Trend Channel Navigator [MQLSoftware]Trend Channel Navigator maps price action as a chain of trend phases, each drawn as its own channel: phase boundaries come from an adaptive swing scanner whose window breathes with the volatility regime, each channel side sits at a quantile of its own deviations instead of a symmetric envelope, a recency-weighted regression tracks the momentum slice inside the active phase, and an original Navigator Entry Score condenses channel position, momentum quality and higher-timeframe agreement into a single 0-100 confluence read - shown live on the panel together with its full component breakdown.
This is a visual analytical tool for chart reading and market-structure context. It does not execute trades and does not provide financial advice.
Key Features
Adaptive phase detection: the swing window scales with the volatility regime, so phases are recognized sooner in a heating market and noise swings are ignored in quiet tape
Asymmetric quantile channels: each side's width is a percentile of that side's own deviations, so one spike no longer inflates the whole envelope and the top and bottom bands are independent
Recency-weighted Micro regression: the newest bars dominate the fit, so the momentum read turns earlier than a uniform regression; a weighted R-squared gate hides it when the fit is poor
Navigator Entry Score: a 0-100 confluence read built from four weighted components - macro/micro alignment, channel position, regression fit quality and dual-timeframe agreement
Live Score Breakdown on the panel: every component's points are shown next to its budget, so the number is never a black box
Scored markers: every structural event (BREAK, PULLBACK, CONTINUATION) prints the matching side of the live score and passes a configurable minimum, and the dedicated ENTRY marker fires when the score crosses your threshold
Pullback Zone and Quarter Grid: the favorable quarter of the active channel is shaded and faint quarter lines make Channel Position readable on the chart itself
Self-explanatory chart language: markers and labels are written in plain words, every marker and pivot carries an explanatory tooltip, and a Compact mode switches to short codes
Non-Repaint Mode on by default: markers fire only on confirmed bars and the active structure is built from closed-bar data
Core Concept
Most channel tools on TradingView take one of two approaches. They fit a single regression channel over the latest N bars, or they draw one channel from manually chosen anchors. Both force all recent history into one line fit, so the chart cannot show where one trend phase ended and the next began.
Trend Channel Navigator treats price as a sequence of structural phases. The phase idea started in our earlier open-source script Anchored Trend Channels; Navigator rebuilds the engine around five mechanisms of its own - the detection, the channel geometry, the momentum fit, the score and its on-chart language all differ from that script.
1. Adaptive phase detection. Swings are found by a strict-extremum scan whose window is re-derived on every bar from the volatility regime - the ratio of short-term ATR to its long baseline. When the market heats up the window contracts and new phases are recognized sooner; in quiet tape it dilates and noise swings never become phases. Builtin pivot functions take a fixed window, which is why the scanner is written by hand. A swing is confirmed a window's worth of bars after it forms, exactly like a classic pivot. When a later swing confirms beyond a phase's endpoint in the same direction - a higher high in an up-phase, a lower low in a down-phase - the phase extends to that new confirmed swing instead of leaving an orphan stretch, so the chain of channels stays continuous.
2. Asymmetric quantile channels. The channel basis is the straight line between the two anchoring swings, which keeps clean joints between phases. The width is not a symmetric envelope: highs above the basis set the top band and lows below it set the bottom band, each at a configurable percentile of its own deviations with an ATR floor. A single spike no longer inflates the whole channel, and a phase that leans on one side of its basis shows that lean honestly.
3. Recency-weighted Micro regression. The inner channel is a weighted least-squares fit in which each bar back weighs a fixed fraction of the previous one, so the newest bars dominate and the momentum read turns earlier than a uniform regression of the same length. The fit quality gate and the residual band use the same weights. Setting the decay to 1.00 reproduces the classic unweighted fit.
4. Navigator Entry Score with a live breakdown. The score is computed independently for the long side and the short side on every bar. Macro and micro direction agreement contributes 35 points, channel position contributes up to 20 and rewards proximity to the favorable edge rather than chasing the far edge, the micro fit quality contributes up to 20, and each of the two higher-timeframe rows contributes 12.5 when it agrees with the side being scored. The panel shows each component's points next to its budget on every bar, so the number is never a black box. An ENTRY marker fires once when the winning side crosses the threshold on a confirmed bar, with its own cooldown; an optional strict mode caps the score below the threshold unless both higher timeframes agree. The other marker families pass through the same score: BREAK, PULLBACK and CONTINUATION print the matching side's value and respect a configurable minimum, so every event on the chart is a scored event.
5. Pullback Zone and Quarter Grid. The score's channel-position component is made visible: the favorable quarter of the active channel is shaded - near the base in an up phase, near the top in a down phase - and faint quarter lines split the channel into the quarters the Channel Position row reads. The channel does not only show where price has been; it shows where the next trend-side read matters.
Anatomy of the Display
Macro channels are the large structures between confirmed swing points. Historical phases are dimmed and frozen; the active phase is bright, carries the shaded Pullback Zone, and extends forward with a dashed projection.
The Micro channel is the smaller regression channel inside the active phase, labelled "Momentum" with its current direction. It shows whether the current momentum slice agrees with the larger phase or is pulling back against it.
Markers name their event in plain words and print the matching side of the live score. BREAK marks a confirmed close beyond the active channel boundary, PULLBACK marks a touch of the favorable edge in trend direction, CONTINUATION marks a micro breakout aligned with the macro phase early in the segment, and ENTRY belongs to the score engine and fires on a threshold cross. Every marker carries a tooltip that explains the event.
The status badge shows the Trend Bias of the recent phases and the live Entry Score with its stronger side.
The panel is the main readout: Trend Bias, active segment angle, direction and age, the chain of recent phases, Channel Position, anchor pivot, channel width in ATR, the last fired event, micro regression metrics, the two higher-timeframe rows, and the live Entry Score against your threshold - followed by the Score Breakdown, where each of the four components shows its current points against its budget.
Multi-Timeframe Panel
The two higher-timeframe rows are selected automatically from a standard ladder based on the chart timeframe, for example 240 and 1D on a 1-hour chart. Higher-timeframe values are requested without lookahead and read with a one-bar offset, so only closed higher-timeframe bars are used. Their agreement is not only displayed - it feeds the Entry Score directly.
Notes on Repainting
Historical channels do not repaint intrabar. They are anchored to confirmed swings, and one honest exception is stated openly: when a same-direction swing confirms beyond a phase's endpoint, the completed channel extends to that new confirmed swing and its width is recomputed - on closed data only, at confirmation time. It never moves otherwise.
Swing detection carries an inherent delay equal to the current window: a swing becomes visible only after that many bars close past it. With the Adaptive default the window typically resolves to 11-26 bars, tighter in heating markets. This confirmation contract is the same as for all pivot-based tools.
Non-Repaint Mode is on by default: the active channel and the micro regression are computed from closed-bar data, so the visible structure does not wobble intrabar. Turning it off lets the active structure update on the live bar for responsiveness; this affects display only.
All markers are gated by confirmed bars. ENTRY, BREAK, PULLBACK and CONTINUATION can only appear on the close of their bar and cannot appear or vanish intrabar.
Higher-timeframe rows use the standard non-repainting pattern: no lookahead, one-bar offset, closed bars only.
The panel and the live score update within the bar. This is display only; no marker or alert is created from an unconfirmed bar.
Typical Analysis Workflow
A common analytical workflow may include:
Reading Trend Bias and the active phase direction first to understand the current structure
Checking Channel Position to see whether price is near the favorable edge or already stretched toward the far edge
Waiting for price to reach the shaded Pullback Zone in the direction of the active phase
Using the Momentum channel and its fit quality to judge whether the current slice is clean enough to trust
Checking the higher-timeframe rows for agreement
Treating the Entry Score as the final confluence read rather than a standalone trade command, and raising the threshold when you want fewer, higher-confluence marks
Configuration
Pivot Sensitivity - Adaptive (default) scales the swing window with the volatility regime; the fixed presets from Short to Very Long and Custom Lookback pin it instead.
Min Segment Size (x ATR) / Min Segment Length (bars) - quality filters that skip noise phases.
Channel Width Multiplier / Min Band Width (x ATR) - how tightly the channel wraps price and the floor under each side's width.
Channel Quantile (%) - the percentile each side's width sits at. 100 reproduces a full envelope; lower values ignore single spikes and hug price tighter.
Max Segments Stored - how many historical phases stay on the chart.
Regression Length / Std Dev Multiplier / Min R2 to Show - the Micro channel window, its band width and its fit gate.
Recency Weight (decay) - how strongly the newest bars dominate the Micro fit. 1.00 = classic unweighted regression.
Segment Break / Macro Pullback / Micro Continuation Signals - enable each marker family independently. Signal Cooldown - minimum bars between same-family markers.
Min Signal Score - structural markers only fire when the matching side of the live score is at least this value. 0 = raw structural events.
Entry Score Threshold - the confluence level an ENTRY marker requires. Require MTF Confluence - strict mode: both higher timeframes must agree for the score to reach the threshold. Entry Cooldown - minimum bars between ENTRY markers.
Non-Repaint Mode - closed-bar data for the active structure (default on).
Line Width / Neon Glow - core line width and the layered glow tier (Off, Subtle, Balanced, Bright).
Show Channel Fills / Show Basis / Show MTF Mini-Screener - display toggles.
Marker Style - Descriptive markers in plain words, or Compact short codes.
Highlight Pullback Zone / Show Quarter Grid - the shaded favorable quarter of the active channel and the faint quarter lines.
Bull / Bear Colors - recolor the whole structure. Defaults are a dark-theme identity; pick deeper tones for light charts.
Markets and Timeframes
The indicator can be applied across multiple markets and timeframes:
Forex
Stocks and Indices
Commodities
Cryptocurrencies
Channel widths and segment filters are scaled in ATR rather than in fixed price units, so behaviour stays consistent across instruments. Defaults are tuned for 1H-4H charts; Pivot Sensitivity is the lever for faster or slower timeframes.
Alerts
Segment Direction Changed - the active phase flipped direction
Segment Break - a confirmed close beyond the active channel boundary
Micro Continuation - a micro breakout aligned with the macro phase
Entry Score - the score crossed your threshold on a confirmed bar
All alerts evaluate on confirmed bars and respect the same cooldowns and score gates as the chart markers, so an alert fires only when the corresponding marker event fires.

YURI Breadth Regime EngineAn index is capitalisation weighted. A handful of large members can hold the whole thing up while most of the list quietly breaks down underneath, and the price chart will not show you that, because the price chart is the weighted number. The count is a different number. This reads the count and tells you when the two have stopped agreeing.
THE TWO THINGS IT MEASURES
The level is how much of the list is participating right now. The default series is the percentage of S&P 500 members trading above their own 200 day moving average. Four bands: washout below 20, weak below 40, neutral below 60, strong above it. Below 20 has historically been forced selling rather than opinion, because most of the list is under its own annual average at the same time. Those readings cluster near the end of declines rather than the start. That is an observation about where they have occurred, not an instruction to buy them.
The participation read is a different question: is the index outrunning its own members. That is a question about speed rather than position, so each series measures how far it has moved over the same window and that move gets ranked against its own history. Percent for the index, because a 50 point move meant something different at 2000 than it does at 7000. Points for breadth, which is already bounded at 0 and 100. The gap between the two ranks is what gets read, and ranking is what makes a price and a percentage comparable at all.
Index in the top of its own distribution of moves while breadth is in the bottom of hers is thinning. Fewer names are carrying it. Breadth moving up harder than the index is broadening, and it is what the back end of a washout looks like.
Ranking positions instead of moves is the obvious way to build this and it does not work, which is worth saying because the failure is instructive. An index drifts upward, so its position rank pins at the top of its range for months at a time. That builds a permanent bias into the gap, and it quietly collapses the whole read into "breadth is low", which is something the level already tells you. A move measured over a fixed window is centred on its own history by construction, so it has neither problem.
WHY BOTH, AND NOT JUST THE LEVEL
The level tells you where participation is. It does not tell you which way it is going relative to price, so a level read is equally happy at 55 on the way up and 55 on the way down. The participation read tells you the direction of the disagreement but has no sense of absolute position, so it will call thinning at 75 and at 35 without distinguishing between them, and those are very different markets. Neither one is sufficient. Read together, the level says how much of the list is in, and the rank gap says whether that number is keeping up.
THE PART THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS
A new participation state has to hold for several bars before it replaces the current one.
Drop that and this becomes a threshold that flips every time the rank gap wobbles across the line, and within a month you have learned to ignore it. The hold period is the difference between a regime read and a flicker. It is exposed in the inputs. One bar makes it reactive and noisy, ten makes it stubborn and late, and there is no correct answer, only the one that matches how often you are willing to change your mind.
READING IT
The line is the breadth percentage, coloured by band. Red zone is washout, teal zone is strong.
Orange triangle near the top of the pane: participation just turned thinning.
Teal triangle near the bottom: participation just turned broadening.
The table carries the live reading, the current band, how many bars breadth has been sitting under the washout line, and the participation state with the raw rank gap in brackets. That bracketed number is worth watching on its own, because it moves before the label does. A gap climbing through the high twenties tells you the state is about to be named while the hold period is still counting.
SETTINGS THAT MATTER
The breadth series and the index have to be the same index or the comparison is noise. The default pairing is INDEX:S5TH against SP:SPX. If you switch to a Nasdaq or Russell breadth series, switch the index with it.
The move window sets what counts as "has moved". Shorter makes the participation read sensitive to swings inside a trend, longer makes it a read on the trend itself. The ranking window sets how much history each move is judged against, and nothing reads at all until both windows have filled.
The thinning and broadening gaps are separate inputs because there is no reason the two sides have to share a number. Left equal at 30 they fire about as often as each other, so if you want one side more sensitive, move that one and leave the other alone.
WHAT IT WILL NOT DO
It does not generate entries or exits, and it is not a forecast. It describes the state of participation as of the current bar, and what you do with that is your method, not mine.
The breadth series prints once a day and has no intraday history. On an intraday chart the daily value is pulled instead, so the line steps rather than curves and the current day's value keeps moving until the close. It settles when the day does. Daily or higher is where this is meant to run.
If the external series is unavailable on your plan or your symbol, the pane turns orange and the table reads NA rather than plotting a flat line that could be mistaken for a real value.
Breadth is a coincident measure of participation, not a leading one. Washouts are identifiable in hindsight far more cleanly than they are while you are standing in one, and a thinning read can persist for months in a market that keeps going up. This is context for a decision, not the decision.

