PVSRA Auto [PhantomCipher]PVSRA Auto
PVSRA Auto colours volume by how unusual it is, using the PVSRA (Price, Volume, Support and Resistance Analysis) method. Candles with unusually high volume, often called "vector candles", stand out from ordinary ones, so you can see where larger participants may be active.
SNAPSHOT: a 15m chart with the indicator in its pane, showing green, red, blue and fuchsia vector volume among grey normal volume
Shown on the 15-minute chart
The snapshots use the 15-minute timeframe. The indicator works on any timeframe, because each candle is always compared with the 10 candles before it on the same chart.
How it works
Each candle's volume is compared with the average volume of the previous 10 candles:
Peak (200%): volume is at least twice that average, or volume multiplied by the candle's range (high minus low) is the highest of the last 10 candles. Green for bullish, red for bearish.
Rising (150%): volume is at least 1.5 times that average. Blue for bullish, fuchsia for bearish.
Normal: everything else. Light grey for bullish, dark grey for bearish.
A candle counts as bullish when it closes above its open, and bearish otherwise.
The two tests behind a Peak candle:
volume >= averageVolume * 2 or volume * (high - low) >= highest10_hl_weightedVolume
SNAPSHOT: a 15m close-up of a Peak vector candle, with its volume column and candle colour side by side
Volume Source Settings
Use Vol of the equivalent BINANCE PERP Chart: on by default. On crypto symbols, the indicator reads volume and prices from the matching Binance perpetual (for example BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P), which usually has deeper volume than a single spot exchange. If that perpetual doesn't exist, it uses the chart's own data.
Force Symbol: off by default. When checked, every calculation uses the symbol you pick instead, on any market.
Candle Colours
Set PVSRA candle colours on chart: off by default. When checked, the chart's candles take the same colours as the volume columns. Turning off candle borders in the chart settings makes the colours easier to read.
All six colours (Peak, Rising and Normal, each bullish and bearish) can be changed in the same section.
Alerts
Any Vector Candle
Any Volume Peak(200%) Vector Candle
Any Volume Rising(150%) Vector Candle
Volume Peak(200%) Bullish / Bearish Vector Candle
Volume Rising(150%) Bullish / Bearish Vector Candle
Create alerts with Once Per Bar Close . Volume keeps building while a candle is open, so a candle can become a vector candle, or change class, before it closes.
Limitations
When volume comes from a Binance perpetual or a forced symbol, the colours describe that market's volume and candle direction, which can differ slightly from the chart you're viewing.
The symbol, or the source it reads from, must have volume data.

This indicator highlights unusual volume. It's not a trading signal on its own, so combine it with your own analysis and risk management.

SMA20 Tail Reversal📌 Description:
The SMA20 Tail Reversal indicator is an upgraded, highly customizable tool designed to identify high-probability counter-trend reversals. Rather than signaling every minor pullback, this advanced version filters for stronger confirmation by tracking consecutive signals and requiring a "Higher Low" structure before triggering a "Strong Buy."
📌 What's New & Different from the Previous Version (SMA7 to SMA20):
Customizable Inputs: You can now adjust the SMA Length (default 20), Volume SMA Length, and Wick Ratio Threshold directly in the settings without editing the code.
Trend Shift (SMA7 → SMA20): The default moving average has been expanded to 20, filtering out market noise and focusing on more significant structural divergences.
Stricter Wick Condition: The default wick ratio has been tightened from 50% to 10% (0.1), ensuring only the cleanest, most decisive candles are considered.
"Strong Buy" & Higher Low Logic (Major Update): The script no longer prints every single signal. Instead, it internally tracks base signals. A Strong Buy is only triggered if the current base buy signal forms a higher low than the previous base buy signal.
Visual Overhaul: Bar coloring and the dotted connecting line have been completely removed for a cleaner chart. Signals are now displayed as highly visible "★ BUY" labels below the triggering candle.
Alerts Added: Built-in alerts allow traders to receive notifications exactly when a "Strong Buy" (consecutive & higher low) occurs.
📌 How It Works:
1. Moving Average & Volume Filters:
Calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of length 20 (adjustable) as the primary threshold.
Requires the current candle's volume to be higher than the 20-period volume SMA.
2. Strict Candle Classification:
Bullish Candle: Close > Open, and the upper wick is extremely small (less than 10% of the body size by default).
Bearish Candle: Close < Open, and the lower wick is extremely small.
3. Base Signal Generation (Internal):
Base Long: High & Low are strictly below the SMA20 + Volume condition met + Bullish Candle detected.
Base Short: High & Low are strictly above the SMA20 + Volume condition met + Bearish Candle detected (used internally to break buy flows).
4. Consecutive Signal Confirmation:
When a Base Long occurs, the script checks the previous signal. If the previous signal was also a Base Long, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous signal's low, it confirms a Strong Buy.
📌 Visual Representation:
Blue Cross Shape (★ BUY): Appears below the candle only when the strict "Strong Buy" (Higher Low) conditions are met. (You can toggle this visibility in the settings).
📌 Usage:
Best applied to find exhaustion in downtrends where price has detached from the SMA20 and is beginning to form higher lows.
Designed to reduce false positives by requiring secondary confirmation (a consecutive setup with a higher low) rather than jumping in on the very first dip.
Can be hooked up to automated trading bots or mobile notifications using the built-in alert system. مؤشر
Volume Delta [PhantomCipher]Volume Delta
Volume Delta shows each candle's volume together with an estimate of whether buyers or sellers were in control of it. The delta (buying volume minus selling volume) is drawn inside the volume column, so you can compare the two at a glance.
SNAPSHOT: a 15m chart with the indicator in its pane, showing volume columns with delta columns inside them
Shown on the 15-minute chart
The snapshots use the 15-minute timeframe. On that chart, each candle's delta is built from its fifteen 1-minute candles, which gives enough detail to separate real buying or selling pressure from noise while staying readable.
How it works
Volume column: the full volume of the candle. It's green when the candle closed at or above its open and red when it closed below.
Delta column: drawn inside the volume column. Its height is the size of the delta, and its colour is the side that won: green when buying volume was greater and red when selling volume was greater.
How delta is estimated: each candle is broken into smaller candles from a lower timeframe. The volume of each smaller candle is counted as buying or selling according to its direction, and the delta is the difference between the two totals.
A large delta column means one side clearly dominated the candle. A small one inside a tall volume column means buying and selling were close to balanced, even though a lot traded.
Lower timeframe used
Seconds charts: 1 second
Minute and hour charts, including 15m: 1 minute
Daily charts: 5 minutes
Weekly and monthly charts: 1 hour
The lower timeframe is picked for you from the chart's timeframe:
= ta.requestVolumeDelta(lowerTimeframe)
SNAPSHOT: a 15m close-up where a tall volume column has a small delta column, next to one where the delta fills most of the column
Settings
Render Mode: Delta Highlight (default) draws volume with the delta inside it. Standard draws volume columns only.
Limitations
Delta is an estimate built from lower-timeframe candles, not from individual trades, so it can differ from order-flow tools that use tick data.
TradingView limits how much lower-timeframe data a script can load, so delta may be missing on older candles, especially on higher timeframes.
The symbol must have volume data. If the data vendor provides none, the indicator shows an error instead of an empty pane.
Example chart: BYBIT:BTCUSDT.P
This indicator estimates buying and selling pressure. It's not a trading signal on its own, so combine it with your own analysis and risk management.

Bitcoin CME Gaps [PhantomCipher]Bitcoin CME Gaps
Bitcoin trades around the clock, but CME Bitcoin futures stop trading over the weekend. When CME reopens, its chart often opens away from Friday's close, leaving a "CME gap". This indicator draws the CME closing level on your Bitcoin chart for the whole weekend, so you can see how far price has moved from it while CME is closed.
SNAPSHOT: a 15m Bitcoin chart over one weekend, with the blue CME line and the shading between it and price
Recommended timeframe: 15 minutes
The weekend window is worked out from each candle's opening time, so the line needs candles small enough to start when CME closes and end when it reopens. The 15-minute chart is what this indicator is designed and tested for.
How it works
Weekend window: from Friday 21:00 UTC to Sunday 22:00 UTC. That matches CME Bitcoin futures hours while US daylight saving time is in effect. In winter, CME closes and reopens one hour later.
CME line: a blue line at the price where the weekend began. It's drawn only during the weekend and stops when CME reopens.
Shading: the area between the line and price is green while price is above the line and pink while it's below, so you can see the direction of the gap as it forms.
The weekend window check, with the day and hour in the chart's timezone (UTC for crypto):
(hour >= 21 and dayofweek == 6) or (dayofweek == 7) or (hour < 22 and dayofweek == 1)
SNAPSHOT: close-up of Sunday's reopen, with the line ending where CME resumes trading
Settings
Chart Price | CME Price: on by default, and the line uses your chart's own price at the start of the weekend. Turn it off to use CME:BTC1!'s last price instead, which can differ from spot or perpetual prices.
Only Show Weekend Gaps: on by default, and the line appears only in the weekend window above. Turn it off to draw a line whenever CME:BTC1! has no candle, which also covers CME's daily one-hour break and exchange holidays, at the cost of a busier chart.
Show +/-1% From Close: off by default. Adds yellow lines 1% above and 1% below the CME line.
Limitations
With "Only Show Weekend Gaps" on, lines appear only on crypto charts, index charts and charts in the UTC timezone.
The weekend window uses fixed UTC hours, so in winter it starts and ends one hour before CME's actual close and reopen.
The line marks the level while CME is closed. It does not keep drawing gaps that are still unfilled after CME reopens.
Example chart: BYBIT:BTCUSDT.P
This indicator marks where CME closed. It's not a trading signal on its own, and a gap is not guaranteed to fill, so combine it with your own analysis and risk management.

Elliott Wave StructureElliott Wave Structure is a visual market-structure tool that identifies potential Elliott Wave sequences using confirmed swing highs and lows.
The indicator connects confirmed pivots to create a clear wave structure and labels the most recent sequence as 1–2–3–4–5 and A–B–C when sufficient swing points are available.
Impulse Waves
Wave 1 — The initial move that begins a potential new trend.
Wave 2 — A corrective retracement of Wave 1 that does not completely invalidate the new trend.
Wave 3 — Typically the strongest impulse phase, as participation in the developing trend increases.
Wave 4 — A corrective pause following Wave 3 before the potential final impulse.
Wave 5 — The final impulse wave of the sequence, often occurring with weaker momentum than Wave 3.
Corrective Waves
Wave A — The initial move against the preceding five-wave trend.
Wave B — A temporary counter-move that attempts to resume the previous trend.
Wave C — The final leg of the correction, completing the potential A–B–C structure.
How It Works
The indicator uses confirmed pivot points to identify significant market swings. The **Pivot Length** input controls how sensitive the swing detection is:
* Lower values detect smaller and more frequent swings.
* Higher values focus on larger and more significant swings.
Because pivots require confirmation, the most recent wave structure can change as new price action develops.
Important Note
Elliott Wave analysis involves interpretation and multiple valid wave counts can exist on the same market. This indicator provides a **visual representation of potential wave structure** based on confirmed market swings; it does not determine the definitive Elliott Wave count.

