Advanced Session Profile Predictor with SR Boxes & ORAdvanced Session Profile Predictor with Momentum Arrows
Designed for intraday traders, this indicator analyzes price action across Asia, London, and New York sessions to predict market profiles and highlight key trading opportunities. By combining session-based profiling, Opening Range (OR) visualization, and momentum signals from Traders Dynamic Index (TDI), it offers a unique tool for anticipating trends, reversals, and breakouts. Ideal for forex, indices, and crypto on 15M–1H charts.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Unlike typical session indicators that only mark time zones or standard TDI scripts that focus on momentum, this tool:
Predicts market profiles (e.g., "Trend Continuation," "NY Manipulation") by analyzing session ranges and directional moves, offering actionable insights into how sessions interact.
Visualizes Opening Range (OR) boxes for the first 15 minutes of each session, helping traders spot early breakout levels.
Integrates TDI with momentum to generate precise bullish/bearish arrows, filtered by session context for improved reliability.
Simplifies decision-making with dynamic profile labels showing real-time long/short conditions based on price levels.
How Does It Work?
Session Tracking:
Asia (00:00–08:00 UTC, yellow), London (08:00–16:00 UTC, red), and New York (13:00–21:00 UTC, blue) sessions are highlighted with background colors and high/low lines (crosses).
OR boxes (first 15 minutes) are drawn for each session: yellow for Asia, red for London, blue for NY.
Profile Prediction:
Compares Asia and London session ranges and directions (e.g., trending if range > 1.5x 5-period SMA).
Examples:
Trend Continuation: Asia and London trend in the same direction—long above Asia high (uptrend) or short below Asia low (downtrend).
NY Manipulation: Asia trends, London consolidates—watch for NY breakouts at London high/low.
Displays the predicted profile and entry conditions in labels (e.g., "IF price hits 1.2000 LONG").
Momentum Arrows:
Uses TDI (RSI period 21, bands 34, fast MA 2) and 12-period momentum.
Green up arrow: Fast MA > upper band (>68) and momentum rising (bullish).
Red down arrow: Fast MA < lower band (<32) and momentum falling (bearish).
Support/Resistance (SR):
Plots dynamic SR boxes based on pivot highs/lows, filtered by volume (inspired by ChartPrime’s methodology, credited below).
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to a 15M–1H chart. Adjust time zone (default: UTC) and session times if needed. Customize TDI/momentum settings for sensitivity.
Trading:
Check the top-right labels for the current profile and entry conditions (e.g., "IF price hits LONG/SHORT").
Confirm entries with green up arrows (bullish) or red down arrows (bearish).
Use OR boxes and session high/low lines to identify breakout or reversal levels.
Example: In "NY Manipulation," wait for price to hit London high (long) or low (short) during NY session, confirmed by an arrow.
Best Markets: Forex (EUR/USD), indices (SPX500), crypto (BTC/USD) with sufficient intraday volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Session Profiling: Detects trends (range > SMA * threshold) and manipulation (e.g., London breaking Asia’s high/low) to predict NY behavior.
OR Boxes: Marks the first 15 minutes’ high/low as a breakout zone (time-based, 900,000 ms).
TDI + Momentum: Combines RSI-based bands with price change (close – close ) for momentum signals.
SR Boxes: Identifies pivots over a lookback period (default 20), scaled by ATR and filtered by volume thresholds.

Relative Strength RatioWhen comparing a stock’s strength against NIFTY 50, the Relative Strength (RS) is calculated to measure how the stock is performing relative to the index. This is different from the RSI but is often used alongside it.
How It Works:
Relative Strength (RS) Calculation:
𝑅
𝑆
=
Stock Price
NIFTY 50 Price
RS=
NIFTY 50 Price
Stock Price
This shows how a stock is performing relative to the NIFTY 50 index.
Relative Strength Ratio Over Time:
If the RS value is increasing, the stock is outperforming NIFTY 50.
If the RS value is decreasing, the stock is underperforming NIFTY 50.
Mushir's Inside Candle IndicatorThis indicator detects inside candle formations on the chart’s current timeframe. It highlights when a candle’s range is fully engulfed by the previous candle’s range, provided the previous candle meets specific criteria.
How It Works ?
It shows the formation of inside candle on the charts to help in find trades.
Mother Candle Validation
The previous candle must be a “leg candle” with a strong body and minimal wicks relative to its body size, ensuring a robust structure.
Inside Candle Detection
The current candle qualifies as an inside candle if:
Its high is ≤ the previous candle’s high.
Its low is ≥ the previous candle’s low.
Why Use This Indicator?
Adapts to the chart’s current timeframe—no manual adjustments needed.
Easily gives you the identification of inside candles
Minimalistic Design
Better results in trending market
How to use it?
