MRC Supply & Demand Zones by rnd🚀 MRC Supply & Demand Zones: Professional Reversal & Liquidity Detection
MRC Supply & Demand Zones is a premium hybrid trading tool combining two of the most powerful concepts in technical analysis: Mean Reversion and Volume Profile.
This indicator doesn’t just show arrows — it provides deep market context by defining dynamic volatility channels and hidden supply & demand zones based on real volume data from lower timeframes.
🔥 Key Features
1. MRC (Mean Reversion Channel)
At the core lies the SuperSmoother MA (SSMA) — a next-generation moving average that eliminates market noise significantly more effectively than standard SMAs or EMAs, while maintaining minimal lag.
Logic: Price always tends to return to its mean. The indicator constructs dynamic channels (Inner and Outer) around the SSMA based on volatility (True Range).
Signals:
Long (Buy): Price extends beyond the lower outer boundary (oversold) and closes back above it.
Short (Sell): Price extends beyond the upper outer boundary (overbought) and closes back below it.
2. Supply & Demand Zones
This is not just drawing levels based on simple highs and lows. The indicator utilizes Lower Timeframe (LTF) Data to construct a detailed volume profile inside the candles.
How it works: The algorithm scans history, identifies volume imbalances, and highlights zones where major players have shown significant interest.
Visualization: Automatically draws red (Supply) and blue (Demand) rectangles that act as price magnets and strong support/resistance levels.
⚙️ Settings Guide
🔹 Block: MRC Settings (Channel Settings)
Control signal sensitivity and channel width here.
Min Range %:
What: Sets the minimum channel width as a percentage of the current price.
Why: Prevents the channel from squeezing into a "thin line" during flat markets, filtering out false signals during low volatility.
Outer Multiplier:
Default: 1.9
Role: Defines the boundaries for "extreme" overbought/oversold conditions. Higher values result in fewer, but more accurate entry signals.
Inner Multiplier:
Default: 1.0
Role: Defines the boundaries of "normal" price oscillation. Often used as the first target for taking profits (Take Profit).
SSMA Length:
Default: 200
Role: The period of the main trend line. 200 is ideal for defining the long-term trend and the global "center" of price.
Source:
Default: hlc3 (High+Low+Close / 3).
Role: The price data used for calculations.
🔹 Block: Supply & Demand Zones
Controls the liquidity search algorithm.
Supply & Demand Zones (On/Off): Toggle the display of the rectangular zones.
Threshold %: Defines how "significant" the volume must be. Adjusts the filtering of weak zones.
Supply/Demand Zones Color: Select the color and opacity for seller and buyer zones.
Profile Lookback Range:
Fixed Range: Analyzes a fixed number of recent bars.
Visible Range: Analyzes only the bars currently visible on the screen.
Lookback Length: The depth of history (number of bars) for volume analysis (works in Fixed Range mode).
Profile Number of Rows: Profile resolution. Higher numbers result in more detailed and narrower zones.
🔔 Alert System
You will never miss an entry. The indicator includes built-in conditions for creating alerts:
Long Signal: Triggers on a green triangle (upward reversal from the lower boundary).
Short Signal: Triggers on a red triangle (downward reversal from the upper boundary).
💡 Why use this indicator?
This is a ready-made "all-in-one" trading strategy. You get the trend (SSMA), volatility (MRC), and liquidity levels (S&D) in one compact script. It is perfect for scalping and day trading on any asset (Crypto, Forex, Stocks).

Bifurcation Zone - CAEBifurcation Zone — Cognitive Adversarial Engine (BZ-CAE)
Bifurcation Zone — CAE (BZ-CAE) is a next-generation divergence detection system enhanced by a Cognitive Adversarial Engine that evaluates both sides of every potential trade before presenting signals. Unlike traditional divergence indicators that show every price-oscillator disagreement regardless of context, BZ-CAE applies comprehensive market-state intelligence to identify only the divergences that occur in favorable conditions with genuine probability edges.
The system identifies structural bifurcation points — critical junctures where price and momentum disagree, signaling potential reversals or continuations — then validates these opportunities through five interconnected intelligence layers: Trend Conviction Scoring , Directional Momentum Alignment , Multi-Factor Exhaustion Modeling , Adversarial Validation , and Confidence Scoring . The result is a selective, context-aware signal system that filters noise and highlights high-probability setups.
This is not a "buy the arrow" indicator. It's a decision support framework that teaches you how to read market state, evaluate divergence quality, and make informed trading decisions based on quantified intelligence rather than hope.
What Sets BZ-CAE Apart: Technical Architecture
The Problem With Traditional Divergence Indicators
Most divergence indicators operate on a simple rule: if price makes a higher high and RSI makes a lower high, show a bearish signal. If price makes a lower low and RSI makes a higher low, show a bullish signal. This creates several critical problems:
Context Blindness : They show counter-trend signals in powerful trends that rarely reverse, leading to repeated losses as you fade momentum.
Signal Spam : Every minor price-oscillator disagreement generates an alert, overwhelming you with low-quality setups and creating analysis paralysis.
No Quality Ranking : All signals are treated identically. A marginal divergence in choppy conditions receives the same visual treatment as a high-conviction setup at a major exhaustion point.
Single-Sided Evaluation : They ask "Is this a good long?" without checking if the short case is overwhelmingly stronger, leading you into obvious bad trades.
Static Configuration : You manually choose RSI 14 or Stochastic 14 and hope it works, with no systematic way to validate if that's optimal for your instrument.
BZ-CAE's Solution: Cognitive Adversarial Intelligence
BZ-CAE solves these problems through an integrated five-layer intelligence architecture:
1. Trend Conviction Score (TCS) — 0 to 1 Scale
Most indicators check if ADX is above 25 to determine "trending" conditions. This binary approach misses nuance. TCS is a weighted composite metric:
Formula : 0.35 × normalize(ADX, 10, 35) + 0.35 × structural_strength + 0.30 × htf_alignment
Structural Strength : 10-bar SMA of consecutive directional bars. Captures persistence — are bulls or bears consistently winning?
HTF Alignment : Multi-timeframe EMA stacking (20/50/100/200). When all EMAs align in the same direction, you're in institutional trend territory.
Purpose : Quantifies how "locked in" the trend is. When TCS exceeds your threshold (default 0.80), the system knows to avoid counter-trend trades unless other factors override.
Interpretation :
TCS > 0.85: Very strong trend — counter-trading is extremely high risk
TCS 0.70-0.85: Strong trend — favor continuation, require exhaustion for reversals
TCS 0.50-0.70: Moderate trend — context matters, both directions viable
TCS < 0.50: Weak/choppy — reversals more viable, range-bound conditions
2. Directional Momentum Alignment (DMA) — ATR-Normalized
Formula : (EMA21 - EMA55) / ATR14
This isn't just "price above EMA" — it's a regime-aware momentum gauge. The same $100 price movement reads completely differently in high-volatility crypto versus low-volatility forex. By normalizing with ATR, DMA adapts its interpretation to current market conditions.
Purpose : Quantifies the directional "force" behind current price action. Positive = bullish push, negative = bearish push. Magnitude = strength.
Interpretation :
DMA > 0.7: Strong bullish momentum — bearish divergences risky
DMA 0.3 to 0.7: Moderate bullish bias
DMA -0.3 to 0.3: Balanced/choppy conditions
DMA -0.7 to -0.3: Moderate bearish bias
DMA < -0.7: Strong bearish momentum — bullish divergences risky
3. Multi-Factor Exhaustion Modeling — 0 to 1 Probability
Single-metric exhaustion detection (like "RSI > 80") misses complex market states. BZ-CAE aggregates five independent exhaustion signals:
Volume Spikes : Current volume versus 50-bar average
2.5x average: 0.25 weight
2.0x average: 0.15 weight
1.5x average: 0.10 weight
Divergence Present : The fact that a divergence exists contributes 0.30 weight — structural momentum disagreement is itself an exhaustion signal.
RSI Extremes : Captures oscillator climax zones
RSI > 80 or < 20: 0.25 weight
RSI > 75 or < 25: 0.15 weight
Pin Bar Detection : Identifies rejection candles (2:1 wick-to-body ratio, indicating failed breakout attempts): 0.15 weight
Extended Runs : Consecutive bars above/below EMA20 without pullback
30+ bars: 0.15 weight (market hasn't paused to consolidate)
Total exhaustion score is the sum of all applicable weights, capped at 1.0.
Purpose : Detects when strong trends become vulnerable to reversal. High exhaustion can override trend filters, allowing counter-trend trades at genuine turning points that basic indicators would miss.
Interpretation :
Exhaustion > 0.75: High probability of climax — yellow background shading alerts you visually
Exhaustion 0.50-0.75: Moderate overextension — watch for confirmation
Exhaustion < 0.50: Fresh move — trend can continue, counter-trend trades higher risk
4. Adversarial Validation — Game Theory Applied to Trading
This is BZ-CAE's signature innovation. Before approving any signal, the engine quantifies BOTH sides of the trade simultaneously:
For Bullish Divergences , it calculates:
Bull Case Score (0-1+) :
Distance below EMA20 (pullback quality): up to 0.25
Bullish EMA alignment (close > EMA20 > EMA50): 0.25
Oversold RSI (< 40): 0.25
Volume confirmation (> 1.2x average): 0.25
Bear Case Score (0-1+) :
Price below EMA50 (structural weakness): 0.30
Very oversold RSI (< 30, indicating knife-catching): 0.20
Differential = Bull Case - Bear Case
If differential < -0.10 (default threshold), the bear case is dominating — signal is BLOCKED or ANNOTATED.
For Bearish Divergences , the logic inverts (Bear Case vs Bull Case).
Purpose : Prevents trades where you're fighting obvious strength in the opposite direction. This is institutional-grade risk management — don't just evaluate your trade, evaluate the counter-trade simultaneously.
Why This Matters : You might see a bullish divergence at a local low, but if price is deeply below major support EMAs with strong bearish momentum, you're catching a falling knife. The adversarial check catches this and blocks the signal.
5. Confidence Scoring — 0 to 1 Quality Assessment
Every signal that passes initial filters receives a comprehensive quality score:
Formula :
0.30 × normalize(TCS) // Trend context
+ 0.25 × normalize(|DMA|) // Momentum magnitude
+ 0.20 × pullback_quality // Entry distance from EMA20
+ 0.15 × state_quality // ADX + alignment + structure
+ 0.10 × divergence_strength // Slope separation magnitude
+ adversarial_bonus (0-0.30) // Your side's advantage
Purpose : Ranks setup quality for filtering and position sizing decisions. You can set a minimum confidence threshold (default 0.35) to ensure only quality setups reach your chart.
Interpretation :
Confidence > 0.70: Premium setup — consider increased position size
Confidence 0.50-0.70: Good quality — standard size
Confidence 0.35-0.50: Acceptable — reduced size or skip if conservative
Confidence < 0.35: Marginal — blocked in Filtering mode, annotated in Advisory mode
CAE Operating Modes: Learning vs Enforcement
Off : Disables all CAE logic. Raw divergence pipeline only. Use for baseline comparison.
Advisory : Shows ALL signals regardless of CAE evaluation, but annotates signals that WOULD be blocked with specific warnings (e.g., "Bull: strong downtrend (TCS=0.87)" or "Adversarial bearish"). This is your learning mode — see CAE's decision logic in action without missing educational opportunities.