COD - Discount - Reclaim# COD - Discount - Reclaim (v3.1) — Institutional Market Structure, Value Area & Discount Engine
**Script Type:** Overlay Indicator (Pine Script v6)
**Best For:** Crypto, Futures, Forex, Equities (All Timeframes: 1m Scalping → 4H Swing → Daily/Weekly Macro)
---
## 📌 Overview
**COD - Discount - Reclaim** is an institutional market structure and auction market framework designed to eliminate FOMO breakout chases and replace them with high-expectancy discount reclaims.
Instead of buying highs or chasing breakout candles, this indicator combines three institutional disciplines:
1. **Market Structure (Craig Percoco Model):** Dynamic Higher Highs/Lows (HH/HL) and Lower Highs/Lows (LH/LL), strict single-fire **Change of Character (CHoCH)** trend shifts, and symmetrical **Break of Structure (BOS)** trend continuations.
2. **Auction Market Theory (Peter Steidlmayer Model):** Session-based and rolling 70% Volume Profiles mapping **Value Area High (VAH)**, **Value Area Low (VAL)**, and the **Point of Control (POC)**.
3. **Smart Money Concepts / ICT Retrace Engine:** 3-candle imbalance **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** with auto-mitigation, alongside the **0.705–0.886 Macro Discount Pocket**.
It includes an interactive, customizable on-chart **HUD Status Dashboard** that translates complex orderflow and auction theory into clear, real-time market reads.
---
## 🎯 The Core Philosophy: "BOS vs. CHoCH"
* **CHoCH (Change of Character):** Fires **only on the first decisive break against the prevailing trend** (the trend reversal). It flips market bias from Bearish to Bullish or Bullish to Bearish.
* *Rule:* Never market-buy or FOMO the CHoCH breakout candle. A CHoCH is institutional confirmation that the cycle has shifted—the high-probability entry comes on the subsequent pullback.
* **BOS (Break of Structure):** All subsequent structural breaks **in the direction of the established trend** (the trend continuation).
* In a Downtrend: Breaking below the prior Lower Low (`lastLL`) prints a red **BOS ↓**.
* In an Uptrend: Breaking above the prior Higher High (`lastHH`) prints a green **BOS ↑**.
---
## 📊 Chart Visuals: How to Read the Zones
### 1. The Blue Box — Value Area (Normal Fair Price)
* **Boundaries:** Value Area Low (VAL) to Value Area High (VAH).
* **Meaning:** Represents the Steidlmayer 70% volume bell curve where the majority of trading volume occurred.
* **Interpretation:**
* **Price inside the Blue Box:** Fair Value / Market Equilibrium. Expect rotational chop around POC.
* **Price above VAH:** Macro Premium (Expensive / Overbought). Risky area for new long entries.
* **Price below VAL:** Macro Auction Discount (Bargain territory).
### 2. The Green Box — Deep Discount Pocket (The Bargain Zone)
* **Boundaries:** Fibonacci 0.705 to 0.886.
* **Meaning:** The sweet spot institutional accumulation pocket anchored from the cycle sweep low to the impulse peak.
* **Interpretation:** High-probability zone to hunt for reclaim reversals. If price closes a full candle below the 0.886 floor, the setup is invalidated.
### 3. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) & Auto-Claim Lifecycle
* Dynamic 3-candle imbalances plotted as translucent rectangular zones.
* **Reclaimed:** Highlights orange/teal when price re-enters discount and prints a reversal candle.
* **Claimed & Cleaned:** Once price pierces or completely exits the opposite side of the gap, the box turns neutral gray, freezes, and tags as **"Claimed"** to prevent chart clutter.

Three-Session Volume ProfileOverview
Three-Session Volume Profile divides intraday trading into three independently configurable sessions: Asia, London, and New York. Instead of combining the entire trading day into one profile, the indicator resets its calculations at the beginning of each session and displays a separate Volume Profile, Point of Control, Value Area, VWAP, and optional deviation bands for each period.
This structure is intended for traders who analyze how price and volume distribution change as market participation moves between global trading sessions. Each session is treated as its own auction, making it possible to compare where volume was accepted during one session with how price behaves during the next.
The default schedules use the America/New_York time zone:
Asia: 18:00–03:00
London: 03:00–09:30
New York: 09:30–16:00
All schedules and the time zone are configurable. The America/New_York setting automatically accounts for daylight-saving changes.
Why the components are combined
The Volume Profile, session VWAP, and deviation bands are not calculated as unrelated indicators. They all use the same independently resetting session windows.
The Volume Profile describes how the session’s volume was distributed across price. VWAP provides the session’s volume-weighted mean price, while the deviation bands describe dispersion around that mean. Together, they provide two complementary views of the same session:
Volume Profile identifies price areas with relatively high or low participation.
POC identifies the profile row containing the most allocated volume.
VAH and VAL define the boundaries of the selected value area.
VWAP represents the session’s volume-weighted average price.
Deviation bands provide context for how far price is trading from the session’s weighted mean.
The purpose of this combination is to provide a consistent session-based framework rather than merge unrelated studies.
Volume Profile calculation
For each active session, the indicator tracks the session high, low, and volume. The complete session range is divided into a configurable number of equally sized price rows.
Because standard chart data does not provide the exact price of every transaction, each chart bar’s volume is allocated across the profile rows intersected by that bar’s high-low range. The allocation is proportional to the amount of the bar’s range overlapping each row. A bar with no measurable range has its volume assigned to the row containing its representative price.
The profile is recalculated when the session’s price range expands. This keeps the rows distributed across the complete developing session range.
The Rows setting controls profile resolution and supports values from 12 to 200. More rows provide finer price segmentation but also increase calculation requirements. The profile is based on chart bars rather than tick-by-tick or lower-timeframe transaction data, so changing the chart timeframe can change the resulting distribution.
POC and Value Area calculation
The Point of Control , or POC, is the midpoint of the profile row containing the greatest allocated volume.
The Value Area begins at the POC row. The calculation then compares the next available row above and below the current Value Area and adds the side containing more volume. This process continues until the selected percentage of total session volume has been included.
The resulting levels are:
VAH: Upper boundary of the Value Area
VAL: Lower boundary of the Value Area
POC: Midpoint of the highest-volume profile row
The default Value Area contains 70% of session volume, but this percentage can be adjusted.
Developing and completed levels
While a session is active, the developing VAH , VAL , and POC can be displayed. These levels update as new price and volume information enters the session.
When the session ends, the final profile and levels are stored as completed session values. The number of completed profiles retained for each session can be controlled from the settings.
Developing values are expected to move. A new session high or low changes the profile range and can cause all rows to be redistributed. Completed levels remain fixed unless the chart data, timeframe, symbol, session schedule, or indicator settings are changed.
Session VWAP and deviation bands
The optional VWAP calculation resets independently at the beginning of each session. It uses HLC3 as the representative bar price and weights it by volume.
The session VWAP is calculated as:
Volume-weighted price sum ÷ Session volume sum
The standard deviation calculation is also volume-weighted. The selected multiplier is applied above and below VWAP to produce the upper and lower bands.
These bands are descriptive measurements of session dispersion. They are not automatic overbought or oversold signals.
Profile placement
Each profile can be positioned on either side of its own session:
Left: Anchors the profile to the session opening edge and extends it to the right.
Right: Anchors the profile to the session closing or current edge and extends it to the left.
This setting refers to the boundaries of each session, not the far-left or far-right edge of the visible chart.
The Maximum width setting controls the profile’s horizontal display width in chart bars. It changes only the visual width and does not affect the underlying volume calculations.
How to use the indicator
1. Configure the time zone
Select the time zone used to interpret all three schedules. America/New_York is suitable when session times should follow Eastern Time and adjust automatically for daylight saving.
Use a fixed UTC offset only when daylight-saving adjustment is not desired.
2. Configure the sessions
Set the opening and closing time for Asia, London, and New York. Overnight schedules, such as 18:00–03:00, are supported.
The sessions may overlap if desired. When they overlap, each session continues to calculate independently.
3. Select profile resolution
Increase the number of rows for more detailed price segmentation. Lower values produce broader profile levels and require fewer calculations.
Profile precision also depends on the chart timeframe. Lower chart timeframes generally provide more granular source bars, while higher timeframes provide a broader approximation.
4. Select the Value Area percentage
The standard default is 70%. Increasing the percentage produces a wider Value Area, while reducing it produces a narrower area around the POC.
5. Choose completed or developing levels
Developing levels can be used to observe how the current session’s distribution changes. Completed levels provide fixed references from prior sessions.
Traders may examine whether price:
Accepts or rejects a previous session’s Value Area
Rotates around a prior POC
Moves from one session’s value region toward another
Holds above or below a prior VAH or VAL
Trades near or away from the active session VWAP
These are contextual observations rather than predefined entry or exit signals.
6. Enable VWAP and deviation bands if needed
VWAP can provide a session-weighted reference price alongside the distribution-based profile. Deviation bands can be enabled to visualize dispersion around that reference.
Interpretation
A wide section of the profile represents a row receiving relatively more allocated volume. A narrow section represents relatively less allocated volume.
POC and Value Area levels identify areas of historical participation, but they do not guarantee future support or resistance. Their interpretation depends on market structure, volatility, liquidity, instrument type, and the trader’s broader methodology.
On centralized futures markets, the script uses the exchange-reported volume available on the chart. On markets where only tick volume is available, the profile reflects that data instead of centralized transaction volume.
Recalculation and limitations
The indicator does not request future data or use lookahead calculations. Completed sessions are based only on bars belonging to those sessions.
Developing profiles and levels update during the active bar as its high, low, and volume change. This is normal real-time recalculation and should not be interpreted as a fixed signal.
The profile is an approximation created from chart-bar ranges and volume. It is not a tick-level bid/ask profile, footprint chart, or reconstruction of individual transactions. Results can differ from volume-profile tools that use lower-timeframe or transaction-level data.
This indicator is an analytical tool and does not provide trade entries, exits, profit projections, or guarantees of future performance. مؤشر
3 Sister's KISS RTH Gap + Statistics DashboardRTH Gap Statistics & Directional Bias is designed to analyze the gap between the previous Regular Trading Hours (RTH) close and the current 9:30 AM New York open.
The indicator provides a visual representation of the RTH gap while adding statistical and directional context to help traders determine whether the opening environment favors mean reversion toward the gap or continuation away from it.
The gap is divided into four retracement levels:
25% Gap
50% Gap / Midpoint
75% Gap
100% Gap / Previous RTH Close
The 50% Gap Midpoint is highlighted because partial gap retracements can occur considerably more frequently than complete gap fills.
Gap Context
The indicator evaluates several characteristics of the current opening gap:
Gap Direction
Gap Up
Gap Down
Gap Size relative to Daily ATR
Tiny
Small / Medium
Large
Extreme
Using ATR normalization allows the gap to be evaluated relative to current market volatility rather than using a fixed number of points.
09:30 Open Location
The opening price is compared with the previous RTH range:
Inside Previous Range
Above Previous High
Below Previous Low
This provides additional context because an opening outside the previous session's range may behave differently from a gap occurring inside that range.
Opening Bias
The indicator combines the available gap information to classify the opening environment into categories such as:
Strong Mean Reversion
The statistical/contextual environment strongly favors price moving back toward the previous RTH close.
Moderate Mean Reversion
Gap retracement is favored, but the statistical advantage is less pronounced.
Balanced
Neither gap fill nor continuation has a sufficiently strong advantage.
Continuation Favored
The opening structure favors price moving away from the previous close rather than filling the gap.
Strong Continuation
The characteristics of the gap strongly favor continuation.
Directional Bias
To make the information easier to use during live trading, the indicator translates the gap behavior into a simple directional bias:
BULLISH ▲
BEARISH ▼
NEUTRAL
For example:
Gap Up + Mean Reversion = BEARISH
because price must move lower to fill the gap.
Gap Down + Mean Reversion = BULLISH
because price must move higher toward the previous close.
Conversely:
Gap Up + Continuation = BULLISH
Gap Down + Continuation = BEARISH
A Neutral reading indicates that the gap does not currently provide a sufficiently clear directional advantage.
First 15-Minute Confirmation
The indicator also evaluates whether the first 15 minutes after the 9:30 AM open move:
→ Toward Gap Fill
or
→ Away from Gap
This provides additional confirmation of whether the market is beginning to accept or reject the initial gap.
How I Use It
This indicator is intended primarily as a directional/context filter, not as a standalone entry signal.
For example, when the indicator displays:
BEARISH Directional Bias
I personally favor bearish execution signals such as bearish displacement, market structure shifts, liquidity sweeps, or other bearish confirmations.
When it displays:
BULLISH Directional Bias
I favor bullish confirmations.
When the bias is:
NEUTRAL
I prefer to wait for additional market structure confirmation rather than forcing a directional trade.
This allows the RTH gap to provide the market context, while lower-timeframe price action provides the actual trade execution.
Important
The indicator is designed around the New York RTH session (09:30–16:00 ET).
Historical statistics depend on the amount of chart history available through TradingView and may vary depending on the symbol, timeframe, data provider, and available historical data.
For statistical analysis, 5-minute or 15-minute charts can provide substantially more historical sessions than 1-minute charts, depending on the TradingView subscription and available data.
This indicator does not predict future market direction and should not be considered financial advice. It is designed as a market-context and statistical analysis tool to complement an existing trading methodology. مؤشر