- when the inside candle is formed there are certain conditions:
1. if the next candle first crosses the high of inside candle, look for a potential buy trade with RR as 2:1 while stoploss being just below the low of inside candle.
2. if the next candle first crosses the low of inside candle, look for a potential sell trade with RR as 2:1 while stoploss being just above the high of inside candle.
3. if 2:1 is achieved, then increase the partial target to 3:1 while bringing the stoploss to the entry point.
4. if the high is crossed first and then the low is crossed or vice versa then the trade is invalidated.
Happy Trading!

Bollinger Bands + Supertrend by XoediacBollinger Bands with Supertrend Indicator by Xeodiac
This script combines two powerful technical analysis tools — Bollinger Bands and the Supertrend Indicator — to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market volatility and trend direction.
Bollinger Bands: These bands consist of a middle band (the simple moving average, or SMA) and two outer bands (calculated as standard deviations away from the middle). The upper and lower bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels, expanding during high volatility and contracting during low volatility.
Supertrend Indicator: The Supertrend is a trend-following indicator that uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate an adaptive threshold, indicating whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend. The indicator changes color based on the trend direction, providing clear buy and sell signals.
Features of the Script:
Volatility-based Signals : By incorporating the Bollinger Bands, the script adjusts to market volatility. Traders can identify periods of high and low volatility, helping to gauge potential price breakouts or reversals.
Trend Confirmation: The Supertrend helps confirm the trend direction, ensuring that trades are aligned with the overall market trend. Green Supertrend signals indicate an uptrend, while red signals indicate a downtrend.
Enhanced Decision-making: By using both indicators together, traders can make more informed decisions. For instance, buying opportunities are validated when the price is near the lower Bollinger Band, and the Supertrend is in a bullish phase, and vice versa for selling.
Customizable Parameters: The script allows users to customize the settings for both the Bollinger Bands and the Supertrend, enabling fine-tuning based on trading preferences or market conditions.
Ideal Use Cases:
Identifying trend reversals or continuation patterns in trending markets.
Monitoring price action during periods of low volatility for breakout opportunities.
Filtering out false signals by combining volatility with trend strength.

1H/3m Concept [RunRox]🕘 1H/3m Concept is a versatile trading methodology based on liquidity sweeps from fractal points identified on higher timeframes, followed by price reversals at these key moments.
Below, I will explain this concept in detail and provide clear examples demonstrating its practical application.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📌 ABOUT THE CONCEPT
The 1H/3m Concept involves marking Higher Timeframe (HTF) fractals directly onto a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart. When a liquidity sweep occurs at an HTF fractal level, we remain on the same LTF chart (since all HTF fractals are already plotted on this lower timeframe) and wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) to identify our potential entry point.
Below is a schematic illustration clearly demonstrating how this concept works in practice.
Below is another 💡 real-chart example , showing liquidity in the form of a 1H fractal, swept by a rapid impulse move. Immediately afterward, a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) occurs, signaling a potential entry point into the trade.
Another example is shown below, where we see our hourly fractal, from which price clearly reacts, providing an opportunity to search for an entry point.
As illustrated on the chart, the fractal levels from the higher timeframe are clearly displayed, but we’re working directly on the 5-minute chart. This allows us to remain on one timeframe without needing to switch back and forth between charts to spot such trading setups.
🔍 MTF FRACTALS
This concept can be applied across various HTF-LTF timeframe combinations. Although our examples illustrate 1H fractals used on a 5-minute chart, you can effectively utilize many other timeframe combinations, such as:
30m HTF fractals on 1m chart
1H HTF fractals on 3m chart
4H HTF fractals on 15m chart
1D HTF fractals on 1H chart
The key idea behind this concept is always the same: identify liquidity at fractal levels on the higher timeframe (HTF), then wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower timeframe (LTF) to enter trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Trade Direction – Select the preferred trading direction (Long, Short, or Both).
🔷 HTF – Choose the higher timeframe from which fractals will be displayed on the current chart.
🔷 HTF Period – Number of candles required on both sides of a fractal candle (before and after) to confirm fractal formation on the HTF.
🔷 Current TF Period – Sensitivity to the impulse that sweeps liquidity, used for identifying and forming the MSS line.
🔷 Show HTF – Enable or disable displaying HTF fractal lines on your chart. You can also customize line style and color.
🔷 Max Age (Bars) – Number of recent bars within which fractals from the selected HTF will be displayed.
🔷 Show Entry – Enable or disable displaying the MSS line on the chart.
🔷 Enable Alert – Activates TradingView alerts whenever the MSS line is crossed.