Filtering : Actively blocks low-quality signals. Only setups that pass all enabled gates (Trend Filter, Adversarial Validation, Confidence Gating) reach your chart. This is your live trading mode — trust the system to enforce discipline.
CAE Filter Gates: Three-Layer Protection
When CAE is enabled, signals must pass through three independent gates (each can be toggled on/off):
Gate 1: Strong Trend Filter
If TCS ≥ tcs_threshold (default 0.80)
And signal is counter-trend (bullish in downtrend or bearish in uptrend)
And exhaustion < exhaustion_required (default 0.50)
Then: BLOCK signal
Logic: Don't fade strong trends unless the move is clearly overextended
Gate 2: Adversarial Validation
Calculate both bull case and bear case scores
If opposing case dominates by more than adv_threshold (default 0.10)
Then: BLOCK signal
Logic: Avoid trades where you're fighting obvious strength in the opposite direction
Gate 3: Confidence Gating
Calculate composite confidence score (0-1)
If confidence < min_confidence (default 0.35)
Then: In Filtering mode, BLOCK signal; in Advisory mode, ANNOTATE with warning
Logic: Only take setups with minimum quality threshold
All three gates work together. A signal must pass ALL enabled gates to fire.
Visual Intelligence System
Bifurcation Zones (Supply/Demand Blocks)
When a divergence signal fires, BZ-CAE draws a semi-transparent box extending 15 bars forward from the signal pivot:
Demand Zones (Bullish) : Theme-colored box (cyan in Cyberpunk, blue in Professional, etc.) labeled "Demand" — marks where smart money likely placed buy orders as price diverged at the low.
Supply Zones (Bearish) : Theme-colored box (magenta in Cyberpunk, orange in Professional) labeled "Supply" — marks where smart money likely placed sell orders as price diverged at the high.
Theory : Divergences represent institutional disagreement with the crowd. The crowd pushed price to an extreme (new high or low), but momentum (oscillator) is waning, indicating smart money is taking the opposite side. These zones mark order placement areas that become future support/resistance.
Use Cases :
Exit targets: Take profit when price returns to opposite-side zone
Re-entry levels: If price returns to your entry zone, consider adding
Stop placement: Place stops just beyond your zone (below demand, above supply)
Auto-Cleanup : System keeps the last 20 zones to prevent chart clutter.
Adversarial Bar Coloring — Real-Time Market Debate Heatmap
Each bar is colored based on the Bull Case vs Bear Case differential:
Strong Bull Advantage (diff > 0.3): Full theme bull color (e.g., cyan)
Moderate Bull Advantage (diff > 0.1): 50% transparency bull
Neutral (diff -0.1 to 0.1): Gray/neutral theme
Moderate Bear Advantage (diff < -0.1): 50% transparency bear
Strong Bear Advantage (diff < -0.3): Full theme bear color (e.g., magenta)
This creates a real-time visual heatmap showing which side is "winning" the market debate. When bars flip from cyan to magenta (or vice versa), you're witnessing a shift in adversarial advantage — a leading indicator of potential momentum changes.
Exhaustion Shading
When exhaustion score exceeds 0.75, the chart background displays a semi-transparent yellow highlight. This immediate visual warning alerts you that the current move is at high risk of reversal, even if trend indicators remain strong.
Visual Themes — Six Aesthetic Options
Cyberpunk : Cyan/Magenta/Yellow — High contrast, neon aesthetic, excellent for dark-themed trading environments
Professional : Blue/Orange/Green — Corporate color palette, suitable for presentations and professional documentation
Ocean : Teal/Red/Cyan — Aquatic palette, calming for extended monitoring sessions
Fire : Orange/Red/Coral — Warm aggressive colors, high energy
Matrix : Green/Red/Lime — Code aesthetic, homage to classic hacker visuals
Monochrome : White/Gray — Minimal distraction, maximum focus on price action
All visual elements (signal markers, zones, bar colors, dashboard) adapt to your selected theme.
Divergence Engine — Core Detection System
What Are Divergences?
Divergences occur when price action and momentum indicators disagree, creating structural tension that often resolves in a change of direction:
Regular Divergence (Reversal Signal) :
Bearish Regular : Price makes higher high, oscillator makes lower high → Potential trend reversal down
Bullish Regular : Price makes lower low, oscillator makes higher low → Potential trend reversal up
Hidden Divergence (Continuation Signal) :
Bearish Hidden : Price makes lower high, oscillator makes higher high → Downtrend continuation
Bullish Hidden : Price makes higher low, oscillator makes lower low → Uptrend continuation
Both types can be enabled/disabled independently in settings.
Pivot Detection Methods
BZ-CAE uses symmetric pivot detection with separate lookback and lookforward periods (default 5/5):
Pivot High : Bar where high > all highs within lookback range AND high > all highs within lookforward range
Pivot Low : Bar where low < all lows within lookback range AND low < all lows within lookforward range
This ensures structural validity — the pivot must be a clear local extreme, not just a minor wiggle.
Divergence Validation Requirements
For a divergence to be confirmed, it must satisfy:
Slope Disagreement : Price slope and oscillator slope must move in opposite directions (for regular divs) or same direction with inverted highs/lows (for hidden divs)
Minimum Slope Change : |osc_slope| > min_slope_change / 100 (default 1.0) — filters weak, marginal divergences
Maximum Lookback Range : Pivots must be within max_lookback bars (default 60) — prevents ancient, irrelevant divergences
ATR-Normalized Strength : Divergence strength = min(|price_slope| × |osc_slope| × 10, 1.0) — quantifies the magnitude of disagreement in volatility context
Regular divergences receive 1.0× weight; hidden divergences receive 0.8× weight (slightly less reliable historically).
Oscillator Options — Five Professional Indicators
RSI (Relative Strength Index) : Classic overbought/oversold momentum indicator. Best for: General purpose divergence detection across all instruments.
Stochastic : Range-bound %K momentum comparing close to high-low range. Best for: Mean reversion strategies and range-bound markets.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index) : Measures deviation from statistical mean, auto-normalized to 0-100 scale. Best for: Cyclical instruments and commodities.
MFI (Money Flow Index) : Volume-weighted RSI incorporating money flow. Best for: Volume-driven markets like stocks and crypto.
Williams %R : Inverse stochastic looking back over period, auto-adjusted to 0-100. Best for: Reversal detection at extremes.
Each oscillator has adjustable length (2-200, default 14) and smoothing (1-20, default 1). You also set overbought (50-100, default 70) and oversold (0-50, default 30) thresholds.
Signal Timing Modes — Understanding Repainting
BZ-CAE offers two timing policies with complete transparency about repainting behavior:
Realtime (1-bar, peak-anchored)
How It Works :
Detects peaks 1 bar ago using pattern: high > high AND high > high
Signal prints on the NEXT bar after peak detection (bar_index)
Visual marker anchors to the actual PEAK bar (bar_index - 1, offset -1)
Signal locks in when bar CONFIRMS (closes)
Repainting Behavior :
On the FORMING bar (before close), the peak condition may change as new prices arrive
Once bar CLOSES (barstate.isconfirmed), signal is locked permanently
This is preview/early warning behavior by design
Best For :
Active monitoring and immediate alerts
Learning the system (seeing signals develop in real-time)
Responsive entry if you're watching the chart live
Confirmed (lookforward)
How It Works :
Uses Pine Script's built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions
Requires full pivot validation period (lookback + lookforward bars)
Signal prints pivot_lookforward bars after the actual peak (default 5-bar delay)
Visual marker anchors to the actual peak bar (offset -pivot_lookforward)
No Repainting Behavior
Best For :
Backtesting and historical analysis
Conservative entries requiring full confirmation
Automated trading systems
Swing trading with larger timeframes
Tradeoff :
Delayed entry by pivot_lookforward bars (typically 5 bars)
On a 5-minute chart, this is a 25-minute delay
On a 4-hour chart, this is a 20-hour delay
Recommendation : Use Confirmed for backtesting to verify system performance honestly. Use Realtime for live monitoring only if you're actively watching the chart and understand pre-confirmation repainting behavior.
Signal Spacing System — Anti-Spam Architecture
Even after CAE filtering, raw divergences can cluster. The spacing system enforces separation:
Three Independent Filters
1. Min Bars Between ANY Signals (default 12):
Prevents rapid-fire clustering across both directions
If last signal (bull or bear) was within N bars, block new signal
Ensures breathing room between all setups
2. Min Bars Between SAME-SIDE Signals (default 24, optional enforcement):
Prevents bull-bull or bear-bear spam
Separate tracking for bullish and bearish signal timelines
Toggle enforcement on/off
3. Min ATR Distance From Last Signal (default 0, optional):
Requires price to move N × ATR from last signal location
Ensures meaningful price movement between setups
0 = disabled, 0.5-2.0 = typical range for enabled
All three filters work independently. A signal must pass ALL enabled filters to proceed.
Practical Guidance :
Scalping (1-5m) : Any 6-10, Same-side 12-20, ATR 0-0.5
Day Trading (15m-1H) : Any 12, Same-side 24, ATR 0-1.0
Swing Trading (4H-D) : Any 20-30, Same-side 40-60, ATR 1.0-2.0
Dashboard — Real-Time Control Center

State: OVERBOUGHT / OVERSOLD / NEUTRAL (color-coded)
Length parameter
Cognitive Engine Section
TCS (Trend Conviction Score) :
Current value with emoji state indicator
🔥 = Strong trend (>0.75)
📊 = Moderate trend (0.50-0.75)
〰️ = Weak/choppy (<0.50)
Color: Red if above threshold (trend filter active), yellow if moderate, green if weak
DMA (Directional Momentum Alignment) :
Current value with emoji direction indicator

Last Signal Metrics Section (New Feature)
When a signal fires, this section captures and displays:
Signal type (BULL or BEAR)
Bars elapsed since signal
Confidence % at time of signal
TCS value at signal time
DMA value at signal time
Purpose : Provides a historical reference for learning. You can see what the market state looked like when the last signal fired, helping you correlate outcomes with conditions.
Statistics Section
Total Signals : Lifetime count across session
Blocked Signals : Count and percentage (filter effectiveness metric)
Bull Signals : Total bullish divergences
Bear Signals : Total bearish divergences
Purpose : System health monitoring. If blocked % is very high (>60%), filters may be too strict. If very low (<10%), filters may be too loose.
Advisory Annotations
When CAE Mode = Advisory, this section displays warnings for signals that would be blocked in Filtering mode:
Examples:
"Bull spacing: wait 8 bars"
"Bear: strong uptrend (TCS=0.87)"
"Adversarial bearish"
"Low confidence 32%"
Multiple warnings can stack, separated by " | ". This teaches you CAE's decision logic transparently.
How to Use BZ-CAE — Complete Workflow
Phase 1: Initial Setup (First Session)
Apply BZ-CAE to your chart
Select your preferred Visual Theme (Cyberpunk recommended for visibility)
Set Signal Timing to "Confirmed (lookforward)" for learning
Choose your Oscillator Type (RSI recommended for general use, length 14)
Set Overbought/Oversold to 70/30 (standard)
Enable both Regular Divergence and Hidden Divergence
Set Pivot Lookback/Lookforward to 5/5 (balanced structure)
Enable CAE Intelligence
Set CAE Mode to "Advisory" (learning mode)
Enable all three CAE filters: Strong Trend Filter , Adversarial Validation , Confidence Gating
Enable Show Dashboard , position Top Right, size Normal
Enable Draw Bifurcation Zones and Adversarial Bar Coloring
Phase 2: Learning Period (Weeks 1-2)
Goal : Understand how CAE evaluates market state and filters signals.