1. The Core Problem & Philosophy
Retail trading charts are overwhelmingly burdened by lagging moving averages, unpartitioned 24-hour volume histograms, and noisy retail footprint price ladders.
Squinting at hundreds of tiny numbers across individual candle bars creates cognitive fatigue and obscures what institutional algorithms are doing in real time. Furthermore, conventional volume indicators suffer from the "Candle Color Fallacy": if a bar closes green, 100% of its volume is labeled "buying", completely blinding the trader to passive institutional absorption (e.g. smart money absorbing aggressive market sellers on limit bids during a down bar).
The CME Institutional Order Flow & AMT Lens replaces this fragmentation with an integrated, high-performance visual cockpit:
• ⚡ Tick-Precision Footprint Tape Delta (request.footprint): Directly accesses exchange trade tape execution at tick granularity to separate actual ask-lifted buys from bid-hit sells.
• 🧱 True Stacked Imbalance Shelves with Native Footprint Parity: Automatically scans consecutive price tiers for 300%+ diagonal order flow imbalances, with strict zero-ignoring parity matching TradingView's native footprint engine.

• 🏛️ Dalton Auction Market Theory Archetypes: Automatically classifies auctions into D-Shape, P-Shape, b-Shape, and B-Shape profiles with live Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL) and Virgin Point of Control (VPOC) tracking.

4. Mathematical & Algorithmic Foundations
A. Continuous Gaussian Kernel Density Estimation (Right-Margin Curves)
Rather than discretizing volume into arbitrary rectangular histogram bars that jump abruptly between price levels, volume at price is treated as a continuous probability density function:
text
f(p) = (1 / (σ * √(2π))) * exp(-(p - μ)² / (2σ²))
To calculate cumulative volume integrals in constant O(1) time without performance-draining numerical loops, the cumulative distribution function is solved via Abramowitz & Stegun Formula 7.1.26:
text
P(Z ≤ z) = 1 - (1 / √(2π)) * exp(-z² / 2) * (a1*t + a2*t² + a3*t³ + a4*t⁴ + a5*t⁵) + ε(z)
where t = 1 / (1 + p*z) and |ε(z)| ≤ 1.5 × 10⁻⁷. This enables the indicator to project smooth, mathematically rigorous buyer and seller curves on the chart's right margin with zero execution lag.
B. True Footprint Diagonal Imbalance Parity
Institutional order flow imbalances occur when aggressive market orders lifting the ask at price tier P overwhelm passive limit orders on the bid at price tier P by a specified dominance ratio (e.g. 3:1 or 300%):
text
Buy Imbalance: Ask_Volume(P_i+1) >= Ratio * Bid_Volume(P_i)
Sell Imbalance: Bid_Volume(P_i) >= Ratio * Ask_Volume(P_i+1)
• 🎯 Strict "Ignore Zeroes" Parity: In TradingView's native footprint engine, when "Ignore zeroes" is active, any diagonal pair where either side has 0 traded contracts is strictly disqualified from being an imbalance. The indicator enforces this parity rule by default, eliminating false edge-of-candle anomalies at highs and lows.
• 🎯 Calibrated Contract Floors: The volume floor is calibrated to 1.0 contract on CME futures to capture genuine institutional prints on smaller-lot contracts like RTY and YM, and 10.0 shares on US Equities to filter retail odd-lot dust.
• 🎯 Bounded Tier Span Geometry: Caps shelf thickness strictly to the stack depth span imbDepth * tick_group_pts, preventing shelves from expanding into giant monolithic slabs.
C. Dalton Profile Shape Archetypes & Empirical Resolutions
Audited across continuous CME index futures sessions, daily auctions resolve into four distinct structural shapes:
• 🏛️ Rotational Balance (25.1% frequency): Symmetrical bell curve indicating institutional consensus on fair value. High mean-reversion probability between Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL).
• 🚀 Initiative Buying Drive (14.1% frequency): Top-heavy volume distribution with a thin lower tail, signaling aggressive short-covering or institutional buying drives. Reversals into b-shape occur in less than 5% of sessions; edge lies in buying pullbacks to developing VPOC.
• 🩸 Initiative Liquidation Drive (8.5% frequency): Bottom-heavy volume distribution with a thin upper tail, signaling long liquidation or aggressive selling. Reversals into P-shape occur in less than 5% of sessions; edge lies in selling rallies to developing VPOC.
• 🗜️ Double Distribution (52.3% frequency): Two distinct high-volume distributions separated by a Low Volume Node (LVN) liquidity vacuum corridor. Price rapidly traverses the central LVN void (spending < 12% of session time inside it) moving from one balance area to the other.

Adaptive Market Structure & Fair Value### Adaptive Market Structure & Fair Value
Adaptive Market Structure & Fair Value combines three complementary market measurements:
**Adaptive market structure**, using efficiency-adjusted pivot confirmation;
**Adaptive KAMA trend state**, using price efficiency and normalized KAMA progression;
**Session VWAP fair value**, using the direction and efficiency of VWAP migration.
The indicator is designed to distinguish structural price movement from short-term market noise rather than produce instantaneous turning-point signals.
### Adaptive Pivot Structure
Potential pivot highs and lows are identified when price exceeds the selected number of bars to the left of the candidate.
Unlike a fixed pivot algorithm, the number of right-side bars required for confirmation changes with price Efficiency Ratio (ER).
Efficient directional movement permits faster confirmation, while inefficient or noisy movement requires additional right-side evidence.
A pending candidate can therefore either:
* become a confirmed structural pivot after its required confirmation bars have elapsed, or
* disappear if price makes a more extreme high or low before confirmation.
**Pivot Caveat:** Confirmed pivots necessarily appear after the actual pivot bar. This is intentional confirmation delay, not repainting of a previously confirmed pivot. Pending candidates should not be treated as confirmed structure.
The Pivot Range Depth setting selects which surviving unbroken high/low pair defines the displayed structural zones. Increasing depth references progressively older and generally broader market structure.
### Adaptive KAMA
KAMA provides the indicator's short-term directional component.
Its responsiveness changes according to price Efficiency Ratio. Efficient movement causes KAMA to respond more quickly, while inefficient or sideways movement causes greater smoothing.
KAMA direction is not determined from price position alone. The script measures the linear-regression progression of KAMA and normalizes that movement against current market noise. Efficiency Ratio is then used to qualify how much confidence should be assigned to that progression.
The resulting states are:
* Bull High Efficiency
* Bull Directional
* Bull Transition
* Range
* Bear Transition
* Bear Directional
* Bear High Efficiency
The table displays the current state, its duration in bars, KAMA ER and normalized KAMA slope, together with the completed previous state.
### KAMA Confirmation Delay
KAMA is intentionally a confirmation tool rather than a prediction of the next price bar.
Several components contribute to its response time:
1. Efficiency Ratio is calculated across a historical lookback.
2. ER is smoothed before controlling KAMA responsiveness.
3. KAMA itself is an adaptive recursive average.
4. KAMA progression is measured using a short linear-regression slope.
5. When the optional KAMA Color Filter is enabled, major directional transitions also require price acceptance.
With the filter enabled, transitions from RANGE into a directional state and bullish-to-bearish or bearish-to-bullish reversals require price to exceed the accepted closing-price range established by the existing KAMA state.
This intentionally prevents a single minor change in slope from immediately reversing the displayed trend state.
Changes in efficiency within the same direction are not subjected to this additional acceptance delay, and deterioration back to RANGE is allowed immediately.
Consequently, the KAMA state should be interpreted as **confirmed trend condition**, not as an exact turning-point signal.
### Session VWAP Fair Value
VWAP resets at the selected session anchor and represents volume-weighted session fair value.
The indicator currently supports London and New York session anchoring.
In addition to plotting session VWAP, the script measures:
* VWAP Efficiency Ratio;
* normalized VWAP displacement;
* statistical strength of that displacement.
This allows VWAP to distinguish between simple movement in fair value and sustained directional migration.
### VWAP Warm-Up and Delay
The underlying VWAP calculation begins with the selected session and updates as new price and volume are received.
The **VWAP trend classification**, however, intentionally requires historical observations.
Early in the session, before enough bars are available for the full ER and statistical-strength calculations, the indicator uses the direction of VWAP displacement as an early directional estimate.
After sufficient observations accumulate, the classification becomes more selective and requires both:
* sufficient VWAP directional displacement; and
* VWAP Efficiency Ratio above its qualification threshold.
Therefore, the VWAP line itself should not be confused with the slower VWAP trend classification.
Higher VWAP ER lengths and smoothing values produce more stable classifications but require more bars before the full calculation becomes available.
### Important Interpretation
The Pivot, KAMA, and VWAP modules should not be expected to change simultaneously.
They measure different aspects of market behavior:
**Pivots** confirm structure after future bars establish that a swing survived.
**KAMA** confirms the quality and direction of recent price progression.
**VWAP** measures the migration of session fair value and requires session history before its stronger statistical classification is available.
A pivot may therefore form before KAMA confirms a directional change, or KAMA may become directional before VWAP has accumulated enough session data to confirm persistent fair-value migration.
This disagreement is not necessarily an error. It can represent a developing transition in market structure.
### Practical Use
The indicator is best used as a layered decision framework:
**Structure:** Where are the surviving pivot zones?
**Trend:** Is KAMA ranging, transitioning, directional, or highly efficient?
**Fair Value:** Is session VWAP migrating with the move or remaining relatively neutral?
Agreement between the three components provides stronger contextual confirmation than any individual component alone.
### Limitations
This indicator is descriptive and confirmatory. It does not predict future price movement.
Adaptive calculations necessarily introduce varying amounts of delay. Increasing ER lookbacks, smoothing lengths, pivot confirmation requirements, KAMA slow length, or structural depth will generally produce more stable information at the cost of slower response.
Pending pivots can disappear before confirmation. Confirmed pivots are historical structural references and should not be interpreted as signals that would have been known on the original pivot bar.
KAMA states may remain in the prior direction while a reversal is developing, particularly when the KAMA Color Filter is enabled.
VWAP trend classifications require sufficient bars after the selected session begins and should be considered immature during the early-session warm-up period.
The indicator should therefore be used as market context and confirmation rather than as a standalone entry or exit system.