You can also enable 🔔 alerts, which notify you whenever price crosses the MSS line. This significantly simplifies the process of identifying these setups on your charts. Simply configure your preferred timeframes and wait for notifications when the MSS line is crossed.
🔶 We greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions for improving the indicator!
Uptrick: Time Based ReversionIntroduction
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive view of market momentum and potential trend shifts by combining multiple moving averages, a streak-based trend analysis system, and adaptive color visualization. It helps traders identify strong trends, spot potential reversals, and make more informed trading decisions.
Purpose
The primary goal of this indicator is to assist traders in distinguishing between sustained market movements and short-lived fluctuations. By evaluating how price behaves relative to its moving averages, and by measuring consecutive streaks above or below these averages, the indicator highlights areas where trends are likely to continue or lose momentum.
Overview
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion calculates one or more moving averages of price data and then tracks the number of consecutive bars (streaks) above or below these averages. This streak-based detection provides insight into whether a trend is gaining strength or nearing a potential reversal point. The indicator offers:
• Multiple moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA)
• Optional second and third moving average layers for additional smoothing of first moving average
• A streak detection system to quantify trend intensity
• A dynamic color scheme that changes with streak strength
• Optional buy and sell signals for potential trade entries and exits
• A ribbon mode that applies moving averages to Open, High, Low, and Close prices for a more detailed visualization of overall trend alignment
Originality and Uniqueness
Unlike traditional moving average indicators, Uptrick: Time Based Reversion incorporates a streak measurement system to detect trend strength. This approach helps clarify whether a price movement is merely a quick fluctuation or part of a longer-lasting trend. Additionally, the optional ribbon mode extends this logic to Open, High, Low, and Close prices, creating a layered and intuitive visualization that shows complete trend alignment.
Inputs and Features
1. Enable Ribbon Mode
This input lets you activate or deactivate the ribbon display of multiple moving averages. When enabled, the script plots moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices and uses color fills to show whether these four data points are collectively above or below their respective moving averages.
2. Color Scheme Selection
Users can choose from several predefined color schemes, such as Default, Emerald, Crimson, Sapphire, Gold, Purple, Teal, Orange, Gray, Lime, or Aqua. Each scheme assigns distinct bullish, bearish and neutral colors..
3. Show Buy/Sell Signals
The indicator can display buy or sell signals based on its streak analysis logic. These signals appear as markers on the chart, indicating a “Safe Uptrend” (buy) or “Safe Downtrend” (sell).
4. Moving Average Types and Lengths
• First MA Type and Length: Choose SMA, EMA, or WMA along with a customizable period.
• Second and Third MA Types and Lengths: You can optionally stack additional moving averages for further smoothing, each with its own customizable type and period.
5. Streak Threshold Multiplier
This numeric input determines how strong a streak must be before the script considers it a “safe” trend. A higher multiplier requires a longer or more intense streak for a buy or sell signal.
6. Dynamic Transparency Calculation
The color intensity adapts to the streak’s strength. Longer streaks increase the transparency of the opposing color, making the current dominant color stand out. This feature ensures that a vigorous uptrend or downtrend is visually distinct from short-lived or weaker moves.
7. Ribbon Moving Averages
In ribbon mode, the script calculates moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices. Each of these is optionally smoothed again if the second and/or third moving average layers are active. The final result is a ribbon of moving averages that helps confirm whether the market is uniformly aligned above or below these key reference points.
Calculation Methodology
1. Initial Moving Average
The script calculates the first moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) of the closing price over a user-defined period.
2. Optional Secondary and Tertiary Averages
If selected, the script then applies a second and/or third smoothing step. Each of these steps can be a different type of moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) with its own period length.
3. Streak Detection
The indicator counts consecutive bars above or below the smoothed moving average. A running total (streakUp or streakDown) increments with every bar that remains above or below that average.
4. Reversion Intensity
The script compares the current streak value to its own average (calculated over the final chosen period). This ratio determines whether the streak is nearing a likely reversion or is strong enough to continue.
5. Color Assignment and Signals
The indicator calculates color transparency based on streak intensity. Buy and sell signals appear when the streak meets or exceeds the threshold multiplier, indicating a safe uptrend or downtrend.
Color Schemes and Visualization
This indicator offers multiple predefined color sets. Each scheme specifies a unique bullish color, bearish color and neutral color. The script automatically varies transparency to highlight strong trends and fade weaker ones, making it visually clear when a trend is intensifying or losing momentum.
Smoothing Techniques
By allowing up to three layers of moving average smoothing, the indicator accommodates different trading styles. A single layer provides faster reactions to market changes, while more layers reduce noise at the cost of slower responsiveness. Traders can choose the right balance between responsiveness and stability for their strategy, whether it is short-term scalping or long-term trend following.
