculating where the next "major level" is, the grid is visually present, allowing you to focus on candlestick patterns and market structure.
Features :
Dynamic Calculation : The grid updates automatically as price moves, you never have to redraw lines.
Zero Clutter : The lines are drawn using code, meaning they do not appear in your manual drawing tools list or clutter your object tree.
Fully Customizable Step : You define what constitutes a "Round Number" for your specific asset class (Forex, Crypto, Indices, or Stocks).
Visual Control : Adjust line styles (Solid, Dotted, Dashed), colors, and transparency to keep your chart aesthetic and readable.
How to Use in Your Strategy :
1. Target Setting (Take Profit)
If you are in a long position, use the next upper grid line as a logical Take Profit area. Price often gravitates toward these whole numbers before reversing or consolidating.
2. Stop Loss Placement
Avoid placing Stop Losses exactly on a round number, as these are often "stop hunted." Instead, use the grid to visualize the level and place your stop slightly *below* or *above* the round number for better protection.
3. Confluence Trading
Do not use these lines in isolation. Look for Confluence :
Example: If a Fibonacci 61.8% level lines up exactly with a Round Number grid line, that level becomes a high-probability reversal zone.
Settings Guide (Important)
Since every asset is priced differently, you must adjust the "levels Step Size" to match your instrument:
Forex (e.g., EURUSD, GBPUSD): Set Step Size to `0.0050` (50 pips) or `0.0100` (100 pips).
Crypto (e.g., BTCUSD): Set Step Size to `500` or `1000`.
Indices (e.g., US30, SPX500): Set Step Size to `100` or `500`.
Gold (XAUUSD):** Set Step Size to `10`.

Cycles reveal when a move may occur.
Divergences reveal why a move may occur.
Combined, they offer highly effective market timing.
Elite Commodities AIThe Elite Commodities AI indicator provides a comprehensive analytical framework designed specifically for commodities trading. It combines multiple technical components to assess price action within the unique characteristics of commodity markets.
The indicator incorporates the following key elements:
Multi-timeframe RSI analysis across the primary timeframe, 4-hour, and daily periods
Multiple exponential moving averages (fast, slow, and trend) to establish directional context
Volume rate analysis measuring current volume relative to recent average volume
Bollinger Band width analysis to identify periods of volatility contraction
True Range volatility expressed as a percentage of price
The indicator evaluates the interaction between momentum, trend structure, volume participation, and volatility dynamics, which are particularly significant in commodities markets due to their sensitivity to changes in supply-demand fundamentals and large institutional order flow.
By combining these analytical components, the indicator provides a layered assessment of price behavior that captures the interplay between trend development, momentum characteristics, participation levels, and volatility compression—key factors that drive commodity market movements.
This approach enables traders to identify significant price action within the context of prevailing market structure, making it suitable for analyzing both directional trends and consolidation periods that are common in commodity price behavior.2.2s
🤖 DarkPool's Omni-MA APEX v3 🤖DarkPool's Omni-MA APEX v3 is an all-encompassing technical analysis suite designed to replace multiple indicators with a single, highly optimized tool. At its core, it features five independently customizable "Omni-MAs" capable of running various calculation models (SMA, EMA, HMA, LSMA, etc.) across multiple timeframes.
Beyond standard trend lines, the APEX v3 integrates a sophisticated "Market Structure Engine" that automatically plots Support & Resistance zones based on pivot points and volatility (ATR). It also features a "Trend Cloud" to visualize macro sentiment and a professional-grade Dashboard that aggregates data from over 10 different sources (RSI, MACD, OBV, Volume, etc.) to provide a real-time health check of the asset.
Key Features
5-Layer Omni-MA System: Five distinct moving averages with "Smart Coloring" that detects trends, consolidations (flat markets), and reversals.
Auto Support & Resistance: A dynamic algorithm that draws, updates, and prunes liquidity zones on the chart automatically.
Macro Trend Cloud: A visual background fill comparing Daily and Weekly momentum to keep you aligned with the higher timeframe.
Data Dashboard: A customizable panel displaying real-time metrics for Momentum, Volume, RSI, Divergences, and VWAP status.
Signal Generator: Alerts for MA crossovers, S/R breakouts, and trend shifts.
How to Use
1. The Omni-MAs (The Lines) The indicator plots up to five lines, color-coded for instant trend recognition:
Green/Blue: Price is above the previous value (Uptrend).
Red/Maroon: Price is below the previous value (Downtrend).
Gray: The line is flat (Consolidation/Chop).
MA 1-2 (Fast): Use these for entry triggers and scalping.
MA 3 (Medium): The "Anchor" line, often used as dynamic support.
MA 4-5 (Slow): The macro trend filters. If price is below MA 5, looking for longs is risky.
2. The Trend Cloud
Background Fill: This visualizes the difference between the Daily EMA and Weekly EMA.
Green Cloud: The Daily trend is above the Weekly trend (Strong Bullish Market).
Red Cloud: The Daily trend is below the Weekly trend (Strong Bearish Market).
3. Support & Resistance Zones
The Boxes: The script identifies pivot points and projects them forward as boxes.
Strategy: Watch for price to react at these zones. If a candle closes through a zone, it signals a Breakout (Green triangle) or Breakdown (Red triangle).
4. The Dashboard Located in the corner of your chart, this table provides a "Cockpit View" of the market:
Momentum Score: A composite score (-100 to +100) derived from RSI, MACD, and Stochastic.
Vol Ratio: Compares current volume to the average. A green bar indicates volume is higher than usual.
Market State: Classifies the market into regimes like "Volatile Bull," "Quiet Bear," or "Ranging."
Configuration Settings
Dashboard UI
Compact Mode: Reduces the table to show only the final Buy/Sell signal.
Active Widgets: Toggle individual data points (e.g., turn off "OBV" or "ADX" if you don't use them) to save screen space.
Global Analysis (Strategy Engine)
ATR Filter: Filters out "Weak" trends. If the price movement is too small (low volatility), signals are suppressed.
Volume MA: Sets the lookback period for calculating relative volume.
Support & Resistance
Pivot Sensitivity: Lower numbers find more zones (more noise); higher numbers find fewer, stronger zones.
Zone Width: Multiplies the ATR to determine how thick the S/R boxes should be.
MA Settings (1-5)
Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA (Hull), VWMA, LSMA, ALMA, and more.
Timeframe: You can set MA 5 to "D" (Daily) while trading on a 15-minute chart to see the daily trend line overlaid.