Aurora KAMA | KAMA Adaptive Trend StrategyAurora KAMA Trend is a trend-following strategy built around Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) — a moving average that speeds up when the market is trending cleanly and slows down when it's choppy, instead of using a fixed lookback like a standard SMA/EMA.
How it works:
Core signal: KAMA's slope determines direction. The strategy requires KAMA to be persistently rising (for longs) or falling (for shorts) over a configurable number of bars, filtering out minor wiggles near turning points.
Trend filter: An optional long-term SMA only allows longs above it and shorts below it, keeping trades aligned with the dominant trend.
Trade spacing: A cooldown period (in bars) prevents new entries from stacking up too close together during a single volatile move.
Risk management: An optional fixed percentage stop-loss, plus a trailing stop that only arms after a delay period, giving new positions room to develop before being trailed tightly.
Direction control: Trade long-only, short-only, or both.
Visuals:
The KAMA line changes color with trend direction (green/rising, red/falling, gray/flat), with a glowing red/green fill between KAMA and price whose intensity scales with the distance between them.
The trend SMA is rendered as a layered "glow" line — gold when sloping up, amber when sloping down.
Entries are marked with simple triangles; exits with small gray X's.
Tips:
Test on daily bars for liquid, trending instruments (e.g. BTCUSD, ES1!, SPY, QQQ) — KAMA needs a real trend to earn its keep.
Widen the rising/falling persistence inputs if you're getting whipsawed near turning points.
Turn off the SMA filter if you want KAMA to trade purely on its own slope, independent of the broader trend.
The trailing stop's delay is there to stop you from getting stopped out on entry noise — tighten it only if you're trading a slower timeframe.

MOYA Sessions & Volume Profile [RealSebastianMoya]Hello traders!
Introducing: "MOYA Sessions and Volume Profile"
This script rebuilds a full Volume Profile for any session length you choose — from a single Tokyo/London/New York session up to a full Yearly cycle — and layers on POC, Value Area High/Low, a live in-progress profile, and (new) real futures volume normalization for Forex/CFD charts.
But before getting into the settings, it's worth explaining where this way of reading the market comes from, because the indicator has no real value if you don't know what questions it's actually answering.
The Underlying Theory: Auction Market Theory
The market isn't a line going up or down. It's a continuous auction. At every moment, buyers and sellers are negotiating a "fair" price, and price moves searching for the level where both sides are willing to transact in volume.
This theory — originally developed for Market Profile by J. Peter Steidlmayer at the CBOT — starts from a simple idea:
Price tells you where the market moved. Volume tells you how much conviction was behind that move.
A regular candlestick chart only shows you the time sequence of price. A Volume Profile rotates that information 90 degrees and asks a different question at every price level: "how much actually traded here?"
The level with the most activity is the Point of Control (POC) — the price the market has "voted" for most often as fair.
The Two Market Regimes
Under this theory, the market constantly alternates between two regimes:
Balance / Equilibrium
Technical name: Balance, Rotational Value Area
What it means: Buyers and sellers accept a range and price rotates inside it without clear direction
Profile shape: Bell curve (D-Shape) — POC centered
Imbalance / Trend
Technical name: Imbalance, Trend Day, Directional Auction
What it means: One side (buyers or sellers) dominates and price refuses to rotate, moving away from the range
Profile shape: Spike (P-Shape or b-Shape) — POC at one extreme
Knowing which regime the market is in completely changes what a touch of the POC or a Value Area edge should mean to you. This is what many newer traders miss: they apply the same rule ("buy at VAL, sell at VAH") regardless of regime, and end up fading strong trends as if they were reversions.
Correct Terminology — What Each Thing Is Actually Called
Here's the real vocabulary used when trading with Volume Profile, so you know exactly which term to use and what each one means:
Levels
POC (Point of Control): the price with the highest traded volume in the session. It's the center of gravity of price.
VAH (Value Area High): the upper boundary of the zone where 70% (adjustable) of volume occurred.
VAL (Value Area Low): the lower boundary of that same zone.
Value Area (VA): the full range between VAH and VAL — the fair price zone accepted by the market.
Naked POC: a POC from a previous session that price has not yet returned to touch. These act as strong magnets because they represent unresolved business.
Price Behaviors
Mean Reversion: when price moves away from the POC but returns to it because the market is in balance. This is the dominant behavior inside an equilibrium regime.
Continuation: when price breaks a Value Area extreme and keeps moving in that direction without returning, because the market is in imbalance.
Rejection: price touches a level (VAH, VAL, or POC) and snaps back quickly, leaving a wick — a sign that level was defended.
Acceptance: price enters a zone and stays there, building new volume — a sign the market considers that new range fair.
Excess: a long, thin wick with no volume behind it — a sign of violent rejection of a price, typical at range extremes.
Breakout: when price exits the Value Area with force and increasing volume. If acceptance follows the breakout, it confirms as a trend start; if there's no acceptance, it's a false breakout (fakeout) and price returns to the range (this is mean reversion after a failed breakout attempt).
Double Distribution (B-Shape): when the profile shows two high-volume zones separated by a low-volume zone — indicates the market was in two distinct price agreements during the session, typical of a trend that paused midway.
On Buyers and Sellers
Classic Volume Profile doesn't directly measure who bought or sold (that's what Delta/CVD does, not part of pure profile reading), but dominance can be inferred by observing:
If the POC shifts upward session after session, buyers are defending higher prices, buyer control.
If the POC shifts downward session after session, seller control.
If the POC stays relatively fixed while volume grows, both sides are actively negotiating without ceding ground, balance, indecisive market.
How the Indicator Works Within This Theory
The script tracks session boundaries using exact timeframe change detection and rebuilds the price/volume grid every time a new session starts.
Each candle's volume is distributed across the price levels its high-low range actually touched (body/wick weighted model), so the profile reflects where price genuinely spent time and volume — not just where it closed.
Once a session closes, the script locates the POC and expands outward, level by level, until the configured percentage of total volume (default 70%) is captured — that boundary becomes your Value Area.
Rather than just showing you where price moved, this helps you answer:
Where did volume concentrate during the session?
Was the session accepted (balance) or rejected (imbalance)?
Where is the fair price zone for this period?
How does that zone line up against higher or lower timeframe context?
While a session is still forming, the script keeps its profile, POC, and Value Area updating in real time (Live Zone) — not just the last closed session — so you can react to developing structure instead of only analyzing it afterward.
Trading Scenarios — How This Is Actually Traded
These are the real scenarios where this reading applies. You add the chart; here's the logic behind each one.
Scenario 1 — Mean Reversion Inside Balance
Regime context: The previous session's profile shows a bell-curve shape (D-Shape), POC centered, and a wide Value Area that has stayed stable across several sessions. This indicates a market in balance.
What you see on the Volume Profile: Current price is drifting away from the POC toward the VAH without growing volume behind it (little real push).
Reading: Since we're in a balance regime, the move toward VAH is likely testing the edge of the range, not the start of a trend.
How it's traded: Look for a short on rejection at the VAH, targeting the POC. Stop above the VAH with a small buffer. This is the classic fade trade — and it only makes sense because the regime is balance; the same signal in a trending regime would be a trap.
Scenario 2 — Continuation After a Breakout With Acceptance
Regime context: Price breaks above the previous session's VAH. Instead of falling back, price stays above that level for several candles, and the new forming profile (Live Zone) starts building its own POC above the old VAH.
What you see on the Volume Profile: Acceptance — the market is actively trading in the new price range, not just passing through it.
Reading: This is evidence of directional imbalance — control shifted hands (likely to buyers) and a new Value Area is forming higher up.
How it's traded: Look for a long entry on the first pullback into the old VAH (which now acts as support — the classic resistance-to-support flip), targeting the next significant volume level from a higher timeframe (e.g., the weekly POC if you're trading on Daily). Stop below the old POC.
Scenario 3 — False Breakout (Fakeout) — Reversion, Not Continuation
Regime context: Price breaks below the VAL with a strong candle, but in the following session (or in the indicator's Live Zone) price returns inside the original Value Area without building new volume below.What you see on the Volume Profile: No acceptance — the new profile forming outside the range has very little volume compared to the prior profile, a sign nobody is defending that price.
Reading: The breakout was a liquidity grab, not a real regime change. The market is still in balance.How it's traded: Look for a long entry on the return inside the Value Area, targeting the POC and potentially the opposite VAH. This is the scenario where confusing "breakout" with "continuation" costs the most money — which is why the indicator's Live Zone is key: it lets you see in real time whether the new profile is gaining volume (real continuation) or staying empty (fakeout).
Scenario 4 — Double Distribution (B-Shape) — A Pause Inside a TrendRegime context: The session's profile shows two separate high-volume zones with a thin low-volume "neck" between them.
What you see on the Volume Profile: The market traded heavily in one range, then migrated and traded heavily again in another range, without spending much time in the middle.Reading: This typically occurs inside a trend that paused — two distinct price agreements in the same session, usually connected by a fast directional move (the low-volume "neck" is where price moved without resistance).
How it's traded: The low-volume neck (the thin part of the profile) is a low-liquidity zone — if price returns there, it tends to cut through quickly in either direction, not stay. It's not a zone to trade reversion; it's a zone to wait for price to cross through and react at the POC of whichever side it's heading toward.
Scenario 5 — Multi-Timeframe Confluence (the Indicator's Most Powerful Use)Regime context: You run the indicator on Weekly and see current price touching the weekly VAL. You switch to Daily and see a daily POC also forming right at that same level.
What you see on the Volume Profile: Two different timeframes coinciding at the same price — the "why" (weekly context) and the "when" (daily execution) are aligned.Reading: This confluence across timeframes is the highest-probability signal in the whole system, because it doesn't depend on a single profile — it depends on the market respecting the same level from two different time perspectives.
How it's traded: Take the entry on Daily (precise execution), with directional bias given by the weekly regime (if weekly price is in balance, trade the reversion toward the weekly POC; if weekly is in imbalance, trade continuation toward the next relevant volume level). Stop goes outside the daily Value Area; target is the weekly POC or the opposite VAH/VAL, depending on the identified regime.
Scenario 6 — Using Real Futures Volume to Confirm Regime on Forex/CFDRegime context: You're trading XAUUSD on your CFD broker. Your broker's tick volume is synthetic (it counts price changes, not real contracts), so a profile built on that volume can show a different shape than actual market activity.
What you see on the Volume Profile: With External Futures Volume enabled and auto-detect pointing to COMEX:GC1! (Gold futures), the profile now reflects real futures market participation, while price levels still come from your XAUUSD chart.
Reading: This matters especially when your broker's tick volume gives you a POC in one place and real futures volume gives you a POC somewhere else — the difference tells you that real institutional market activity sits at a different level than what your broker is showing.
How it's traded: Prioritize the POC/VA calculated with real futures volume over native tick volume when the two diverge, because regulated futures volume (CME/COMEX/NYMEX) is auditable and reflects real participation, while tick count only reflects your specific broker's activity.Summary — Why Use This IndicatorThis script is designed for traders who read the market through:Volume Profile and Point of Control / Value Area (Auction Market Theory)Market regime identification (balance vs. imbalance)Multi-timeframe confluenceReal vs. synthetic volume on Forex/CFD instruments
Because you can run the same profile logic across completely different session lengths — from a single hourly cycle to a full year — you can compare how conviction built across timeframes: does the Daily POC sit inside last week's Value Area? Is price accepted or rejected at last month's VAH? That layered context is where this script earns its keep.Note: every scenario assumes you identify the market regime (balance vs. imbalance) first before deciding whether to trade reversion or continuation — trading the wrong signal for the wrong regime is the most common cause of losses when using Volume Profile.