Why It Combines Specific Smoothing Techniques
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator strategically combines specific smoothing techniques—SMA, EMA, and WMA—to leverage their complementary strengths. The SMA provides stable and consistent trend identification by equally weighting all data points, while the EMA emphasizes recent price movements, allowing quicker responses to market changes. WMA enhances sensitivity to recent price shifts, which helps in detecting subtle momentum changes early. By integrating these methods in layers, the indicator effectively balances responsiveness with stability, helping traders clearly identify genuine trend changes while filtering out short-term noise and false signals.
Ribbon Mode
If Open, High, Low, and Close prices remain above or below their respective moving averages consistently, the script colors the bars fully bullish or bearish. When the data points are mixed, a neutral color is applied. This mode provides a thorough perspective on whether the entire price range is aligned in one direction or showing conflicting signals.
Summary
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion combines multiple moving averages, streak detection, and dynamic color adjustments to help traders identify significant trends and potential reversal areas. Its flexibility allows it to be used either in a simpler form, with one moving average and streak analysis, or in a more advanced configuration with ribbon mode that charts multiple smoothed averages for a deeper understanding of price alignment. By adapting color intensities based on streak strength and providing optional buy/sell signals, this indicator delivers a clear and flexible tool suited to various trading strategies.

Dual SuperTrend w VIX Filter - Strategy [presentTrading]Hey everyone! Haven't been here for a long time. Been so busy again in the past 2 months. I recently started working on analyzing the combination of trend strategy and VIX, but didn't get outstanding results after a few tries. Sharing this tool with all of you in case you have better insights.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The Dual SuperTrend with VIX Filter Strategy combines traditional trend following with market volatility analysis. Unlike conventional SuperTrend strategies that focus solely on price action, this experimental system incorporates VIX (Volatility Index) as an adaptive filter to create a more context-aware trading approach. By analyzing where current volatility stands relative to historical norms, the strategy adjusts to different market environments rather than applying uniform logic across all conditions.
BTCUSD 6hr Long Short Performance
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Dual SuperTrend Core
The strategy uses two SuperTrend indicators with different sensitivity settings:
- SuperTrend 1: Length = 13, Multiplier = 3.5
- SuperTrend 2: Length = 8, Multiplier = 5.0
The SuperTrend calculation follows this process:
1. ATR = Average of max(High-Low, |High-PreviousClose|, |Low-PreviousClose|) over 'length' periods
2. UpperBand = (High+Low)/2 - (Multiplier * ATR)
3. LowerBand = (High+Low)/2 + (Multiplier * ATR)
Trend direction is determined by:
- If Close > previous LowerBand, Trend = Bullish (1)
- If Close < previous UpperBand, Trend = Bearish (-1)
- Otherwise, Trend = previous Trend
🔶 VIX Analysis Framework
The core innovation lies in the VIX analysis system:
1. Statistical Analysis:
- VIX Mean = SMA(VIX, 252)
- VIX Standard Deviation = StdDev(VIX, 252)
- VIX Z-Score = (Current VIX - VIX Mean) / VIX StdDev
2. **Volatility Bands:
- Upper Band 1 = VIX Mean + (2 * VIX StdDev)
- Upper Band 2 = VIX Mean + (3 * VIX StdDev)
- Lower Band 1 = VIX Mean - (2 * VIX StdDev)
- Lower Band 2 = VIX Mean - (3 * VIX StdDev)
3. Volatility Regimes:
- "Very Low Volatility": VIX < Lower Band 1
- "Low Volatility": Lower Band 1 ≤ VIX < Mean
- "Normal Volatility": Mean ≤ VIX < Upper Band 1
- "High Volatility": Upper Band 1 ≤ VIX < Upper Band 2
- "Extreme Volatility": VIX ≥ Upper Band 2
4. VIX Trend Detection:
- VIX EMA = EMA(VIX, 10)
- VIX Rising = VIX > VIX EMA
- VIX Falling = VIX < VIX EMA
Local performance:
🔶 Entry Logic Integration
The strategy combines trend signals with volatility filtering:
Long Entry Condition:
- Both SuperTrend 1 AND SuperTrend 2 must be bullish (trend = 1)
- AND selected VIX filter condition must be satisfied
Short Entry Condition:
- Both SuperTrend 1 AND SuperTrend 2 must be bearish (trend = -1)
- AND selected VIX filter condition must be satisfied
Available VIX filter rules include:
- "Below Mean + SD": VIX < Lower Band 1
- "Below Mean": VIX < VIX Mean
- "Above Mean": VIX > VIX Mean
- "Above Mean + SD": VIX > Upper Band 1
- "Falling VIX": VIX < VIX EMA
- "Rising VIX": VIX > VIX EMA
- "Any": No VIX filtering
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows testing in three modes:
1. **Long Only:** Test volatility effects on uptrends only
2. **Short Only:** Examine volatility's impact on downtrends only
3. **Both (Default):** Compare how volatility affects both trend directions
This enables comparative analysis of how volatility regimes impact bullish versus bearish markets differently.