Suggested keywords: day type, regime, opening range, session, intraday, VWAP
---
Most intraday losses I have looked at come down to running the wrong playbook for
the day. Buying pullbacks on a session that never trends. Fading the edges on one
that never comes back. By the time the character of a session is obvious on the
chart, the move it was going to give you has usually already happened.
This labels the session while it is still forming.
**How it decides**
Five checks vote on direction, and each one covers a blind spot in the others.
1. Which side of session VWAP price is trading
2. Whether VWAP itself is rising or falling, measured across the last 75 minutes
3. Whether the opening range has broken
4. Where the higher timeframe trend points, hourly close against its 20 period SMA by default
5. Whether price has cleared the prior day's high or low
Four votes out of five makes it a trend day. A gap larger than 2 percent that
trades back through the session open gets labelled a gap fill. Price still sitting
inside the opening range well after the open, with a quarter of the range width
allowed either side, is a range day.
Each of those five is weak on its own. VWAP position whipsaws in chop, the
opening range fails on gap mornings, and a higher timeframe read is always late by
construction. Prior day levels tell you nothing at all about today. What makes the
combination worth more than its parts is that they fail in different places, so
requiring agreement across all five stops any single one of them from driving the
label.
**The part that actually matters**
A new label has to hold for 25 minutes before it replaces the current one.
Drop that layer and this becomes every other conditional colouring script. Price
wicks back through VWAP, the label flips, it flips back ten minutes later, and
within a week you have learned to ignore it. The hold period is what makes the
output stable enough to be worth reading. Set it to 10 minutes if you want it
reactive, an hour if you want it stubborn.
**Reading it**
TREND UP / TREND DOWN: four or more of the five checks agree on direction.
RANGE: price is still inside the opening range plus a quarter of its width either
side, well after the open.
GAP FILL UP / GAP FILL DOWN: the session gapped hard and has since traded back
through its own open.
MIXED: the opening range has formed but nothing has agreed strongly enough to name
the day. Days that stay here are the ones worth trading small.
OPENING: the opening range has not finished forming and there is not enough
information yet.
The table carries the live vote count on both sides. Three votes up and rising
tells you more than the label does, because it shows a regime change building
before the hold period lets it commit. What you do with any of this is your
method, not mine. The label is an input to that decision.
**What it will not do**
It describes what has already happened. It is a classification of the session so
far, and it will not tell you where to enter or where to get out.
The first 15 minutes are always OPENING, by construction. Once the session ends
the day keeps whatever label it closed with until the next one starts, because
judging a finished day against a frozen VWAP would be meaningless.
If you set the context timeframe below your chart timeframe, that vote gets
dropped instead of being computed on partial bars. The table tells you when this
happens.
It assumes an instrument with a defined regular session. On 24 hour markets the
session logic loses most of its meaning.
Time thresholds are set in minutes and converted to bars internally, so the same
defaults behave the same way on a 1, 5 or 15 minute chart. It was built for US
equity index sessions. Every threshold is exposed in the inputs, including the
vote count needed for a trend day, so you can tighten or loosen it for whatever
you trade.

SBP Structural State DetectorSBP Structural State Detector is a rule-based analytical indicator designed to identify confirmed changes between bullish and bearish structural states. It does not attempt to predict exact market tops or bottoms. Instead, it evaluates whether current price behaviour provides sufficient evidence that the prevailing directional state has changed.
The script uses one integrated calculation process. It does not require another indicator, external script, higher-timeframe data source, or manual confirmation tool.
Core Method
The calculation begins by measuring price-path efficiency. This compares the net movement of price with the total distance travelled over the same period. A more direct price path receives a higher efficiency reading, while irregular movement produces a lower reading.
That efficiency value controls the response rate of an internal structural centre. The centre adapts more quickly when price movement is directional and more slowly when movement is noisy. The centre is used internally and is not drawn as a separate trendline.
A volatility-normalized structural band is then calculated around the internal centre. Its width expands when price behaviour is less efficient and contracts when movement becomes more orderly. This makes the visible band responsive to both volatility and market noise rather than relying on a fixed price distance.
Directional qualification uses five related observations:
1. Price location relative to the internal structural centre.
2. Normalized displacement from that centre.
3. Direction of the structural slope.
4. Volatility-normalized momentum.
5. Candle direction, body expansion, and closing location.
A bullish or bearish candidate must receive the required level of evidence and must exceed the evidence supporting the opposite direction. The condition must then persist before it can reach the final event process.
Signal Behaviour
All events are evaluated on confirmed bars.
The final event process enforces strict alternation. After a BUY event, another BUY cannot be accepted until a SALE event has occurred. After a SALE event, another SALE cannot be accepted until a BUY event has occurred.
The Minimum Signal Gap setting specifies the minimum number of confirmed bars required between accepted opposite-direction events. It is a spacing control and does not create same-direction re-entry signals.
Chart Display
The Structural State Band changes colour according to the last accepted directional state:
Green indicates that the last accepted event was bullish.
Red indicates that the last accepted event was bearish.
Gray indicates that no directional event has yet been accepted in the loaded chart history.
BUY and SALE triangles identify accepted state changes. They are placed outside the candle using an ATR-based visual distance so that the markers remain readable without changing their event bar.
Inputs
Minimum Signal Gap: Controls the minimum number of confirmed bars between accepted opposite-direction events.
Show Structural State Band: Shows or hides the volatility- and noise-adjusted state band.
Show BUY / SALE: Shows or hides accepted event markers.
State Band Transparency: Controls only the visual transparency of the band and does not affect calculations or events.
Alerts
Two alert conditions are available:
SBP Structural BUY Event
SBP Structural SALE Event
Alerts should be created through TradingView's Create Alert dialog. Alert behaviour follows confirmed BUY and SALE events generated by the script.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to a standard candlestick or bar chart. Observe the band colour together with accepted BUY and SALE events. The indicator is intended to provide a consistent structural-state reference that can be considered alongside the user's own entry, exit, position-sizing, and risk-management rules.
Limitations
This is an indicator, not a strategy. It does not place orders, calculate position size, provide stop-loss levels, provide profit targets, or report backtested performance.
Signals are based on historical and current confirmed price data. Confirmation introduces delay, especially when price changes direction rapidly. Sideways or volatile markets can produce alternating state changes. The Minimum Signal Gap can reduce closely spaced events but cannot eliminate false or late signals.
The indicator does not guarantee accuracy, profitability, or future market direction. Past chart behaviour does not ensure similar future behaviour. Use standard charts for signal interpretation and conduct independent analysis before making trading decisions. Indikator
Untested Levels - PD Highs, Lows & GapsUntested Levels automatically maps the session prices futures traders commonly mark by hand: previous regular-session highs and lows, current and prior overnight highs and lows, previous closes and unfilled gap levels, plus the all-time high.
The purpose is simple: spend less time redrawing levels every morning and keep important price context visible as the market develops. Each line begins where its high, low, or close was established and is labeled with both its name and exact price.
The indicator is designed around the session structure of CME equity index futures, particularly Nasdaq futures (NQ/MNQ) and S&P 500 futures (ES/MES). Its session times are fully configurable, so the same framework can be used with other futures markets whose trading sessions are defined appropriately.
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT
Many session-level tools either show only the most recent day or remove a level as soon as price reaches it. This indicator maintains a structured history and treats a level's first breach separately from its display timing.
By default, a prior level that is breached during the current trading day remains visible until the day rolls over. This preserves the line for the rest of the session, allowing you to see whether a former high or low is subsequently respected, rejected, or used as support or resistance. If you prefer immediate removal, the "Hide breached levels immediately" setting is available.
Regular-session highs and lows, overnight highs and lows, and prior closes each have their own lookback setting. You can retain more history for one class of level without overcrowding the chart with every other class.
The calculations are session-defined rather than chart-defined. They are built from the symbol's extended-hours feed, so switching the chart between Regular Trading Hours and Electronic Trading Hours does not change the underlying levels. An RTH chart can therefore remain visually clean while still displaying the overnight high and low.
LEVEL NAMES
The numbering follows trading days, not calendar dates. The overnight session belongs to the same trading day as the regular session that follows it.
YD High / YD Low
Yesterday's regular-session high and low.
PD 2 High / PD 2 Low
The regular-session high and low from two trading days ago.
PD 3, PD 4, and later numbers continue in the same way.
YD is effectively the first prior trading day, so there is no separate
"PD 1 High" or "PD 1 Low" label.
ON High / ON Low
The current trading day's overnight-session high and low.
These update while the overnight session is forming.
ETH 1 High / ETH 1 Low
The overnight high and low associated with yesterday's regular session.
ETH 1 therefore pairs with YD.
ETH 2 High / ETH 2 Low
The overnight high and low from two trading days ago.
ETH 2 pairs with PD 2, ETH 3 pairs with PD 3, and so on.
YD Close
The most recent configured session close. This level always displays when
previous-close levels are enabled.
PD 2 Close, PD 3 Close, etc.
Older configured closes that remain unfilled by a later regular session.
These levels identify still-open historical gaps within the selected
gap lookback.
ATH
The all-time high. If a displayed high is also the all-time high, its
normal label receives an ATH prefix. If the all-time high is not one of
the displayed session levels, a separate ATH line is drawn.
SESSION CALCULATIONS
Each configured trading day is divided into three parts:
Overnight session:
Trading-day start to the regular-session open.
This produces ON and ETH highs and lows.
Regular session:
Regular-session open to regular-session close.
This produces YD and PD highs and lows.
Post-close tail:
Regular-session close to the next trading-day start.
This does not create a new session high or low, but its price action can
breach an existing level.
The default times are expressed in Pacific Time:
Trading day starts: 15:00
Regular session opens: 06:30
Regular session closes: 13:15
Close candle opens: 13:55
The time zone and all session boundaries can be changed in the settings. The "Close candle" input identifies the opening time of the candle whose closing price will be stored. If that exact candle is unavailable, the script uses the last available candle before the selected time.
WHAT COUNTS AS UNTESTED
A prior regular-session high remains unbreached until later price trades above it. A prior regular-session low remains unbreached until later price trades below it. The calculation considers price action after the level's own regular session, including that day's post-close tail, later overnight sessions, and later regular sessions.
An overnight high or low is evaluated only against price action after that overnight session ends. This prevents the price action that created the level from also invalidating it.
By default, an exact touch does not count as a breach; price must trade through the level. Enable "Exact touch counts as a breach" if you want a touch to invalidate it.
YD High, YD Low, ON High, ON Low, and YD Close remain available as current reference levels even when tested. Older PD and ETH levels are filtered according to their breach status and your selected display timing.
PREVIOUS CLOSES AND GAPS
YD Close always shows when enabled. Older closes appear as PD n Close only while their gap remains unfilled.
Gap status is based on later regular-session price action. Overnight and post-close-tail activity do not fill a close gap. This keeps the gap logic aligned with the cash-session context rather than allowing overnight movement alone to remove the level.
An alert condition is included for price touching or crossing YD Close during the regular session.
ALL-TIME HIGH
The ATH calculation combines available chart history, extended-hours intraday history, and extended daily history. If the ATH matches a displayed high, that label is prefixed with ATH and emphasized. Otherwise, the indicator creates a standalone ATH level so the price remains marked even when it falls outside the selected session lookbacks.
LOOKBACKS AND DISPLAY CONTROLS
The indicator provides independent controls for:
• Regular-session high/low lookback
• Overnight high/low lookback
• Prior-close and gap lookback
• YD, PD, ON, ETH, close, ATH, and label visibility
• Immediate or end-of-day removal of breached levels
• Exact-touch breach behavior
• Session times and time zone
• Colors, line style, line width, label size, and label offset
Separating the lookbacks makes it possible to retain a broad history of untested highs and lows while using a shorter window for overnight levels or gaps.
RTH AND ETH CHART BEHAVIOR
All session values are requested from extended-hours data, so the same calculated levels appear whether the chart is displaying RTH or ETH candles.
TradingView scripts only execute when the chart receives a bar. An RTH chart therefore cannot update live while its chart session is closed. To handle this, "Roll levels at the regular session close" is enabled by default. It advances the labels and removes levels breached during the completed day on the final regular-session bar, leaving a frozen RTH chart in the correct end-of-session state. The extended-hours feed completes the normal rollover when the next chart session begins.
For live overnight development of ON High and ON Low, use an ETH chart.
HOW TO USE THE LEVELS
These lines identify historically significant prices; they do not predict which level price will visit or how price will react when it gets there. Traders may use them as context for targets, breakouts, failed breakouts, support/resistance flips, gap fills, and confluence with their own trade setups.
The retained-line behavior is especially useful after a breach: instead of losing the reference immediately, you can observe whether price returns to the level and changes its behavior around it later in the same session.
LIMITATIONS
This indicator is intended for intraday charts. Its session calculations use an extended-hours intraday feed, set to five minutes by default. Available lookback depth depends on the amount of intraday history TradingView provides for the symbol and the user's plan.
Session defaults are designed for the stated CME equity index futures workflow. Confirm and adjust the time zone, trading-day start, regular-session boundaries, and close-candle time before using the indicator on another market.
Holiday schedules, shortened sessions, missing bars, exchange data differences, and delayed feeds can affect the levels. Use standard price charts and verify the settings for the instrument being traded.
Untested Levels is a charting and market-context tool, not a trading system. It does not provide entries, exits, profit targets, or guarantees of future support or resistance. Indikator
Geometric Matrix Intelligence [GMI]Description:
Welcome to the Geometric Matrix Intelligence + Market Structure indicator. This script is a hybrid trading tool that merges advanced structural concepts (BOS/CHoCH) with geometric probability levels and volatility-based trend analysis.
Core Features:
Geometric Probability Levels (GMI):
When a shift in trend direction is detected based on our custom ATR volatility filter, the script automatically projects forward geometric expansion levels (Φ1 to Φ4). These levels are highly versatile:
Reversal Zones: Price often reacts directly at these mathematical levels, creating excellent pivot or bounce areas.
Take Profit (TP) Targets: Once you are in a trade, these expansion lines provide objective, dynamic targets to scale out or close your positions.
Market Structure (BOS / CHoCH):
Automatically identifies structural pivot highs and lows using a fractal length (defaulted to 12).
Plots pending "Candidate" structure lines (in blue by default).
Confirms Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH) when the price breaks these pivots, updating dynamically on your chart.
VWAP Integration:
Includes a built-in Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) as a primary institutional baseline to help gauge overall intraday or multi-day bias. (Enabled by default).
Interactive Trend Dashboard & Shading:
An on-chart dashboard tracks the immediate trend status, the initial trigger entry price, maximum projected targets (Φ4), and current ATR volatility.
Visual trend shading allows for immediate macro-trend recognition.
How to Use:
Watch for Market Structure shifts (BOS/CHoCH) aligning with the GMI generated levels.
Use the projected Φ levels as primary take profit targets when trading a newly confirmed structural break.
Monitor the VWAP to ensure your structural trades are on the correct side of the institutional volume average.