In strict compliance with TradingViews House Rules regarding open-source code reuse, I explicitly credit and thank the original developer @LeviathanCapital for their open-source script "Market sessions and Volume profile - By Leviathan", which served as the structural foundation for the session isolation and baseline volume array logic in this indicator.
Significant Algorithmic Enhancements and Added Value:
While the primary mathematical grid expansion retains architectural roots from open source, this script introduces massive procedural improvements, structural upgrades, and new calculations developed entirely by me to transform it into an institutional-grade utility:
Automated External Futures Volume Normalization (Forex/CFD Context): Implemented a dictionary algorithm (getAutoFuturesTicker) to auto-detect and scale native tick charts against centralized futures markets (e.g., CME:6E1!, COMEX:GC1!, CME_MINI:NQ1!). This replaces synthetic broker data with authentic trading volume while maintaining local price scales.
Volume Nodes Engine (Multi-Peak HVN / LVN Detection): Developed an array scanning filter that runs on closed sessions to automatically isolate contiguous high/low volume anomalies. This effectively flags multiple supply/demand zones (like the humps of a double-distribution profile) beyond the baseline single POC.
Real-Time Live Zone Tracking: Integrated a dynamic recalculation engine for ongoing unclosed trading sessions, updating developing POCs, VAHs, and VALs seamlessly on the active bar state.
Interactive Live Dashboard Panel: Programmed a comprehensive on-screen status table displaying absolute values for POC/VAH/VAL, current distance from point of control, value area boundary status, and status indicators of the active volume feed.
Expanded Graphical and Period Customization: Redesigned aesthetic configurations, text label sizing, box boundary styles, and added resolution adjustments alongside line right-extensions.

Top Strategy Finder [SpokoStocks]Top Strategy Finder
What if your chart could tell you which trading rule has actually worked on it?
Add this script to any symbol, any timeframe, and it backtests up to 2,304 complete strategies on that exact chart, ranks them, and shows a leaderboard you can read like a sentence: "Buy when RSI(2) drops below 10, only in calm volatility, exit on the reverse signal." Pick a row. Its trades appear on your price chart, its open position shows entry, stop and target, and its alerts are ready. No coding, no settings to tune.
Then it does something most strategy finders never show you: it walks forward and reports, without hindsight, whether trusting its own picks would have made money.
The problem it solves
Every strategy finder finds a winner. That is the easy part. Test enough rules on the same data and something always looks brilliant. The question that decides whether you make money is different: would that rule have worked from the moment you picked it?
This script answers it on the chart. On every bar it re-ranks all strategies using only the bars seen so far and follows a basket of the current leaders. The blue curve is what following those picks, bar by bar, would have produced. The gold curve is the champion's in-sample record. The gap between them is selection bias, drawn in the open. When both rise, the edge survived being chosen. When only the gold one does, you were looking at luck.
What you get
Leaderboard
• The top strategies (6 by default, up to 10) in plain language: entry on the first line, exit and filter on the second
• Trades and win rate as a bar, profit factor, net and max drawdown, all heat-coloured, in a table kept narrow so the chart stays visible
• Rank 1 starred, your selected row highlighted
• A trading plan for the selected row: exactly when to buy or sell, in which market condition, and how to exit
• A walk-forward line: what following the top basket would have earned, and how often the champion changed
• A "now" line: what your selected strategy and the basket hold on this bar
Performance pane
• Growth from the same start bar: buy & hold, the walk-forward basket, the champion, your selected row
• Each curve named with its result at the right edge
• Basket profit or loss area, optional drawdown shading, optional log scale
Price chart
• The selected strategy's recent trades drawn as green or red segments
• Its open trade with entry, stop and target lines
• Exposure shading and markers whenever the followed strategy turns long, short or flat
Alerts
• Selected strategy enters long, enters short, exits
• Basket turns long or short
• Champion enters long or short, champion changed
What is tested
Each strategy = one entry signal × one direction × one exit rule × one market filter.
24 entries, each with a long and a mirrored short version: EMA 9/21 and 20/50 crosses · close crossing SMA 20 and SMA 50 · RSI(2) beyond 10/90 and 5/95 · RSI(14) leaving 30/70 and crossing 50 · close beyond the 2σ and 2.5σ Bollinger bands · 10, 20 and 55-bar breakouts · MACD histogram crossing zero · MACD line crossing signal · Supertrend (3,10) and (2,14) flips · Stochastic leaving 20/80 · inside-bar breakout · three closes against the trade · ADX above 20 with a DI cross · Williams %R beyond −90/−10 · fresh 10-bar extreme with a reversal close · gap continuation.
8 exits: after 5, 10 or 20 bars · stop 2 ATR / target 3 ATR · stop 1 ATR / target 2 ATR · stop and target 1.5 ATR · trailing stop 3 ATR · exit on the reverse signal.
6 filters: any market · with the 200-bar trend · against it · calm volatility · high volatility · with 20-bar momentum.
Search sizes: Quick 288 · Standard 768 · Deep 1,536 · Max 2,304.
How the backtest works
• Entries at the close of the signal bar.
• Stops and targets are checked against the following bars' highs and lows; if both are touched in one bar, the stop is assumed.
• Every side pays the cost you set (default 0.05%).
• A strategy must reach the minimum number of trades (default 30) and, by default, be net profitable to rank at all.
• Rank by Win %, SQN, profit factor, net profit, expectancy, return / drawdown, or average win / average loss.
• The champion keeps its title until a challenger beats it by a margin you set, so the title does not flip on noise.
• The walk-forward basket follows the top K (default 5) equally weighted, chosen at each bar's close and exposed to the next bar's move.
Repainting and data
All signals are evaluated on the chart's own OHLC data, with no higher-timeframe requests. Entries, exits and rankings are confirmed at the close of each bar; the walk-forward curve and every trade in the logs are built only from closed bars and do not change afterwards. The leaderboard order can change as new bars close, because new trades change the statistics; that is the ranking updating, not a redraw of history.
How to use it in five minutes
1. Add it to the chart you trade. Start with the Standard size.
2. Read the leaderboard. Favour rows with many trades and a modest drawdown over rows with a large net and few trades.
3. Look at the pane. Blue rising with gold: the edge survived being chosen. Blue flat while gold soars: the leaders are curve-fit to this chart.
4. Pick the row you want to trade. Read its plan under the table, check its drawn trades, set its alerts.
5. Switch the ranking metric. Rules that stay on top under several metrics are the robust ones.
What it is not
An indicator, not a strategy() script, so there is no order-by-order report from the built-in tester. It is a discovery tool: it tells you which rule to build and shows you, without hindsight, whether choosing that rule would have paid. Results depend on the bars tested (default the last 2,500) and on your cost setting. Past results do not guarantee future performance. This is not financial advice.

GM Institutional LevelsGM Institutional Levels is a clean price-level indicator designed to highlight important psychological market levels where price may react, pause, reject or break through.
The indicator was originally built from my round-number logic on USDNOK and later adapted for Gold and other markets.
It separates levels into:
Minor Institutional Levels
Major Institutional Levels
For Gold, the default structure uses:
$50 Minor Institutional Levels
$100 Major Institutional Levels
The indicator also includes presets for Gold, Forex, Indices, Crypto and Custom markets, together with price labels, a dashboard and optional alerts when price approaches or crosses an important level.
These levels are not automatic buy or sell signals. They are intended as areas to watch for confirmation from price action, market structure, FVG/IFVG, divergence and other forms of confluence.
Main Features:
• Minor and Major Institutional Levels
• Gold, Forex, Index and Crypto presets
• Custom level spacing
• Full-chart horizontal levels
• Price labels
• Nearest-level dashboard
• Proximity alerts
• Cross alerts
• Clean and simple chart layout
The goal of GM Institutional Levels is to keep the chart simple and focus attention on important psychological price areas.
Trade the level.
Wait for confirmation.

US Yield Curve 3D Term Structure [MantisAlgo]US Yield Curve 3D Term Structure maps official US Treasury benchmark yields across five core tenors: 3M, 2Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 30Y. Extended tenors (off by default) add 6M, 1Y, 3Y, 7Y, and 20Y.
TERM = Maturity from 3M to 30Y
TIME = Each tenor’s evolution over the latest ten monthly closes by default, from current to oldest. 10 daily sessions are also available.
YIELD = Nominal Treasury yield in percent
The indicator can be used on any chart symbol as a U.S. rates context tool.
🌐 3D SURFACE
The lower pane displays the current Treasury curve with ten months of historical depth by default (the current month plus nine prior monthly closes). Switch Surface history to 10 Sessions for the current daily close plus nine prior sessions. Surface colors compare each tenor with its own selected daily average:
- 21 trading days — one month
- 63 trading days — one quarter (default)
- 126 trading days — six months
- 252 trading days — one year
Cooler colors indicate values below the selected average, while warmer colors indicate values above it. If an older month is missing for a tenor, that point is left off the mesh. Camera rotation changes only the viewing angle.
Surface steepness changes only how tall the mesh looks. Soft (default) keeps a mild curve looking mild. Normal sits between Soft and Sharp. Sharp makes the same curve look steeper.
📈 HISTORY RIBBON
The Treasury tenors are also plotted as 2D history on the active chart timeframe. 2Y and 10Y are the thicker traces. Each line’s color reflects that tenor’s relative level versus its selected daily average.
📊 DASHBOARD
Curve State classifies the current shape of the core five:
- 🟢 UPWARD SLOPING — yields rise from 3M to 30Y
- 🟠 HUMPED — 2Y, 5Y, or 10Y stands above both 3M and 30Y
- 🟠 FLAT — the core five span 5 bps or less
- 🔴 DOWNWARD SLOPING — 3M is the high
- 🟠 MIXED — the core five do not form a clean rise, fall, hump, or flat
Curve Shift classifies how the 10Y−2Y spread just moved versus the previous trading day, even when the surface shows ten months:
- UNCHANGED — the spread change is inside 1.5 bps
- BULLISH STEEPENING — the spread widens as 2Y falls more than 10Y
- BEARISH STEEPENING — the spread widens as 10Y rises more than 2Y
- BEARISH FLATTENING — the spread narrows as 2Y rises more than 10Y
- BULLISH FLATTENING — the spread narrows as 10Y falls more than 2Y
The dashboard also reports the 3M, 2Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 30Y yields.
Rate Level uses the median relative level of 2Y, 5Y, and 10Y:
- 🟢 LOW RATE — 0.90 or lower
- 🟠 MID RATE — between 0.90 and 1.08
- 🔴 HIGH RATE — 1.08 or higher
⚙️ SETTINGS
Surface history sets the 3D time axis:
- 10 Months — current month plus nine prior monthly closes (default). TIME → 10 MO
- 10 Sessions — current daily close plus nine prior sessions. TIME → 10 SESS
Extended tenors (default Off):
- Off — core five only (default)
- On — add 6M, 1Y, 3Y, 7Y, and 20Y between the core 3M / 2Y / 5Y / 10Y / 30Y anchors
This changes only what is drawn.
Heat average length controls the historical baseline used for surface colors and Rate Level. It uses daily data even when Surface history is monthly:
- 21 trading days — one month; most responsive, more sensitive to noise
- 63 trading days — one quarter; balanced short-to-medium-term baseline and the default
- 126 trading days — six months; broader regime comparison
- 252 trading days — one year; slowest to react to recent regime changes
Changing Heat average length does not change the live tenor values or Curve State. It changes only how current yields sit versus their historical baseline.
Surface steepness changes only how tall the 3D mesh looks:
- Soft — keeps a mild curve looking mild (default)
- Normal — between Soft and Sharp
- Sharp — makes the same curve look steeper
Surface labels are flags on the live 3D curve. Exact yields are on the dashboard:
- Tenor — names only (default)
- Tenor + % — names and yield
- Off — hide flags
View rotates the 3D surface. Default is Back-left: TIME recedes back and left so the live curve faces you.
- Near-right
- Back-left (default)
- Straight-up
- Side-right — full right side view
- Side-left — full left side view
- Top-down — looks down on the term × time plane
- Top-reverse
- Custom
Custom angle is used only when View is Custom. Range is −90° to +90° in 5° steps (default −60°). −90° is full left; +90° is full right.
Panel selects the dashboard corner on the price chart (default top_right):
- top_right
- top_left
- bottom_right
- bottom_left
🧭 HOW TO USE
Use Curve State to read the slope of the Treasury curve and Curve Shift to read how 10Y−2Y moved versus the previous trading day. Use the surface to track how each tenor has changed over the latest ten months (or ten sessions).
Colors show whether each tenor is above or below its selected historical average. The surface provides rates context rather than a directional price target.
🔔 ALERTS
Alerts fire when Curve State changes to DOWNWARD SLOPING, UPWARD SLOPING, or HUMPED, and when Curve Shift changes to BULLISH STEEPENING, BEARISH STEEPENING, BULLISH FLATTENING, or BEARISH FLATTENING.