Activities :
Watch the dashboard during signals :
Note TCS values when counter-trend signals fail — this teaches you the trend strength threshold for your instrument
Observe exhaustion patterns at actual turning points — learn when overextension truly matters
Study adversarial differential at signal times — see when opposing cases dominate
Review blocked signals (orange X-crosses):
In Advisory mode, you see everything — signals that would pass AND signals that would be blocked
Check the advisory annotations to understand why CAE would block
Track outcomes: Were the blocks correct? Did those signals fail?
Use Last Signal Metrics :
After each signal, check the dashboard capture of confidence, TCS, and DMA
Journal these values alongside trade outcomes
Identify patterns: Do confidence >0.70 signals work better? Does your instrument respect TCS >0.85?
Understand your instrument's "personality" :
Trending instruments (indices, major forex) may need TCS threshold 0.85-0.90
Choppy instruments (low-cap stocks, exotic pairs) may work best with TCS 0.70-0.75
High-volatility instruments (crypto) may need wider spacing
Low-volatility instruments may need tighter spacing
Phase 3: Calibration (Weeks 3-4)
Goal : Optimize settings for your specific instrument, timeframe, and style.
Calibration Checklist :
Min Confidence Threshold :
Review confidence distribution in your signal journal
Identify the confidence level below which signals consistently fail
Set min_confidence slightly above that level
Day trading : 0.35-0.45
Swing trading : 0.40-0.55
Scalping : 0.30-0.40
TCS Threshold :
Find the TCS level where counter-trend signals consistently get stopped out
Set tcs_threshold at or slightly below that level
Trending instruments : 0.85-0.90
Mixed instruments : 0.80-0.85
Choppy instruments : 0.75-0.80
Exhaustion Override Level :
Identify exhaustion readings that marked genuine reversals
Set exhaustion_required just below the average
Typical range : 0.45-0.55
Adversarial Threshold :
Default 0.10 works for most instruments
If you find CAE is too conservative (blocking good trades), raise to 0.15-0.20
If signals are still getting caught in opposing momentum, lower to 0.07-0.09
Spacing Parameters :
Count bars between quality signals in your journal
Set min bars ANY to ~60% of that average
Set min bars SAME-SIDE to ~120% of that average
Scalping : Any 6-10, Same 12-20
Day trading : Any 12, Same 24
Swing : Any 20-30, Same 40-60
Oscillator Selection :
Try different oscillators for 1-2 weeks each
Track win rate and average winner/loser by oscillator type
RSI : Best for general use, clear OB/OS
Stochastic : Best for range-bound, mean reversion
MFI : Best for volume-driven markets
CCI : Best for cyclical instruments
Williams %R : Best for reversal detection
Phase 4: Live Deployment
Goal : Disciplined execution with proven, calibrated system.
Settings Changes :
Switch CAE Mode from Advisory to Filtering
System now actively blocks low-quality signals
Only setups passing all gates reach your chart
Keep Signal Timing on Confirmed for conservative entries
OR switch to Realtime if you're actively monitoring and want faster entries (accept pre-confirmation repaint risk)
Use your calibrated thresholds from Phase 3
Enable high-confidence alerts: "⭐ High Confidence Bullish/Bearish" (>0.70)
Trading Discipline Rules :
Respect Blocked Signals :
If CAE blocks a trade you wanted to take, TRUST THE SYSTEM
Don't manually override — if you consistently disagree, return to Phase 2/3 calibration
The block exists because market state failed intelligence checks
Confidence-Based Position Sizing :
Confidence >0.70: Standard or increased size (e.g., 1.5-2.0% risk)
Confidence 0.50-0.70: Standard size (e.g., 1.0% risk)
Confidence 0.35-0.50: Reduced size (e.g., 0.5% risk) or skip if conservative
TCS-Based Management :
High TCS + counter-trend signal: Use tight stops, quick exits (you're fading momentum)
Low TCS + reversal signal: Use wider stops, trail aggressively (genuine reversal potential)
Exhaustion Awareness :
Exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading): Market is overextended, reversal risk is elevated — consider early exit or tighter trailing stops even on winning trades
Exhaustion <0.30: Continuation bias — hold for larger move, wide trailing stops
Adversarial Context :
Strong differential against you (e.g., bullish signal with bear diff <-0.2): Use very tight stops, consider skipping
Strong differential with you (e.g., bullish signal with bull diff >0.2): Trail aggressively, this is your tailwind
Practical Settings by Timeframe & Style
Scalping (1-5 Minute Charts)
Objective : High frequency, tight stops, quick reversals in fast-moving markets.
Oscillator :
Type: RSI or Stochastic (fast response to quick moves)
Length: 9-11 (more responsive than standard 14)
Smoothing: 1 (no lag)
OB/OS: 65/35 (looser thresholds ensure frequent crossings in fast conditions)
Divergence :
Pivot Lookback/Lookforward: 3/3 (tight structure, catch small swings)
Max Lookback: 40-50 bars (recent structure only)
Min Slope Change: 0.8-1.0 (don't be overly strict)
CAE :
Mode: Advisory first (learn), then Filtering
Min Confidence: 0.30-0.35 (lower bar for speed, accept more signals)
TCS Threshold: 0.70-0.75 (allow more counter-trend opportunities)
Exhaustion Required: 0.45-0.50 (moderate override)
Strong Trend Filter: ON (still respect major intraday trends)
Adversarial: ON (critical for scalping protection — catches bad entries quickly)
Spacing :
Min Bars ANY: 6-10 (fast pace, many setups)
Min Bars SAME-SIDE: 12-20 (prevent clustering)
Min ATR Distance: 0 or 0.5 (loose)
Timing : Realtime (speed over precision, but understand repaint risk)
Visuals :
Signal Size: Tiny (chart clarity in busy conditions)
Show Zones: Optional (can clutter on low timeframes)
Bar Coloring: ON (helps read momentum shifts quickly)
Dashboard: Small size (corner reference, not main focus)
Key Consideration : Scalping generates noise. Even with CAE, expect lower win rate (45-55%) but aim for favorable R:R (2:1 or better). Size conservatively.

Exhaustion Required: 0.50 (balanced override threshold)
Strong Trend Filter: ON
Adversarial: ON
Confidence Gating: ON (all three filters active)
Spacing :
Min Bars ANY: 12 (breathing room between all setups)
Min Bars SAME-SIDE: 24 (prevent bull/bear clusters)
Min ATR Distance: 0-1.0 (optional refinement, typically 0.5-1.0)
Timing : Confirmed (1-bar delay for reliability, no repainting)
Visuals :
Signal Size: Tiny or Small
Show Zones: ON (useful reference for exits/re-entries)
Bar Coloring: ON (context awareness)
Dashboard: Normal size (full visibility)
Key Consideration : This is the "sweet spot" timeframe for BZ-CAE. Market structure is clear, CAE has sufficient data, and signal frequency is manageable. Expect 55-65% win rate with proper execution.
Swing Trading (4-Hour to Daily Charts)
Objective : Quality over quantity. High conviction only. Larger stops and targets.
Oscillator :
Type: RSI or CCI (robust on higher timeframes, smooth longer waves)
Length: 14-21 (capture larger momentum swings)
Smoothing: 1-3
OB/OS: 70/30 or 75/25 (strict extremes)
Divergence :
Pivot Lookback/Lookforward: 5/5 or 7/7 (structural purity, major swings only)
Max Lookback: 80-100 bars (broader historical context)
Min Slope Change: 1.2-1.5 (require strong, undeniable divergence)
CAE :
Mode: Filtering (strict enforcement, premium setups only)
Min Confidence: 0.40-0.55 (high bar for entry)
TCS Threshold: 0.85-0.95 (very strong trend protection — don't fade established HTF trends)
Exhaustion Required: 0.50-0.60 (higher bar for override — only extreme exhaustion justifies counter-trend)
Strong Trend Filter: ON (critical on HTF)
Adversarial: ON (avoid obvious bad trades)
Confidence Gating: ON (quality gate essential)
Spacing :
Min Bars ANY: 20-30 (substantial separation)
Min Bars SAME-SIDE: 40-60 (significant breathing room)
Min ATR Distance: 1.0-2.0 (require meaningful price movement)
Timing : Confirmed (purity over speed, zero repaint for swing accuracy)
Visuals :
Signal Size: Small or Normal (clear markers on zoomed-out view)
Show Zones: ON (important HTF levels)
Bar Coloring: ON (long-term trend awareness)
Dashboard: Normal or Large (comprehensive analysis)
Key Consideration : Swing signals are rare but powerful. Expect 2-5 signals per month per instrument. Win rate should be 60-70%+ due to stringent filtering. Position size can be larger given confidence.
Dashboard Interpretation Reference
TCS (Trend Conviction Score) States
0.00-0.50: Weak/Choppy
Emoji: 〰️
Color: Green/cyan
Meaning: No established trend. Range-bound or consolidating. Both reversal and continuation signals viable.
Action: Reversals (regular divs) are safer. Use wider profit targets (market has room to move). Consider mean reversion strategies.
0.50-0.75: Moderate Trend
Emoji: 📊
Color: Yellow/neutral
Meaning: Developing trend but not locked in. Context matters significantly.
Action: Check DMA and exhaustion. If DMA confirms trend and exhaustion is low, favor continuation (hidden divs). If exhaustion is high, reversals are viable.
0.75-0.85: Strong Trend
Emoji: 🔥
Color: Orange/warning
Meaning: Well-established trend with persistence. Counter-trend is high risk.
Action: Require exhaustion >0.50 for counter-trend entries. Favor continuation signals. Use tight stops on counter-trend attempts.
0.85-1.00: Very Strong Trend
Emoji: 🔥🔥
Color: Red/danger (if counter-trading)
Meaning: Locked-in institutional trend. Extremely high risk to fade.
Action: Avoid counter-trend unless exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading). Focus exclusively on continuation opportunities. Momentum is king here.
DMA (Directional Momentum Alignment) Zones
-2.0 to -1.0: Strong Bearish Momentum
Emoji: 🐻🐻
Color: Dark red
Meaning: Powerful downside force. Sellers are in control.
Action: Bullish divergences are counter-momentum (high risk). Bearish divergences are with-momentum (lower risk). Size down on longs.
-0.5 to 0.5: Neutral/Balanced
Emoji: ⚖️
Color: Gray/neutral
Meaning: No strong directional bias. Choppy or consolidating.
Action: Both directions have similar probability. Focus on confidence score and adversarial differential for edge.
1.0 to 2.0: Strong Bullish Momentum
Emoji: 🐂🐂
Color: Bright green/cyan
Meaning: Powerful upside force. Buyers are in control.
Action: Bearish divergences are counter-momentum (high risk). Bullish divergences are with-momentum (lower risk). Size down on shorts.
Exhaustion States
0.00-0.50: Fresh Move
Emoji: ✓
Color: Green
Meaning: Trend is healthy, not overextended. Room to run.
Action: Counter-trend trades are premature. Favor continuation. Hold winners for larger moves. Avoid early exits.
0.50-0.75: Mature Move
Emoji: 🟡
Color: Yellow
Meaning: Move is aging. Watch for signs of climax.
Action: Tighten trailing stops on winning trades. Be ready for reversals. Don't add to positions aggressively.