GProf - Break & RetestGProf - Break & Retest
═══════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
This indicator detects one complete sequence: consolidation against a key level, a breakout WITH momentum, and the retest of the broken level. It watches the levels for you, stays silent through weak drifts and fakeouts, and speaks at the two moments that matter — when a level breaks with force, and when price comes back to test it.
The core idea is polarity: a level that held for hours gets violated with conviction, and the trade is the market returning to confirm the flip — old support rejecting as new resistance, or old resistance holding as new support.
───────────────────────────────────────────
TWO CONSOLIDATION PATTERNS, ONE CONFIRMATION GATE
PATTERN 1 — TIGHT COIL: a short compressed window pressing directly against the level, with zero closes beyond it. Price knocking on a door.
PATTERN 2 — RANGE-SIT: price spends an extended window entirely on one side of the level, the whole range within a capped height of it, then breaks the boundary. This captures the classic premarket-range breakout or breakdown, where the premarket high or low is the boundary of the consolidation itself.
Either pattern must then be CONFIRMED. A break with no force is fully silent — no label, no alert:
• MOMENTUM CANDLE — the breakout (or a continuation candle within a few bars) has a body of at least a set percentage of the daily ATR; OR
• QUALIFIED FVG — a Fair Value Gap of a set minimum size prints within the confirmation window.
Whichever arrives first arms the setup, and the alert tells you which one it was.
───────────────────────────────────────────
LEVELS AND THE ONE-BREAK DOCTRINE
Tracked levels: PMH/PML, YH/YL, PDC, WH/WL — computed internally, non-repainting, with session boundaries read in exchange time so they hold up through daylight-saving changes and holiday-shortened weeks.
LIFETIME VIRGINITY: a level may signal ONE break per lifetime. The first close beyond it consumes the level; wicks never spend it — sweeps that close back are probes, not violations. A spent level renews when its value changes or at the session roll. This kills re-break noise: a level violated at midday cannot fire again in the evening.
LIVE-LEVEL MATURITY: running levels (WH/WL always; PMH/PML while the premarket window is open) must rest untouched for a set number of bars before they can arm — every new weekly high is technically a "break of WH," and this suppresses that churn while keeping the first quality break.
WHEN "YESTERDAY" ROLLS: Roll Mode is Auto by default — futures roll at the 18:00 ET session open, equities at the next regular-session open — so evening and overnight sessions trade against the levels of the session that just completed.
The full doctrine in one sentence: a level may signal one break per lifetime, provided it has aged while live and is broken with momentum.
───────────────────────────────────────────
THE RETEST — TWO SPECIES
IMMEDIATE KISS-BACK: while the breakout leg is still building, a return to within tolerance of the broken level fires the retest — the fast test-and-reject, often within a bar or two of the break.
SWING 50% RETEST: if price runs instead, the swing confirms, the leg's 50% level is drawn, and the deeper retracement to the 50% or the level — whichever price reaches first — fires the retest.
A+ FLAG: when the leg's 50% coincides with the broken level itself, the retest is tagged A+ — two independent trade logics agreeing on one price.
───────────────────────────────────────────
SIGNALS AND ALERTS
On the chart: the consolidation box, a "B&R " label on the confirmed break, a dotted 50% line once the swing confirms, and a "RETEST " label (with A+ when earned). Breaks that armed but failed are marked with a small x; unconfirmed breaks leave no trace.
Two independent alert stages, each toggleable:
• CONFIRMED BREAKOUT — the level, the direction, and which confirmation fired.
• RETEST ENTERED — the level and price, with the A+ tag when the 50% sits on the level. Off by default; many traders use the breakout alert to get to the chart and watch the retest form.
Alert setup: ONE alert per chart, condition "Any alert() function call", expiration Open-ended. The toggles in settings control what fires. Note: TradingView alerts snapshot settings at creation — after changing settings, recreate the alert.
───────────────────────────────────────────
HOW TO USE IT
Traders who study break-and-retest setups typically treat the breakout alert as the heads-up and the retest as the decision point — watching for a confirmation candle at the retest before acting. The consolidation box shows you what broke; the tags tell you how it was confirmed.
This indicator identifies structure and sequence. It does not generate buy/sell recommendations, does not place trades, and does not replace your own analysis and risk management.
───────────────────────────────────────────
TECHNICAL NOTES
• Non-repainting: every state transition confirms on bar close; ATR uses completed daily bars; no lookahead anywhere.
• Intraday timeframes only. Built for index and commodity futures but works on any liquid symbol; thresholds are a percentage of daily ATR with tick floors, so they travel across instruments and volatility regimes.
• Coil and range windows, momentum and FVG thresholds, maturity, timeouts, retest tolerance, and session times are fully configurable.

GProf - Kangaroo TailGProf - Kangaroo Tail
═══════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
This indicator detects a single, specific reversal event: a liquidity-sweep candle at a meaningful level — the Kangaroo Tail. Price runs an extreme, sweeps through a level where liquidity rests, and is rejected hard within one candle, closing back on the other side.
It is deliberately quiet. Most sessions it prints nothing. It speaks only when a candle sweeps a genuine multi-hour extreme, shows textbook rejection anatomy, and does so at a nameable level. The Kangaroo Tail is not a candle pattern that happens to be near a level — it is a level rejection whose evidence is a candle.
───────────────────────────────────────────
THE CANDLE (KT Short shown — KT Long is the mirror)
1. THE SWEEP — the candle's high prints a new high versus a long lookback (default 78 bars, about 6.5 hours on the 5m). Room to the left, measured in time: the extreme must be genuinely fresh, which excludes signals from inside congestion — you cannot sweep a multi-hour high from within chop.
2. REJECTION ANATOMY — the entire body sits in the bottom third of the range (body position is the filter; color is reported, not required). The opposite wick is capped tightly, and the sweep wick itself must be significant: at least a set percentage of the daily ATR, with a tick floor, so the threshold scales across instruments.
3. CONTEXT — the body sits inside the previous candle's range (toggleable), and a large prior same-direction candle raises a caution tag on the signal rather than suppressing it: the thrust into a level is often strong, and that thrust-sweep-reject sequence is the pattern at its best.
───────────────────────────────────────────
THE LEVEL — REQUIRED, AND MEASURED CORRECTLY
No level, no signal. The confluence set:
• Session levels: PMH/PML, YH/YL, PDC, WH/WL — computed internally, non-repainting.
• Camarilla pivots: R3/R4 for shorts, S3/S4 for longs, from yesterday's RTH high/low/close, DRAWN on the chart (S3/S4 green, R3/R4 red, central pivot marked).
• Up to three custom levels — enter your own higher-timeframe lines and they become part of the confluence set.
Two details most level tools get wrong:
LEVEL-IN-WICK GEOMETRY: the level must lie within the sweep wick's span. A deep sweep THROUGH the level is the pattern at its strongest, not a disqualification. When the wick spans more than one level, the nearest to the wick tip is named.
LIVE-LEVEL MATURITY: a running level (WH/WL always; PMH/PML while the premarket window is open) must rest untouched for a set number of bars before it counts — a sweep candle's own extreme IS the newborn premarket high, and a level seconds old is not structure.
WHEN "YESTERDAY" ROLLS: Roll Mode is Auto by default — futures roll at the 18:00 ET session open, equities at the next regular-session open — so evening and overnight signals test the session that just completed and the Camarilla levels derived from it. Session boundaries are read in exchange time, correct year-round through daylight-saving changes.
───────────────────────────────────────────
SIGNALS AND ALERTS
A qualifying candle prints one label — "KT ▼" or "KT ▲" — carrying its context: the level swept, whether the wick landed inside an unfilled qualified Fair Value Gap, and a caution tag when the prior candle was large.
The alert message includes everything needed to assess without opening the chart: sweep depth in points, the level, FVG confluence, body color, and reference trade geometry — trigger one tick beyond the KT extreme, stop one tick beyond the wick, and the 1:1 target.
Alert setup: add the indicator, create ONE alert with condition "Any alert() function call", expiration Open-ended. Direction is controlled in settings. Note: TradingView alerts snapshot settings at creation — after changing settings, recreate the alert.
A near-miss diagnostics mode (off by default) is available for investigation: candles at a level that fail exactly one anatomy check print a small marker naming it.
───────────────────────────────────────────
HOW TO USE IT
The Kangaroo Tail marks a completed liquidity event at structure. Traders who study these typically look for entry on a break of the candle's extreme in the rejection direction, with the stop beyond the sweep wick — the geometry the alert pre-computes. Keep your own higher-timeframe levels current in the custom slots: the level set is the heart of the tool.
This indicator identifies a candle pattern at a level. It does not generate buy/sell recommendations, does not place trades, and does not replace your own analysis and risk management.
───────────────────────────────────────────
TECHNICAL NOTES
• Non-repainting: all detection confirms on bar close; ATR uses completed daily bars; levels are built from session windows with no lookahead.
• Intraday timeframes only. Built for index and commodity futures but works on any liquid symbol; size thresholds are a percentage of daily ATR with tick floors, so they travel across instruments.
• Sweep lookback, anatomy thresholds, proximity band, maturity, and session times are fully configurable.

GProf - Levels, RVOL, ATRGProf - Levels, RVOL, ATR
═══════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
This indicator answers the three questions an intraday trader asks before and during every session, in one tool:
1. LOCATION — Where is price relative to the structure that matters?
2. PARTICIPATION — Who showed up today, compared to a normal day?
3. RANGE — How much movement is statistically normal, and how much has already been spent?
It combines key session levels, time-of-day Relative Volume (RVOL), and a 14-day ATR with a live Range/ATR reading, shown as clean level lines plus a compact on-chart dashboard. Built with index and commodity futures in mind (NQ, ES, YM, RTY, GC, CL and their micros), it works on any intraday symbol with volume data, and adapts its session logic automatically between futures and equities.
───────────────────────────────────────────
LAYER 1: LOCATION — SESSION LEVELS
• YH / YL — Yesterday's High and Low, RTH-only or full session day.
• PDC — Previous Day Close.
• PMH / PML — Premarket High and Low (4:00am–9:30am ET, or the full overnight session to capture the entire Globex range on futures). Live during the premarket, then frozen at the open.
• WH / WL — The current week's running High and Low, updating in real time.
Each level is a labeled horizontal line with a matching price-scale marker. Colors, width, and labels are configurable, and each group toggles independently.
WHEN "YESTERDAY" ROLLS: by default, Roll Mode is Auto — futures roll yesterday's levels at the 18:00 ET session open (the exchange's own trading-day boundary, so evening and overnight sessions reference the day that just completed), while equities and other symbols roll at the next regular-session open. A manual override is available. Session-day and week boundaries are read in exchange time, so they are correct year-round through daylight-saving changes and hold up across holiday-shortened weeks.
───────────────────────────────────────────
LAYER 2: PARTICIPATION — RVOL
Raw volume comparisons mislead: the first 30 minutes of a session always dwarf lunch hour. This RVOL is time-of-day aware. It records the cumulative session-volume profile for each of the last N sessions, then compares today's cumulative volume to the average at the same elapsed minute of the session.
A reading of 100% means participation is exactly normal for this time of day; 150% means today is running half again above normal. The dashboard colors the reading against a configurable threshold. RVOL is a regular-session metric and reads N/A outside those hours.
───────────────────────────────────────────
LAYER 3: RANGE — ATR(14) AND RANGE/ATR
The dashboard shows the daily ATR (default 14 days), calculated from completed daily bars only — stable all day, never repainting intraday.
More useful than the raw number is Range/ATR: today's range so far as a percentage of the ATR. Under 70% (green), a statistically normal amount of range remains. Between 70–100% (orange), the day is approaching its average. Over 100% (red), the day has already exceeded a normal range, so late continuation attempts are fighting a mostly-spent tape.
Optional ATR Projection Bands (off by default) draw Today's Low + ATR and Today's High − ATR as live exhaustion estimates; when they invert, the day has exceeded its average range — visible at a glance.
───────────────────────────────────────────
HOW TO USE IT
Before the open: note where price sits relative to PMH/PML, YH/YL, and PDC. Confluence between these marks the zones most likely to produce reactions.
At the open: watch RVOL. An opening drive on 130%+ participation behaves very differently from one on 60%.
During the session: use Range/ATR as context for continuation versus exhaustion. A breakout attempt at 95% of ATR deserves more skepticism than the same pattern at 40%.
This indicator draws context only. It does not generate signals, place trades, or replace your own analysis and risk management.
───────────────────────────────────────────
TECHNICAL NOTES
• Non-repainting by design: no lookahead requests, no lower-timeframe data. Levels are built from chart-bar session windows; ATR uses completed daily bars; RVOL uses only accumulated history.
• Best on standard intraday timeframes (1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m). Not intended for daily or higher charts.
• RVOL needs its lookback period of visible chart history to build a full profile; readings in the first sessions after loading are based on fewer samples.
• Session times, timezone, and roll behavior are fully configurable; defaults follow US equities/futures conventions.