Edo Swing LevelsEdo Swing Levels — Tracks the Swing High and Low, Marks the Strong Level Defending the Trend and Flags the CHoCH When It Breaks
At any moment, market structure comes down to two prices: the last swing high and the last swing low. But they are not equal. One of them is the level that defends the current trend —the one a trader watches to know whether the trend continues or breaks— and the other is only a matter of time before it is taken. Edo Swing Levels keeps both always in view and, crucially, tells them apart.
It marks the level defending the trend as Strong —a solid, marked line— and the other as Weak —a dashed, faded line. In an uptrend the swing low is Strong (the support that holds) and the high is Weak; in a downtrend the swing high is Strong (the cap that holds) and the low is Weak. When price closes through the Strong level, a change of character (CHoCH) occurs: the structure that held the trend up breaks, the bias flips and the roles swap. Everything is validated on closed bars, so it does not repaint. The strong and weak levels, their roles and the change of character are all resolved on the chart's own series, with nothing else required.
STRONG AND WEAK LEVELS
The indicator keeps the last confirmed swing high and swing low, and classifies them by the bias. In a bullish bias, the low is the Strong level and the high is Weak. In a bearish bias, the high is Strong and the low is Weak. The Strong level is drawn solid, thicker and at full opacity; the Weak level is dashed, thinner and faded. Each line carries a label —Strong High, Weak High, Strong Low or Weak Low— and both are projected to the right by a configurable number of bars so they sit ahead of price as live references. The high level is red and the low level teal by default, with a neutral gray until a trend is defined.
SWING PROFILES
The sensitivity of the levels is set by the Swing Profile: Scalper (5 bars each side) for fast intraday levels on low timeframes, Swing (10 bars, the default) for the balanced 4H and daily read, and Long Term (21 bars) for the major levels on weekly and higher horizons. The larger the length, the more significant a turn has to be, and the more important and spaced out the marked levels are.
BIAS AND CHoCH
The bias is inferred from the breaks of structure and is what decides which level is Strong and which Weak. A close above the last swing high turns the bias bullish; a close below the last swing low turns it bearish. The decisive event is the change of character: when price closes through the Strong level —below the Strong Low in an uptrend, or above the Strong High in a downtrend— the trend that the level defended breaks, the bias flips and the strong level becomes weak. Taking out the Weak level, by contrast, is a simple continuation that confirms the trend without changing it. The solid/dashed distinction separates, at a glance, the decisive level from the one that is a mere target.
INFORMATION PANEL
A compact panel under the indicator header shows the market bias (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral) and, for the high and the low, their exact price and whether each is the Strong or Weak level, in the same red/teal color code. The bias row gives the direction; the High and Low rows give the prices and, above all, which of the two is the Strong level to watch. The panel sits in any of the four chart corners (Top Right by default), comes in three sizes (Tiny / Small / Normal) and two themes (Dark / Light), and can be hidden entirely. To keep the calculation light, it is drawn only on the last bar.
NO REPAINTING
Levels are built on confirmed pivots and breaks are validated on closed bars, so a level never appears or disappears intrabar and a wick that pierces a level but closes back on the same side does not count as a break. There are no higher-timeframe functions: all logic runs on the current chart timeframe. For a multi-timeframe read, apply it on several charts at once.
CONFIGURATION
The inputs are grouped by block. Structure sets the swing profile and how many bars the levels are projected to the right. Style exposes the high-level and low-level colors, the neutral color, the label size and the Dark/Light theme. Panel controls panel visibility, position and size. The defaults are calibrated to work without adjustment on stocks, crypto, forex, indices and futures, on any timeframe — the input most users touch is the Swing Profile, to set the sensitivity of the levels to their trading horizon.
ALERTS
Four predefined alerts cover the structure read. Strong High taken and Strong Low taken fire on the change of character —when price closes through the Strong level and the trend turns— and are the context alerts. New swing high and New swing low fire when a new level is fixed. All alerts fire on bar close, consistent with the indicator's anti-repaint validation.
HOW TO READ IT
Take the Strong level as your invalidation line: while price respects it, trading with the bias has the wind at its back, and its close-through is the signal that the trend has broken. Take the Weak level as your target: in an uptrend price tends to go for the weak high, in a downtrend for the weak low, and the distance between the two levels gives the room available inside the current structure. And treat the taking of the Strong level as the cleanest turn warning —it often marks the start of a new leg in the opposite direction. Pairing it with the HH/HL/LH/LL sequence classification reinforces the read.

TF: Smooth Trend Follower with Volume Sparks (STF)TradingFlow: Smooth Trend Follower with Volume Sparks (STF)
STF keeps the active trend visible with a trailing dotted line and a soft shadow between the line and price. Optional Volume Sparks add a second gradient that brightens when volume becomes unusually active during the trend.
Use STF to read trend direction, follow pullbacks toward the trailing boundary, and spot changes in market participation without adding more panels to the chart.
The Trend Line
• Smoothed range distance: STF smooths each bar's high-low range with a Hull moving average. This creates a responsive price distance while filtering short-term noise.
• Fixed or adaptive factor: the range distance is multiplied by the Base Factor. With ATR adaptation enabled, the factor rises or falls with current ATR relative to its average, within the selected minimum and maximum limits.
• Trailing bands: upper and lower bands ratchet behind price. A close through the opposite band changes the trend direction.
• Visual offset: the dotted line and start marker can be moved away from candles by an ATR-based distance. The offset changes the display, not the trend calculation.
Reading STF
• Green line below price: an active uptrend. Pullbacks toward the line show how closely price is testing the trailing boundary.
• Red line above price: an active downtrend. Rallies toward the line show the same test from the opposite direction.
• Start marker: a circle marks a confirmed direction change at the close of the bar.
• Trend shadow: the pale fill makes the distance between price and the active boundary easy to see.
When price and the line move together with a steady gap, the trend is progressing cleanly. A fast move back toward the line deserves attention, especially near a prior high, low, breakout level, or other visible structure.
Volume Sparks
Volume Sparks rank each bar's volume within the selected lookback. Because the reading is relative, it adapts to the symbol and timeframe automatically.
• Sparks mode: highlights bars above the selected volume percentile. The strongest readings produce the brightest pulses.
• Continuous mode: keeps a light participation layer visible and varies its intensity with the volume rank.
• Gradient: the pulse is strongest at the dotted trend line and fades toward price. Green or red continues to show trend direction; brightness shows volume intensity.
Volume Sparks measure activity, not trade direction. Read a bright pulse together with the candle and nearby structure. On symbols with missing, sparse, or unchanging volume, the layer switches itself off while STF continues normally.
A Simple Reading Process
1. Read the line's color and position to establish the current direction.
2. Check whether price is extending, tracking the line, or pulling back toward it.
3. Use a Volume Spark to locate bars where participation expanded.
4. At a direction change, compare the confirmed marker with nearby price structure.
5. Set the alert that matches the trend event you want to follow.

TradingFlow: Smooth Trend Follower with Volume Sparks (STF)
STF 用一條會跟著趨勢推進的虛線，加上價格與虛線之間的淡色陰影，讓目前方向一眼就能看懂。開啟 Volume Sparks 後，趨勢區內會多一層量能漸層；成交量明顯升溫時，顏色也會跟著變亮。
STF 適合拿來看趨勢方向、觀察價格拉回追蹤線的深度，也能直接在主圖上看到量能何時突然放大，不必一直切換到副圖。
趨勢線
• 平滑波幅： 先用 Hull 移動平均處理每根 K 棒的高低差，濾掉短線雜訊，同時保留對波動變化的反應速度。
• 固定或自適應倍數： 平滑波幅會乘上 Base Factor。開啟 ATR 自適應後，倍數會跟著目前 ATR 相對於平均 ATR 的高低調整，並限制在設定的上下限之間。
• 追蹤軌道： 上、下軌道會沿著價格單向推進。收盤價穿過另一側軌道時，趨勢方向切換。
• 視覺偏移： 可用 ATR 距離把虛線和起始圓點移離 K 棒。這項設定只改變畫面，不會改變訊號。
STF 怎麼看
• 價格下方的綠色虛線： 目前是上升趨勢。價格拉回虛線時，可以直接看出這次回測有多深。
• 價格上方的紅色虛線： 目前是下降趨勢。反彈靠近虛線時，也是同樣的觀察方式。
• 起始圓點： K 棒收盤確認方向切換後，圓點會標出新趨勢的起點。
• 趨勢陰影： 淡色區塊把價格到追蹤線的距離直接畫出來。
價格和虛線維持穩定距離、一起往同一方向推進，通常是比較順的走法。價格快速回到虛線附近時，就要多看一眼，尤其是剛好碰到前高、前低、突破位或其他明顯結構的位置。
Volume Sparks（量能脈衝）
量能脈衝會把每根 K 棒的成交量放進指定回看區間，計算它目前落在哪個百分位。用相對排名取代固定數字後，不同商品和週期都能用同一套邏輯判讀。
• Sparks 模式： 只有成交量超過設定的百分位門檻才會亮起。排名越高，脈衝越明顯。
• Continuous 模式： 持續保留一層淡淡的量能顯示，再依成交量排名調整深淺。
• 漸層方向： 顏色在虛線附近最強，往價格方向逐漸淡出。綠色和紅色負責表示趨勢方向，亮度則表示量能強弱。
量能脈衝看的是活躍程度，不是買賣方向。看到明顯脈衝時，搭配當根 K 棒和附近結構一起看就好。遇到沒有成交量、資料太零散或成交量長期不變的商品，這一層會自動隱藏，STF 趨勢線照常運作。
實際看圖流程
1. 先看虛線顏色和它在價格的哪一側，確認目前方向。
2. 看價格是在加速遠離、沿著虛線推進，還是拉回測試虛線。
3. 量能脈衝亮起時，留意參與度放大的 K 棒。
4. 方向切換時，把收盤確認圓點和附近價格結構放在一起看。
5. 依照想追蹤的事件設定提醒。