█ Usage
Use this strategy as an experimental framework:
1. Form a hypothesis about how volatility affects trend reliability
2. Configure VIX filters to test your specific hypothesis
3. Analyze performance across different volatility regimes
4. Compare results between uptrends and downtrends
5. Refine your volatility filtering approach based on results
6. Share your findings with the trading community
This framework allows you to investigate questions like:
- Are uptrends more reliable during rising or falling volatility?
- Do downtrends perform better when volatility is above or below its historical average?
- Should different volatility filters be applied to long vs. short positions?
█ Default Settings
The default settings serve as a starting point for exploration:
SuperTrend Parameters:
- SuperTrend 1 (Length=13, Multiplier=3.5): More responsive to trend changes
- SuperTrend 2 (Length=8, Multiplier=5.0): More selective filter requiring stronger trends
VIX Analysis Settings:
- Lookback Period = 252: Establishes a full market cycle for volatility context
- Standard Deviation Bands = 2 and 3 SD: Creates statistically significant regime boundaries
- VIX Trend Period = 10: Balances responsiveness with noise reduction
Default VIX Filter Selection:
- Long Entry: "Above Mean" - Tests if uptrends perform better during above-average volatility
- Short Entry: "Rising VIX" - Tests if downtrends accelerate when volatility is increasing

Color Themed Guppy Multiple Moving Average
========== TLDR ==========
The "Color Themed Guppy Multiple Moving Average" plots a group of 6 Moving Averages on your chart with a selection of color themes to automatically style the different length Moving Average lines. As someone who struggles with screens and colors on a busy chart, this indicator has helped me a lot in quickly identifying which Moving Average price is respecting the most - giving me better signals for trade entries and trend loss.
========== Key Features and Advantages ==========
- Show different length Moving Averages with a single indicator
- quickly make your chart more readable with 12 different color themes
- The themes will color the Moving Averages with a gradient (light - dark), with a lighter color indicating a shorter length or 'faster' Moving Average
- Select the type of Moving Average you would like to use
========== Use Cases ==========
Identify Specific Length Moving Averages That are Acting as Support or Resistance:
Having each Moving Average coloured by a theme makes it easier to track each individual line with your eyes, making it easier to quickly find the Moving Averages that price is respecting the most for a given asset and/or trend.
Get Bias Quickly:
When all 6 of the Moving Averages are 'stacked' on top of each other in order, and all are angled either up or down, it can provide a useful bias for the market on your timeframe.
For example, If the fastest (smallest length) Moving Averages are angled up and sitting above the slower (largest length) Moving Averages, it may indicate that a 'long' bias would be preferable for any trades.
Having a color gradient from the themes makes it much easier to see when the Moving Average lines are "stacked" in order.
Identify Turning Points:
When the faster (smallest length) Moving Averages start to cross over the slower (largest length) Moving Averages, it may indicate a potential price/trend reversal.
Again, having a color gradient from the themes makes it much easier to spot this
========== Theme Options ==========
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Teal
- Light Blue
- Blue
- Violet
- Purple
- Pink
- Rainbow - Solid
- Rainbow - Light

This indicator allows you to compare the real-time price difference (spread) between two assets. It is particularly useful for spotting arbitrage opportunities or price discrepancies between different markets.
💡 Why is this useful?
This tool is especially practical for monitoring the gap between CME futures and the spot market. If the spread becomes too large, we can expect the market to rebalance, which can help anticipate potential price movements.
📌 Features:
✅ Compare two assets of your choice (default: BTC CME vs. BTC OANDA).
✅ Displays the spread as a real-time value on the chart.
✅ Customizable threshold for alerts when the spread exceeds a certain value.
✅ Visual alert: The label changes color and an alert icon appears when the threshold is exceeded.
✅ Adjustable label position to avoid obstructing candlestick wicks.
🛠️ How to Use:
1️⃣ Choose the asset to compare (for example, BTC CME).
2️⃣ Select the main chart (the one you are currently viewing, such as BTC OANDA).
3️⃣ Set the alert threshold (the spread value that will trigger an alert).
4️⃣ Adjust the label position using the offset settings if needed.
5️⃣ When the spread exceeds the threshold, an alert will be displayed!
-------------------------------------------------

Neural Pulse System [Alpha Extract]Neural Pulse System (NPS)
The Neural Pulse System (NPS) is a custom technical indicator that analyzes price action through a probabilistic lens, offering a dynamic view of bullish and bearish tendencies.