0.75-0.85: High Exhaustion
Emoji: ⚠️
Color: Orange
Background: Yellow shading appears
Meaning: Move is overextended. Reversal risk elevated significantly.
Action: Counter-trend reversals are higher probability. Consider early exits on with-trend positions. Size up on reversal divergences (if CAE allows).
0.85-1.00: Critical Exhaustion
Emoji: ⚠️⚠️
Color: Red
Background: Yellow shading intensifies
Meaning: Climax conditions. Reversal imminent or underway.
Action: Aggressive reversal trades justified. Exit all with-trend positions. This is where major turns occur.
Confidence Score Tiers
0.00-0.30: Low Quality
Color: Red
Status: Blocked in Filtering mode
Action: Skip entirely. Setup lacks fundamental quality across multiple factors.
0.30-0.50: Moderate Quality
Color: Yellow/orange
Status: Marginal — passes in Filtering only if >min_confidence
Action: Reduced position size (0.5-0.75% risk). Tight stops. Conservative profit targets. Skip if you're selective.
0.50-0.70: High Quality
Color: Green/cyan
Status: Good setup across most quality factors
Action: Standard position size (1.0-1.5% risk). Normal stops and targets. This is your bread-and-butter trade.
0.70-1.00: Premium Quality
Color: Bright green/gold
Status: Exceptional setup — all factors aligned
Visual: Double confidence ring appears
Action: Consider increased position size (1.5-2.0% risk, maximum). Wider stops. Larger targets. High probability of success. These are rare — capitalize when they appear.
Adversarial Differential Interpretation
Bull Differential > 0.3 :
Visual: Strong cyan/green bar colors
Meaning: Bull case strongly dominates. Buyers have clear advantage.
Action: Bullish divergences favored (with-advantage). Bearish divergences face headwind (reduce size or skip). Momentum is bullish.
Bull Differential 0.1 to 0.3 :
Visual: Moderate cyan/green transparency
Meaning: Moderate bull advantage. Buyers have edge but not overwhelming.
Action: Both directions viable. Slight bias toward longs.
Differential -0.1 to 0.1 :
Visual: Gray/neutral bars
Meaning: Balanced debate. No clear advantage either side.
Action: Rely on other factors (confidence, TCS, exhaustion) for direction. Adversarial is neutral.
Bear Differential -0.3 to -0.1 :
Visual: Moderate red/magenta transparency
Meaning: Moderate bear advantage. Sellers have edge but not overwhelming.
Action: Both directions viable. Slight bias toward shorts.
Bear Differential < -0.3 :
Visual: Strong red/magenta bar colors
Meaning: Bear case strongly dominates. Sellers have clear advantage.
Action: Bearish divergences favored (with-advantage). Bullish divergences face headwind (reduce size or skip). Momentum is bearish.
Last Signal Metrics — Post-Trade Analysis
After a signal fires, dashboard captures:
Type : BULL or BEAR
Bars Ago : How long since signal (updates every bar)
Confidence : What was the quality score at signal time
TCS : What was trend conviction at signal time
DMA : What was momentum alignment at signal time
Use Case : Post-trade journaling and learning.
Example: "BULL signal 12 bars ago. Confidence: 68%, TCS: 0.42, DMA: -0.85"
Analysis : This was a bullish reversal (regular div) with good confidence, weak trend (TCS), but strong bearish momentum (DMA). The bet was that momentum would reverse — a counter-momentum play requiring exhaustion confirmation. Check if exhaustion was high at that time to justify the entry.
Track patterns:
Do your best trades have confidence >0.65?
Do low-TCS signals (<0.50) work better for you?
Are you more successful with-momentum (DMA aligned with signal) or counter-momentum?
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem: No Signals Appearing
Symptoms : Chart loads, dashboard shows metrics, but no divergence signals fire.
Diagnosis Checklist :
Check dashboard oscillator value : Is it crossing OB/OS levels (70/30)? If oscillator stays in 40-60 range constantly, it can't reach extremes needed for divergence detection.
Are pivots forming? : Look for local swing highs/lows on your chart. If price is in tight consolidation, pivots may not meet lookback/lookforward requirements.
Is spacing too tight? : Check "Last Signal" metrics — how many bars since last signal? If <12 and your min_bars_ANY is 12, spacing filter is blocking.
Is CAE blocking everything? : Check dashboard Statistics section — what's the blocked signal count? High blocks indicate overly strict filters.
Solutions :
Loosen OB/OS Temporarily :
Try 65/35 to verify divergence detection works
If signals appear, the issue was threshold strictness
Gradually tighten back to 67/33, then 70/30 as appropriate
Lower Min Confidence :
Try 0.25-0.30 (diagnostic level)
If signals appear, filter was too strict
Raise gradually to find sweet spot (0.35-0.45 typical)
Disable Strong Trend Filter Temporarily :
Turn off in CAE settings
If signals appear, TCS threshold was blocking everything
Re-enable and lower TCS_threshold to 0.70-0.75
Reduce Min Slope Change :
Try 0.7-0.8 (from default 1.0)
Allows weaker divergences through
Helpful on low-volatility instruments
Widen Spacing :
Set min_bars_ANY to 6-8
Set min_bars_SAME_SIDE to 12-16
Reduces time between allowed signals
Check Timing Mode :
If using Confirmed, remember there's a pivot_lookforward delay (5+ bars)
Switch to Realtime temporarily to verify system is working
Realtime has no delay but repaints
Verify Oscillator Settings :
Length 14 is standard but might not fit all instruments
Try length 9-11 for faster response
Try length 18-21 for slower, smoother response
Problem: Too Many Signals (Signal Spam)
Symptoms : Dashboard shows 50+ signals in Statistics, confidence scores mostly <0.40, signals clustering close together.
Solutions :
Raise Min Confidence :
Try 0.40-0.50 (quality filter)
Blocks bottom-tier setups
Targets top 50-60% of divergences only
Tighten OB/OS :
Use 70/30 or 75/25
Requires more extreme oscillator readings
Reduces false divergences in mid-range
Increase Min Slope Change :
Try 1.2-1.5 (from default 1.0)
Requires stronger, more obvious divergences
Filters marginal slope disagreements
Raise TCS Threshold :
Try 0.85-0.90 (from default 0.80)
Stricter trend filter blocks more counter-trend attempts
Favors only strongest trend alignment
Enable ALL CAE Gates :
Turn on Trend Filter + Adversarial + Confidence
Triple-layer protection
Blocks aggressively — expect 20-40% reduction in signals
Widen Spacing :
min_bars_ANY: 15-20 (from 12)
min_bars_SAME_SIDE: 30-40 (from 24)
Creates substantial breathing room
Switch to Confirmed Timing :
Removes realtime preview noise
Ensures full pivot validation
5-bar delay filters many false starts
Problem: Signals in Strong Trends Get Stopped Out
Symptoms : You take a bullish divergence in a downtrend (or bearish in uptrend), and it immediately fails. Dashboard showed high TCS at the time.
Analysis : This is INTENDED behavior — CAE is protecting you from low-probability counter-trend trades.
Understanding :
Check Last Signal Metrics in dashboard — what was TCS when signal fired?
If TCS was >0.85 and signal was counter-trend, CAE correctly identified it as high risk
Strong trends rarely reverse cleanly without major exhaustion
Your losses here are the system working as designed (blocking bad odds)
If You Want to Override (Not Recommended) :
Lower TCS_threshold to 0.70-0.75 (allows more counter-trend)
Lower exhaustion_required to 0.40 (easier override)
Disable Strong Trend Filter entirely (very risky)
Better Approach :
TRUST THE FILTER — it's preventing costly mistakes
Wait for exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading) before counter-trending strong TCS
Focus on continuation signals (hidden divs) in high-TCS environments
Use Advisory mode to see what CAE is blocking and learn from outcomes
Problem: Adversarial Blocking Seems Wrong
Symptoms : You see a divergence that "looks good" visually, but CAE blocks with "Adversarial bearish/bullish" warning.
Diagnosis :
Check dashboard Bull Case and Bear Case scores at that moment
Look at Differential value
Check adversarial bar colors — was there strong coloring against your intended direction?
Understanding :
Adversarial catches "obvious" opposing momentum that's easy to miss
Example: Bullish divergence at a local low, BUT price is deeply below EMA50, bearish momentum is strong, and RSI shows knife-catching conditions
Bull Case might be 0.20 while Bear Case is 0.55
Differential = -0.35, far beyond threshold
Block is CORRECT — you'd be fighting overwhelming opposing flow
If You Disagree Consistently
Review blocked signals on chart — scroll back and check outcomes
Did those blocked signals actually work, or did they fail as adversarial predicted?
Raise adv_threshold to 0.15-0.20 (more permissive, allows closer battles)
Disable Adversarial Validation temporarily (diagnostic) to isolate its effect
Use Advisory mode to learn adversarial patterns over 50-100 signals
Remember : Adversarial is conservative BY DESIGN. It prevents "obvious" bad trades where you're fighting strong strength the other way.
Problem: Dashboard Not Showing or Incomplete
Solutions :
Toggle "Show Dashboard" to ON in settings
Try different dashboard sizes (Small/Normal/Large)
Try different positions (Top Left/Right, Bottom Left/Right) — might be off-screen
Some sections require CAE Enable = ON (Cognitive Engine section won't appear if CAE is disabled)
Statistics section requires at least 1 lifetime signal to populate
Check that visual theme is set (dashboard colors adapt to theme)
Problem: Performance Lag, Chart Freezing
Symptoms : Chart loading is slow, indicator calculations cause delays, pinch-to-zoom lags.
Diagnosis : Visual features are computationally expensive, especially adversarial bar coloring (recalculates every bar).
Solutions (In Order of Impact) :
Disable Adversarial Bar Coloring (MOST EXPENSIVE):
Turn OFF "Adversarial Bar Coloring" in settings
This is the single biggest performance drain
Immediate improvement
Reduce Vertical Lines :
Lower "Keep last N vertical lines" to 20-30
Or set to 0 to disable entirely
Moderate improvement
Disable Bifurcation Zones :
Turn OFF "Draw Bifurcation Zones"
Reduces box drawing calculations
Moderate improvement
Set Dashboard Size to Small :
Smaller dashboard = fewer cells = less rendering
Minor improvement
Use Shorter Max Lookback :
Reduce max_lookback to 40-50 (from 60+)
Fewer bars to scan for divergences
Minor improvement
Disable Exhaustion Shading :
Turn OFF "Show Market State"
Removes background coloring calculations
Minor improvement
Extreme Performance Mode :
Disable ALL visual enhancements
Keep only triangle markers
Dashboard Small or OFF
Use Minimal theme if available
Problem: Realtime Signals Repainting
Symptoms : You see a signal appear, but on next bar it disappears or moves.
Explanation :
Realtime mode detects peaks 1 bar ago: high > high AND high > high
On the FORMING bar (before close), this condition can change as new prices arrive
Example: At 10:05, high (10:04 bar) was 100, current high is 99 → peak detected
At 10:05:30, new high of 101 arrives → peak condition breaks → signal disappears
At 10:06 (bar close), final high is 101 → no peak at 10:04 anymore → signal gone permanently
This is expected behavior for realtime responsiveness. You get preview/early warning, but it's not locked until bar confirms.