GProf - FVG AlertsGProf - FVG Alerts
═══════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
This indicator detects standard 3-candle Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), draws every gap as a live zone, and fires an alert only when a gap is both large enough to matter and sits in an area with room to the left. It is built to surface displacement worth trading and stay silent on the rest.
Everything confirms on the close of the third candle — nothing is drawn or alerted intrabar, so a gap that appears mid-candle and vanishes before the close never produces a false alert.
───────────────────────────────────────────
DETECTION
• Bullish FVG — the current candle's low is above the high from two bars ago. The zone spans from that prior high (bottom) to the current low (top).
• Bearish FVG — the current candle's high is below the low from two bars ago. The zone spans from the current high (bottom) to that prior low (top).
───────────────────────────────────────────
THE ALERT FILTER — SIZE AND ROOM
Every FVG is drawn. An alert fires only when BOTH conditions are met:
1. SIZE — the gap is at least a set percentage of the daily ATR (default 2%), with a tick floor. Measuring against ATR rather than a fixed point value makes the threshold portable: it means the same thing on a fast index future and a slow one, and it adapts as volatility changes. A fixed-points mode is also available.
2. ROOM TO THE LEFT — the origin of the impulse that created the gap must be in clean territory: the anchor level (the extreme of the move) has few prior candle bodies overlapping it across a lookback window (defaults: 3 bodies over 20 bars). A gap that forms in the middle of prior congestion is drawn but does not alert.
Gaps are shown in three tiers so the chart teaches you over time:
• Full color — qualified on size AND room: these alert.
• Muted gray — big enough, but the anchor lacked room to the left: drawn, silent.
• Faint — below the size threshold: drawn, silent.
Watching which large gaps had room and which did not, and how price treats each, tells you where your own thresholds belong.
───────────────────────────────────────────
ZONE MANAGEMENT
• Zones extend right until fully filled: a bullish gap is removed when price trades down through the bottom of the zone, a bearish gap when price trades up through the top.
• Partial fills leave the zone at its original size — the original boundaries remain the reference, not the shrinking remainder.
• A configurable cap limits how many zones stay on the chart; oldest are removed first.
───────────────────────────────────────────
ALERTS — HOW TO SET UP
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Open the Alert dialog and set the Condition to this indicator.
3. Select "Any alert() function call".
4. Set Expiration to Open-ended and choose your notification methods.
One alert covers everything. The Alert Direction input controls what fires: Both, Bullish Only, Bearish Only, or Off. Alert messages include the symbol, timeframe, direction, gap size in points and as a percentage of ATR, whether room-to-the-left is clean, and the exact zone boundaries.
Note: TradingView alerts snapshot the indicator's settings when created. If you change the size threshold or other settings later, edit and re-save (or recreate) the alert for the new values to take effect.
───────────────────────────────────────────
HOW TO USE IT
FVGs mark displacement — areas price moved through so fast that an imbalance was left behind. Many traders study them as zones of interest for retracement entries, targets, or invalidation. This indicator identifies and sizes the gaps, flags the significant ones that also have room to the left, and otherwise stays out of the way. Combine it with your own market structure analysis, session context, and risk management.
This indicator identifies a chart pattern. It does not generate buy/sell recommendations, does not place trades, and does not replace your own analysis and risk management.
───────────────────────────────────────────
TECHNICAL NOTES
• Non-repainting: detection, drawing, and alerts occur on confirmed bar closes only.
• Works on any symbol and timeframe. Size thresholds are a percentage of daily ATR with tick floors, so they travel across instruments and volatility regimes; a fixed-points mode is available.
• Colors, transparency, borders, size threshold, and the room-to-the-left lookback are fully configurable.

Watchlist Curator Stock RankerPick a sector — it scores ten of that sector's biggest names and ranks the top five leaders. A fast, honest starting point for your watchlist.
You've spotted the strong sector. Now — which stocks? Watchlist Curator takes one sector, scores ten of its biggest, most-traded names against the same yardstick, and hands you the top five in ranked order. That's a working watchlist in one look, instead of an hour of chart-flipping.
It works on its own — nothing else required.
Why a composite rank instead of raw relative strength?
Sorting a basket by relative strength alone hands you whatever ran the hardest — which is often the name that's most stretched and least enterable. The Curator's score starts with RS but lets the other components confirm or veto it: the trend stack rewards names in clean uptrends, the RSI sweet-spot deliberately down-ranks anything already overbought, and volume confirms real participation. The point of combining them is to surface leaders you can still enter — a different question than "what went up the most."
What it ranks — clearly said
Each of the 11 sectors carries a fixed basket of ten household-name bellwethers (Technology = AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AVGO, CRM, AMD, ADBE, ORCL, CSCO, ACN — and so on for the rest). The Curator ranks *within that basket*. It doesn't scan every stock in the sector — it tells you which of the sector's big liquid names lead, which is where most swing traders should be looking anyway.
The Leadership Score (hover the Score header for this on the chart)
Relative strength vs SPY — the stock's % move minus SPY's over the lookback (20 bars by default). The backbone of the score.
Trend stack — up to +6: above the fast EMA, fast EMA above slow, above the slow EMA (+2 each).
RSI sweet spot — +3 only when RSI sits between 50 and 70: trending, but not overbought. This is deliberate — a red-hot name that's already stretched ranks lower on purpose, so the list points you at leaders you can still enter, not chases.
Volume — +2 for trading above its average.
The score is relative-strength % plus points — not a 0–100 scale. The Rating column translates it: 15+ Strong · 5–15 Good · 0–5 Fair · below 0 Lagging the market. The #1 row is highlighted in gold; a name whose data can't load shows "n/a".
How to use it
1. Find the leading sector — use whatever sector-strength read you trust.
2. Pick that sector in the dropdown.
3. Read the top five. Gold row = the current leader.
4. Those names are the charts worth your study time.
Settings — defaults work out of the box
Sector (dropdown, 11 choices) and timeframe (Daily by default — the ranking uses this timeframe no matter what chart you're on).
RS/momentum lookback (20), fast/slow EMA (20/50), RSI length (14).
Stocks to show (up to 5), table position, text size, dark/light theme, colors.

MAEM - Macro Barometer
A compact macro dashboard for traders who can't watch four charts at once. MAEM - Macro Barometer places a single table on your active chart showing the live bias (Bullish / Bearish / Flat) and an RSI extreme flag (OB/OS) for four classic macro references: DXY, VIX, US10Y and WTI Crude Oil — the barometers most traders check before pulling the trigger on Gold, indices, or FX, regardless of what you're actually trading.
HOW IT WORKS
- Bias per barometer = price vs EMA + EMA slope (filters out single-tick whipsaws): Bullish only when price is above a rising EMA, Bearish only when price is below a falling EMA, otherwise Flat.
- The RSI column flags OB (overbought) / OS (oversold) on each barometer, so you catch when a macro driver may be running out of steam before it reverses against your position.
- All four barometers are read on your chart's own timeframe via request.security(), non-repainting (lookahead_off).
CUSTOMIZATION
- Toggle each barometer on/off individually.
- Override any of the four symbols if your broker/feed doesn't carry TVC: data.
- Adjust EMA length, RSI length/thresholds, panel position and text size.
Built for traders who want the macro backdrop at a glance without tab-hopping between separate charts — part of the MAEM suite alongside Structure Suite and Volume Suite. Indikator
Buy-Sell Signals using Multi-Logic Trading System
📈 Advanced Multi-Logic Trading System with Trend, Momentum, Breakout and Risk Management
The **Buy-Sell Signals using Multi-Logic Trend, Momentum & Breakout System** is a multi-condition trading indicator designed to help traders identify structured trading opportunities across different market environments.
Unlike a conventional indicator that depends on only one moving-average crossover or oscillator, Buy-sell with Multi-logic Trading Sytem combines:
✅ Market structure and EMA alignment
✅ Higher-timeframe trend confirmation
✅ Session VWAP positioning
✅ RSI and MACD momentum
✅ Bollinger Band positioning and volatility
✅ Volume expansion and OBV direction
✅ Range-breakout confirmation
✅ Sideways-market mean reversion
✅ Dynamic stop-loss and target calculations
✅ Signal management and cooldown controls
The objective is not to produce the maximum number of signals.
The objective is to filter market noise and highlight situations where multiple independent conditions support the same directional view.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 How the Indicator Reads the Market
Buy-sell with Multi-logic Trading Sytem continuously classifies the chart into one of four market conditions:
📈 BULLISH TREND
A bullish trend is identified when:
**Price > Fast EMA > Medium EMA > Slow EMA**
With the default settings, this represents:
**Price > EMA 20 > EMA 50 > EMA 200**
This structure indicates that short-term, medium-term and long-term price positioning is aligned in the bullish direction.
------------------------------------------------
📈 BEARISH TREND
A bearish trend is identified when:
**Price < Fast EMA < Medium EMA < Slow EMA**
With the default settings:
**Price < EMA 20 < EMA 50 < EMA 200**
This indicates complete bearish alignment across the three trend layers.
------------------------------------------------
📈 RANGE / SIDEWAYS
The system studies the previous trading range over the selected Range Lookback.
The current candle is excluded from this range calculation. This allows the indicator to identify a genuine close outside the previous range instead of comparing the breakout candle against a range that already includes it.
A market is treated as sideways when:
• The previous range width remains within the selected percentage threshold
• Complete bullish EMA alignment is absent
• Complete bearish EMA alignment is absent
------------------------------------------------
📈 Transition
The Transition condition appears when the market is neither properly trending nor qualifying as a defined range.
This commonly happens when:
• EMAs are crossing or compressing
• Price repeatedly moves around the EMA ribbon
• The previous trend is weakening
• A new trend has not yet become established
• Price is moving between range and trend conditions
Transition is usually the least reliable environment for mechanical signals.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ The Four Entry Logic Engines
Buy-sell with Multi-logic Trading System contains four separate entry engines.
Each engine is designed for a different type of market behaviour.
📈 1. Trend-Following Logic
Trend-following logic is designed to participate in an already established directional move.
A bullish trend setup requires:
• Bullish EMA alignment
• Minimum bullish confluence score
• Higher-timeframe bullish permission
• Price above session VWAP
A bearish trend setup requires the opposite conditions.
🔷 Bullish confluence score
The bullish score contains six independent components:
1. Bullish EMA trend alignment
2. RSI positioned between 45 and 72
3. MACD above its signal line with a positive histogram
4. Price above the Bollinger Band basis
5. High volume with bullish OBV behaviour
6. A bullish candle closing above the previous structural swing high
🔷 Bearish confluence score
The bearish score also contains six components:
1. Bearish EMA trend alignment
2. RSI positioned between 28 and 55
3. MACD below its signal line with a negative histogram
4. Price below the Bollinger Band basis
5. High volume with bearish OBV behaviour
6. A bearish candle closing below the previous structural swing low
The **Minimum Trend Confluence** setting determines how many of these six conditions must agree.
🔷 When to use Trend-Following Logic
👉Use it when:
• The EMA ribbon is properly expanded
• Price is making higher highs and higher lows in an uptrend
• Price is making lower highs and lower lows in a downtrend
• Pullbacks are respecting the fast or medium EMA
• Price is consistently holding on the correct side of VWAP
• The higher-timeframe trend supports the trade direction
👉 When to avoid it
Avoid relying on trend logic when:
• EMAs are flat or repeatedly crossing
• Price is trapped inside a narrow range
• The market-condition card shows Transition
• A signal appears directly below major resistance
• A signal appears directly above major support
• Price has already completed a large impulsive move without a pullback
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 2. Momentum Logic
Momentum logic is designed to detect acceleration before complete trend confluence becomes necessary.
🔷For bullish momentum, the indicator looks for:
• Price above the fast EMA
• RSI above 52
• Positive MACD histogram
• MACD histogram increasing from the previous candle
• Bullish OBV positioning
• Volume confirmation when usable volume is available
• Bullish higher-timeframe permission
• Price above VWAP
🔷Bearish momentum uses the opposite conditions.
Momentum logic can respond earlier than full trend logic because it does not require the complete EMA 20–50–200 alignment or the minimum six-part trend score.
👉 When to use Momentum Logic
Momentum logic is most useful when:
• Price is emerging from consolidation
• A fresh intraday directional move is developing
• Volume is expanding with price
• MACD momentum is accelerating
• Price has reclaimed or rejected VWAP decisively
• A pullback is followed by renewed directional strength
• The higher timeframe already supports the intended direction
👉 When to avoid it
Avoid momentum entries when:
• The momentum candle is unusually extended
• Price is entering a major higher-timeframe supply or demand zone
• Volume expansion is caused by a news spike
• MACD is positive but price structure remains weak
• Price repeatedly crosses VWAP
• The chart has unreliable or unavailable volume data
Momentum logic is especially dependent on meaningful volume and OBV behaviour. It is therefore generally better suited to liquid stocks, indices, futures and other actively traded instruments.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 3. Range-Breakout Logic
The breakout engine is designed to identify confirmed movement outside a previously established range.
It does not trigger merely because price trades a few ticks outside the range.
A bullish breakout requires:
• The previous market qualified as a range
• Price closes above the previous range high
• The close exceeds the range by the selected ATR buffer
• The previous candle had not already closed above the range
• The breakout candle closes strongly toward its high
• RSI is above 50
• MACD is bullish
• Volume confirms the move when available and required
• Price is above VWAP
The bearish breakout logic uses the opposite conditions.
🔷 Breakout Confirmation Buffer
The ATR buffer prevents the system from treating a marginal move above or below the boundary as a valid breakout.
A value of **0.15 ATR** means price must close beyond the range boundary by an additional 15% of the current ATR.
Increasing this value creates fewer but more selective breakout signals.
🔷 Breakout Candle Close Position
The candle must also close strongly in the breakout direction.
With a value of **0.60**:
• A bullish breakout candle must close in the upper 40% of its total range
• A bearish breakout candle must close in the lower 40% of its total range
This helps reject candles that break a level intrabar but leave a large rejection wick.
🔷 Important HTF behaviour
The higher-timeframe EMA filter directly controls the Trend and Momentum engines.
The Range-Breakout engine instead uses its own range, ATR, candle-strength, RSI, MACD, volume and VWAP confirmation.
Therefore, traders should still manually inspect the higher-timeframe structure before accepting a breakout signal.
👉 When to use Breakout Logic
Use breakout logic when:
• Price has formed a clean and visible range
• Range boundaries have been tested multiple times
• Bollinger Band width has contracted before expansion
• Volume increases during the breakout
• The breakout candle closes outside the level
• There is sufficient room before the next major structure
• VWAP supports the breakout direction
👉 When to avoid it
Avoid breakout entries when:
• The range is poorly defined
• Price is breaking directly into higher-timeframe resistance or support
• The breakout candle leaves a large rejection wick
• Volume is weak or declining
• Price has already moved far beyond the range before entry
• The breakout occurs during an irregular news candle
• The range threshold is set too loosely and ordinary price movement is being classified as consolidation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 4. Sideways Mean-Reversion Logic
Mean reversion is disabled by default because it represents a different trading philosophy from trend-following.
Instead of expecting price to continue moving away from fair value, this engine looks for rejection near the outer areas of a sideways range.
The range is divided into zones:
• Lower reversion area near the bottom 20% of the range
• Upper reversion area near the top 20% of the range
A bullish mean-reversion setup requires:
• Mean-reversion logic enabled
• Market classified as sideways
• Range sufficiently wide relative to ATR
• Price testing the lower reversion zone
• Price closing back above that zone
• A bullish rejection candle
• A sufficiently large lower wick
• RSI below 38
• RSI turning upward when the RSI-turn filter is enabled
• Volume permission
A bearish mean-reversion setup requires the opposite conditions near the upper range zone, with RSI above 62 and turning downward.
🔷 Important Mean-Reversion Behaviour
Mean-reversion trades are intentionally based on sideways-market rejection.
They do not use the higher-timeframe trend or VWAP filter in the same way as the Trend and Momentum engines.
This is logical because a range-fading trade may temporarily move against the prevailing higher-timeframe direction.
However, it also means mean-reversion mode should be activated only when the trader has independently confirmed that the market is genuinely balanced and range-bound.
👉 When to use Mean Reversion
Use it when:
• The market has clear horizontal boundaries
• EMA alignment is absent
• Price repeatedly rejects both sides of the range
• The range is wide enough to offer practical reward
• RSI reaches an extreme and begins turning
• The rejection candle closes back inside the range
• No major breakout catalyst is expected
👉 When not to use it
Disable mean reversion when:
• The market is strongly trending
• The EMA ribbon is expanding
• Price is forming one-sided momentum candles
• Volume is increasing near the range boundary
• A breakout is supported by broader-market direction
• Price is repeatedly pressing one boundary without meaningful rejection
Repeated testing of one range boundary can represent pressure accumulation rather than a reversal opportunity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔍 Higher-Timeframe Trend Filter
The higher-timeframe filter compares price with an EMA calculated on the selected higher timeframe.
👉When enabled:
• Long Trend and Momentum setups require bullish HTF positioning
• Short Trend and Momentum setups require bearish HTF positioning
The higher-timeframe calculation is designed to use confirmed information rather than future-looking data.
🔷 Suggested timeframe combinations
These are practical starting points and should be tested for each instrument:
• 3-minute chart → 15-minute or 30-minute HTF
• 5-minute chart → 30-minute or 60-minute HTF
• 15-minute chart → 60-minute or 4-hour HTF
• 30-minute chart → 4-hour HTF
• 1-hour chart → 4-hour or Daily HTF
• 4-hour chart → Daily or Weekly HTF
A closer HTF produces more opportunities.
A larger HTF produces fewer but more structurally selective opportunities.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📍 Session VWAP Filter
VWAP acts as the indicator’s intraday fair-value reference.
👉When enabled:
• Long Trend, Momentum and Breakout setups require price above VWAP
• Short Trend, Momentum and Breakout setups require price below VWAP
This reduces situations where a bullish technical setup appears below intraday fair value or a bearish setup appears above it.
👉Keep VWAP enabled when:
• Trading intraday
• Trading indices or liquid stocks
• Trading momentum continuation
• Trading opening-range or consolidation breakouts
• Filtering counter-directional entries
👉 Consider disabling VWAP when:
• Trading higher timeframes where session VWAP has less relevance
• Trading instruments with irregular sessions
• Testing a pure swing-trading model
• Using another manually defined fair-value framework
Disabling VWAP increases flexibility but may also increase counter-directional signals.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Volume and OBV Confirmation
The indicator compares current volume with its moving average.
With the default multiplier of **1.5**, high volume means the current volume is at least 1.5 times the selected average volume.
OBV is then compared with its own moving average to determine whether cumulative volume behaviour supports buyers or sellers.
The system is designed so that missing volume does not automatically block every setup.
However, symbols with reliable exchange volume are preferred, particularly when using Momentum Logic.
🔷 Volume Multiplier Interpretation
• 1.20–1.40: More responsive, but more noise
• 1.50: Balanced default
• 1.70–2.00: Strong expansion required
• Above 2.00: Very selective and mainly suited to exceptional participation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛡️ Stop-Loss and Target Engine
Every confirmed signal creates an active entry, stop-loss and target.
The indicator provides three stop-loss methods.
🔷 Structure + ATR
👉For a long trade:
The stop is placed below the previous structural swing low with an additional ATR buffer.
👉For a short trade:
The stop is placed above the previous structural swing high with an ATR buffer.
This is generally the preferred method for price-action and structure-based trading.
🔷ATR Stop
The stop is calculated using a fixed ATR multiple from the entry.
This method adapts to current volatility without depending on the location of a previous swing.
It can be useful for:
• Momentum setups
• Instruments with irregular swing structures
• Fast-moving markets
• Systematic risk standardisation
🔷 Fixed Percentage Stop
The stop is placed at a fixed percentage from entry.
This is simple but does not adjust to changing volatility.
It should be used carefully because the same percentage may be too tight in a volatile market and unnecessarily wide in a quiet market.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Target Methods
🔷Risk-to-Reward Target
The target is calculated from the actual distance between entry and stop.
With a 1.5 risk-to-reward ratio, the target is 1.5 times the defined trade risk.
🔷 ATR Target
The target is positioned at a selected ATR multiple from entry.
This can be useful for momentum trades where price expansion is expected.
🔷 Fixed Percentage Target
The target is placed at a fixed percentage from entry.
This is straightforward but less adaptive than ATR or structure-based calculations.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 Preferred Risk Settings
🔷 Structure-Based Intraday Trading
• Stop Method: Structure + ATR
• Structure ATR Buffer: 0.15–0.25
• Target Method: Risk:Reward
• Risk:Reward: 1.5–2.0
🔷 Momentum Trading
• Stop Method: ATR
• Stop ATR Multiplier: 1.2–1.8
• Target Method: ATR or Risk:Reward
• Target ATR Multiplier: 2.0–3.0
🔷 Swing Trading
• Stop Method: Structure + ATR
• Swing Lookback: 10–20
• Structure ATR Buffer: 0.20–0.40
• Target Method: Risk:Reward
• Risk:Reward: 1.5–2.5
🔷 Mean-Reversion Trading
• Stop Method: Structure + ATR or ATR
• Use a stop beyond the rejected range boundary
• Avoid excessively wide targets
• Consider the opposite side or midpoint of the range as practical structure
These values are starting points, not universal settings. Different instruments have different volatility and structural characteristics.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚦 Signal-Control System
Buy-sell with Multi-logic Trading System includes several controls to prevent repeated or conflicting signals.
👉 Minimum Bars Between Signals
The cooldown prevents the indicator from producing another signal immediately after the previous one.
Default: **5 bars**
Lower values create more frequent signals.
Higher values reduce repeated entries during the same move.
👉 Fresh Setup Only
When enabled, a signal appears only when the complete setup changes from false to true.
It prevents the indicator from repeatedly signalling on every candle while the same condition remains active.
This should normally remain enabled.
👉 Wait for SL or Target Before Next Signal
When enabled, the indicator waits for the active stop or target to be touched before accepting another trade.
This creates a cleaner one-trade-at-a-time workflow.
It is the preferred setting for discretionary traders and alert-based execution.
👉 Allow Opposite Signal
This setting becomes relevant when “Wait for SL/Target” is disabled.
It determines whether an opposite signal can replace the current directional trade before the original levels are completed.