Unlike traditional binary classification models, NPS employs Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression with dynamically computed coefficients to produce a smooth probability output ranging from -1 to 1.
Paired with ATR-based bands, this indicator provides an intuitive and volatility-aware approach to trend analysis.
🔶 CALCULATION
The Neural Pulse System utilizes OLS regression to compute probabilities of bullish or bearish price action while incorporating ATR-based bands for volatility context:
Dynamic Coefficients: Coefficients are recalculated in real-time and scaled up to ensure the regression adapts to evolving market conditions.
Ordinary Least Squares (OLS): Uses OLS regression instead of gradient descent for more precise and efficient coefficient estimation.
ATR Bands: Smoothed Average True Range (ATR) bands serve as dynamic boundaries, framing the regression within market volatility.
Probability Output: Instead of a binary result, the output is a continuous probability curve (-1 to 1), helping traders gauge the strength of bullish or bearish momentum.
Formula:
OLS Regression = Line of best fit minimizing squared errors
Probability Signal = Transformed regression output scaled to -1 (bearish) to 1 (bullish)
ATR Bands = Smoothed Average True Range (ATR) to frame price movements within market volatility
🔶 DETAILS
📊 Visual Features:
Probability Curve: Smooth probability signal ranging from -1 (bearish) to 1 (bullish)
ATR Bands: Price action is constrained within volatility bands, preventing extreme deviations
Color-Coded Signals:
Blue to Green: Increasing probability of bullish momentum
Orange to Red: Increasing probability of bearish momentum
Interpretation:
Bullish Bias: Probability output consistently above 0 suggests a bullish trend.
Bearish Bias: Probability output consistently below 0 indicates bearish pressure.
Reversals: Extreme values near -1 or 1, followed by a move toward 0, may signal potential trend reversals.
🔶 EXAMPLES
📌 Trend Identification: Use the probability output to gauge trend direction.
📌Example: On a 1-hour chart, NPS moves from -0.5 to 0.8 as price breaks resistance, signaling a bullish trend.
Reversal Signals: Watch for probability extremes near -1 or 1 followed by a reversal toward 0.
Example: NPS hits 0.9, price touches the upper ATR band, then both retreat—indicating a potential pullback.
📌 Example snapshots:
Volatility Context: ATR bands help assess whether price action aligns with typical market conditions.
Example: During low volatility, the probability signal hovers near 0, and ATR bands tighten, suggesting a potential breakout.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
ATR Period – Defines lookback length for ATR calculation (shorter = more responsive, longer = smoother).
ATR Multiplier – Adjusts band width for better volatility capture.
Regression Length – Controls how many bars feed into the coefficient calculation (longer = smoother, shorter = more reactive).
Scaling Factor – Adjusts the strength of regression coefficients.
Output Smoothing – Option to apply a moving average for a cleaner probability curve
Whale Buy Activity Detector (Real-Time)Whale Buy Activity Detector (Real-Time)
This indicator helps to identify abnormal spikes in the volume of purchases, which may indicate the activity of large players ("whales"). It analyzes the volume of purchases and compares it with the average volume over a certain period of time. If the volume of purchases exceeds a set threshold, the indicator marks this as potential whale activity.
Basic parameters:
Volume Threshold (x Average): The coefficient by which the current purchase volume must exceed the average volume in order to be considered abnormal. The default value is 2.0, which means that the purchase volume should be 2 times the average volume for the selected time period. This parameter can be adjusted in the range from 1.0 and higher in increments of 0.1.
Example: If you set the value to 1.5, the indicator will mark situations when the volume of purchases exceeds the average volume by 1.5 times.
Lookback Period: The time period used to calculate the average purchase volume. The default value is 20, which means that the average purchase volume will be calculated for the last 20 candles. This parameter can be set in the range from 1 and above.Example: If you set the value to 10, the average purchase volume will be calculated for the last 10 candles.
How to use:
Buy Volume: Shows the volume of purchases on each candle. This is the volume that was sold at a price higher than the opening price of the candle.
Average Buy Volume: The average volume of purchases over a given time period (Lookback Period). This parameter helps to determine the "normal" level of purchase volume.
Whale Buy: Notes abnormal spikes in the volume of purchases, which may indicate the activity of "whales". The indicator draws a mark on the top of the candle when the purchase volume exceeds the threshold set by the Volume Threshold parameter.
Notifications:
The indicator can send notifications when an abnormal volume of purchases is detected. You can set up notifications via the TradingView menu to receive real-time alerts.
Usage example:
If you are trading in a highly volatile market, you can increase the Volume Threshold to filter out small volume spikes.
If you trade in a low-volatility market, you can reduce the Volume Threshold to capture even small anomalies.