Bollinger Bands HTF Hardcoded (Len 20 / Dev 2) [CHE]Bollinger Bands HTF Hardcoded (Len 20 / Dev 2) — Higher-timeframe BB emulation with bucket-based length scaling and on-chart diagnostics
Summary
This indicator emulates higher-timeframe Bollinger Bands directly on the current chart by scaling a fixed base length (20) via a timeframe-to-bucket multiplier map. It avoids cross-timeframe requests and instead applies the “HTF feel” by using a longer effective lookback on lower timeframes. Bands use the classic deviation of 2 and the original color scheme (Basis blue, Upper red, Lower green, blue fill). An on-chart table reports the resolved bucket, multiplier, and effective length.
Pine version: v6
Overlay: true
Primary outputs: Basis (SMA), Upper/Lower bands, background fill, optional info table
Motivation: Why this design?
Cross-timeframe Bollinger Bands typically rely on `request.security`, which can introduce complexity, mixed-bar alignment issues, and potential repaint paths depending on how users consume signals intrabar. This design offers a deterministic alternative: a single-series calculation on the chart timeframe, with a hardcoded “HTF emulation” achieved by scaling the BB length according to coarse higher-timeframe buckets. The result is a smoother, slower band structure on low timeframes without external timeframe calls.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Standard Bollinger Bands with a fixed user length on the current timeframe, or true HTF bands via `request.security`.
Architecture differences:
Fixed base parameters: Length = 20, Deviation = 2.
Bucket mapping derived from the chart timeframe (or manually overridden).
No `request.security`; all computations occur on the current series.
Effective length is “20 × multiplier”, where multiplier approximates aggregation into the chosen bucket.
Diagnostics table for transparency (bucket, multiplier, resolved length, bandwidth).
Practical effect: On lower timeframes, the effective length becomes much larger, behaving like a higher-timeframe Bollinger structure (smoother basis and wider stability), while remaining purely local to the chart series.
How it works (technical)
The script first resolves a target bucket (“Auto” or a manual selection such as 60/240/1D/…/12M). It then computes a multiplier that approximates how many current bars fit into that bucket (e.g., 1m→60m uses mult≈60, 5m→60m uses mult≈12). The effective Bollinger length becomes:
`bb_len = 20 mult` (clamped to at least 1)
Using the effective length, it calculates:
`basis = ta.sma(src, bb_len)`
`dev = 2 ta.stdev(src, bb_len)`
`upper = basis + dev`
`lower = basis - dev`
A “bandwidth” diagnostic is also computed as `(upper-lower) / basis` (guarded against division by zero) and shown in the table as a percentage. A persistent table object is created/deleted based on the visibility toggle and updated only on the last bar for performance.
Parameter Guide
Source — Input series for the bands — Default: Close
Use close for classic behavior; smoother sources reduce responsiveness.
Bucket — HTF bucket selection — Default: Auto
Auto derives a bucket from the chart timeframe; manual selection forces the intended target bucket.
Offset — Plot offset — Default: 0
Shifts plots forward/back for visual alignment, displayed in the data window.
Table X / Table Y — Table anchor — Default: Right / Top
Places the diagnostics table in one of nine anchor points.
Table Size — Table text size — Default: Normal
Use small on dense charts, large for presentations.
Dark Mode — Table theme — Default: Enabled
Switches table palette for readability against chart background.
Show Table — Toggle diagnostics table — Default: Enabled
Disable for a cleaner chart.
Reading & Interpretation
Basis (blue): The moving average centerline of the bands (SMA of effective length).
Upper (red) / Lower (green): ±2 standard deviations around the basis using the same effective length.
Fill (blue tint): Visual band zone to quickly see compression/expansion.
Interpretation staples:
Price riding the upper band suggests strong bullish pressure; riding the lower band suggests strong bearish pressure.
Band expansion indicates rising volatility; contraction indicates volatility compression.
Mean reversion setups often key off the basis and re-entries from outside bands, while breakout/trend setups often key off sustained band rides.
Diagnostics table:
HTF Tag: Human-readable label showing the current timeframe → bucket mapping.
Bucket: The resolved target bucket (Auto result or manual selection).
Multiplier: The integer factor applied to the base length.
Len/Dev: Shows base length (20) and the effective length result plus deviation (2).
Bandwidth: Normalized width of the band (percent), useful for spotting squeezes.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
HTF context on LTF charts: Use this as “slow structure” bands on 1m–15m charts without requesting HTF data.
Squeeze detection: Watch bandwidth shrink to historically low levels, then look for break/hold outside bands.
Trend filtering: Favor long bias when price stays above the basis and repeatedly respects it; favor short bias when below.
Confluence: Combine with market structure (swing highs/lows), volume tools, or a trend filter (e.g., a longer MA) for confirmation.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: No cross-timeframe requests. Values can still evolve intrabar and settle on close, as with any indicator computed on live bars.
History requirements: Very large effective lengths need sufficient historical bars; expect a warm-up period after loading or switching symbols/timeframes.
Known limits: Because the method approximates HTF behavior by scaling lookback, it is not identical to true HTF Bollinger Bands computed on aggregated candles. In particular, volatility and mean can differ slightly versus a real HTF series.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Default workflow:
Bucket: Auto
Source: Close
Table: On (until you trust the mapping), then optionally off
If bands feel too slow on your timeframe: choose a smaller bucket (e.g., 60 instead of 240).
If bands feel too reactive/noisy: choose a larger bucket (e.g., 1D or 3D).
If chart looks cluttered: hide the table; keep only the bands and fill.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a Bollinger Band visualization layer that emulates higher-timeframe “slowness” via deterministic length scaling. It is not a complete trading system and does not include entries, exits, sizing, or risk management. Use it as context alongside your execution rules and protective stops.

Fair Value Gaps (FVG)This indicator automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using the classic 3-candle structure (ICT-style).
It is designed for traders who want clean charts and relevant FVGs only, without the usual clutter from past sessions or tiny, meaningless gaps.
Key Features
• Bullish & Bearish FVG detection
Identifies imbalances where price fails to trade efficiently between candles.
• Automatic FVG removal when filled
As soon as price trades back into the gap, the box is deleted in real time – no more outdated zones on the chart.
• Only shows FVGs from the current session
At the start of each new session, all previous FVGs are cleared.
Perfect for intraday traders who only care about today’s liquidity map.