Solutions :
Use Confirmed Timing :
Switch to "Confirmed (lookforward)" mode
ZERO repainting — pivot must be fully validated
5-bar delay (pivot_lookforward)
What you see in history is exactly what would have appeared live
Accept Realtime Repaint as Tradeoff :
Keep Realtime mode for speed and alerts
Understand that pre-confirmation signals may vanish
Only trade signals that CONFIRM at bar close (check barstate.isconfirmed)
Use for live monitoring, NOT for backtesting
Trade Only After Confirmation :
In Realtime mode, wait 1 full bar after signal appears before entering
If signal survives that bar close, it's locked
This adds 1-bar delay but removes repaint risk
Recommendation : Use Confirmed for backtesting and conservative trading. Use Realtime only for active monitoring with full understanding of preview behavior.
Risk Management Integration
BZ-CAE is a signal generation system, not a complete trading strategy. You must integrate proper risk management:
Position Sizing by Confidence
Confidence 0.70-1.00 (Premium) :
Risk: 1.5-2.0% of account (MAXIMUM)
Reasoning: High-quality setup across all factors
Still cap at 2% — even premium setups can fail
Confidence 0.50-0.70 (High Quality) :
Risk: 1.0-1.5% of account
Reasoning: Standard good setup
Your bread-and-butter risk level
Confidence 0.35-0.50 (Moderate Quality) :
Risk: 0.5-1.0% of account
Reasoning: Marginal setup, passes minimum threshold
Reduce size or skip if you're selective
Confidence <0.35 (Low Quality) :
Risk: 0% (blocked in Filtering mode)
Reasoning: Insufficient quality factors
System protects you by not showing these
Stop Placement Strategies
For Reversal Signals (Regular Divergences) :
Place stop beyond the divergence pivot plus buffer
Bullish : Stop below the divergence low - 1.0-1.5 × ATR
Bearish : Stop above the divergence high + 1.0-1.5 × ATR
Reasoning: If price breaks the pivot, divergence structure is invalidated
For Continuation Signals (Hidden Divergences) :
Place stop beyond recent swing in opposite direction
Bullish continuation : Stop below recent swing low (not the divergence pivot itself)
Bearish continuation : Stop above recent swing high
Reasoning: You're trading with trend, allow more breathing room
ATR-Based Stops :
1.5-2.0 × ATR is standard
Scale by timeframe:
Scalping (1-5m): 1.0-1.5 × ATR (tight)
Day trading (15m-1H): 1.5-2.0 × ATR (balanced)
Swing (4H-D): 2.0-3.0 × ATR (wide)
Never Use Fixed Dollar/Pip Stops :
Markets have different volatility
50-pip stop on EUR/USD ≠ 50-pip stop on GBP/JPY
Always normalize by ATR or pivot structure
Profit Targets and Scaling
Primary Target :
2-3 × ATR from entry (minimum 2:1 reward-risk)
Example : Entry at 100, ATR = 2, stop at 97 (1.5 × ATR) → target at 106 (3 × ATR) = 2:1 R:R
Scaling Out Strategy :
Take 50% off at 1.5 × ATR (secure partial profit)
Move stop to breakeven
Trail remaining 50% with 1.0 × ATR trailing stop
Let winners run if trend persists
Targets by Confidence :
High Confidence (>0.70) : Aggressive targets (3-4 × ATR), trail wider (1.5 × ATR)
Standard Confidence (0.50-0.70) : Normal targets (2-3 × ATR), standard trail (1.0 × ATR)
Low Confidence (0.35-0.50) : Conservative targets (1.5-2 × ATR), tight trail (0.75 × ATR)
Use Bifurcation Zones :
If opposite-side zone is visible on chart (from previous signal), use it as target
Example : Bullish signal at 100, prior supply zone at 110 → use 110 as target
Zones mark institutional resistance/support
Exhaustion-Based Exits :
If you're in a trade and exhaustion >0.75 develops (yellow shading), consider early exit
Market is overextended — reversal risk is high
Take profit even if target not reached
Trade Management by TCS
High TCS + Counter-Trend Trade (Risky) :
Use very tight stops (1.0-1.5 × ATR)
Conservative targets (1.5-2 × ATR)
Quick exit if trade doesn't work immediately
You're fading momentum — respect it
Low TCS + Reversal Trade (Safer) :
Use wider stops (2.0-2.5 × ATR)
Aggressive targets (3-4 × ATR)
Trail with patience
Genuine reversal potential in weak trend
High TCS + Continuation Trade (Safest) :
Standard stops (1.5-2.0 × ATR)
Very aggressive targets (4-5 × ATR)
Trail wide (1.5-2.0 × ATR)
You're with institutional momentum — let it run
Educational Value — Learning Machine Intelligence
BZ-CAE is designed as a learning platform, not just a tool:
Advisory Mode as Teacher
Most indicators are binary: signal or no signal. You don't learn WHY certain setups are better.
BZ-CAE's Advisory mode shows you EVERY potential divergence, then annotates the ones that would be blocked in Filtering mode with specific reasons:
"Bull: strong downtrend (TCS=0.87)" teaches you that TCS >0.85 makes counter-trend very risky
"Adversarial bearish" teaches you that the opposing case was dominating
"Low confidence 32%" teaches you that the setup lacked quality across multiple factors
"Bull spacing: wait 8 bars" teaches you that signals need breathing room
After 50-100 signals in Advisory mode, you internalize the CAE's decision logic. You start seeing these factors yourself BEFORE the indicator does.
Dashboard Transparency
Most "intelligent" indicators are black boxes — you don't know how they make decisions.
BZ-CAE shows you ALL metrics in real-time:
TCS tells you trend strength
DMA tells you momentum alignment
Exhaustion tells you overextension
Adversarial shows both sides of the debate
Confidence shows composite quality
You learn to interpret market state holistically, a skill applicable to ANY trading system beyond this indicator.
Divergence Quality Education
Not all divergences are equal. BZ-CAE teaches you which conditions produce high-probability setups:
Quality divergence : Regular bullish div at a low, TCS <0.50 (weak trend), exhaustion >0.75 (overextended), positive adversarial differential, confidence >0.70
Low-quality divergence : Regular bearish div at a high, TCS >0.85 (strong uptrend), exhaustion <0.30 (not overextended), negative adversarial differential, confidence <0.40
After using the system, you can evaluate divergences manually with similar intelligence.
Risk Management Discipline
Confidence-based position sizing teaches you to adjust risk based on setup quality, not emotions:
Beginners often size all trades identically
Or worse, size UP on marginal setups to "make up" for losses
BZ-CAE forces systematic sizing: premium setups get larger size, marginal setups get smaller size
This creates a probabilistic approach where your edge compounds over time.
What This Indicator Is NOT
Complete transparency about limitations and positioning:
Not a Prediction System
BZ-CAE does not predict future prices. It identifies structural divergences (price-momentum disagreements) and assesses current market state (trend, exhaustion, adversarial conditions). It tells you WHEN conditions favor a potential reversal or continuation, not WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
Markets are probabilistic. Even premium-confidence setups fail ~30-40% of the time. The system improves your probability distribution over many trades — it doesn't eliminate risk.
Not Fully Automated
This is a decision support tool, not a trading robot. You must:
Execute trades manually based on signals
Manage positions (stops, targets, trailing)
Apply discretionary judgment (news events, liquidity, context)
Integrate with your broader strategy and risk rules
The confidence scores guide position sizing, but YOU determine final risk allocation based on your account size, risk tolerance, and portfolio context.
Not Beginner-Friendly
BZ-CAE requires understanding of:
Divergence trading concepts (regular vs hidden, reversal vs continuation)
Market state interpretation (trend vs range, momentum, exhaustion)
Basic technical analysis (pivots, support/resistance, EMAs)
Risk management fundamentals (position sizing, stops, R:R)
This is designed for intermediate to advanced traders willing to invest time learning the system. If you want "buy the arrow" simplicity, this isn't the tool.
Not a Holy Grail
There is no perfect indicator. BZ-CAE filters noise and improves signal quality significantly, but:
Losing trades are inevitable (even at 70% win rate, 30% still fail)
Market conditions change rapidly (yesterday's strong trend becomes today's chop)
Black swan events occur (fundamentals override technicals)
Execution matters (slippage, fees, emotional discipline)
The system provides an EDGE, not a guarantee. Your job is to execute that edge consistently with proper risk management over hundreds of trades.
Not Financial Advice
BZ-CAE is an educational and analytical tool. All trading decisions are your responsibility. Past performance (backtested or live) does not guarantee future results. Only risk capital you can afford to lose. Consult a licensed financial advisor for investment advice specific to your situation.
Ideal Market Conditions
Best Performance Characteristics
Liquid Instruments :
Major forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY)
Large-cap stocks and index ETFs (SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT)
High-volume crypto (BTC, ETH)
Major commodities (Gold, Oil, Natural Gas)
Reasoning: Clean price structure, clear pivots, meaningful oscillator behavior
Trending with Consolidations :
Markets that trend for 20-40 bars, then consolidate 10-20 bars, repeat
Creates divergences at consolidation boundaries (reversals) and within trends (continuations)
Both regular and hidden divs find opportunities
5-Minute to Daily Timeframes :
Below 5m: too much noise, false pivots, CAE metrics unstable
Above daily: too few signals, edge diminishes (fundamentals dominate)
Sweet spot: 15m to 4H for most traders
Consistent Volume and Participation :
Regular trading sessions (not holidays or thin markets)
Predictable volatility patterns
Avoid instruments with sudden gaps or circuit breakers
Challenging Conditions
Extremely Low Liquidity :
Penny stocks, exotic forex pairs, low-volume crypto
Erratic pivots, unreliable oscillator readings
CAE metrics can't assess market state properly
Very Low Timeframes (1-Minute or Below) :
Dominated by market microstructure noise
Divergences are everywhere but meaningless
CAE filtering helps but still unreliable
Extended Sideways Consolidation :
100+ bars of tight range with no clear pivots
Oscillator hugs midpoint (45-55 range)
No divergences to detect
Fundamentally-Driven Gap Markets :
Earnings releases, economic data, geopolitical events
Price gaps over stops and targets
Technical structure breaks down
Recommendation: Disable trading around known events
Calculation Methodology — Technical Depth
For users who want to understand the math:
Oscillator Computation
Each oscillator type calculates differently, but all normalize to 0-100:
RSI : ta.rsi(close, length) — Standard Relative Strength Index
Stochastic : ta.stoch(high, low, close, length) — %K calculation
CCI : (ta.cci(hlc3, length) + 100) / 2 — Normalized from -100/+100 to 0-100
MFI : ta.mfi(hlc3, length) — Volume-weighted RSI equivalent
Williams %R : ta.wpr(length) + 100 — Inverted stochastic adjusted to 0-100
Smoothing: If smoothing > 1, apply ta.sma(oscillator, smoothing)
Divergence Detection Algorithm
Identify Pivots :
Price high pivot: ta.pivothigh(high, lookback, lookforward)
Price low pivot: ta.pivotlow(low, lookback, lookforward)
Oscillator high pivot: ta.pivothigh(osc, lookback, lookforward)
Oscillator low pivot: ta.pivotlow(osc, lookback, lookforward)
Store Recent Pivots :
Maintain arrays of last 10 pivots with bar indices
When new pivot confirmed, unshift to array, pop oldest if >10
Scan for Slope Disagreements :
Loop through last 5 pivots
For each pair (current pivot, historical pivot):
Check if within max_lookback bars
Calculate slopes: (current - historical) / bars_between
Regular bearish: price_slope > 0, osc_slope < 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold
Regular bullish: price_slope < 0, osc_slope > 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold
Hidden bearish: price_slope < 0, osc_slope > 0, osc_slope > min_threshold
Hidden bullish: price_slope > 0, osc_slope < 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold

Final Word — Philosophy of BZ-CAE
BZ-CAE is not designed to replace your judgment — it's designed to enhance it.