TradingFlow: Smooth Trend Follower with Volume Sparks (STF)
STFは、トレンドを追う点線と、価格との間を埋める薄いシェードで現在の方向を見やすくします。Volume Sparksをオンにすると、トレンド領域に出来高のグラデーションが重なり、普段より商いが活発なバーが明るく表示されます。
トレンド方向、ラインへの押し・戻り、出来高の盛り上がりをメインチャートだけでまとめて確認できます。
トレンドライン
• 平滑化した値幅： 各バーの高値と安値の差をHull移動平均でならし、細かなノイズを抑えながら値動きの変化を捉えます。
• 固定または適応ファクター： 平滑化した値幅にBase Factorを掛けます。ATR適応をオンにすると、現在のATRと平均ATRの比率に合わせてファクターが動き、設定した上下限の範囲に収まります。
• トレーリングバンド： 上下のバンドは価格の後ろを一方向に追います。終値が反対側のバンドを抜けると、トレンド方向が切り替わります。
• 表示オフセット： ATRベースの距離で点線と開始マーカーをローソク足から離せます。変わるのは表示位置だけで、シグナルには影響しません。
STFの見方
• 価格の下にある緑の点線： 上昇トレンドです。押しがラインへどこまで近づいたかを確認できます。
• 価格の上にある赤の点線： 下降トレンドです。戻りがラインへ近づく場面も同じように見ます。
• 開始マーカー： 終値で方向転換が確定すると、丸印が新しいトレンドの始まりを示します。
• トレンドシェード： 価格とトレーリングラインの距離を薄い色で表示します。
価格とラインが一定の間隔を保ちながら同じ方向へ進むと、トレンドの流れがつかみやすくなります。価格が急にラインへ戻る場面では、直近の高値・安値やブレイク水準など、周辺の値動きも合わせて確認します。
Volume Sparks（出来高ハイライト）
出来高ハイライトは、各バーの出来高が設定した期間内でどの水準にあるかをパーセンタイルで表示します。固定値ではなく相対順位なので、銘柄や時間足が変わっても同じ考え方で使えます。
• Sparksモード： 出来高が設定したパーセンタイルを超えたバーだけを強調します。順位が高いほど明るくなります。
• Continuousモード： 薄い出来高レイヤーを常時表示し、順位に合わせて濃さを変えます。
• グラデーション： 点線の近くで最も濃く、価格へ向かって薄くなります。緑と赤はトレンド方向、明るさは出来高の強さを表します。
この表示が見ているのは出来高の活発さです。強く光ったバーは、そのローソク足と周辺の値動きと合わせて読みます。出来高がない、データがまばら、または出来高が変化しない銘柄では自動的に非表示になり、STFのトレンドラインはそのまま動作します。
基本の見方
1. 点線の色と位置から現在の方向を確認します。
2. 価格がラインから離れているか、ラインに沿っているか、ラインへ戻っているかを見ます。
3. 出来高ハイライトが強まったバーで、市場参加が増えた場所を確認します。
4. 方向転換では、終値確定のマーカーと周辺の価格構造を合わせて見ます。
5. 追いたいトレンドイベントに合わせてアラートを設定します。

[Viprasol] Gold Sniper ConfluenceOverview
Gold Sniper Confluence is a gold-only edition of the Sniper Confluence engine, which builds on "Sniper Entry/Exit with SL&TP by KhanSaab V.02" by KhanSaab (open-source). KhanSaab's script provides the fast / slow EMA crossover trigger, the ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit ladder, the VWAP overlay, RSI and MACD read-outs, a secondary-timeframe RSI and the EMA-retest candle highlight. This version keeps every one of those components and adds two layers on top: a confluence scoring gate that decides whether a crossover is allowed to become a signal, and a gold layer that only exists because gold trades differently from other markets: a symbol guard that suppresses signals on non-gold charts, a US Dollar Index (DXY) inverse-correlation factor, a London / New York session filter and an average-daily-range (ADR) exhaustion filter with dollar and point risk read-outs.
It is built for XAUUSD and GC / MGC futures traders on intraday charts who want each crossover confirmed by the dollar, the session and the day's remaining range before acting. The on-chart HOW IT WORKS legend, live checklist and summary footer explain the logic directly on the chart.
Why Gold Needs Its Own Filters (Mashup Justification)
- Gold is priced in dollars, so a rising dollar is a headwind for gold and a falling dollar a tailwind. An EMA crossover that fights the dollar is a lower-quality crossover. The DXY factor scores that relationship, but only while the two are actually moving inversely, because the link does break at times (risk-off days, rate shocks).
- Gold's volume and range are concentrated in the London and New York sessions. Crossovers during the Asian session tend to happen in thin, choppy conditions and are more likely to whipsaw.
- Gold has a fairly stable average daily range. Once the day has already travelled its usual distance, a late crossover is buying or selling into exhaustion. The ADR filter blocks those entries.
- The symbol guard keeps the DXY and ADR logic honest: it only makes sense on gold, so signals are suppressed elsewhere unless you deliberately turn gold-only mode off.
How It Works
1. EMA crossover trigger (from original)
Fast EMA (default 9) crossing above the slow EMA (default 21) is a long trigger; crossing below is a short trigger. With bar-close confirmation on (new), the cross must still hold when the bar closes.
2. Confluence score, 8 factors (factors 1-7 were displayed in the original; the scoring gate and factor 8 are new)
Each bar the indicator counts how many factors agree with each direction:
bullScore = 0
bullScore += close > VWAP
bullScore += RSI(14) > 50
bullScore += MACD line > signal line
bullScore += fast EMA > slow EMA
bullScore += ADX(14) > 25 and close > fast EMA
bullScore += volume > SMA(volume, 20) and close > open
bullScore += RSI(14) on the confirmation timeframe > 50
bullScore += DXY inverse factor (see step 3)
bearScore = mirror image (below instead of above)
a crossover becomes a signal only if its score >= Minimum score (default 5 of 8)
3. DXY inverse-correlation factor (new)
dxyClose, dxyEma = DXY close and EMA(dxyClose, 21) on the chart timeframe
corr = correlation(close, dxyClose, 20)
linkActive = corr <= -0.3
bull point if linkActive and dxyClose < dxyEma (dollar weak)
bear point if linkActive and dxyClose > dxyEma (dollar strong)
no point to either side while the link is not active
The dashboard shows the DXY value, its trend arrow, the live correlation and a tick when the link is active. Turning the factor off makes the score out of 7.
4. Gold symbol guard (new)
isGold = base currency == "XAU"
or ticker contains "XAU" or "GOLD" (non-stock symbols)
or futures root == "GC" or "MGC"
or ticker contains your custom keyword
if gold-only mode and not isGold: signals suppressed, dashboard header turns red
5. London / New York session filter (new)
inLondon = bar time inside 03:00-12:00 (New York time, editable)
inNewYork = bar time inside 08:00-17:00 (New York time, editable)
sessionOk = filter off, or chart is daily or higher, or inLondon or inNewYork
Blocked crossovers are marked with a small grey x and the dashboard shows which session (or ASIA / OFF-HOURS) the last bar belongs to. The active session can be shaded on the chart.
6. ADR exhaustion filter (new)
ADR = SMA(daily high - daily low, 14) taken from completed days only
todayRange = running high - running low of the current day, built from the chart's own bars
adrUsed% = todayRange / ADR * 100
adrOk = filter off, or adrUsed% < Block threshold (default 100%)
The ADR is requested from the daily feed with a one-bar offset so historical and live bars see the same completed-day value. Because the ADR uses finished days and today's range is accumulated bar by bar, neither value repaints. The dashboard shows ADR in dollars and the percentage used, turning amber from 75% of the threshold and red once blocked.
7. Final signal gate (new)
LONG = bull crossover and bullScore >= minimum and goldOk and sessionOk and adrOk and not already long
SHORT = mirror image
Every gate only removes crossovers; none of them creates a signal that the original crossover logic would not have produced.
8. ATR stop and take-profit ladder (from original, extended)
Stop = entry -/+ ATR(14) x 1.5. Targets sit at 1R, 2R and 3R. The number of targets (1-3) is configurable (new), target lines turn turquoise and the label gets a tick when touched (from original) and the stop moves to breakeven when TP1 is hit (new). Every label states its distance from entry in points, for example "SL: 4364.87 (-50 pts)" or "TP1: 4355.83 (+40 pts)", and the dashboard shows the same distances in dollars and points (new). The point size is configurable because brokers count gold points differently.
9. Retest candles (from original)
While a trade is active, a candle that pulls back into the fast EMA without breaking the slow EMA is coloured orange.
What Is Original (Viprasol Additions)
1. Confluence scoring gate: the seven original read-outs are turned into a score that must reach a minimum before a crossover can fire.
2. DXY inverse-correlation factor with a rolling-correlation switch, so the dollar only votes while the inverse link is real.
3. Gold symbol guard that detects spot, CFD and futures gold from the symbol and suppresses signals elsewhere.
4. London / New York session filter with editable windows and timezone.
5. ADR exhaustion filter using completed-day ranges and a live, non-repainting intraday range, plus dollar and point risk read-outs on the labels and dashboard.
6. Bar-close confirmation of the crossover.
7. Breakeven trailing after TP1 and a configurable number of take-profit levels.
8. Blocked-signal markers that show exactly which crossovers the gold filters removed and why.
Key Features
From the Original (KhanSaab):
- Fast / slow EMA crossover long and short triggers
- ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit levels with hit colouring
- VWAP overlay with directional colouring
- RSI, MACD, ADX and volume read-outs
- Secondary-timeframe RSI
- Orange EMA-retest candles
Added in This Version (Viprasol):
- 8-factor confluence score with minimum-score gate
- DXY inverse-correlation factor with live correlation check
- Gold symbol guard with custom keyword
- London / New York session filter with session shading
- ADR exhaustion filter with % used and $ / pts distances
- Bar-close confirmation, breakeven trail, 1-3 configurable targets with signed point distances on every label
- Grey x markers for crossovers blocked by a gold filter
- Dashboard with every factor, the three gold gates and the open trade
- HOW IT WORKS legend, live tick / cross checklist and strategy summary panels, each with its own position setting
- Ten alert conditions with dynamic messages
How to Use
Setup:
1. Open a gold chart (OANDA:XAUUSD, FX:XAUUSD, COMEX:GC1! or MGC1!) using standard candlesticks.
2. Keep the default 9 / 21 EMAs and minimum score 5 to start.
3. Check the Session timezone. Windows are written in New York time by default; switch to Exchange if you prefer your broker's clock.
4. Set Point size to match how your broker counts gold points (0.10 for most, so a $5.00 stop reads as 50 pts).
Reading the chart:
- BUY label below a bar = bullish crossover that passed the score and all three gold gates. SELL label above a bar = bearish equivalent.
- Grey x = a crossover that had enough confluence but was blocked by the symbol guard, the session filter or the ADR filter. The dashboard's Signal row names the reason.
- Cyan dashed line = entry, red line = stop, green dashed lines = TP1-TP3. Each line ends at a label that shows the price and the distance from entry in points. A turquoise line and a tick on the label mean that target was touched. A dotted cyan stop means it has moved to breakeven.
- Orange candle = pullback into the fast EMA while the trade is active.
- Violet shading = London window, gold shading = New York window, brighter gold = the overlap.
Panels:
- HOW IT WORKS (top left by default) explains the flow in seven lines.
- Checklist (bottom left by default) shows a tick or cross for all eight factors and the three gold gates for the currently stronger side, and states whether the engine is ARMED, BLOCKED or waiting for confluence.
- Dashboard (top right by default) shows live values, DXY, session, ADR, risk in $ and points, and trade status.
- Every panel has its own position setting (nine positions), so they can be arranged to suit any chart size.
Recommended starting points:
- Scalping (1m-5m): EMA 5 / 13, minimum score 6, ATR x 1.0, ADR block 90%
- Intraday (15m-1H): EMA 9 / 21, minimum score 5, ATR x 1.5, ADR block 100%
- Swing (4H-1D): EMA 9 / 21, minimum score 4, ATR x 2.0, session filter off
These are starting points only. Gold's volatility regime changes; test on historical data and adjust before trading live.
Settings
1 Signal Engine: fast EMA, slow EMA, bar-close confirmation.
2 Confluence Filter: enable the gate, minimum score (out of 8).
3 Gold Symbol Guard: gold-only mode, extra gold ticker keyword.