• Flexible minimum gap size filter
Avoid noise by filtering FVGs using one of three modes:
Ticks (based on market tick size)
Percent (relative to current price)
Points (absolute price distance)
• Right-extension option
Keep gaps extended forward in time or limit them to the candles that created them.
Why This Indicator?
Many FVG indicators overwhelm the chart with zones from previous days or tiny imbalances that don’t matter.
This version keeps things clean, meaningful, and real-time accurate, ideal for day traders who rely on market structure and liquidity.

CoreTFRSIMD CoreTFRSIMD library — Reusable TFRSI core for consistent momentum inputs across scripts
The library provides a reusable exported function such as calcTfrsi(src, len, signalLen) so you can compute TFRSI in your own indicators or strategies, e.g. tfrsi = CoreTFRSIMD.calcTfrsi(close, 6, 2)
Summary
CoreTFRSIMD is a Pine Script v6 library that implements a TFRSI-style oscillator core and exposes it as a reusable exported function. It is designed for authors who want the same TFRSI calculation across multiple indicators or strategies without duplicating logic. The library includes a simple demo plot and band styling so you can visually sanity-check the output. No higher-timeframe sampling is used, and there are no loops or arrays, so runtime cost is minimal for typical chart usage.
Motivation: Why this design?
When you reuse an oscillator across different tools, small implementation differences create inconsistent signals and hard-to-debug results. This library isolates the signal path into one exported function so that every dependent script consumes the exact same oscillator output. The design combines filtering, normalization, and a final smoothing pass to produce a stable, RSI-like readout intended for momentum and regime context.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Traditional RSI computed directly from gains and losses with standard smoothing.
Architecture differences:
A high-pass stage to attenuate slower components before the main smoothing.
A multi-pole smoothing stage implemented with persistent state to reduce noise.
A running peak-tracker style normalization that adapts to changing signal amplitude.
A final signal smoothing layer using a simple moving average.
Practical effect:
The oscillator output tends to be less dominated by raw volatility spikes and more consistent across changing conditions.
The normalization step helps keep the output in an RSI-like reading space without relying on fixed scaling.
How it works (technical)
1. Input source: The exported function accepts a source series and two integer parameters controlling responsiveness and final smoothing.
2. High-pass stage: A recursive filter is applied to the source to emphasize shorter-term movement. This stage uses persistent storage so it can reference prior internal states across bars.
3. Smoothing stage: The filtered stream is passed through a SuperSmoother-like recursive smoother derived from the chosen length. This again uses persistent state and prior values for continuity.
4. Adaptive normalization: The absolute magnitude of the smoothed stream is compared to a slowly decaying reference level. If the current magnitude exceeds the reference, the reference is updated. This acts like a “peak hold with decay” so the oscillator scales relative to recent conditions.
5. Oscillator mapping: The normalized value is mapped into an RSI-like reading range.
6. Signal smoothing: A simple moving average is applied over the requested signal length to reduce bar-to-bar chatter.
7. Demo rendering: The library script plots the oscillator, draws horizontal guide levels, and applies background plus gradient fills for overbought and oversold regions.
Parameter Guide
Parameter — Effect — Default — Trade-offs/Tips
src — Input series used by the oscillator — close in demo — Use close for general momentum, or a derived series if you want to emphasize a specific behavior.
len — Controls the responsiveness of internal filtering and smoothing — six in demo — Smaller values react faster but can increase short-term noise; larger values smooth more but can lag turns.
signalLen — Controls the final smoothing of the mapped oscillator — two in demo — Smaller values preserve detail but can flicker; larger values reduce flicker but can delay transitions.
Reading & Interpretation
The plot is an oscillator intended to be read similarly to an RSI-style momentum gauge.
The demo includes three reference levels: upper at one hundred, mid at fifty, and lower at zero.
The fills visually emphasize zones above the midline and below the midline. Treat these as context, not as standalone entries.
If the oscillator appears unusually compressed or unusually jumpy, the normalization reference may be adapting to an abrupt change in amplitude. That is expected behavior for adaptive normalization.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following:
Use structure first, then confirm with oscillator behavior around the midline.
Prefer signals aligned with higher-high higher-low or lower-low lower-high context from price.
Exits/Stops:
Use oscillator loss of momentum as a caution flag rather than an automatic exit trigger.
In strong trends, consider keeping risk rules price-based and use the oscillator mainly to avoid adding into exhaustion.
Multi-asset/Multi-timeframe:
Start with the demo defaults when you want a responsive oscillator.
If an asset is noisier, increase the main length or the signal smoothing length to reduce false flips.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: No higher-timeframe sampling is used. Output updates on the live bar like any normal series. There is no explicit closed-bar gating in the library.
security or HTF: Not used, so there is no HTF synchronization risk.
Resources: No loops, no arrays, no large history buffers. Persistent variables are used for filter state.
Known limits: Like any filtered oscillator, sharp gaps and extreme one-bar events can produce transient distortions. The adaptive normalization can also make early bars unstable until enough history has accumulated.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting values: length six, signal smoothing two.
Too many flips: Increase signal smoothing length, or increase the main length.
Too sluggish: Reduce the main length, or reduce signal smoothing length.
Choppy around midline: Increase signal smoothing length slightly and rely more on price structure filters.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This library is a reusable signal component and visualization aid. It is not a complete trading system, not predictive, and not a substitute for market structure, execution rules, and risk controls. Use it as a momentum and regime context layer, and validate behavior per asset and timeframe before relying on it.

Fib+BOS/CHOCH+OB# ⭐ 1) **What This Indicator Does**
The indicator combines 4 major concepts:
### **1️⃣ Market Structure (Swing High/Low)**
* Detects major swing highs and lows using pivot logic
* Determines whether the market is **Bullish** or **Bearish**
### **2️⃣ BOS / CHOCH (Break of Structure / Change of Character)**
* **BOS:** continuation of trend
* **CHOCH:** early signal of trend reversal
* Only the **last 5** levels are displayed → keeps chart clean
### **3️⃣ Order Blocks (OB)**
* Detects last opposite candle before BOS/CHOCH
* Displays only **the latest 3 OB zones**
* Ideal for identifying high-probability pullbacks
Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – IndicatorWhat this indicator does
Name: Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – Indicator
This is an entry model helper, not just a BOS/MSS marker.
It looks for clean trend-side setups by combining:
MSS (Market Structure Shift) using swing highs/lows
3-bar ICT Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
First retest back into the FVG
A built-in chop / trend filter based on ATR and a moving average
When everything lines up, it plots:
L below the candle = Long candidate
S above the candle = Short candidate
You pair this with a higher-timeframe filter (like the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M) to avoid pressing the button in garbage environments.