The indicator identifies structural inflection points (bifurcations) where price and momentum disagree. The Cognitive Engine evaluates market state to determine if this disagreement is meaningful or noise. The Adversarial model debates both sides of the trade to catch obvious bad setups. The Confidence system ranks quality so you can choose your risk appetite.
But YOU still execute. YOU still manage risk. YOU still learn from outcomes.
This is intelligence amplification, not intelligence replacement.
Use Advisory mode to learn how expert traders evaluate market state. Use Filtering mode to enforce discipline when emotions run high. Use the dashboard to develop a systematic approach to reading markets. Use confidence scores to size positions probabilistically.
The system provides an edge. Your job is to execute that edge with discipline, patience, and proper risk management over hundreds of trades.
Markets are probabilistic. No system wins every trade. But a systematic edge + disciplined execution + proper risk management compounds over time. That's the path to consistent profitability. BZ-CAE gives you the edge. The discipline and risk management are on you.

The Machine – Smart Zones PRO The Machine – Smart Zones PRO
Overview
The Machine – Smart Zones PRO is a multi-component analytical indicator that identifies key market structure zones, trend alignments, and potential confluence areas using a weighted probability model. It’s designed to map price behavior around support and resistance pivots while integrating higher-timeframe trend and volatility data for confirmation.
Core Logic
The indicator combines four analytical modules to generate its visualization and probability metrics:
Trend Analysis
Calculates short-term trend using a moving-average filter (SMA) and ATR-based volatility structure.
Confirms directional bias from a user-selected higher timeframe for multi-timeframe alignment.
Volatility and Confirmation
Detects volume spikes relative to the moving average of volume to confirm activity strength.
Generates bar-confirmed buy/sell signals when local and higher-timeframe trends align with volatility expansion.
Smart Zone Mapping
Uses pivot-based detection on the selected timeframe to locate reaction highs and lows.
Converts those pivots into adaptive “Smart Zones” (highlighted boxes) extended forward in time to represent potential support/resistance regions.
Old zones are automatically cleared to keep the chart optimized.
Confluence Logic
Calculates the proximity of price to existing Smart Zones and scores confluence strength.
When trend, volatility, and zone alignment agree, the system marks a “Buy” or “Sell” confluence marker.
Scoring and Probabilities
Each signal and zone evaluation is expressed as a weighted probability. The model blends four weighted components:
Local trend (wTrend)
Higher-timeframe alignment (wHTF)
Volume confirmation (wVol)
Proximity to Smart Zones (wZone)
These weights produce two probability values — Buy Probability and Sell Probability — that update in real time and can be visualized as continuous plot lines.
Visual Elements
Smart Zones: Dynamic colored boxes marking pivot-based support and resistance regions.
Trendlines: Optional horizontal extensions from local pivots.
Signal Markers: Buy/Sell labels appear only after confirmed bar closes.
Confluence Markers: Triangular symbols when price interacts with significant zones during aligned trend conditions.
Dashboard Panel: Displays the latest signal, probability score, active trend direction, and potential next directional bias.
Use Case
This indicator helps visualize market structure shifts, identify high-probability confluence areas, and monitor how price interacts with statistically significant zones. It can be applied to any timeframe or instrument for structural confirmation or bias observation.

Simulated Liquidity Zone Heatmap (SLZH) v5 (Stable)# 📈 Simulated Liquidity Zone Heatmap (SLZH) v5 - Order Flow Proxy & Adaptive VWAP
## 💡 Overview
The **Simulated Liquidity Zone Heatmap (SLZH)** is an advanced, stable Pine Script indicator designed to give traders an edge by visualizing **structural market liquidity** and **institutional order flow**. It acts as a powerful proxy for structural zones (like average cost basis) that are often missed by traditional technical analysis.
SLZH achieves this by combining two highly effective components:
1. **Volume-Based Liquidity Zones (VBLZ):** A dynamic, adaptive heatmap based on **Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP)** and Standard Deviation.
2. **Order Block (OB) Signals:** Stable, high-conviction signals marking the origin of strong impulsive moves.
---
## 📊 Key Features & Interpretation
### 1. Volume-Based Liquidity Zones (VBLZ) - The Adaptive Heatmap
The VBLZ dynamically paints a three-tiered support/resistance system, representing the market's average cost basis and conviction. This is primarily used as a **mean-reversion tool**.
| Component | Interpretation | Trading Action |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **VWAP Center** (White Line) | The **Center of Liquidity**. Price is often attracted back to this line. | Use as a **Primary Target** when trading from the outer zones. |
| **Strong VBLZ** (Darkest Color) | **Highest Volume Concentration** (1 StdDev). Primary structural support/resistance. | Look for **Reversals** when price enters this zone. |
| **Mid/Weak VBLZ** (Lighter Colors) | Secondary areas of interest. | Use as **Secondary Targets** or to confirm an extended move. |
### 2. Order Block (OB) Signals - Structural Support/Resistance
The OB signals mark the last counter-trend candle before a strong, sustained move, indicating a potential institutional supply or demand zone. These are displayed as stable triangles on the chart.
* **Bullish OB** (Green Triangle Up): Marks a potential **Demand Zone**. Look for high-probability **long entries** when price returns to the area of this signal.
* **Bearish OB** (Red Triangle Down): Marks a potential **Supply Zone**. Look for high-probability **short entries** when price returns to the area of this signal.
---
## 🎯 High-Conviction Trading Strategy
The most effective way to use SLZH is to look for **confluence** between the dynamic VBLZ and the static OB signals. This combination creates the highest probability trade setups.
| Trade Setup | VBLZ Condition | OB Signal Condition | Action | Rationale |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **High-Conviction Long** | Price is near or entering the **Strong VBLZ** from above. | A **Bullish OB Signal** is present in the same area. | **Enter Long** | Strong alignment between the market's average cost basis (VBLZ) and a structural demand zone (OB). |
| **High-Conviction Short** | Price is near or entering the **Strong VBLZ** from below. | A **Bearish OB Signal** is present in the same area. | **Enter Short** | Strong alignment between the market's average cost basis (VBLZ) and a structural supply zone (OB). |
### Setting Up Alerts
The script is equipped with three critical alert conditions for automated monitoring:
1. **Price in Strong VBLZ:** Notifies you when price enters the highest conviction heatmap zone.
2. **Bullish OB Signal:** Notifies you when a new Demand Zone is established.
3. **Bearish OB Signal:** Notifies you when a new Supply Zone is established.
---
## ⚙️ Customization (Inputs)
Adjust the indicator's sensitivity via the settings menu:
* **VBLZ Lookback Length:** Controls the recency of the heatmap calculation. **Higher values** create a smoother, longer-term zone.
* **OB Min Price Move (ATR Multiplier):** Filters the Order Blocks. **Increase this value** to show only the highest-conviction zones that led to the most powerful price moves.
---
**Note on Stability:** This is **v5**, a highly stable version optimized to avoid common Pine Script runtime errors. It uses stable `plotshape` signals instead of persistent boxes for the Order Blocks to ensure reliable performance on all charts.
Engulfing Failure & Overlap Zones [HASIB]🧭 Overview
Engulfing Failure & Overlap Zones is a smart price action–based indicator that detects failed engulfing patterns and overlapping zones where potential liquidity traps or reversal setups often occur.
It’s designed to visually highlight both bullish and bearish failed engulfing areas with clean labels and zone markings, making it ideal for traders who follow Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or price action–driven trading.
⚙️ Core Concept
Engulfing patterns are powerful reversal signals — but not all of them succeed.
This indicator identifies:
When a Buy Engulfing setup fails and overlaps with a Sell Engulfing zone, and
When a Sell Engulfing setup fails and overlaps with a Buy Engulfing zone.
These overlapping areas often represent liquidity grab zones, reversal points, or Smart Money manipulation levels.
🎯 Key Features
✅ Detects both Buy and Sell Engulfing Failures
✅ Highlights Overlapping (OL) zones with colored rectangles
✅ Marks Buy EG OL / Sell EG OL labels automatically
✅ Fully customizable visuals — colors, padding, and zone styles
✅ Optimized for both scalping and swing trading
✅ Works on any timeframe and any instrument
⚡ How It Helps
Identify liquidity traps before reversals happen
Visually see Smart Money overlap zones between opposing engulfing structures
Strengthen your entry timing and confirmation zones
Combine with your own SMC or ICT-based trading setups for higher accuracy
📊 Recommended Use
Use on higher timeframes (e.g., M15, H1, H4) to confirm major liquidity zones.
Use on lower timeframes (e.g., M1–M5) for precision entries inside the detected zones.
Combine with tools like Order Blocks, Break of Structure (BOS), or Fair Value Gaps (FVG).
🧠 Pro Tip
When a failed engulfing overlaps with an opposite engulfing zone, it often signals market maker intent to reverse price direction after liquidity has been taken. Watch these zones closely for strong reaction candles.
Institutions ZonesInstitutions Zone Tracker
This indicator automatically detects, draws, and manages institutional zones using refined order block logic. It is built to highlight high-probability reversal or breakout areas across any timeframe, with advanced zone management features that go beyond typical open-source versions.
How It Works
The script identifies price regions where significant institutional buying or selling has previously occurred and tracks how they evolve in real time:
Green = Areas of strong institutional buying interest.
Red = Areas of institutional selling interest.
Gray = Tested Zone: If price re-enters a previously drawn zone, it turns gray and relabels as “Tested,” signaling reduced reaction strength.
Unlike many standard supply/demand tools, this script includes automatic zone removal, tested-zone tracking, and no-repaint logic to maintain chart accuracy and reduce clutter.
Features
Dynamic zone creation and removal based on order block and mitigation rules.
Real-time updates with no repainting.
Visual clarity controls (adjustable transparency, labels inside zones).
Automatic zone lifecycle tracking, with clear status indicators (“Demand Zone,” “Supply Zone,” “Tested”).
How to Use
Apply the indicator to any chart and timeframe.
Use Demand Zones as potential long/swing-low areas and Supply Zones as potential short/swing-high areas.
When a zone turns gray, treat it as weakened — reactions may be less reliable.
Combine with your own technical or fundamental analysis for confirmation.
Best Practices
Pair with candlestick reversal signals or momentum indicators for higher accuracy.
Adjust tuning/mitigation parameters to fit your trading style and the asset’s volatility.
Use across multiple timeframes to validate institutional order flow alignment.
Why This Script Is Different
Most open-source supply/demand indicators only plot static zones. This script introduces:
Automatic zone removal to keep charts clean and relevant.
Dynamic “tested zone” logic that tracks weakening institutional levels.
Real-time, no-repaint drawing, ensuring zones remain accurate as price action evolves.
These unique features make the tool more practical for live trading and justify closed-source protection.

Extreme Zone Volume ProfileExtreme Zone Volume Profile (EZVP)
Originality & Innovation
The Extreme Zone Volume Profile (EZVP) revolutionizes traditional volume profile analysis by applying statistical zone classification to volume distribution. Unlike standard volume profiles that display raw volume data, EZVP segments the price range into statistically meaningful zones based on percentile thresholds, allowing traders to instantly identify where volume concentration suggests strong support/resistance versus areas of potential breakout.