⛔ When Not to Use the Indicator
Avoid taking signals mechanically when:
• The market-condition card shows an unstable Transition phase
• Price is moving inside a very narrow and noisy area
• A signal is directly facing major higher-timeframe structure
• Price is highly extended from the EMA ribbon or VWAP
• The signal candle is abnormally large
• A major economic event is creating unpredictable volatility
• The selected instrument is illiquid
• Volume data is unreliable
• Bid–ask spreads are unusually wide
• The chart timeframe is too low for the instrument
• There is insufficient reward before the next support or resistance
• The stop required by structure is larger than the trader’s permitted risk
A technically valid signal is not automatically a good trade.
Location, liquidity, market context and risk remain essential.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ Recommended Trading Workflow
Step 1 : Identify the market condition
Determine whether the chart is trending, ranging or transitioning.
Step 2 : Check the higher timeframe
Confirm the broader directional structure before using Trend or Momentum signals.
Step 3 : Check VWAP location
For intraday trading, prefer longs above VWAP and shorts below VWAP.
Step 4 : Read the dashboard
Compare:
• Bull and Bear scores
• RSI
• ATR percentage
• Volume ratio
• Bollinger Band width
• Higher-timeframe trend
Step 5 : Identify which logic suits the market
Do not use mean reversion in a strong trend.
Do not depend only on trend logic in an unstructured range.
Step 6 : Check trade location
Identify nearby support, resistance, previous-day levels, liquidity zones and higher-timeframe structure.
Step 7 : Evaluate risk
Check whether the displayed stop is logically placed and whether sufficient reward is available.
Step 8 : Wait for candle confirmation
Avoid anticipating a signal before the candle closes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ Important Notes
Buy-sell with Multi-logic Trading System is a decision-support indicator, not an automatic guarantee of profitable trades.
The indicator does not know:
• Your account size
• Your maximum permitted risk
• Whether a market-moving announcement is approaching
• Whether a nearby level is personally significant to your analysis
• Whether an option contract has suitable liquidity, delta or implied volatility
• Whether the displayed trade fits your trading plan
When several logic engines are enabled together, a BUY or SELL signal can originate from Trend, Momentum, Breakout or Mean-Reversion conditions.
The current signal marker does not separately label which internal engine generated it. The market condition, dashboard and surrounding price action should therefore be used to interpret the setup.
Always test the indicator on the intended market and timeframe before using it in live trading.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Final Perspective
Buy-sell with Multi-logic Trading System is designed around one central idea:
**Trade according to the current market regime instead of forcing the same strategy into every market.**
Use Trend Logic when structure is aligned.
Use Momentum Logic when participation and acceleration are increasing.
Use Breakout Logic when price is escaping a well-defined range with confirmation.
Use Mean Reversion only when the market is genuinely balanced and rejecting its boundaries.
The indicator can organise information, filter conditions and define structured risk—but disciplined execution, position sizing and market awareness remain the trader’s responsibility.

Indikator
Percentage Price Oscillator Navigator [MarkitTick]💡 A highly multi-dimensional momentum and trend-tracking suite. Rather than relying on singular data points, this comprehensive ecosystem fuses normalized momentum oscillators, dynamic volatility filters, and automated risk-management frameworks into a single, cohesive interface. Designed for meticulous market analysts, it provides a strictly confirmed, non-repainting environment to identify structural shifts, validate trend strength, and project actionable risk-to-reward parameters.
● ✨ Originality and Utility
Standard momentum oscillators often suffer from noise in ranging environments and fail to contextualize signals with prevailing market conditions. This tool distinguishes itself by integrating a robust "Smart Filter" engine directly into the core momentum calculation. By dynamically cross-referencing directional movement strength, average true range expansions, and volume surges, it ensures that momentum shifts are only validated when supported by underlying market participation. Furthermore, the inclusion of a fully automated, dynamic risk-to-reward leveling system transforms a traditional oscillator into a complete trade management overlay, complete with a real-time heads-up display dashboard and fully formatted JSON alert payloads for external automation.
● 🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The foundational logic relies on the proportional divergence between a faster and slower moving average, calculating the percentage difference to create a normalized oscillator. This normalization is critical as it allows for consistent momentum evaluation across diverse asset classes regardless of their nominal price value.
To prevent the common pitfall of reverse-engineering and to protect the underlying intellectual architecture, the internal mathematical sequences remain fully abstracted. The methodology employs a cascading verification process:
First, the core normalized divergence is measured against its own smoothed signal line to identify baseline directional shifts.
Second, a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) confirmation engine evaluates the macro trend. This utilizes a strict, offset historical data request architecture, ensuring zero future-data leakage or repainting artifacts.
Third, the Smart Filter engine evaluates atmospheric market conditions. It demands that background volatility, average directional strength, and volume participation meet minimum threshold requirements before validating any structural momentum shift.
Finally, the system utilizes strict bar-close confirmation logic. Signals are exclusively generated when the evaluation bar has permanently closed, ensuring unalterable historical accuracy.
● 🎨 Visual Guide
The visual interface is engineered to maximize data delivery while maintaining chart clarity.
• Oscillator Elements
PPO Line (Solid Blue): Represents the primary normalized momentum metric.
Signal Line (Solid Orange): A smoothed derivative of the primary momentum, acting as the baseline for crossover events.
Histogram Columns: Visualizes the spread between the PPO and Signal lines. Rising positive momentum is colored in solid teal, while weakening positive momentum fades to a transparent teal. Conversely, expanding negative momentum is solid red, fading to transparent red as bearish momentum wanes.
Zero Line (Gray): The equilibrium point delineating macro bullish versus bearish environments.
• Chart Overlay Elements
Heatmap Candles: The main chart candles are dynamically colored (Teal for positive momentum, Red for negative momentum) based directly on the histogram's state, instantly aligning price action with underlying momentum.
Signal Markers: Small, precise triangles appear at the exact bar of a confirmed momentum crossover (Teal triangle pointing up for bullish, Red pointing down for bearish).
Risk Management Levels: Upon a confirmed signal, the tool draws horizontal projections. The Stop Loss is a thick solid red line. The Entry is a dashed blue line. Take Profit targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) are plotted as dashed teal lines of varying opacity. Colored background fills visually represent the geometric risk and reward zones.
• Heads-Up Dashboard
A fixed tabular dashboard provides a real-time diagnostic readout of all internal states, including current momentum values, moving average gap percentages (visualized as a progress bar), higher-timeframe alignment, and the active positional status with exact level coordinates.
● 📖 How to Use
This tool is designed to act as a primary navigational compass for market structure. Traders should observe the histogram for early signs of momentum deceleration (indicated by fading column colors). A validated setup occurs when the primary momentum line crosses the signal line, strictly accompanied by a visual marker on the chart.
Because the system employs strict bar-close confirmation, traders must wait for the bar to finalize before interpreting a signal as valid. Once a signal fires, the risk management levels automatically project onto the chart. The user can utilize the "Lock Signal" feature to freeze these specific entry and exit levels on the chart, preventing the system from calculating subsequent, potentially conflicting signals while a trade is actively being managed. The comprehensive JSON alerts can be mapped directly to external execution platforms, utilizing the dynamically generated Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit price coordinates embedded within the payload.
● ⚙️ Inputs and Settings
The configuration panel is highly modular, categorized logically for precise tuning:
• Core
Defines the lookback periods for the fast, slow, and signal moving averages, as well as the calculation type (SMA or EMA) and the source price data.
• Filters
The gatekeeper settings. Users can toggle and tune the Higher Timeframe confirmation, ADX strength threshold, ATR volatility multiplier, and Volume moving average requirements. A histogram slope confirmation can also be activated to ensure structural momentum is moving in the correct direction.
• Trade Tools
Controls the geometric risk overlay. Users define the Stop Loss distance via an ATR multiplier and set precise Risk:Reward ratios for all three Take Profit targets. The "Lock Signal" toggle is located here, allowing users to freeze the active projection.
• Visuals & Dashboard
Comprehensive toggles to enable or disable specific UI elements such as the histogram, heatmap candles, chart signals, and the diagnostic dashboard, allowing for a fully customized workspace.
• Alerts
Input fields to define custom JSON action tags for integration with third-party webhooks, ensuring seamless connectivity with external systems.
● 🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The theoretical foundation of this evaluation suite rests on the synthesis of structural momentum analysis and statistical variance gating. In traditional financial modeling, momentum is frequently quantified as the first derivative of price relative to time. However, absolute price changes suffer from scalar distortion; a ten-point move in a high-valuation asset is mathematically insignificant compared to a ten-point move in a low-valuation asset. By utilizing a normalized percentage differential between dual moving averages, the tool mathematically standardizes momentum, allowing for robust, scale-invariant analysis.
Furthermore, the integration of the Smart Filter engine elevates the framework from simple linear smoothing to a multidimensional evaluation model. The inclusion of the Average Directional Index (ADX) introduces a non-directional vector strength requirement, ensuring that momentum shifts are occurring within an established trend environment rather than a stochastic mean-reversion chop. The Volatility filter, utilizing the Average True Range (ATR), acts as a statistical variance gate. It postulates that significant structural shifts require an expansion in price distribution variance; if a momentum crossover occurs during a period of localized volatility contraction, it is statistically more likely to be a false positive generated by noise rather than a genuine shift in market consensus.
Finally, the dynamic risk leveling system applies principles of geometric expectancy. By anchoring the invalidation point (Stop Loss) to the ATR, the system ensures that risk parameters are continuously adjusted to the current statistical distribution of price movement, rather than relying on arbitrary, static percentages. This creates a mathematically sound, expectancy-positive projection model that adapts fluidly to expanding and contracting market environments, enforcing a rigorous, quantitative approach to trade management.