How it works (simple explanation)
Chop / Trend filter
Computes ATR and compares each bar’s range to ATR.
If the bar is small vs ATR → more likely CHOP.
If the bar is big vs ATR → more likely TREND.
Uses a moving average:
Above MA + TREND → trendLong zone
Below MA + TREND → trendShort zone
MSS (Market Structure Shift)
Uses swing highs/lows (left/right bars) to track the last significant high/low.
Bullish MSS: close breaks above last swing high with displacement.
Bearish MSS: close breaks below last swing low with displacement.
Those events are marked as tiny triangles (MSS up/down).
A MSS only stays “valid” for a certain number of bars (Bars after MSS allowed).
3-bar ICT FVG
Bullish FVG: low > high
→ gap between bar 3 high and bar 2 low.
Bearish FVG: high < low
→ gap between bar 3 low and bar 2 high.
The indicator stores the FVG boundaries (top/bottom).
Retest of FVG
Watches for price to trade back into that gap (first touch).
That retest is the “entry zone” after the MSS.
Final Long / Short condition
Long (L) prints when:
Recent bullish MSS
Bullish FVG has formed
Price retests the bullish FVG
Environment = trendLong (ATR + above MA)
Not CHOP
Short (S) prints when:
Recent bearish MSS
Bearish FVG has formed
Price retests the bearish FVG
Environment = trendShort (ATR + below MA)
Not CHOP
So the L/S markers are “model-approved entry candles”, not just any random BOS.
Inputs / Settings
Key inputs you’ll see:
ATR length (chop filter)
How many bars to use for ATR in the chop / trend filter.
Lower = more sensitive, twitchy
Higher = smoother, slower to change
Max chop ratio
If barRange / ATR is below this → treat as CHOP.
Min trend ratio
If barRange / ATR is above this → treat as TREND.
Hide MSS/BOS marks in CHOP?
ON = MSS triangles disappear when the bar is classified as CHOP
Keeps your chart cleaner in consolidation
Swing left / right bars
Controls how tight or wide the swing highs/lows are for MSS:
Smaller = more sensitive, more MSS points
Larger = fewer, more significant swings
Bars after MSS allowed
How many bars after a MSS the indicator will still allow FVG entries.
Small value (e.g. 10) = MSS must deliver quickly or it’s ignored.
Larger (e.g. 20) = MSS idea stays “in play” longer.
Visual RR (for info only)
Just for plotting relative risk-reward in your head.
This is not a strategy tester; it doesn’t manage positions.
What you see on the chart
Small green triangle up = Bullish MSS
Small red triangle down = Bearish MSS
“L” triangle below a bar = Long idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendLong + not chop)
“S” triangle above a bar = Short idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendShort + not chop)
Faint circle plots on price:
When the filter sees CHOP
When it sees Trend Long zone
When it sees Trend Short zone
You do not have to trade every L or S.
They’re there to show “this is where the model would have considered an entry.”
How to use it in your trading
1. Use it with a higher-timeframe filter
Best practice:
Use this with the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M or some other HTF filter.
Only consider L/S when:
Chop Meter = TRADE / NORMAL, and
This indicator prints L or S in the right location (premium/discount, near OB/FVG, etc.)
If higher-timeframe says NO TRADE, you ignore all L/S.
2. Location > Signal
Treat L/S as confirmation, not the whole story.
For shorts (S):
Look for premium zones (previous highs, OBs, fair value ranges above mid).
Want purge / raid of liquidity + MSS down + bearish FVG retest → then S.
For longs (L):
Look for discount zones (previous lows, OBs/FVGs below mid).
Want stop raid / purge low + MSS up + bullish FVG retest → then L.
If you see L/S firing in the middle of a bigger range, that’s where you skip and let it go.
3. Instrument presets (example)
You can tune the ATR/chop settings per instrument:
MNQ (noisy, 1m chart):
ATR length: 21
Max chop ratio: 0.90
Min trend ratio: 1.40
Bars after MSS allowed: 10
GOLD (cleaner, 3m chart):
ATR length: 14
Max chop ratio: 0.80
Min trend ratio: 1.30
Bars after MSS allowed: 20
You can save those as presets in the TV settings for quick switching.
4. How to practice with it
Open replay on a couple of days.
Check Chop Meter → if NO TRADE, just observe.
When Chop Meter says TRADE:
Mark where L/S printed.
Ask:
Was this in premium/discount?
Was there SMT / purge on HTF?
Did the move actually deliver, or did it die?
Screenshot the A+ L/S and the ugly ones; refine:
ATR length
Chop / trend thresholds
MSS lookback
Your goal is to get it to where:
The L/S marks show up mostly in the same places your eye already likes,
and you ignore the rest.
Advanced Triple Strategy ScalperHere are the three scalping strategies presented in the video "3 Scalping Strategies That Work Every Day (Backtested & Proven)" by Asia Forex Mentor – Ezekiel Chew:
### Scalper’s Trend Filter (Triple EMA)
This strategy uses three EMAs (25, 50, 100) on the 5-minute chart to filter high-probability trades aligned with momentum .
- Only trade when all three EMAs are angled in the same direction and clearly separated (no crossing or tangling) .
- Enter when price pulls back toward the 25 or 50 EMA and then bounces back toward the 25 EMA, but do not enter if price closes below the 100 EMA .
- Set stop-loss just below the 50 EMA or swing low and aim for a risk-to-reward ratio of 1:1.5 .
### Flip Zone Trap (Reversal Catching)
This method identifies precise reversal moments where market structure shifts from weakness to strength .
- Use the 15-min chart to locate key support or resistance zones where price previously reacted .
- Wait for price to stop making lower lows and begin making higher highs (or vice versa for shorts); confirm with a trendline break AND follow-through (higher lows & highs within 5-7 candles) .
- Use confirmation candles (bullish engulfing, pin bar rejection) at the zone before entry .
### Liquidity Shift Trigger (Smart Money Trap)
This system leverages institutional stop hunts and liquidity sweeps at key zones for sniper entries .
- Start with a 15-min chart to identify structure breaks and points of interest (order blocks, flip zones, demand zones) .
- Drop to 1-min chart and wait for price to enter the refined zone and sweep liquidity (sharp wick/spike below/above key level) .
- Once liquidity is swept, wait for a clean structure shift (break of most recent internal high or low) within 5–6 candles—if confirmed, refine entry to the candle that caused the break and enter when price returns to that candle with a strong reaction .