Alerts
1. Gold Long Entry - bullish crossover passed the score and all gold gates
2. Gold Short Entry - bearish equivalent
3. Any Gold Entry - either direction
4. Strong Bull Bias - bull score crossed above 70%
5. Strong Bear Bias - bear score crossed above 70%
6. DXY Inverse Link Active - gold / DXY correlation fell back below the threshold (new)
7. DXY Inverse Link Lost - correlation rose above the threshold, DXY factor paused (new)
8. Gold Session Opened - the London or New York window just started (new)
9. ADR Exhausted - today's range reached the block threshold (new)
10. Signal Blocked by Gold Filter - a qualifying crossover was removed by a gold gate (new)
All alerts include {{ticker}}, {{close}} and {{interval}} placeholders.
Limitations & Disclaimer
- EMA crossovers lag by nature. The gates reduce whipsaws but cannot remove them; ranging days will still produce crossovers that fail.
- The DXY factor depends on the dollar-index symbol being available to your account and having data on the chart timeframe. When DXY is closed (weekends, holidays) the last known value is carried forward.
- The correlation gate uses a rolling window; at the very start of the chart history it is empty and the DXY factor scores nothing.
- The DXY factor is scored, not gated. At the default minimum of 5 the signals are a subset of the general-market Sniper engine; if you lower the minimum to 4, a cross with only three of the original factors plus the DXY point can qualify.
- A crossover that is blocked by a gold gate still ends the opposite open trade, exactly as an unblocked crossover would. Only the new entry is withheld.
- Session windows are wall-clock filters. Holidays, daylight-saving changes and broker-specific hours can shift when gold is actually liquid.
- ADR is a statistical average. Gold can and does exceed it on news days; the filter deliberately stays out of those late moves.
- The secondary-timeframe RSI uses request.security and its current-bar value can change until that timeframe's bar closes.
- Entry, stop and target lines are visual references only. The indicator does not place or manage trades.
- Past performance of any signal system does not guarantee future results. This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only and is not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and do your own analysis before trading.

Coasyn Sovereign Futures OICoasyn Sovereign Futures OI is a macro participation reference for FX traders.
The indicator automatically reads the base and quote currencies of the current FX pair, maps each currency to a related sovereign futures market, and then compares changes in daily open interest across two configurable lookback periods.
It is designed to help answer a simple question:
Is participation in the related sovereign futures market building, fading, or mixed?
How it works
The indicator reads the current FX pair automatically.
For example:
EUR/USD
The indicator maps:
EUR → Euro Bund futures
USD → US 10Y futures
It then requests the related daily open-interest series and measures the percentage change over:
a short lookback
a long lookback
The default settings are:
Short OI Change — 1 day
Long OI Change — 5 days
Both values are editable.
Reading the panel
The panel displays one row for the base currency and one row for the quote currency.
Each row includes:
Currency
The base or quote currency from the current FX pair.
Future
The sovereign futures market used as the participation reference.
OI
The latest available daily open-interest value.
Short / Long Change
The percentage change in open interest over the two configured lookback periods.
State
A simplified description of the current open-interest relationship.
State definitions
BUILDING
Open interest increased over both the short and long lookback periods.
This means participation is expanding in the referenced futures market.
It does not automatically mean the currency is bullish.
FADING
Open interest decreased over both lookback periods.
This means participation is contracting in the referenced futures market.
It does not automatically mean the currency is bearish.
MIXED
The short- and long-term open-interest changes disagree.
For example, short-term participation may be increasing while the longer lookback is still declining.
LIMITED
The required market exists, but there is not enough usable historical data to calculate both lookback changes.
NO OI DATA
A valid open-interest series is not currently available for the requested market.
The indicator returns N/A rather than creating or estimating missing data.
Supported currency mapping
The current version includes sovereign futures references for:
USD
EUR
GBP
AUD
CAD
JPY
CHF
CHF includes an alternate FX-futures open-interest source when the primary sovereign reference is unavailable.
Example interpretation
Suppose EUR/USD displays:
EUR — BUILDING
USD — FADING
This does not mean the indicator is telling the trader to buy EUR/USD.
It means participation in the selected EUR sovereign futures reference is expanding while participation in the USD reference is contracting over the configured lookback windows.
That information can then be combined with the trader's own macro, rates, price-action, and risk framework.
Panel controls
The panel can be positioned in:
Top Right
Top Left
Bottom Right
Bottom Left
The entire panel can also be disabled from the indicator settings.
Data availability
Coasyn Sovereign Futures OI requests futures open-interest data available through TradingView.
Availability can depend on:
exchange coverage
symbol availability
TradingView data permissions
the specific market being requested
If data is unavailable, the indicator displays N/A or NO OI DATA.
Important
This indicator does not provide:
buy or sell signals
currency direction forecasts
trade entries
targets
stop placement
position sizing
automated execution
Open interest measures participation, not direction.
The purpose of the tool is to provide another layer of sovereign-market context for traders working with FX pairs.

Coasyn Directional Order BlocksCoasyn Directional Order Blocks
Coasyn Directional Order Blocks identifies directional supply and demand zones created around market-structure breaks with displacement.
The indicator is designed to help traders visualize potential areas of prior institutional participation without turning those zones into automatic trade signals.
It tracks both:
Demand Order Blocks
Supply Order Blocks
Each block remains active until it is touched, invalidated, or removed according to the settings selected by the user.
How blocks are created
A new block requires two things:
1. A structure break
The indicator tracks recent swing highs and swing lows using the configured Structure Swing Length.
A demand block requires price to break above the most recent tracked swing high.
A supply block requires price to break below the most recent tracked swing low.
2. Displacement
The structure break must occur with a directional displacement candle.
The displacement filter uses:
ATR-relative candle range
minimum candle-body percentage
bullish direction for demand
bearish direction for supply
This helps prevent every minor structure break from automatically becoming an order block.
Origin candle
After a valid structure break, the indicator searches backward for the opposing candle that preceded the move.
For a Demand Block, it searches for a bearish candle.
For a Supply Block, it searches for a bullish candle.
The number of candles searched is controlled by:
Origin Candle Search
Order Block Zone
The Order Block Zone setting determines how much of the origin candle becomes the displayed zone.
Available options:
Full Candle
Uses the full high-to-low range of the origin candle.
Body
Uses only the candle body.
Refined
Uses a directional refinement of the candle range.
For demand, the refined zone uses the candle low through the top of the body.
For supply, the refined zone uses the bottom of the body through the candle high.
Block states
Each block begins as a fresh active zone.
The indicator then tracks whether price returns to the zone.
The Touched When setting controls when a block is considered touched.
Available options:
First Contact
The block becomes touched as soon as price reaches the outer edge of the zone.
50% Reached
Price must reach the midpoint of the order block.
Full Fill
Price must travel completely through the block to its opposite boundary.
Keeping touched blocks
Enable:
Keep Touched Blocks
to leave previously contacted blocks visible.
Touched blocks are displayed with increased transparency so they can be visually distinguished from fresh zones.
Disable this setting if you want a block removed after its first qualifying interaction.
Invalidation
The Invalidated When setting determines when a block is considered structurally broken.
Available options:
Close Beyond
A candle must close beyond the invalidation boundary.
Wick Beyond
Any wick through the invalidation boundary is sufficient.
For demand blocks, invalidation occurs below the zone.
For supply blocks, invalidation occurs above the zone.
Keeping invalidated blocks
Enable:
Keep Invalidated Blocks
if you want failed blocks to remain visible for review.
Invalidated blocks are converted to a neutral gray appearance and stop extending forward.
When disabled, invalidated blocks are removed from the chart.
Maximum active blocks
Maximum Active Blocks per Direction controls how many demand and supply zones can remain active at once.
Older blocks are removed automatically when the configured maximum is exceeded.
Demand and supply limits are tracked independently.
Forward projection
Forward Projection determines how far active order blocks extend to the right of the chart.
The zone continues updating forward while it remains active.
50% midline
Enable:
Show 50% Line
to display the midpoint of each order block.
This provides a visual reference for traders who use partial mitigation or midpoint interaction as part of their own process.
Structure break markers
Enable:
Show Structure Break Marker
to mark the candle where a valid displacement-driven structure break created a new order block.
These markers are optional and are disabled by default.
Labels
Enable:
Show Demand / Supply Label
to display the directional identity of each block directly inside the zone.
Colors
Demand and supply colors are fully configurable.
Users can also adjust:
fresh-block transparency
touched-block transparency
invalidated-block color
Alerts
The indicator includes alert conditions for:
New Demand Order Block
New Supply Order Block
Demand Order Block Entered
Supply Order Block Entered
Demand Order Block Invalidated
Supply Order Block Invalidated
Alerts must still be configured by the user through TradingView's alert system.
Example workflow
A trader may use the indicator to identify a demand zone created after a strong bullish displacement through prior structure.
The trader can then observe whether price:
remains away from the block → returns to the block → reaches the selected touch threshold → holds or invalidates
The indicator reports the state of the zone.
It does not determine whether the trader should enter.
Important
Coasyn Directional Order Blocks is a market-structure visualization tool.
It does not provide:
automatic entries
buy or sell recommendations
targets
stop placement
position sizing
automated execution
Order blocks should be interpreted within the trader's own market structure, risk, and strategy framework.
A displayed block is a reference zone, not a guarantee of future support, resistance, reversal, or continuation.