Momentum Candle Identifier # Momentum Candle Identifier
This indicator helps traders identify significant momentum candles by analyzing candle body size relative to recent price action (think after consolidation periods). Unlike traditional volatility indicators, this tool specifically focuses on price movement captured by the candle body (open to close distance), filtering out potentially misleading wicks.
## How It Works
- The indicator calculates the average candle body size over a user-defined lookback period
- Momentum candles are identified when their body size exceeds the average by a customizable threshold multiplier
- Bullish momentum candles (close > open) are highlighted in a user defined color
- Bearish momentum candles (close < open) are highlighted in a user defined color
- A real-time information panel displays key metrics including current average body size and threshold values
## Key Features
- Focus on candle body size rather than full range (high to low)
- Custom lookback period to adapt to different timeframes
- Adjustable threshold multiplier to fine-tune sensitivity
- Customizable colors for bullish and bearish momentum candles
- Optional labels for momentum candles
- Information panel showing lookback settings, average size, and momentum candle count
## Usage Tips
- Use shorter lookback periods (3-5) for more signals in choppy markets
- Use longer lookback periods (8-20) to identify only the most significant momentum moves
- Higher threshold multipliers (2.0+) will identify only the strongest momentum candles
- Combine with trend indicators to find potential reversal or continuation signals
- Look for clusters of momentum candles to identify strong shifts in market sentiment
This indicator helps identify candles that represent significant price movement relative to recent activity, potentially signaling changes in market momentum, sentiment shifts, or the beginning of new trends.
Simple Gap IndicatorThe Simple Gap Indicator is a powerful tool designed to detect and visualize price gaps in the market, helping traders identify key levels of support and resistance.

Liquidity Location Detector [BigBeluga]
This indicator helps traders identify potential liquidity zones by detecting significant volume levels at key highs and lows. By using color intensity and scoring numbers, it visually highlights areas where liquidity concentration may be highest while incorporating trend analysis through EMAs.
🔵Key Features:
Liquidity Zone Detection: Automatically detects and marks areas where significant volume has accumulated at swing highs and lows.
Dynamic Box Plotting: Draws liquidity boxes at key highs and lows, updating based on market conditions.
Volume Strength Scaling: Uses a scoring system to rank liquidity zones, helping traders identify the strongest areas.
Color Intensity for Volume Strength: More transperent color indicate less liquidity, while less transperent represent stronger volume concentrations.
Customizable Display: Users can adjust the number of displayed liquidity zones and modify colors to suit their trading style.
Real-Time Liquidity Adaptation: As price interacts with liquidity zones, the indicator updates dynamically to reflect changing market conditions.
Auto-Stopping Liquidity Zones: Liquidity boxes automatically stop extending to the right once price crosses them, preventing outdated zones from interfering with live market action.
Trend Analysis with EMAs: Includes two optional EMAs (fast and slow) to help traders analyze market trends. Users can enable or disable these EMAs in the settings and use crossover signals for trend confirmation.
🔵Usage:
Identify Key Liquidity Areas: Use color intensity and transparency levels to determine high-impact liquidity zones.
Support & Resistance Confirmation: Liquidity zones can act as potential support and resistance levels, enhancing trade decision-making.
Market Structure Analysis: Observe how price interacts with liquidity to anticipate breakout or reversal points.
Scalping & Swing Trading: Works for both short-term and long-term traders looking for liquidity-based trade setups.
Liquidation Map Insight: A liquidity map highlights areas where large amounts of leveraged positions (both long and short) are likely to get liquidated. Since many traders use leverage, sharp price movements can trigger a cascade of liquidations, leading to rapid price surges or drops. Monitoring these liquidity zones and trends helps traders anticipate where price might react strongly.
Liquidity Location Detector is an essential tool for traders seeking to map out potential liquidity zones, providing deeper insights into market structure and trading volume dynamics.
BTC-USDT Liquidity Trend [Ajit Pandit]his script helps traders visualize trend direction and identify liquidity zones where price might react due to past pivot levels. The color-coded candles and extended pivot lines make it easier to spot support/resistance levels and potential breakout points.
Key Features:
1. Trend Detection Using EMA
Uses two EMA calculations to determine the trend:
emaValue: Standard EMA based on length1
correction: Adjusted price movement relative to EMA
Trend: Another EMA of the corrected value
Determines bullish (signalUp) and bearish (signalDn) signals when Trend crosses emaValue.
2. Candlestick Coloring Based on Trend
Candlesticks are colored:
Uptrend → Blue (up color)
Downtrend → Pink (dn color)
Neutral → No color
3. Liquidity Zones (Pivot Highs & Lows)
Identifies pivot highs and lows using a customizable pivot length.