***
### Practical Application
- These strategies are systematic, rule-based, and designed to cut out fake moves, avoid early stop-outs, and align entries with momentum and institutional activity .
- Perfect for short timeframes and volatile pairs like XAUUSD, especially if paired with additional confirmation from other technical analysis tools .
All three strategies emphasize filtering noise, waiting for momentum/trend confirmation, and avoiding impulsive entries—key principles for consistent scalping success
BTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal DetectorThis indicator identifies true market reversals by analyzing raw price structure instead of traditional lagging indicators. It tracks how Bitcoin (and any crypto asset) naturally shifts direction by detecting confirmed swing points, followed by a structural break in the opposite direction. A bullish signal appears when price forms a higher low and then breaks above the previous structural high; a bearish signal forms when price creates a lower high followed by a break below the previous structural low.
Because it uses pure market structure, every signal reflects an actual change in trend direction, not a temporary pullback or indicator noise. This makes the tool highly reliable across all timeframes — from 1 minute scalping to multi-hour swing setups. The result is a clean, noise-free view of where the market truly reverses, giving traders clear confirmation points to plan entries, exits, or risk management.
Smart Margin Zone
SMART MARGIN ZONE - CME-BASED SUPPORT & RESISTANCE INDICATOR
TITLE FOR PUBLICATION:
Smart Margin Zone - CME Margin-Based Support and Resistance
CATEGORY:
Support and Resistance
SHORT DESCRIPTION (for preview):
Automatically plots margin zones based on CME Group requirements. These zones represent critical price levels where leveraged traders face margin calls, creating natural support and resistance through forced liquidations.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FULL DESCRIPTION FOR TRADINGVIEW:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 Smart Margin Zone - Professional Trading Zones Based on CME Data
This indicator automatically calculates and displays margin zones derived from official CME Group margin requirements. These zones represent critical price levels where traders using leverage receive margin calls, triggering forced position closures that create natural support and resistance levels.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 CORE CONCEPT
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
When price reaches calculated margin zones, traders using 2:1 or 4:1 leverage on CME futures receive margin calls. Brokers automatically liquidate these positions, creating waves of buying or selling pressure that form strong support and resistance levels.
This is not theoretical - it's based on actual margin requirements from CME Group, the world's largest derivatives marketplace.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📐 CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator uses the following formula to calculate zone sizes:
Zone Size = (Margin Requirement / Tick Value) × Tick Size × 1.10
Where:
• Margin Requirement = Official CME initial margin (updated November 2024)
• Tick Value = Dollar value of minimum price movement
• Tick Size = Minimum price increment
• 1.10 = 10% buffer for realistic zone width
SUPPORTED INSTRUMENTS WITH CME DATA:
Currency Pairs:
• EURUSD: $2,100 margin → 0.0168 zone size
• GBPUSD: $1,800 margin → 0.0144 zone size
• AUDUSD: $1,300 margin → 0.0065 zone size
• NZDUSD: $1,100 margin → 0.0055 zone size
• USDJPY: $3,200 margin → custom calculation
• USDCAD: $950 margin → calculated
• USDCHF: $1,650 margin → calculated
Commodities:
• Gold (XAUUSD): $8,000 margin → 80 points zone size
• Silver (XAGUSD): $6,500 margin → calculated
• WTI Crude Oil: $4,500 margin → calculated
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔍 HOW IT WORKS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. SWING POINT DETECTION
The indicator automatically identifies swing highs and swing lows using a configurable lookback period (default 10 bars). These become anchor points for zone calculations.
2. FIVE ZONE LEVELS
From each swing point, five zone levels are calculated:
• Zone 1/4 (25%) - First correction level
• Zone 1/2 (50%) - KEY ZONE for trend determination
• Zone 3/4 (75%) - Intermediate level
• Zone 1/1 (100%) - Full margin zone (strongest level)
• Zone 5/4 (125%) - Extended zone
3. TREND IDENTIFICATION
• Close above Zone 1/2 resistance = Bullish trend
• Close below Zone 1/2 support = Bearish trend
• Between zones = Range/consolidation
4. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Current zones are displayed prominently with fills and labels. Historical zones appear as thin, semi-transparent lines for context without cluttering the chart.

Vince/Williams Market Internals SuiteThis indicator is a powerhouse combination of three distinct market internal strategies developed by Ralph Vince and Larry Williams. Instead of using three separate scripts to monitor market health, this tool consolidates them into a single dashboard that analyzes NYSE "New Lows" data to detect structural rot, capitulation, and crash risks.
The first component is the Volatility Vulnerability monitor, which identifies when the market structure is decaying. It looks for an extended period where the number of New Lows fails to drop to negligible levels. If you see an Orange Circle while price is above the 50 SMA, it is a major warning that the uptrend is hollow and prone to a crash. Conversely, a Blue Circle below the 50 SMA suggests the weakness is already priced in, offering a contrarian entry signal.
The second component is the Selling Climax signal. This identifies moments of pure terror where New Lows hit extreme levels (default 20%). The script marks these panic days with Orange Diamonds, but the real value is the Green Diamond that appears immediately when the panic subsides, often signaling a sharp V-bottom.
Finally, the Bloodbath Rule runs in the background as a defensive filter. When the background turns red (marked by a Red Cross), it means New Lows have breached the "danger" threshold (default 4%). During these periods, internal selling pressure is accelerating, and you should strictly avoid entering new long positions until the background clears.
Note: This script relies on broad market data (ADVN/DECN/LOWN) and works best on Daily timeframes.
Distribution Day Grading [Blk0ut]Distribution Day Grading
This script is designed to give traders and investors a fast, objective, and modern read on market health by analyzing distribution days, and stall days, two forms of institutional selling that often begin to appear before trend weakness, failed breakouts, and sharp corrections.
The goal of this script isn’t to predict tops or bottoms, but instead, it measures the character of the tape in a way that’s simple, visual, and immediately actionable.
While distribution analysis has existed for decades, my implementation is, I think, a little more adaptive. Traditional rules for identifying distribution days, coming from CANSLIM methodology, were built for markets which had lower volatility, different liquidity profiles, and slower institutional rotation. This script updates the traditional method with modernized thresholds, recency-weighted decay, stall-day logic, and dynamic presets tuned uniquely for the personality of each major U.S. index (you can change the values yourself as well).