Order Block Engine [JOAT]═══ ORDER BLOCK ENGINE ═══
Most order-block tools paint a fresh box on every candle and bury the chart. This one does the opposite. It only marks the last opposing-close candle that appears just before a genuine displacement leg — a move that closes through a confirmed swing by more than a volatility-scaled threshold, backed by a volume expansion. The result: only a handful of clean, unmitigated, high-grade zones survive on screen at once.
▎ WHAT IT DOES
It maps institutional-style order blocks, grades each one from 0 to 10 by ★ quality, extends the surviving zones to the right until price mitigates them, and fires a single clean BUY / SELL pill on a valid retest + reaction — complete with an R-multiple TP/SL zone construct. A grey/white and blue-chrome dashboard keeps the running read of structure, bias and zone quality in one corner.
▎ HOW IT WORKS
— Confirmed swing structure. Pivot highs and lows are tracked with a configurable lookback. Each swing stays "unbroken" until price genuinely closes through it.
— Displacement break. A bullish break needs an up-close candle that closes above the last swing high by more than Displacement × ATR ; a bearish break mirrors it below the swing low. ATR scaling means the threshold self-adjusts to any asset or timeframe.
— Volume confirmation. The breaking candle's volume must exceed its own moving-average baseline by the chosen multiplier. On symbols with no volume feed, this filter auto-skips.
— Order-block selection. Once a break is confirmed, the engine walks back through recent bars to find the last opposing-close candle — the down-close before a bullish break, or the up-close before a bearish break. That candle's high/low becomes the zone.
— ★ Grade (0-10). Each block is scored on three factors: how far the break displaced (in ATR), how strong the volume expansion was, and the body-to-range ratio of the origin candle. The composite maps to a 0-10 grade and a tier (WEAK → FAIR → SOLID → STRONG → ELITE).
— Mitigation & signals. Live zones extend right on each bar. If price closes fully through a zone, it is mitigated — frozen and greyed (or deleted). If instead price wicks back into the zone and the bar reacts back out with a close in the right direction, and the block's grade clears your minimum, a BUY / SELL signal fires. One signal per bar, longs take priority.
— Trade construct. On a signal the engine builds an entry line at close, a stop a buffer beyond the zone edge (× ATR), and TP1 / TP2 at your chosen R multiples — drawn as green TARGET and red RISK zone boxes that extend, then freeze when SL or TP2 is touched.
▎ HOW TO USE IT
— Treat the surviving zones as decision areas , not guarantees. A blue zone is a bullish order block; a slate zone is bearish. The ★ tag shows its grade at a glance.
— Wait for price to return into a zone. The engine only signals on a retest + reaction , so you are not chasing the initial impulse.
— Use the BUY / SELL pill's grade (e.g. ★★★★ 7.8/10) as a confidence read — higher grades reflect stronger displacement, volume and candle body.
— The TARGET ZONE and RISK ZONE boxes frame reward against risk before you commit. Entry, SL, TP1 and TP2 are all labelled with their R multiples.
— Grey zones are spent — they have already been mitigated and are kept only as context for prior structure.
— Combine with your own higher-timeframe bias; order blocks aligned with trend tend to be the cleaner reactions.
▎ KEY SETTINGS
— Engine: ATR length, structure pivot width, displacement break multiple, OB candle search depth, and bull/bear toggles.
— Filters: volume expansion on/off with baseline length and multiplier, minimum grade required to signal, and confirm-on-close to avoid intrabar repaint.
— Zones: show zones, max zones kept (4-6 recommended), extension length, fill transparency, ★ grade labels, keep-mitigated-grey toggle, and bull/bear colours.
— Signals & Risk: show BUY/SELL pills, draw TP/SL zone, stop buffer (× ATR), TP1 and TP2 R multiples, projection length, and max trade sets kept.
— Extras: optional zone-reader candle tinting and an optional VWAP + σ band.
▎ DASHBOARD
A compact panel (five positions, three text sizes) reports: current Bias , count of live Bullish and Bearish OBs, the Nearest zone level and its distance in %, the Strongest zone's grade and tier, the Last Mitigated zone, the Active Signal state, and running Signal and Trade W/L tallies. The W/L count is an illustrative record of how the historical construct resolved — not a performance promise.
▎ ALERTS
— OB Bullish Signal — fires on a bullish order-block retest + reaction.
— OB Bearish Signal — fires on a bearish order-block retest + reaction.
Both include ticker and interval in the message.
▎ NOTES
— Works on all timeframes and all assets ; ATR and volume baselines adapt automatically.
— Confirm On Bar Close evaluates detection, mitigation and signals on closed bars only, so confirmed signals do not repaint.
— Everything is toggleable — zones, grades, pills, trade boxes, candles, VWAP and dashboard — for a chart as clean or as detailed as you like.
— The volume filter self-disables on feeds without volume, so nothing breaks on those symbols.
For research and education only. This is not financial advice. No indicator can predict the future, and past behaviour never guarantees future results. Always do your own analysis and manage your own risk.

Market Structure Shift [JOAT]═══ MARKET STRUCTURE SHIFT ═══
A complete Smart Money Concepts structure engine that reads the market the way institutional flow moves it — mapping every swing and internal shift, tagging each break as BOS (continuation) or CHoCH (reversal), then layering liquidity, premium/discount context, and a structure-anchored risk plan on top. It turns raw price action into a clean, labelled map of who is in control and where the shift happens.
▎ WHAT IT DOES
MSS tracks confirmed pivots and runs them through a two-layer structure state machine. When price closes (or wicks) beyond a protective swing, it draws the break line, labels it BOS or CHoCH, and updates the live trend state. Around that skeleton it adds equal-high/low liquidity marks, a premium/discount/equilibrium range map, an optional structure-anchored SL and Reward:Risk target zone, session VWAP with deviation bands, and a live dashboard summarising the whole picture.
▎ HOW IT WORKS
• Confirmed pivots — swing highs/lows are detected with a symmetric pivot length (bars each side), so a pivot only prints once fully confirmed. A separate, shorter internal pivot length tracks a faster inner structure layer.
• BOS vs CHoCH logic — each layer holds a trend state (bull / bear / range). A bullish break of the last swing high while the state is already bullish is a BOS (continuation); a bullish break while the state was bearish is a CHoCH (change of character / first reversal). The mirror logic applies to bearish breaks.
• Break confirmation — you choose whether a candle must close beyond the level (cleaner) or whether any wick penetration counts.
• Sequence read — every new pivot is classified HH / LH / HL / LL (or EQ) so you can see the higher-high / lower-low rhythm at a glance.
• Liquidity (EQH/EQL) — two consecutive pivots landing within an ATR-scaled tolerance are marked as Equal Highs or Equal Lows — resting liquidity pools where stops cluster.
• Premium / Discount — the active swing range is split into a Premium (upper) zone, a neutral Equilibrium band around the midpoint, and a Discount (lower) zone, so you always know which half of the range price is trading in.
• Structure-anchored risk — on a fresh signal the stop is placed just beyond the swing that would invalidate the shift (plus an ATR buffer), or by a fixed ATR distance. Risk is floored and capped by ATR, and the target is projected at your Reward:Risk multiple.
• VWAP magnet — session-anchored VWAP with inner and outer standard-deviation bands acts as the fair-value reference the structure tends to rotate around.
• ATR normalisation — label spacing, liquidity tolerance and stop distances all scale with ATR, so the tool behaves consistently across assets and timeframes.
▎ HOW TO USE IT
• Read the trend state first: a CHoCH warns the prevailing structure has broken; a following BOS confirms the new leg. Trade with the higher-conviction swing layer and use internal breaks for earlier, finer entries.
• BUY / SELL labels fire on the events you enable (CHoCH, BOS, or both) from your chosen layer — treat them as a structure trigger, not a blind entry.
• Favour longs from the Discount zone and shorts from the Premium zone; the Equilibrium band is neutral / no-man's-land.
• EQH/EQL marks show where liquidity rests — price often sweeps these before a genuine shift, so use them as targets and as traps to avoid.
• When a signal prints, the RISK ZONE (entry→stop, red) and TARGET ZONE (entry→TP, green) boxes project the plan; the SL and TP lines carry exact price and R labels. The zones extend live, then freeze once TP, SL, or the time-out is reached.
• Use VWAP and its bands as confluence — a shift back through VWAP into the opposite σ band is a common rotation target.
▎ KEY SETTINGS
• Structure Engine — swing pivot length, optional internal layer + its length, close/wick break confirmation, ATR length.
• Signals — signal source (Swing / Internal / both) and whether labels fire on CHoCH, BOS, or both.
• Liquidity & Zones — toggle EQH/EQL, equal-level tolerance, premium/discount zones, equilibrium band width, and the floating price-zone tag.
• Risk Model — stop basis (Structure+Buffer or ATR Multiple), buffer/ATR distance, Reward:Risk multiple, min/max risk floors and caps, projection length, max drawn setups.
• VWAP — show VWAP, inner/outer σ multiples, deviation lookback.
• Visuals — swing/internal break display, pivot markers, zone candle colouring, draw limits, and the blue/violet colour scheme.
▎ DASHBOARD
A compact blue/violet panel reports live: overall Trend , the Last Event (Bull/Bear BOS or CHoCH), the current Swing Sequence (e.g. HH · HL), the Internal structure state, the active Price Zone , running BOS and CHoCH counts, Liquidity (EQH/EQL) count, the current Signal , and the symbol/timeframe. Position and text size are adjustable.
▎ ALERTS
Six alertconditions are provided: Bullish BOS, Bearish BOS, Bullish CHoCH, Bearish CHoCH, BUY Signal, and SELL Signal — each with a ready message carrying ticker and interval.
▎ NOTES
• Works on all timeframes and all assets — everything scales with ATR.
• Pivots are confirmed (they need bars to close each side), so structure marks are non-repainting once printed; the price-zone label and dashboard update live on the last bar as expected.
• Every visual layer has a toggle — turn off what you don't need for a clean chart.
• Signals never fire both directions on the same bar; a conflicting wide-range bar is dropped.