Technical Methodology
Core Algorithm:
Distributes volume across user-defined bins (20-200) over a lookback period
Calculates volume-weighted price levels for each bin
Applies percentile-based zone classification to the price range (not volume ranking)
Zone B (extreme zones): Outer percentile tails representing potential rejection areas
Zone A (significant zones): Secondary percentile bands indicating strong interest levels
Center Zone: Bulk trading range where most price discovery occurs
Mathematical Foundation:
The script uses price-range percentiles rather than volume percentiles. If the total price range is divided into 100%, Zone B captures the extreme price tails (default 2.5% each end ≈ 2 standard deviations), Zone A captures the next significant bands (default 14% each ≈ 1 standard deviation), leaving the center for normal distribution trading.
Key Calculations:
POC (Point of Control): Price level with maximum volume accumulation
Volume-weighted mean price: Total volume × price / total volume
Median price: Geometric center of the price range
Rightward-projected bars: Volume bars extend forward from current time to avoid historical chart clutter
Trading Applications
Zone Interpretation:
Zone B (Red/Green): Extreme price levels where volume suggests strong rejection potential. Price reaching these zones often indicates overextension and possible reversal points.
Zone A (Orange/Teal): Significant support/resistance areas with substantial volume interest. These levels often act as intermediate targets or consolidation zones.
Center (Gray): Fair value area where most trading occurs. Price tends to return to this range during normal market conditions.
Strategic Usage:
Reversal Trading: Look for rejection signals when price enters Zone B areas
Breakout Confirmation: Volume expansion beyond Zone B boundaries suggests genuine breakouts
Support/Resistance: Zone A boundaries often provide reliable entry/exit levels
Mean Reversion: Price tends to gravitate toward the volume-weighted mean and POC lines
Unique Value Proposition
EZVP addresses three key limitations of traditional volume profiles:
Visual Clarity: Standard profiles can be cluttered and difficult to interpret quickly. EZVP's color-coded zones provide instant visual feedback about price significance.
Statistical Framework: Rather than relying on subjective interpretation of volume nodes, EZVP applies objective percentile-based classification, making support/resistance identification more systematic.
Forward-Looking Display: Rightward-projecting bars keep historical price action clean while maintaining current market structure visibility.
Configuration Guide
Lookback Period (10-1000): Controls the historical depth of volume calculation. Shorter periods for intraday scalping, longer for swing trading.
Number of Bins (20-200): Resolution of volume distribution. Higher values provide more granular analysis but may create noise on lower timeframes.
Zone Percentages:
Zone B: Extreme threshold (default 2.5% = ~2σ statistical significance)
Zone A: Significant threshold (default 14% = ~1σ statistical significance)
Visual Controls: Toggle individual elements (POC, median, mean, zone lines) to customize display complexity for your trading style.
Technical Requirements
Pine Script v6 compatible
Maximum bars back: 5000 (ensures sufficient historical data)
Maximum boxes: 500 (supports high-resolution bin counts)
Maximum lines: 50 (accommodates all zone and reference lines)
This indicator synthesizes volume profile theory with statistical zone analysis, providing a quantitative framework for identifying high-probability support/resistance levels based on volume distribution patterns rather than arbitrary price levels.
Dynamic Fib Zones [By TraderMan]📊 Dynamic Fib Zones — Indicator Overview
This indicator automatically plots dynamic Fibonacci levels and zones on your chart based on recent price action, volume, and trend direction. It helps you identify key support and resistance areas where price may react strongly.
🔍 What Does It Do?
Draws Fibonacci retracement levels dynamically over a specified lookback period.
Highlights zones around these Fibonacci levels to give you a price “buffer area” instead of just a line.
Colors the zones green or red based on volume strength and trend direction to signal potential buying or selling pressure.
Uses EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to detect if the trend is up or down.
Shows labels with Fibonacci % levels and exact price for quick reference.
⚙️ How to Use It?
Set your inputs:
Fibonacci Period: How many bars back the Fibonacci levels are calculated.
EMA Period: For trend detection.
Volume Multiplier: How much volume should exceed average to consider the signal strong.
Level Tolerance and Zone Width: Adjust the sensitivity and size of the price zones.
Interpret zones:
Green zones with high volume and price near Fibonacci level in an uptrend = potential buying area.
Red zones with high volume and price near Fibonacci level in a downtrend = potential selling area.
Gray zones = neutral, no strong signal.
Make your trading decisions:
Consider entering long positions near green zones with confirmation from other indicators or price action.
Consider entering short positions near red zones similarly.
Use zone boundaries as dynamic support/resistance for stop loss or take profit placement.
🚀 Tips for Position Opening
Combine with other confirmation tools (candlestick patterns, RSI, MACD, etc.) to avoid false signals.
Watch volume spikes carefully; strong volume near a Fibonacci zone increases the reliability.
Use the EMA trend filter to avoid trading against the main trend.
🎯 Summary
Dynamic Fib Zones give you a powerful, visual edge by combining Fibonacci, volume, and trend signals — making your entries and exits smarter and more precise!
Happy Trading! 📈✨
Adaptive Market Profile – Auto Detect & Dynamic Activity ZonesAdaptive Market Profile is an advanced indicator that automatically detects and displays the most relevant trend channel and market profile for any asset and timeframe. Unlike standard regression channel tools, this script uses a fully adaptive approach to identify the optimal period, providing you with the channel that best fits the current market dynamics. The calculation is based on maximizing the statistical significance of the trend using Pearson’s R coefficient, ensuring that the most relevant trend is always selected.
Within the selected channel, the indicator generates a dynamic market profile, breaking the price range into configurable zones and displaying the most active areas based on volume or the number of touches. This allows you to instantly identify high-activity price levels and potential support/resistance zones. The “most active lines” are plotted in real-time and always stay parallel to the channel, dynamically adapting to market structure.
Key features:
- Automatic detection of the optimal regression period: The script scans a wide range of lengths and selects the channel that statistically represents the strongest trend.
- Dynamic market profile: Visualizes the distribution of volume or price touches inside the trend channel, with customizable section count.
- Most active zones: Highlights the most traded or touched price levels as dynamic, parallel lines for precise support/resistance reading.
- Manual override: Optionally, users can select their own channel period for full control.
- Supports both linear and logarithmic charts: Simple toggle to match your chart scaling.
Use cases:
- Trend following and channel trading strategies.
- Quick identification of dynamic support/resistance and liquidity zones.
- Objective selection of the most statistically significant trend channel, without manual guesswork.
- Suitable for all assets and timeframes (crypto, stocks, forex, futures).
Originality:
This script goes beyond basic regression channels by integrating dynamic profile analysis and fully adaptive period detection, offering a comprehensive tool for modern technical analysts. The combination of trend detection, market profile, and activity zone mapping is unique and not available in TradingView built-ins.
Instructions:
Add Adaptive Market Profile to your chart. By default, the script automatically detects the optimal channel period and displays the corresponding regression channel with dynamic profile and activity zones. If you prefer manual control, disable “Auto trend channel period” and set your preferred period. Adjust profile settings as needed for your asset and timeframe.

Interest Zones | @CRYPTOKAZANCEVEnglish Description.
🧠 What This Script Does
This script automatically detects price interest zones — areas where the price repeatedly reacts by forming local swing highs or lows , suggesting heightened supply/demand or market attention. It uses a custom volatility-adjusted range (pseudo-ATR) to dynamically group significant swing points and highlights these zones visually on the chart.
The script is not a mashup or copy of built-in indicators. It’s an original implementation that performs a meaningful calculation based on market structure and volatility to help traders identify important price areas.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Swing Point Detection:
The script identifies swing highs and lows using a configurable lookback window.
2. Zone Candidate Evaluation:
Each swing is checked against a custom zone width (based on ATR and your multiplier). If multiple swings fall within this range, it’s marked as a potential zone.
3. Filtering:
The script keeps only those zones that:
• Contain at least a user-defined number of swing points.
• Do not overlap with stronger (higher swing count) zones.
4. Visualization:
• The strongest zones are drawn as semi-transparent boxes.
• Zones are limited by time (last X candles).
• Optional: Swing highs/lows can be shown on chart.
📊 How to Use
• Use it on any timeframe or asset to identify price regions of interest.
• Combine with volume, trend, or candlestick analysis for entries/exits.
• The number of touches (swing points in a zone) gives insight into zone significance.
This tool is particularly useful for identifying support/resistance areas based on actual price structure rather than arbitrary levels.
🔧 Settings
• Swing Lookback Period: Controls how many candles on each side of a pivot the script checks to detect a local high/low.
• Zone Width Multiplier: Adjusts the volatility-based range. Larger values create wider zones.
• Min Swing Count: Zones with fewer swing points than this won't be shown.
• Max Zones Displayed: Limits the number of zones shown on screen.
• Max Candles for Analysis: Old swing points beyond this range are ignored.
📌 Notes
• No third-party code or mashups used.
• This is a standalone implementation of a concept similar to market structure mapping, tailored to be dynamic and responsive to volatility.
• Ideal for traders who prefer clean, price-action-based analysis.
🇷🇺 Русское описание
🧠 Что делает этот индикатор:
Индикатор автоматически определяет зоны интереса цены — области, где цена многократно формирует локальные максимумы или минимумы (свинги) . Эти зоны могут сигнализировать о повышенном внимании рынка, предложении или спросе. Скрипт использует псевдо-ATR (волатильность на основе среднего диапазона), чтобы динамически определять такие области и выделяет их на графике.
Это не копия стандартных индикаторов и не микс чужих скриптов — это оригинальная разработка , полезная для всех, кто ищет автоматическую разметку важных ценовых уровней.
⚙️ Как работает индикатор
1. Поиск свинг-точек:
Определяются локальные экстремумы с учетом указанного периода.
2. Формирование кандидатов в зоны:
Каждая свинг-точка проверяется, есть ли в её диапазоне другие свинги. Если таких достаточно — зона считается потенциальной.
3. Фильтрация зон:
• Учитываются только зоны с минимумом заданных свингов.
• Перекрывающиеся зоны удаляются в пользу более значимых.
4. Визуализация:
• Отображаются зоны с наибольшим числом касаний.
• Зоны ограничиваются последними X свечами.
• При желании можно отобразить сами свинг-точки.
📊 Как использовать
• Работает на любом таймфрейме и инструменте.
• Используйте совместно с объёмами, трендом или свечным анализом.
• Количество касаний помогает оценить важность зоны.
Полезен тем, кто предпочитает анализ на основе структуры цены, а не произвольных уровней.

Simple Smart ZonesPurpose of the Indicator:
This indicator is designed to automatically detect and plot support and resistance zones by analyzing historical price action. It works by dividing the past price data into sections and calculating the average price in each section — these averages represent key price levels where market activity (buying/selling) likely clustered.
⚙️ How It Works:
Selects a Historical Window:
The user sets a number of past candles (barsBack) to analyze (default: 100).
Divides the Window into Equal Parts:
The selected period is split into zoneCount sections (default: 3).
Calculates the Average Price in Each Section:
For each section, the script computes the average closing price — this becomes the level where price was most frequently accepted during that section.
Plots Horizontal Lines (Zones):
Each average price is drawn as a horizontal line on the chart.