The results are displayed as a compact letter-grade that quantitatively reflects a measure of how much institutional supply has been hitting the market, as well as how recently. This helps determine whether conditions are supportive of breakouts, mean reversion trades, aggressive trend trades, or whether caution and lighter sizing are warranted.
__________________________________________________________________________________
How It Works
The script evaluates each bar for two conditions:
1. Distribution Day
A bar qualifies as distribution when:
- Price closes down beyond a threshold (default 0.30%, adjustable)
- Volume is higher than the prior session (optional toggle)
Distribution days typically represent active institutional selling .
2. Stall Day
A softer form of supply:
-Price remains flat to slightly negative within a small threshold
-Close < open
-Volume higher than prior day
Stall days represent a passive distribution or hidden supply .
Each distribution day is counted as 1 unit by the script, each stall day as 0.5 units.
Recency Weighting
The script applies an optional half-life decay so that fresh distribution matters more than old distribution. This mimics the “aging out” effect that professional traders use, but does it in a smoother, more mathematically consistent way.
The script then produces:
A weighted distribution score
A raw distribution + stall count
A letter grade from A → F
Let's talk about the letters...
_________________________________________________________________________________
Letter Grade Meaning
A — Very Healthy Tape
Minimal institutional selling.
Breakouts behave better, momentum holds, pullbacks are shallow, upside targets are hit more consistently.
B — Healthy / Slight Caution
Some isolated supply but nothing structural.
Conditions remain favorable for trend trades, pullbacks, and breakout continuation.
C — Mixed / Caution Warranted
Distribution is building.
Breakouts begin to fail faster, candles widen, rotation becomes unstable, and risk/reward compresses.
D — Weak / Risk Elevated
Institutional selling is becoming persistent.
Failed breakouts, sharp reversals, and failed rallies become more common. Position sizing should tighten.
F — Clear Deterioration
Broad, repeated institutional distribution.
This is where major tops, deeper pullbacks, and corrections often begin to form underneath the surface.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Index-Tuned Presets (Auto Mode)
Market structure varies dramatically across indices.
To address this, the script includes auto-detect presets for:
SPY / SPX equivalents
QQQ / NASDAQ-100 equivalents
IWM / Russell 2000 equivalents
DIA / Dow 30 equivalents
Each preset contains optimized values based on volatility, liquidity, noise, and institutional behavior:
SPY / SPX
Low noise, deep liquidity → classic thresholds work well.
Distribution thresholds remain conservative.
QQQ
Higher volatility → requires a slightly larger down-percentage filter to avoid false signals.
IWM
Noisiest of the major indices → requires much stricter thresholds to filter out junk signals.
DIA
Slowest-moving index → tighter conditions catch real distribution earlier.
The script automatically detects which symbol family you’re viewing and loads the appropriate preset unless manual overrides are enabled.
__________________________________________________________________________________
How to Interpret This Indicator
Grade A–B:
Breakouts have higher odds of clean continuation
Mean reversion is smoother
Position sizing can be more assertive
Grade C:
Start tightening risk
Focus on A- setups, not B- or C- risk ideas
Grade D–F:
Expect lower win rates
Expect breakout failures
Favor countertrend plays or reduced exposure
Take faster profits
____________________________
This indicator should help traders prevent themselves from fighting the tape or sizing aggressively when the underlying environment is deteriorating through:
- Modernized distribution logic, not the 1990s thresholds
- Recency-weighted decay instead of the old 5-week “aging out”
- Stall-day detection for subtle institutional supply
- Auto-presets tuned per index, adjusting thresholds to match volatility and liquidity
- Unified letter-grade scoring for visual clarity
- Independent application for any trading style, it helps with trend, momentum, mean reversion, and options

indicator CalibrationIndicator Calibration - Multi-Indicator Consensus System
Overview
Indicator Calibration is a powerful consensus-based trading indicator that leverages the MyIndicatorLibrary (NormalizedIndicators) to combine multiple trend-following indicators into a single, actionable signal. By averaging the normalized outputs of up to 8 different trend indicators, this tool provides traders with a clear consensus view of market direction, reducing noise and false signals inherent in single-indicator approaches.
The indicator outputs a value between -1 (strong bearish) and +1 (strong bullish), with 0 representing a neutral market state. This creates an intuitive, easy-to-read oscillator that synthesizes multiple analytical perspectives into one coherent signal.
🎯 Core Concept
Consensus Trading Philosophy
Rather than relying on a single indicator that may give conflicting or premature signals, Indicator Calibration employs a democratic voting system where multiple indicators contribute their normalized opinion:
Each enabled indicator votes: +1 (bullish), -1 (bearish), or 0 (neutral)

TraderDemircan Auto Fibonacci RetracementDescription:
What This Indicator Does:This indicator automatically identifies significant swing high and swing low points within a customizable lookback period and draws comprehensive Fibonacci retracement and extension levels between them. Unlike the manual Fibonacci tool that requires you to constantly redraw levels as price action evolves, this automated version continuously updates the Fibonacci grid based on the most recent major swing points, ensuring you always have current and relevant support/resistance zones displayed on your chart.Key Features:
Automatic Swing Detection: Continuously scans the specified lookback period to find the most significant high and low points, eliminating manual drawing errors
Comprehensive Level Coverage: Plots 16 Fibonacci levels including 7 retracement levels (0.0 to 1.0) and 9 extension levels (1.115 to 3.618)
Top-Down Methodology: Draws from swing high to swing low (right-to-left), following the traditional Fibonacci retracement convention where 100% is at the top
Dual Labeling System: Shows both exact price values and Fibonacci percentages for easy reference
Complete Customization: Individual toggle controls and color selection for each of the 16 levels
Flexible Display Options: Adjust line thickness (1-5), style (solid/dashed/dotted), and extension direction (left/right/both)
Visual Swing Markers: Red diamond at the swing high (starting point) and green diamond at the swing low (ending point)
Optional Trend Line: Connects the two swing points to visualize the overall price movement direction
How It Works:The indicator employs a sophisticated swing point detection algorithm that operates in two stages:Stage 1 - Find the Swing Low (Support Base):
Scans the entire lookback period to identify the lowest low, which becomes the anchor point (0.0 level in traditional retracement terms, though displayed at the bottom of the grid).Stage 2 - Find the Swing High (Resistance Peak):
After identifying the swing low, searches for the highest high that occurred after that low point, establishing the swing range. This creates a valid price movement range for Fibonacci analysis.Fibonacci Calculation Method:
The indicator uses the top-down approach where:
1.0 Level = Swing High (100% retracement, the top)
0.0 Level = Swing Low (0% retracement, the bottom)
Retracement Levels (0.236 to 0.786) = Potential support zones during pullbacks from the high
Extension Levels (1.115 to 3.618) = Potential target zones below the swing low
Formula: Price = SwingHigh - (SwingHigh - SwingLow) × FibonacciLevelThis ensures that 0.0 is at the bottom and extensions (>1.0) plot below the swing low, following standard Fibonacci retracement convention.Fibonacci Levels Explained:Retracement Levels (0.0 - 1.0):
0.0 (Gray): Swing low - the base support level
0.236 (Red): Shallow retracement, first minor support
0.382 (Orange): Moderate retracement, commonly watched support
0.5 (Purple): Psychological midpoint, significant support/resistance
0.618 (Blue - Golden Ratio): The most important retracement level, high-probability reversal zone
0.786 (Cyan): Deep retracement, last defense before full reversal
1.0 (Gray): Swing high - the initial resistance level
Extension Levels (1.115 - 3.618):
1.115 (Green): First extension, minimal downside target
1.272 (Light Green): Minor extension, common profit target
1.414 (Yellow-Green): Square root of 2, mathematical significance
1.618 (Gold - Golden Extension): Primary downside target, most watched extension level
2.0 (Orange-Red): 200% extension, psychological round number
2.382 (Pink): Secondary extension target
2.618 (Purple): Deep extension, major target zone
3.272 (Deep Purple): Extreme extension level
3.618 (Blue): Maximum extension, rare but powerful target
How to Use:For Retracement Trading (Buying Pullbacks in Uptrends):
Wait for price to make a significant move up from swing low to swing high
When price starts pulling back, watch for reactions at key Fibonacci levels
Most common entry zones: 0.382, 0.5, and especially 0.618 (golden ratio)
Enter long positions when price shows reversal signals (candlestick patterns, volume increase) at these levels
Place stop loss below the next Fibonacci level
Target: Return to swing high or higher extension levels
For Extension Trading (Profit Targets):
After price breaks below the swing low (0.0 level), use extensions as profit targets
First target: 1.272 (conservative)
Primary target: 1.618 (golden extension - most commonly reached)
Extended target: 2.618 (for strong trends)
Extreme target: 3.618 (only in powerful trending moves)
For Counter-Trend Trading (Fading Extremes):
When price reaches deep retracements (0.786 or below), look for exhaustion signals
Watch for divergences between price and momentum indicators at these levels
Enter reversal trades with tight stops below the swing low
Target: 0.5 or 0.382 levels on the bounce
For Trend Continuation:
In strong uptrends, shallow retracements (0.236 to 0.382) often hold
Use these as low-risk entry points to join the existing trend
Failure to hold 0.5 suggests weakening momentum
Breaking below 0.618 often indicates trend reversal, not just retracement
Multi-Timeframe Strategy:
Use daily timeframe Fibonacci for major support/resistance zones
Use 4H or 1H Fibonacci for precise entry timing within those zones
Confluence between multiple timeframe Fibonacci levels creates high-probability zones
Example: Daily 0.618 level aligning with 4H 0.5 level = strong support
Settings Guide:Lookback Period (10-500):
Short (20-50): Captures recent swings, more frequent updates, suited for day trading
Medium (50-150): Balanced approach, good for swing trading (default: 100)
Long (150-500): Identifies major market structure, suited for position trading
Higher values = more stable levels but slower to adapt to new trends
Pivot Sensitivity (1-20):
Controls how many candles are required to confirm a swing point
Low (1-5): More sensitive, identifies minor swings (default: 5)
High (10-20): Less sensitive, only major swings qualify
Use higher sensitivity on lower timeframes to filter noise
Individual Level Toggles:
Enable only the levels you actively trade to reduce chart clutter
Common minimalist setup: Show only 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.618, 2.618
Comprehensive setup: Enable all levels for maximum information
Visual Customization:
Line Thickness: Thicker lines (3-5) for presentation, thinner (1-2) for trading
Line Style: Solid for primary levels (0.5, 0.618, 1.618), dashed/dotted for secondary
Price Labels: Essential for knowing exact entry/exit prices
Percent Labels: Helpful for quickly identifying which Fibonacci level you're looking at
Extension Direction: Extend right for forward-looking analysis, left for historical context
What Makes This Original:While Fibonacci indicators are common on TradingView, this script's originality comes from:
Intelligent Two-Stage Detection: Unlike simple high/low finders, this uses a sequential approach (find low first, then find the high that occurred after it), ensuring logical price flow representation
Comprehensive Level Set: Includes 16 levels spanning from retracement to extreme extensions, more than most Fibonacci tools
Top-Down Methodology: Properly implements the traditional Fibonacci retracement convention (high to low) rather than the reverse
Automatic Range Validation: Only draws Fibonacci when both swing points are valid and in the correct temporal order
Dual Extension Options: Separate controls for extending lines left (historical context) and right (forward projection)
Smart Label Positioning: Places percentage labels on the left and price labels on the right for clarity
Visual Swing Confirmation: Diamond markers at swing points help users understand why levels are positioned where they are
Important Considerations:
Historical Nature: Fibonacci retracements are based on past price swings; they don't predict future moves, only suggest potential support/resistance
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Fibonacci levels work partly because many traders watch them, creating actual support/resistance at those levels
Not All Levels Hold: In strong trends, price may slice through multiple Fibonacci levels without pausing
Context Matters: Fibonacci works best when aligned with other support/resistance (previous highs/lows, moving averages, trendlines)
Volume Confirmation: The most reliable Fibonacci reversals occur with volume spikes at key levels
Dynamic Updates: The levels will redraw as new swing highs/lows form, so don't rely solely on static screenshots
Best Practices:
Don't Trade Blindly: Fibonacci levels are zones, not exact prices. Look for confirmation (candlestick patterns, indicators, volume)
Combine with Price Action: Watch for pin bars, engulfing candles, or doji at key Fibonacci levels
Use Stop Losses: Place stops beyond the next Fibonacci level to give trades room but limit risk
Scale In/Out: Consider entering partial positions at 0.5 and adding more at 0.618 rather than all-in at one level
Check Multiple Timeframes: Daily Fibonacci + 4H Fibonacci convergence = high-probability zone
Respect the 0.618: This golden ratio level is historically the most reliable for reversals
Extensions Need Strong Trends: Don't expect extensions to be hit unless there's clear momentum beyond the swing low
Optimal Timeframes:
Scalping (1-5 minutes): Lookback 20-30, watch 0.382, 0.5, 0.618 only
Day Trading (15m-1H): Lookback 50-100, all retracement levels important
Swing Trading (4H-Daily): Lookback 100-200, focus on 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and extensions
Position Trading (Daily-Weekly): Lookback 200-500, all levels relevant for long-term planning