Volume Map Volume Map is a volume profile that shows the price levels where trading activity was concentrated within the selected market range.
The indicator distributes historical candle volume across horizontal price rows and identifies three key reference levels:
🔴 Resistance — the upper boundary of the calculated balance area.
🟡 Balance — the price row with the highest calculated volume.
🟢 Support — the lower boundary of the calculated balance area.
The profile, levels, and information dashboard are all generated from one unified volume-distribution model. They are not separate indicators mechanically combined to create additional signals.
The horizontal profile displays the full volume distribution, the levels identify its key boundaries, and the dashboard translates the same calculations into a clear and accessible market context.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ ORIGINAL CALCULATION METHOD
The main feature of this implementation is the way each candle’s volume is distributed across price rows.
A single candle may cross several price levels. Instead of adding the entire candle volume to every crossed row, Volume Map measures the actual overlap between the candle’s range and each price row.
The volume allocated to a specific row is proportional to:
the row’s overlap with the candle / the candle’s full range
For example, if a price row covers 20% of the candle’s full high-to-low range, that row receives approximately 20% of the candle’s volume.
This approach:
• preserves the candle’s total volume within the profile;
• avoids repeatedly counting the full candle volume at multiple price levels;
• provides a more precise approximation of how available OHLCV volume is distributed within the candle’s range.
When a candle has no measurable difference between its high and low, its volume is assigned to the row containing the closing price.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟡 HOW BALANCE IS DETERMINED
Balance represents the price row with the highest calculated concentration of volume.
When several rows have the same maximum volume, the indicator calculates the volume-weighted centroid of the entire profile and selects the maximum-volume row located closest to that centroid.
This rule connects Balance to the broader volume distribution and avoids automatically selecting the first maximum found in the profile.
Balance can be viewed as a statistical reference for the area of value within the selected range.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔵 HOW THE BALANCE AREA IS FORMED
The Balance Zone Size setting determines what percentage of the profile’s total volume must be contained between Support and Resistance.
The default value is 68%.
The script searches for the narrowest continuous group of price rows that:
• contains the Balance row;
• includes at least the selected percentage of total volume;
• remains continuous between its lower and upper boundaries.
When two possible ranges have the same width, the script selects the one whose center is located closest to Balance.
The balance area does not have to be symmetrical. When more volume is concentrated above or below the Balance row, one side of the area may extend noticeably farther than the other.
This reflects the actual calculated volume distribution instead of artificially centering the boundaries around Balance.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎨 PROFILE COLOR LOGIC
The horizontal profile uses three visual states:
🔵 Blue rows — volume included in the calculated balance area.
⚫ Gray rows — volume located outside the balance area.
🟡 Yellow row — the Balance level.
The width of each row represents its calculated volume relative to the highest-volume row in the profile.
The wider the row, the greater the volume concentration at that price level within the analyzed range.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📍 KEY REFERENCE LEVELS
🟡 BALANCE
Balance is the row with the highest calculated volume in the profile.
It can be used as a statistical reference for the area of value and as a central point for evaluating the current price location.
🔴 RESISTANCE
Resistance is the upper boundary of the balance area.
This level does not mean that price must reverse. It identifies the price where the selected concentration of volume ends on the upper side of the profile.
🟢 SUPPORT
Support is the lower boundary of the balance area.
It is a statistical boundary of the calculated area of value, not a guaranteed support level.
The names Support and Resistance are used to make the profile easier to understand. Both levels are calculated from volume distribution rather than from:
• local highs and lows;
• moving averages;
• traditional pivot levels;
• trend lines.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔗 WHY THESE COMPONENTS ARE COMBINED IN ONE INDICATOR
Volume Map contains three connected components:
1. Horizontal profile
Displays the full calculated volume distribution across price levels.
2. Support, Balance, and Resistance levels
Identify the highest concentration of volume and the boundaries of the balance area.
3. Beginner Dashboard
Explains the current price location relative to the same calculated levels.
The dashboard does not calculate a separate trend, momentum, or trading signal.
Every value displayed in the dashboard is derived directly from:
• the current price;
• Balance;
• Support;
• Resistance.
The purpose of combining these components is to make one volume-distribution calculation useful both for experienced volume-profile users and for traders who prefer a simpler and clearer summary.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🛠️ SETTINGS
Use Visible Range
When enabled, the script builds the profile from the chart range currently visible to the user.
Changing the chart scale or moving the visible range may change the calculated profile and levels.
When disabled, the script uses the fixed number of candles selected in Lookback Bars.
Lookback Bars
Defines the number of recent candles used in the calculation when Use Visible Range is disabled.
• A larger value includes more historical data.
• A smaller value makes the profile more responsive to recent price action.
Profile Detail
Controls the number of horizontal price rows.
• Higher values provide finer price resolution but require more calculations.
• Lower values produce a simpler and smoother profile.
Profile Bar Thickness
Controls the visual thickness of the horizontal rows.
This setting does not affect the calculations.
Profile Width
Controls the maximum horizontal width of the profile relative to the number of analyzed candles.
This setting affects presentation only.
Right Offset
Controls the distance between the latest candle and the profile.
Balance Zone Size
Defines the percentage of total profile volume that must be included between Support and Resistance.
• A higher value usually creates a wider balance area.
• A lower value creates a narrower balance area.
Volume Type
• Both — includes all qualifying candles.
• Bullish — includes candles whose closing price is greater than or equal to their opening price.
• Bearish — includes candles whose closing price is below their opening price.
Bullish and Bearish modes classify the entire volume of a candle according to the candle’s direction.
They do not represent actual buy and sell volume, bid/ask volume, order-flow delta, or the precise distribution of aggressive market orders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
Start with the default settings and observe how price behaves around Balance, Support, and Resistance.
Price inside the balance area
When price is between Support and Resistance, the profile indicates that a significant share of the analyzed volume was concentrated within this range.
Balance can be used as a reference for analyzing:
• price rotation within the area of value;
• mean-reversion behavior;
• price reactions around the area of maximum volume concentration.
Price above Resistance or below Support
When price moves outside the balance area, traders can observe:
• whether price is being accepted outside the area;
• whether price remains outside the area of value;
• whether price returns toward Balance.
The profile may also help identify:
• high-volume areas that price may revisit repeatedly;
• low-volume transitions where less trading activity was previously concentrated;
• changes in the area of value when the profile is calculated over a different range;
• differences between short-term and long-term volume distributions.
Volume Map does not determine trend direction and does not generate predefined:
• entry points;
• exit points;
• stop-loss levels;
• profit targets.
The indicator can be used together with the trader’s own market-structure, trend-direction, and risk-management process.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔄 REAL-TIME BEHAVIOR
The profile is calculated in real time using the selected market range.
Its values may change when:
• the current candle’s high, low, or volume changes;
• a new candle enters the fixed calculation range;
• an older candle leaves the calculation range;
• the visible chart range changes;
• the timeframe, symbol, or settings are changed.
This recalculation is normal behavior for a volume profile based on a changing market range.
The script does not request future data and does not use lookahead calculations.
However, levels calculated using the active candle may continue to change until that candle closes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ LIMITATIONS
Volume Map uses the volume data supplied by TradingView’s chart data source.
Results may be less informative for instruments with:
• unavailable volume data;
• synthetic volume;
• incomplete volume data;
• decentralized volume.
The script estimates the distribution of volume within each candle using the candle’s high-to-low range.
Standard chart data does not contain the exact sequence of every transaction at each price level inside a historical candle.
The profile is therefore an approximation based on the available OHLCV data.
It is not an exchange-level profile calculated from every individual trade or tick.
Support, Balance, and Resistance describe the selected historical range. They do not guarantee a future price reaction and should not be treated as standalone trading instructions.

🎓 IMPORTANT
Volume Map is designed for analytical and educational purposes.
The indicator does not constitute financial advice, does not promise a particular outcome, and does not replace independent analysis or risk management. Indikator
Indikator
Regime Blocks Regime Blocks is a market-structure visualization tool that converts confirmed structural breaks into sequential bullish and bearish price-range blocks.
The indicator helps answer three practical questions directly on the chart:
1. Which structural regime is currently active?
2. How long has the current regime remained active?
3. What price range has developed within the regime?
The main purpose of Regime Blocks is to present price movement as a clear visual map of bullish and bearish structural regimes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 ORIGINALITY AND DESIGN LOGIC
The indicator is based on two analytical concepts:
confirmed swing highs and swing lows;
Average True Range, or ATR, used as a volatility-adjusted structural-break filter.
These components are not an arbitrary combination of unrelated indicators. They work together as parts of one unified market-structure model.
Confirmed swing points define the structural levels that price must exceed. The ATR filter defines the additional minimum distance price must move beyond a swing level before the break is accepted by the system.
Using ATR instead of a fixed number of points allows the confirmation threshold to adapt automatically to instruments with different price scales and volatility levels.
After a break is confirmed, the script applies a persistent market-state model:
an upward break can establish a bullish regime;
a downward break can establish a bearish regime;
a break in the opposite direction changes the current regime;
a break in the same direction can divide an extended regime into a new visual wave without changing its bullish or bearish classification.
The distinction between a regime change and a continuation structural wave is one of the indicator’s key features.
Without segmentation, an extended move can appear as one oversized block that becomes difficult to analyze. Regime Blocks divides such movements into more compact structural sections while preserving the overall regime direction.
This makes it possible to see simultaneously:
the broader structural condition of the market;
the internal development of the current move;
the sequence of structural waves.
The indicator maintains only one Bullish or Bearish label for each regime. When a new wave begins in the same direction, the label is transferred to the current block instead of being repeated on every section.
This approach reduces unnecessary text and keeps the chart visually clean.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ HOW THE CALCULATIONS WORK
1. Swing-point confirmation
The indicator identifies local swing highs and swing lows using a symmetrical pivot window.
The Swing Length setting defines how many candles must appear on both sides of a potential extreme before the swing can be confirmed.
For example, a value of Swing Length = 8 means that eight candles to the left and eight candles to the right are required to confirm a swing point.
A higher value:
creates fewer structural levels;
highlights broader market movements;
reduces sensitivity to short-term fluctuations;
confirms structural changes later.
A lower value:
reacts more quickly to price movement;
identifies smaller structures;
creates more structural breaks;
may increase the number of regime changes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2. Structural-break confirmation
After a swing point is confirmed, the indicator monitors whether price moves beyond the corresponding structural level.
A bullish structural break occurs when the selected confirmation source moves above the latest confirmed swing high, including the additional ATR-based filter.
A bearish structural break occurs when the selected confirmation source moves below the latest confirmed swing low, including the ATR-based filter.
The user can choose between two confirmation methods:
candle-close confirmation;
candle-extreme confirmation using the wick.
When candle-close confirmation is enabled, the structural event is confirmed only after the candle closes beyond the calculated level.
When candle-close confirmation is disabled, the event can be triggered by the candle’s high or low before the current candle closes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
3. ATR break filter
The Break Filter setting is expressed as a fraction or multiple of ATR.
For example, a value of 0.20 means that price must move beyond the swing level by an additional distance equal to at least 0.20 ATR.
Increasing the value:
filters weaker and marginal breaks;
reduces the number of regime changes;
makes the indicator more conservative.
Decreasing the value:
increases the speed of the indicator’s response;
makes the model more sensitive;
may increase the number of temporary or minor breaks.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
4. Market-regime changes
The first confirmed structural break establishes the initial market state.
After that:
a bearish break during a bullish regime starts a Bearish regime;
a bullish break during a bearish regime starts a Bullish regime.
Each confirmed swing level can generate only one break event.
This prevents the same structural level from repeatedly generating events on subsequent candles.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
5. Dividing a regime into structural waves
A confirmed break in the current direction does not change the regime.
For example, a new upward break within an already active bullish regime does not establish a different market state. The regime remains bullish.
When Split Long Regimes Into Waves is enabled, such a break can start a new visual block within the same regime.
A new wave is created only when all three conditions are met:
a new structural break in the current direction is confirmed;
the current block has reached the required minimum duration;
the current block has reached the required minimum price range measured in ATR.
These filters prevent small or closely spaced breaks from creating an excessive number of blocks.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
6. Block construction
Each block begins on the candle where the corresponding structural event is confirmed.
While a block remains active:
its upper boundary follows the highest price reached within the block;
its lower boundary follows the lowest price reached within the block.
When the next structural wave begins or the regime changes, the completed block is fixed and a new block starts separately.
The blocks therefore display the actual price range formed within each structural section.
The blocks are not projected future support or resistance zones.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👁️ HOW TO READ THE INDICATOR
🟢 Bullish regime
Bullish blocks are displayed in green.
The lower boundary is emphasized as the primary reference boundary of the bullish regime.
The upper boundary is displayed as the secondary range boundary.
The Bullish label appears below the lower boundary of the block.
🔴 Bearish regime
Bearish blocks are displayed in red.
The upper boundary is emphasized as the primary resistance boundary of the bearish regime.
The lower boundary is displayed as the secondary range boundary.
The Bearish label appears above the upper boundary of the block.
A longer block shows that the structural condition remained active for a greater number of candles.
Frequent alternation between Bullish and Bearish may indicate a less stable, sideways, or rotational market structure.
Extended sections in one direction indicate a more persistent structural move.
Block boundaries should be interpreted as the actual extremes of a completed or developing structural wave, not as guaranteed reversal points.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛠️ INDICATOR SETTINGS
Swing Length
Controls the sensitivity of confirmed swing-high and swing-low detection.
Lower values:
react more quickly to price movement;