If the zone is below the current price → it's colored green (likely support).
If the zone is above the current price → it's colored red (likely resistance).
🎯 What the Zones Mean:
Color Meaning Interpretation
🟢 Green Support Zone Price is above it; could bounce if revisited.
🔴 Red Resistance Zone Price is below it; may struggle to break through.
📌 Indicator Inputs:
Input Description
barsBack How many historical candles to analyze.
zoneCount How many zones to calculate and display.
transp Transparency of the lines (0 = solid, 100 = invisible).
🧠 How to Use It in Trading:
Entry Ideas:
Buy near green lines (support), especially if price bounces from them.
Sell near red lines (resistance), especially if price fails to break them.
Exit Ideas:
Use red zones as profit targets for long positions.
Use green zones as targets for short positions.
Add Confirmation:
Combine with RSI, Volume, or Candlestick Patterns for stronger setups.
✅ Why This Version is Reliable:
No errors.
No complex structures like arrays or custom functions.
Works on any symbol, any timeframe.

Yakloft Support and Resistance LevelsYakloft Support and Resistance Levels Indicator
The Yakloft Support and Resistance Levels indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify key support and resistance levels on a price chart. By leveraging advanced pivot point calculations and customizable settings, this indicator provides clear visual cues for potential price reversals and market trends.
Key Features
Automatic Support and Resistance Levels:
Dynamic Calculation: The indicator automatically identifies and plots significant support and resistance levels based on pivot highs and lows.
Customizable Strength: Adjust the S/R Strength parameter to filter levels according to their significance. Higher values display fewer but more robust levels.
Zones Around Levels:
Support and Resistance Zones: Create zones around each support and resistance level to highlight areas of interest rather than exact price points.
High/Low Zones: Plot zones around the highest and lowest price levels within a specified period, providing additional context for potential breakouts or reversals.
Zone Width Adjustment: Customize the width of the zones using the Zone Width % parameter, calculated as a percentage of the price range over the last 300 bars.
Line Styles and Fills:
Customizable Appearance: Modify line colors, styles (Solid, Dotted, Dashed), and widths to match your chart preferences.
Line Fills: Enhance visual clarity by filling zones with semi-transparent colors, making it easier to distinguish between support and resistance areas.
Dynamic Line Management:
Automatic Line Removal: To keep your chart uncluttered, the indicator removes a support or resistance line after the price crosses it twice. This feature helps you focus on the most relevant and current levels.
Expandable Lines:
Line Extension: Choose to extend lines both forward and backward in time with the Expand S/R Lines option, providing a comprehensive view of historical support and resistance.
How It Works
The indicator analyzes price data to identify pivot highs and lows over a specified lookback period. These pivot points are potential areas where the price may reverse or experience significant support or resistance. By filtering these points based on the S/R Strength parameter, the indicator ensures that only the most significant levels are displayed.
Once the levels are identified:
Support Levels: Plotted when the price shows potential to stop falling and possibly start rising.
Resistance Levels: Plotted when the price may stop rising and potentially start falling.
The indicator enhances these levels by:
Adding Zones: By creating a buffer around each level, traders can see areas where the price might interact with support or resistance, rather than focusing on a single price point.
Line Fills: The zones are filled with a semi-transparent color corresponding to support or resistance, improving visual distinction.
Input Parameters
Enable Support & Resistance: Toggle the entire indicator on or off.
Support Color: Choose the color for support lines and fills.
Resistance Color: Choose the color for resistance lines and fills.
S/R Strength: Set the sensitivity of level detection. Higher values result in fewer, more significant levels.
Line Style: Select the style of the support and resistance lines (Solid, Dotted, Dashed).
S/R Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the support and resistance lines.
Enable Zones: Toggle the display of zones around each level.
Enable High/Low Zones: Toggle the display of zones around the highest and lowest price levels.
Zone Width %: Define the width of the zones as a percentage of the price range over the last 300 bars.
Expand S/R Lines: Choose whether to extend the lines across the entire chart or limit them to recent data.
Using the Indicator
Identifying Key Levels:
Use the plotted support and resistance levels to identify potential entry and exit points.
Pay attention to the zones, as they represent areas where the price is more likely to react.
Monitoring Price Interaction:
Observe how the price behaves around the support and resistance levels.
The automatic removal of lines after two crossings helps focus on active levels.
Customizing for Clarity:
Adjust the visual settings to match your trading style and improve chart readability.
Experiment with the S/R Strength and Zone Width % to fine-tune the indicator to different market conditions.
Best Practices
Combine with Other Analysis Tools:
Use the indicator alongside other technical analysis tools like trend lines, moving averages, and oscillators for a more comprehensive market view.
Adjust for Different Timeframes:
The indicator works on various timeframes. Adjust the parameters when switching between short-term and long-term charts to maintain effectiveness.
Stay Updated with Market Conditions:
Market volatility can affect the significance of support and resistance levels. Regularly adjust the S/R Strength parameter to align with current market dynamics.
Limitations
Not a Standalone Solution:
While the indicator provides valuable insights, it should not be used in isolation. Always consider broader market analysis and risk management practices.
Historical Data Dependency:
The accuracy of the levels depends on the availability of sufficient historical data. Ensure your chart includes enough data for the indicator to perform effectively.

Liquidations Zones [ChartPrime]The Liquidation Zones indicator is designed to detect potential liquidation zones based on common leverage levels such as 10x, 25x, 50x, and 100x. By calculating percentage distances from recent pivot points, the indicator shows where leveraged positions are most likely to get liquidated. It also tracks buy and sell volumes in these zones, helping traders assess market pressure and predict liquidation scenarios. Additionally, the indicator features a heat map mode to highlight areas where orders and stop-losses might be clustered.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Leverage Zones Detection :
The indicator identifies zones where positions with leverage ratios of 100x, 50x, 25x, and 10x are at risk of liquidation. These zones are based on percentage moves from recent pivots: a 1% move can liquidate 100x positions, a 4% move affects 25x positions, and so on.
⯌ Liquidated Zones and Volume Tracking :
The indicator displays liquidated zones by plotting gray areas where the price potentually liquidate positons. It calculates the volume needed to liquidate positions in these zones, showing volume from bullish candles if short positions were liquidated and volume from bearish candles for long positions. This feature helps traders assess the risk of liquidation as the price approaches these zones.
⯌ Buy/Sell Volume Calculation :
Buy and sell volumes are calculated from the most recent pivot high or low. For buy volume, only bullish candles are considered, while for sell volume, only bearish candles are summed. This data helps traders gauge the strength of potential liquidation in different zones.
Example of buy and sell volume tracking in active zones:
⯌ Liquidity Heat Map :
In heat map mode, the indicator visualizes potential liquidity areas where orders and stop-losses may be clustered. This map highlights zones that are likely to experience liquidations based on leverage ratios. Additionally, it tracks the highest and lowest price levels for the past 100 bars, while also displaying buy and sell volumes. This feature is useful for predicting market moves driven by liquidation events.

[DarkTrader] 3 Candle EG ZoneThe 3 Candle EG Zone indicator identifies engulfing patterns and plots dynamic boxes around these zones. The engulfing patterns are key reversal signals where one candle's body completely engulfs the body of the previous candle, indicating a shift in market sentiment. This indicator identifies both bullish and bearish engulfing patterns and draws visual boxes around them, which extend to the right on the chart to show how the zones evolve over time.
EG Calculation by @moamenmostafa Script.
Indicator In Use :
Customization Parameters :
Max EG Box Showing: Defines the maximum number of engulfing (EG) boxes that can be displayed on the chart simultaneously. This helps to limit chart clutter by ensuring that only a specified number of zones are visible.
Pivot EG Box Offset: Sets how far to extend the engulfing box to the right from the current candle. This makes the box continue into future price action, highlighting the significance of the engulfing zone.
Zone Color: Customizes the color and transparency of the engulfing zone box, allowing users to set their preferred color to differentiate bullish and bearish zones.
Bullish Engulfing (Bullish EG):
The code checks if the last three candles have been bearish (open higher than close), and then the current candle is bullish (close higher than open) with a strong upward move. Additionally, the bullish candle must engulf the previous bearish candle, indicating a potential upward reversal. If this condition is true, a box is drawn around the low and high of the last candle.
Bearish Engulfing (Bearish EG):
Similarly, the code checks for three consecutive bullish candles (open lower than close), followed by a bearish candle (open higher than close) that engulfs the previous bullish candle. This signifies a possible downward reversal, and a box is drawn around the last candle's range.
The script continuously checks for bullish or bearish engulfing patterns and dynamically draws boxes around those zones. The boxes remain visible as long as the price stays within the engulfing zone's range. If the price exceeds the zone, the box is deleted, ensuring that only valid and current zones are shown on the chart.

ATR Based Support and Resistance Zones [UAlgo]🔶 ATR Based Support and Resistance Indicator 🔶
The ATR Based Support and Resistance Indicator is a technical tool designed for TradingView users to analyze and visualize support and resistance levels based on the Average True Range (ATR) indicator. ATR is a widely used volatility indicator that measures the average trading range of an asset over a specified period. This indicator utilizes ATR values to dynamically calculate and display support and resistance zones on the price chart.
🔶 Indicator Settings
ATR Length: This setting allows users to specify the length of the period over which the ATR indicator is calculated. A longer period results in a smoother ATR value, providing a broader view of market volatility.
ATR Multiplier: The ATR multiplier enables users to adjust the sensitivity of the support and resistance zones. Increasing the multiplier widens the zones, while decreasing it narrows them, allowing traders to customize the indicator according to their trading preferences and market conditions.
🔶 Key Features
Trend Identification: The indicator identifies potential support and resistance zones based on the relationship between the ATR values and the price action. When the current ATR value exceeds a certain threshold determined by the ATR multiplier, it indicates a significant price movement, potentially signaling a trend reversal or continuation.
Impulse Detection: The indicator detects impulses in price movement by comparing the current ATR value with the previous value. An impulse is identified when the current ATR value is greater than or equal to the previous value, indicating a sudden surge in market volatility.
Bearish Impulse Example :
Bullish Impulse Example:
Color-Coded Impulses: Impulse candles are color-coded for easy visualization of bullish (green) and bearish (red) impulses. This feature helps traders quickly identify potential trading opportunities and market trends.
Wick Percentage Calculation: The indicator calculates the percentage of the wick length relative to the true range of each candle. Users can specify a threshold percentage, and when the wick percentage exceeds this threshold, it indicates a potential support or resistance zone.
Support and Resistance Zones: The indicator plots support and resistance zones based on the calculated wick percentage. These zones are visualized as rectangular boxes on the price chart, highlighting areas where price reversals or significant price movements are likely to occur.
Customizable Styling: Users can customize the styling of support and resistance zones, including line style, width, border color, and background color. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator's visual appearance to their personal preferences and trading strategies.
🔶 Usage
Traders can utilize the ATR Based Support and Resistance Indicator in various ways :
Trend Direction Analysis: By observing the color-coded impulse candles, traders can identify the prevailing trend direction (bullish or bearish) based on the frequency and magnitude of impulses.
Entry and Exit Signals: Traders can use the detected support and resistance zones as potential entry and exit points for their trades. When price approaches these zones, it may indicate a trading opportunity or signal the need to adjust stop-loss or take-profit levels.
Confirmation Tool: The indicator serves as a confirmation tool for identifying potential reversal or continuation signals in conjunction with other technical indicators or trading strategies.