Common Fibonacci Trading Mistakes to Avoid:
Wrong Swing Selection: Choosing insignificant swings produces meaningless levels
Premature Entry: Entering as soon as price touches a Fibonacci level without confirmation
Ignoring Trend: Fighting the main trend by buying deep retracements in downtrends
Over-Reliance: Using Fibonacci in isolation without confirming with other technical factors
Static Analysis: Not updating your Fibonacci as market structure evolves
Arbitrary Lookback: Using the same lookback period for all assets and timeframes
Integration with Other Tools:Fibonacci + Moving Averages:
When 0.618 level aligns with 50 or 200 EMA, confluence creates stronger support
Price bouncing from both Fibonacci and MA simultaneously = high-probability trade
Fibonacci + RSI/Stochastic:
Oversold indicators at 0.618 or deeper retracements = strong buy signal
Overbought indicators at swing high (1.0) = potential reversal warning
Fibonacci + Volume Profile:
High-volume nodes aligning with Fibonacci levels create robust support/resistance
Low-volume areas near Fibonacci levels may see rapid price movement through them
Fibonacci + Trendlines:
Fibonacci retracement level + ascending trendline = double support
Breaking both simultaneously confirms trend change
Technical Notes:
Uses ta.lowest() and ta.highest() for efficient swing detection across the lookback period
Implements dynamic line and label arrays for clean redraws without memory leaks
All calculations update in real-time as new bars form
Extension options allow customization without modifying core code
Format.mintick ensures price labels match the symbol's minimum price increment
Tooltip on swing markers shows exact price values for precision
Easy [CHE] Easy — Minimalist Pine Script for detecting EMA direction changes to define fixed price zones for simple support and resistance visualization, ideal for manual trading workflows.
Summary
This indicator's programming is kept minimalist and super simple, with core logic in under 20 lines for easy comprehension and modification. It creates fixed price zones based on divergences between a base exponential moving average and its smoother counterpart, helping traders spot potential consolidation or reversal areas without dynamic adjustments. By locking the zone at the high and low of the signal bar, it avoids over-expansion in volatile conditions, offering a stable reference line colored by price position relative to the zone. This approach differs from expanding channels by prioritizing simplicity and persistence until a new qualifying signal, reducing visual clutter while highlighting directional bias through midpoint coloring.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face noisy signals from moving averages that flip frequently in sideways markets or lag during breakouts, leading to premature entries or missed opportunities. This indicator addresses that by focusing on confirmed direction shifts between the base and smoothed averages, then anchoring a non-expanding zone to capture the initial price range of the shift. The result is a cleaner tool for marking equilibrium levels, assuming price respects these bounds in ranging or mildly trending conditions.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional moving average crossovers or simple channels that update every bar.
- Architecture differences:
- Zones are set only on new divergence signals and remain fixed until reset by a gap from the prior zone.
- No ongoing high-low expansion; relies on persistent variables to hold bounds across bars.
- Midpoint plotting with conditional coloring based on close position, plus a highlight for zone initiations.
- Practical effect: Charts show persistent horizontal references instead of drifting lines, making it easier to gauge if price is rejecting or embracing the zone—useful for avoiding false breaks in low-volatility setups.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes a base exponential moving average of closing prices over a user-defined length, then applies a second exponential moving average to smooth that base. It checks if both the base and smoothed values are increasing or decreasing compared to their prior values, indicating aligned direction. A signal triggers when this alignment breaks, marking a potential shift.
On a new signal, if the current bar's high and low fall outside any existing zone (or none exists), the zone bounds update to those extremes and persist via dedicated variables. The midpoint of these bounds becomes the primary plot line, colored green if below the close (bullish lean), red if above (bearish lean), or gray otherwise. A secondary thick line highlights the midpoint briefly when a zone first sets, aiding visual confirmation. No higher timeframe data or external fetches are used, so updates occur on each bar close without lookahead.
Parameter Guide
EMA Length — Sets the period for the base moving average; longer values smooth more, reducing signal frequency but increasing lag. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter for faster response in intraday charts (risks noise); longer for daily trends (may miss early shifts).
Smoother Length — Defines the period for the secondary smoothing on the base average; higher values dampen minor wiggles for stabler direction checks. Default: 3. Trade-offs/Tips: Keep low (2–5) for sensitivity; increase to 7+ if zones trigger too often in choppy markets, at cost of delayed signals.
Reading & Interpretation
The main circle plot at the zone midpoint serves as a dynamic equilibrium line: green suggests price is above the zone (potential strength), red indicates below (potential weakness), and gray shows containment within bounds (neutral consolidation). A sudden thick foreground line at the midpoint flags a fresh zone start, prompting review of the prior bar's context. Absence of a plot means no active zone, implying reliance on price action alone until the next signal.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green midpoint after a higher low touches the zone lower bound, confirmed by structure like higher highs; filter shorts similarly on red with lower highs.
- Exits/Stops: Use the opposite zone bound as a conservative stop (e.g., below lower for longs); trail aggressively to midpoint on strong moves, tightening near gray neutrality.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex and stocks on 1H–Daily; for crypto volatility, shorten EMA Length to 20–30. Pair with volume oscillators for confirmation, avoiding isolated use.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
- Repaint/confirmation: Plots update on bar close using historical closes, so confirmed signals hold; live bars may shift until close but without future references.
- security()/HTF: Not used, eliminating related repaint risks.
- Resources: Minimal overhead—no loops, arrays, or bar limits exceeded; suitable for real-time on any timeframe.
- Known limits: Fixed zones may lag in strong trends (price drifts away without reset); signals skip if no gap from prior zone, potentially missing clustered shifts. Assumes standard OHLC data; untested on non-equity assets.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with EMA Length at 50 and Smoother Length at 3 for balanced daily charts. If signals fire too frequently (e.g., in ranges), extend EMA Length to 100 for fewer but stabler zones. For sluggish response in trends, drop Smoother Length to 2 and EMA Length to 30, monitoring for added noise. In high-vol setups, widen both to 75/5 to filter extremes, trading speed for reliability.