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔔 ALERTS
The indicator provides four alert conditions.
Bullish Regime Started
Triggers when a confirmed bullish structural break changes the market state from bearish or undefined to bullish.
Bearish Regime Started
Triggers when a confirmed bearish structural break changes the market state from bullish or undefined to bearish.
Bullish Structural Wave
Triggers when a confirmed upward break starts a new visual block within an already active bullish regime.
The regime itself does not change.
Bearish Structural Wave
Triggers when a confirmed downward break starts a new visual block within an already active bearish regime.
The regime itself does not change.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⏱️ CONFIRMATION AND REAL-TIME BEHAVIOR
A pivot point requires candles to form to the right of the potential extreme before it can be confirmed.
A swing high or swing low is therefore confirmed with a delay equal to the selected Swing Length.
The indicator does not move a structural-break event retrospectively to the candle where the potential pivot originally appeared.
It first waits for the swing point to be confirmed and then monitors whether the structural-break condition is satisfied.
When candle-close confirmation is enabled, regime changes and new-wave events are evaluated only on closed candles.
When candle-close confirmation is disabled, an intrabar event may appear while the candle is forming and disappear before the candle closes if price moves back inside the structural level.
The active block changes in real time as price develops:
the upper boundary expands when a new high is formed;
the lower boundary expands when a new low is formed.
After the next block begins, completed historical blocks no longer change.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ LIMITATIONS
Regime Blocks is a market-structure visualization indicator, not a complete trading system.
It does not analyze:
volume;
momentum divergence;
order flow;
fundamental data;
trading sessions;
position sizing;
stop-loss placement;
expected trade return;
commissions or other trading costs.
The indicator does not predict whether a block boundary will hold and does not provide guaranteed entry or exit signals.
The output depends on:
the selected Swing Length;
the ATR filter value;
the chart timeframe;
the instrument’s volatility;
the candle type being used.
Synthetic chart types may produce different results because their open, high, low, and close values differ from standard market candles.
Regime Blocks is intended to be used as a market-context tool alongside the trader’s own entry rules, risk management, and independent analysis. Indikator
Recursive Kernel Trend [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Recursive Kernel Trend is a trend-following indicator built on a recursive residual estimator with adaptive rate scheduling. It applies one of six selectable filter structures to a residual-corrected recursion, modulates the update rate according to efficiency and volatility conditions, and confirms directional state through slope persistence. The result is a responsive yet controlled trend line that adapts its tracking behavior to market regime while filtering noise-driven fluctuations across every timeframe and instrument.
🟢 How It Works
The calculation begins with a residual between the selected price source and the current estimate. This residual drives a base recursive update whose rate is not fixed but scheduled on every bar:
resid = src - estimate
base = estimate + kern_rate * resid
The scheduled rate is produced by combining two adaptive weights. Efficiency weighting measures the ratio of net directional progress to total price path over a lookback window, raising the rate when movement is clean and lowering it during chop. Volatility weighting compares current ATR against a longer baseline and reduces the rate when volatility expands. The combined rate is then bounded by floor and ceiling limits and further scaled by an optional directional bias that applies different multipliers depending on whether price sits above or below the estimate:
eff_weight = eff_floor + (1.0 - eff_floor) * eff_ratio
vol_weight = math.min(math.max(1.0 / vol_ratio, 0.50), 1.75)
rate_sched = math.min(math.max(base_rate * eff_weight * vol_weight, rate_floor), rate_ceil)
kern_rate = rate_sched * bias
Six filter structures can be applied to the base update. Standard uses a single pass. Wilder halves the rate for smoother behavior. Double and Triple apply successive lag-compensated stages. Gaussian cascades four poles without compensation. Hull combines fast and slow passes then re-smooths the result. All structures receive the live scheduled rate so the adaptive weighting remains active.
A residual accumulator runs in parallel with the recursion. It retains a decaying memory of past residuals and applies a correction term that closes persistent offset during sustained trends. An optional ATR-based limiter can bound the accumulator to prevent overshoot after gaps or parabolic moves:
corr_acc := corr_acc * corr_decay + resid
estimate := kern_out + corr_weight * corr_acc
Directional state is derived from the slope of the finished estimate after a short smoothing window. A consecutive run of bars in the same slope direction must reach a confirmation threshold before the state is allowed to flip. This step prevents single-bar noise from reversing the trend color or firing alerts.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Bullish Trend (Long/Buy): When the smoothed slope of the estimate remains positive for the required number of confirmation bars, the indicator enters bullish state. The trend line and gradient layers switch to the bullish color. This condition identifies potential long or buy opportunities and remains active until an equal run of negative slope bars confirms a reversal.
▶ Bearish Trend (Short/Sell): When the smoothed slope remains negative for the required confirmation bars, the indicator enters bearish state. The visual elements switch to the bearish color. This condition identifies potential short or sell opportunities and holds until a confirmed positive run occurs.
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three parameter sets cover different trading approaches. Default targets swing trading on 1H to daily charts with balanced rate and confirmation. Fast Response raises the recursion rate and shortens confirmation for intraday charts where the indicator needs to adapt to shorter-duration moves. Smooth Trend lowers the rate and lengthens confirmation for position trading on daily and weekly timeframes, where the cost of a false flip is higher than the cost of a delayed one. Selecting a preset overrides the individual rate, efficiency, and state detection inputs.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Three alert conditions are provided. Bullish State Signal fires when the trend state flips from bearish to bullish. Bearish State Signal fires on the opposite transition. Any State Change combines both into a single notification.
▶ Visual Customization: Six color presets (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Cyber, Neon, Custom) coordinate the trend line and gradient layers. Optional bar coloring tints candles with the active state color at a configurable transparency.
*Tips: Layer the Recursive Kernel Trend with complementary analysis rather than treating it as a standalone trading tool. State flips hold most reliably when backed by participation, so combine each change with volume context, since a flip on expanding volume is far more likely to sustain than one on thin flow, and read the move against market structure, as a reversal that aligns with a clear swing high or low carries more significance than one in open space. Pairing this script with volume, open interest, CVD, market structure, and mean reversion indicators from our QuantAlgo toolkit can further validate a directional shift before entry. Indikator
Average Price Sideways Detector - Gap Neutral## Average Price Sideways Detector – Gap Neutral
The **Average Price Sideways Detector (APSD)** is designed to identify bullish, bearish, and sideways market conditions by analyzing the behavior of the average price derived from each candle's **High, Low, and Close (HLC3)**.
Unlike conventional trend indicators, APSD focuses on **average-price direction, price compression, and persistence** to identify periods where the market is genuinely moving sideways.
### How It Works
For every candle, the indicator calculates the typical price:
**Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3**
It then analyzes three primary characteristics:
**Average Price Slope:** Measures the directional movement of the average price. A nearly flat slope indicates a potential sideways market.
**Price Compression:** Measures how tightly recent average prices are grouped. Lower compression ranges indicate consolidation and reduced directional movement.
**Sideways Persistence:** A sideways condition must remain valid for a specified number of consecutive candles before it is confirmed. This helps reduce temporary and false sideways signals.
### Gap-Neutral Calculation
The indicator resets its internal price calculation at the beginning of each new trading day. Therefore, overnight **gap-ups and gap-downs do not directly distort the current session's sideways analysis**.
This feature is particularly useful for intraday markets where significant opening gaps can otherwise influence rolling indicators for several candles.
### Indicator Interpretation
🟢 **Green Line** – Bullish price momentum
🔴 **Red Line** – Bearish price momentum
⚪ **Gray Line** – Neutral or sideways market condition
When a sideways market is fully confirmed through both flatness and compression conditions, the oscillator moves to the **zero line**.
The upper and lower threshold levels help separate meaningful directional movement from the neutral zone.
### Key Features
* Based primarily on High, Low, and Close average-price behavior
* Identifies price compression and average-price flatness
* Confirms sideways conditions using consecutive candles
* Gap-neutral session-based calculation
* Separates bullish, bearish, and sideways market conditions
* Adjustable sensitivity and confirmation settings
* Designed primarily for intraday market analysis
### Important Note
The indicator should be used as a market-condition detection tool rather than as a standalone buy or sell signal. Settings may need adjustment depending on the instrument, timeframe, and prevailing market volatility.

Terminal Velocity Stop | Lyro RSOverview:
Terminal Velocity Stop is an ATR-based trailing stop that borrows a physics concept for its trailing logic: a falling object stops accelerating once it hits terminal velocity. Instead of letting a single vertical candle snap the stop right under price, this stop's per-bar movement is hard-capped at a maximum speed, so it keeps a controlled distance through violent moves and only closes the gap gradually once the market settles.
Key Features
ATR-Based Stop Targeting: Calculates a bullish and bearish stop target using independent ATR multipliers, allowing asymmetric distance in uptrends versus downtrends.
Terminal Velocity Cap: Limits how far the stop can travel per bar (in ATR terms), so parabolic candles cannot yank the stop into the noise — the stop always approaches its target at a controlled, capped speed.
Directional Trailing Logic: The stop only tightens in the direction of the current trend and flips direction (with a fresh target) once price closes through it.
Trend Cloud Fill: Fills the space between price and the stop line, shaded and colored to reflect current trend direction and give a clear visual sense of the cushion between price and the stop.
Flip Markers: Plots a marker dot at the exact bar where the stop flips direction, making trend reversals easy to spot at a glance.
Candle Coloring: Colors chart candles according to the current stop direction for immediate visual alignment between price action and trend state.
Customizable Visuals: Choose from 4 preset palettes — Classic, Mystic, Accented, Royal — or define your own custom bullish/bearish colors.
How It Works
ATR Calculation – Computes the Average True Range over the chosen length as the base volatility measure.
Target Calculation – Sets a bullish target below price or bearish target above price, offset by the respective ATR multiplier.
Speed Capping – Limits the stop's movement toward its target each bar to a maximum of the Terminal Velocity setting (in ATR per bar), regardless of how far the target has moved.
Directional Trailing – In an uptrend the stop only ratchets upward toward its target; in a downtrend it only ratchets downward, never loosening.
Flip Detection – When price closes beyond the current stop, direction flips and a new stop target is established on the opposite side of price.
Visualization – Plots the stop line with a glow effect, fills the trend cloud between price and stop, marks flips, and colors candles to match the current direction.
Practical Use
Trailing Stop Management – Use the plotted stop line as a dynamic trailing stop level for open positions, adjusting for the asymmetric up/down multipliers to suit your risk tolerance.
Volatility Spike Protection – The Terminal Velocity cap helps avoid getting stopped out prematurely during a single volatile candle by preventing the stop from moving too aggressively in one bar.
Trend Direction Read – Use flip markers and candle coloring as a quick visual cue for the prevailing trend direction.
Cushion Awareness – Watch the width of the trend cloud to gauge how much room price currently has before triggering a stop flip.
Customization
Adjust ATR Length to tune stop responsiveness to volatility.
Set independent + and - Multipliers to control stop distance separately for uptrends and downtrends.
Adjust Terminal Velocity to control the maximum per-bar speed of the stop.
Pick a preset palette or define fully custom bullish/bearish colors.

Funding Rate & OI Radar [StrixEDGE]What It Does
Funding Rate & OI Radar is a multi-symbol derivatives dashboard that consolidates funding rate intensity, open interest momentum across three timeframes, and price-OI divergence signals into a single on-chart table. It is designed for perpetual futures traders who need to read market positioning at a glance — without switching tabs or charts.
The indicator tracks up to 5 perpetual contract symbols simultaneously, surfaces extreme funding conditions as they develop, and flags structurally weak rallies or drops where price and open interest are moving in opposite directions.
Core Features
Funding Rate with Color Intensity
Funding rate values are color-graded by severity — from dim neutral tones near zero, through elevated orange, to extreme red (longs paying) or bright green (shorts paying). Extreme readings trigger a highlighted cell background so they stand out immediately during fast-moving markets.
Open Interest Change — 1H / 4H / 24H
Three separate OI delta columns show how positioning is shifting across intraday, swing, and daily windows. Each cell includes a directional arrow (▲ ▼ ►) and percentage change, color-coded against your configured alert threshold. This gives you a layered read: is OI building across all timeframes, or only spiking on the short window?
Price-OI Divergence Detection
The SIGNAL column cross-references 24H price change against 24H OI change and classifies the move:
- WEAK▲ — Price rising but OI declining. Rally lacks new capital commitment. Potential short squeeze or exhaustion move.
- WEAK▼ — Price falling but OI rising. New positions opening into the drop. Potential capitulation trap or forced selling.
- STRONG▲ — Price and OI both rising. New money entering on the long side. Structurally supported move.
- STRONG▼ — Price and OI both falling. Positions closing out. Orderly deleveraging.
- NEUTRAL — No meaningful divergence.
Weak signals receive a highlighted background row to ensure they are not missed.
Multi-Symbol Table
Monitor BTC, ETH, SOL, and two custom perpetual contracts of your choice — all rendered in a single dashboard. The table includes configurable column visibility, so you can strip it down to just FR + divergence, or run the full 8-column view.
Aggregate Sentiment Footer
The bottom row averages funding rates across all active symbols and classifies the overall market into one of seven sentiment tiers — from 🟢 EXTREME FEAR through ⚪ NEUTRAL to 🔴 EXTREME GREED. A fast, blunt read on whether the derivatives market is skewing overleveraged in either direction.
Alerts
Four built-in alert conditions, all routed through TradingView's native alert system:
- Extreme Funding Rate — Any tracked symbol's absolute FR exceeds your configured threshold (default: 0.05%/8h).
- OI Surge — Any symbol's 1H OI change exceeds your OI alert threshold (default: 5%).
- OI-Price Divergence — A WEAK▲ or WEAK▼ signal fires on any tracked symbol.
- Sentiment Extreme — Aggregate average FR across all symbols reaches the extreme zone.
Data Sources & Configuration
The indicator supports two modes for funding rate data:
- Ticker Mode (default) — Pulls funding rate from your exchange's dedicated FR data feed using a configurable ticker suffix (default: `_FR`). Requires the exchange to publish FR data through TradingView.
- Basis Proxy Mode — Estimates the implied 8-hour funding rate from the perpetual-spot price spread: `(Perp − Spot) / Spot / 3`. Useful when direct FR tickers are unavailable. Note: this is an approximation, not the actual settlement rate.
Open interest data is fetched via configurable OI ticker suffix (default: `_OI`).
Important: Ticker formats vary across exchanges and TradingView data providers. If columns display "N/A", adjust the OI/FR suffix inputs under 🔌 Data Sources to match your exchange's naming convention. Consult your exchange's TradingView symbol search for the correct format.
Settings Overview
📊 Symbols — Exchange selector, 3 default symbols (BTC/ETH/SOL perpetuals), 2 optional custom slots.
🔌 Data Sources — OI suffix, FR suffix, FR method toggle, spot suffix override for basis proxy.
🚨 Thresholds — Extreme FR level, elevated FR level, OI alert percentage. These control both color intensity breakpoints and alert trigger levels.
🎨 Display — Table position (8 positions), text size (Tiny / Small / Normal / Large).
📋 Columns — Individual toggles for Price, Price Δ24H, Funding Rate, OI Δ1H, OI Δ4H, OI Δ24H, Divergence Signal, and Sentiment Footer. Disable any column you don't need to keep the table compact.
Technical Notes
- Uses 25 `request.security()` calls across 5 symbols (well within Pine Script's 40-call limit).
- OI changes are calculated from actual multi-timeframe requests (60min, 240min, Daily) — not bar-count estimates — so they remain accurate regardless of your chart's timeframe.
- Table renders only on the last bar (`barstate.islast`) for performance.
- Inactive custom symbol slots (left blank) fall back to the primary ticker internally and are hidden from the table.
How to Read It
Open the indicator on any chart. The table appears as an overlay (default: top-right corner). Scan left to right:
1. Symbol — Which asset.
2. Price — Current perpetual price.
3. Δ24H — Daily price change. Green = up, red = down.
4. FR /8h — Current funding rate per 8-hour interval. Bright color = elevated. Highlighted background = extreme.
5. OI Δ1H / 4H / 24H — Open interest change with directional arrows. Look for alignment across timeframes (all rising = strong conviction) or divergence (1H spiking, 24H flat = short-term noise).
6. SIGNAL — Divergence classification. WEAK▲ and WEAK▼ are the actionable signals — they indicate structural fragility in the current move.
7. Sentiment — Aggregate market tilt from combined funding rates.
Use Cases
- Scalpers & intraday traders — Monitor 1H OI spikes alongside funding rate to detect short-squeeze or long-squeeze setups forming in real time.
- Swing traders — Use the divergence signal column to filter entries. Avoid longing into WEAK▲ conditions; avoid shorting into WEAK▼.
- Portfolio monitors — Track funding costs across multiple positions simultaneously. Elevated aggregate sentiment warns of crowded positioning before liquidation cascades.
Complementary Tools
Designed to pair with liquidity heatmaps and liquidation level estimators. Funding rate tells you who is paying whom. OI tells you how much is at stake. Liquidity maps tell you where the pressure points are. Together, they give a full derivatives positioning read. Indikator