Draws liquidity lines:
High pivot lines (Blue, adjustable width)
Low pivot lines (Pink, adjustable width)
Extends lines indefinitely until price breaks above/below the level.
Removes broken pivot levels dynamically.
Median Volume Weighted DeviationMVWD (Median Volume Weighted Deviation)
The Median Volume-Weighted Deviation is a technical trend following indicator that overlays dynamic bands on the price chart, centered around a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). By incorporating volume-weighted standard deviation and its median, it identifies potential overbought and oversold conditions, generating buy and sell signals based on price interactions with the bands. The fill color between the bands visually reflects the current signal, enhancing market sentiment analysis.
How it Works
VWAP Calculation: Computes the Volume-Weighted Average Price over a specific lookback period (n), emphasizing price levels with higher volume.
Volume Weighted Standard Deviation: Measures price dispersion around the VWAP, weighted by volume, over the same period.
Median Standard Deviation: Applies a median filter over (m) periods to smooth the stand deviation, reducing noise in volatility estimates.
Bands: Constructs upper and lower bands by adding and subtracting a multiplier (k) times the median standard deviation from the VWAP
Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggers when the closing price crosses above the upper band.
Sell Signal: Triggers when the closing price crosses below the lower band.
Inputs
Lookback (n): Number of periods for the VWAP and standard deviation calculations. Default is set to 14.
Median Standard Deviation (m): Periods for the median standard deviation. Default is set to 2.
Standard Deviation Multiplier (k): Multiplier to adjust band width. Default is set to 1.7 with a step of 0.1.
Customization
Increase the Lookback (n) for a smoother VWAP and broader perspective, or decrease the value for higher sensitivity.
Adjust Median Standard Deviation (m) to control the smoothness of the standard deviation filter.
Modify the multiplier (k) to widen or narrow the bands based on the market volatility preferences.
Heikin-Ashi Reversals with Region & DotsIf you want to use Heiken Ashi candles as a way to screen for bullish and bearish reversal.
Green background is stay long and strong. Red background = potential top or bearish continuation.
Yellow dots show strong red heiken ashi candles with small upside wicks. The next candle determines whether it should be green or red. If next heiken ashi candle closes above the current candle = green, bull trend still in line. If next heiken ashi candle closes below, then time to sell
[GYTS] Ultimate Smoother (3-poles + 2 poles)Ultimate Smoother (3-pole)
🌸 Part of GoemonYae Trading System (GYTS) 🌸
🌸 --------- INTRODUCTION --------- 🌸
💮 Release of 3-Pole Ultimate Smoother
This indicator presents a new 3-pole version of John Ehlers' Ultimate Smoother (2024) . This results in an unconventional filter that exhibits effectively zero lag in practical trading applications, regardless of the set period. By using a 2-pole high-pass filter in its design, it responds to price direction changes on the same bar, while still allowing the user to control smoothness.
💮 What is the Ultimate Smoother?
The original Ultimate Smoother is a revolutionary filter designed by John Ehlers (2024) that smooths price data with virtually zero lag in the pass band. While conventional filters always introduce lag when removing market noise, the Ultimate Smoother maintains phase alignment at low frequencies while still providing excellent noise reduction.
💮 Mathematical Foundation
The Ultimate Smoother achieves its remarkable properties through a clever mathematical approach:
1. Instead of directly designing a low-pass filter (like traditional moving averages), it subtracts a high-pass filter from an all-pass filter (the original input data).
2. At very low frequencies, the high-pass filter contributes almost nothing, so the output closely matches the input in both amplitude and phase.
3. At higher frequencies, the high-pass filter's response increasingly matches the input data, resulting in cancellation through subtraction.
The 3-pole version extends this principle by using a higher-order high-pass filter, requiring additional coefficients and handling more terms in the numerator of the transfer function.
🌸 --------- USAGE GUIDE --------- 🌸
💮 Period Parameter Behaviour
The period parameter in the 3-pole Ultimate Smoother works somewhat counterintuitively:
- Longer periods: Result in less smooth, but more responsive following of the price. The filter output more closely tracks the input data.
- Shorter periods: Produce smoother output but may exhibit overshooting (extrapolating price movement) for larger movements.
This is different from most filters where longer periods typically produce smoother outputs with more lag.
💮 When to Choose 3-Pole vs. 2-Pole
- Choose the 3-pole version when you need zero-lag but want to control the smoothness
- Choose the 2-pole version when you are okay with some lag with the benefit of more smoothness.
🌸 --------- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS --------- 🌸
This indicator builds upon the pioneering work of John Ehlers, particularly from his article April 2024 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . The original version is published on TradingView by @PineCodersTASC .
This 3-pole extension was developed by @GoemonYae . Feedback is highly appreciated!
