Consolidation Zones[RanaAlgo]Overview
This indicator helps traders identify price consolidation zones (ranges) and potential breakouts in the market. It is useful for spotting periods of low volatility before significant price movements.
How It Works
Detects Consolidation Zones
Uses the ADX (Average Directional Index) to determine when the market is in a consolidation phase .
When ADX is below the threshold , the indicator marks the start of a consolidation zone.
Draws a semi-transparent box around the price range, adjusting its height as new highs/lows form.
Tracks Breakouts
When price breaks above/below the consolidation box, it signals a potential trend continuation.
Displays breakout arrows/labels (configurable shape & style) when price exits the range.
Visual Features
Boxes highlight consolidation areas (customizable color, border, and style).
Labels show real-time status ("CONSOLIDATING" or "TRENDING").
Breakout signals appear as arrows or shapes (up/down).
Usefulness in Trading
Range Trading: Helps traders identify sideways markets for buying low and selling high.
Breakout Trading: Signals potential trend entries when price exits consolidation.
Trend Confirmation: Low ADX + consolidation box = weak trend; breakout = possible trend start.
Example: If price stays in a blue box (consolidation) and then breaks above with an arrow, it suggests a bullish move.

Trend Flow Trail [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script overlays a custom hybrid indicator called the Money Flow Trail which combines a volatility-based trend-following trail with a volume-weighted momentum oscillator. It’s built around two core components: the AlphaTrail—a dynamic band system influenced by Hull MA and volatility—and a smoothed Money Flow Index (MFI) that provides insights into buying or selling pressure. Together, these tools are used to color bars, generate potential reversal markers, and assist traders in identifying trend continuation or exhaustion phases in any market or timeframe.
CONCEPTS
The AlphaTrail calculates a volatility-adjusted channel around price using the Hull Moving Average as the base and an EMA of range as the spread. It adaptively shifts based on price interaction to capture trend reversals while avoiding whipsaws. The direction (bullish or bearish) determines both the band being tracked and how the trail locks in. The Money Flow Index (MFI) is derived from hlc3 and volume, measuring buying vs selling pressure, and is further smoothed with a short Hull MA to reduce noise while preserving structure. These two systems work in tandem: AlphaTrail governs directional context, while MFI refines the timing.
FEATURES
Dynamic AlphaTrail line with regime switching logic that controls directional bias and bar coloring.
Smoothed MFI with gradient coloring to visually communicate pressure and exhaustion levels.
Overbought/oversold thresholds (80/20), mid-level (50), and custom extreme zones (90/10) for deeper signal granularity.
Built-in take-profit signal logic: crossover of MFI into overbought with bullish AlphaTrail, or into oversold with bearish AlphaTrail.
Visual fills between price and AlphaTrail for clearer confirmation during trend phases.
Alerts for regime shifts, MFI crossovers, trail interactions, and bar color regime changes.
USAGE
Add the indicator to any chart. Use the AlphaTrail plot to define trend context: bullish (trailing below price) or bearish (trailing above). MFI values give supporting confirmation—favor long setups when MFI is rising and above 50 in a bullish regime, and shorts when MFI is falling and below 50 in a bearish regime. The colored fills help visually track strength; sharp changes in MFI crossing 80/20 or 90/10 zones often precede pullbacks or reversals. Use the plotted circles as optional take-profit signals when MFI and trend are extended. Adjust AlphaTrail length/multiplier and MFI smoothing to better match the asset’s volatility profile.
Anti-SMT + FVG SignalMade by Laila
Anti-SMT + FVG Strategy
A contrarian price-action strategy that combines SMT illusion with Fair Value Gap (FVG) confirmation and multiple filters.
Strategy Concept
This strategy challenges traditional SMT divergence logic. Instead of entering trades based on expected SMT divergence between correlated pairs (e.g., EURUSD and DXY), it assumes the divergence is false and will reverse. The concept is to take advantage of these false signals, also known as "SMT illusions."
To confirm the setup, the strategy integrates Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), which are price imbalances left unfilled between candle 1 and 3.
Anti-SMT Logic
Short Entry:
EURUSD makes a new high (Candle 1)
DXY does not make a new low
Long Entry:
EURUSD makes a new low (Candle 1)
DXY does not make a new high
This divergence is considered false, and the strategy expects a reversal.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Confirmation
A trade is only triggered if the price touches a Fair Value Gap during:
Candle 1 (the candle that forms the SMT illusion), or
Candle 2 (entry confirmation)
This helps avoid low-quality setups and increases entry precision.
Additional Filters
To improve robustness and prevent overfitting, the strategy includes:
EMA Trend Filter:
Long entries are allowed only if price is above the 50 EMA
Short entries are allowed only if price is below the 50 EMA
Time Filter:
Trades are only permitted between 08:00 and 18:00 UTC
Cooldown Filter:
A minimum of 10 candles between trades is required to prevent overtrading
Strategy Parameters and Defaults
Optimized for EURUSD on the 4-hour (4H) timeframe
Includes realistic commission and slippage
Uses conservative position sizing (e.g., 1% per trade)
Backtesting over hundreds of trades shows approximately 57% win rate under default conditions
These results are historical and do not guarantee future performance
Purpose and Value
This strategy offers a structured and logical approach to contrarian trading by:
Introducing the concept of false SMT divergence
Using price inefficiencies (FVGs) as confirmation
Filtering trades with realistic and widely accepted conditions
Encouraging quality over quantity through strict entry rules
It is not a simple mashup but a well-defined trading system that blends institutional concepts in a usable framework.
Candle Range Detector by TradeTech AnalysisCandle Range Detector by TradeTech Analysis
This advanced indicator identifies and visualizes price compression zones based on inside bar formations, then tracks how price behaves around those zones — offering valuable insights into liquidity sweeps, range expansions, and trap/mitigation behavior.
The script builds upon the foundational concept of range-based price action, commonly used by institutional traders, and adds automation, mitigation tracking, and sweep detection to map how price reacts around these critical ranges.
🔍 How It Works:
• Range Formation: A new range is detected when the current candle forms entirely within the high and low of the previous candle (i.e., an inside bar). This behavior often indicates price compression and potential breakout zones.
• Range Extension: Once a range is confirmed, the script projects upper and lower boundaries (using either a percentage-based multiplier or Fibonacci log extension), providing context for expected breakout zones.
• Mitigation Tracking: The script continuously monitors whether price breaks above or below the projected extensions, marking that range as mitigated — useful for confirming whether liquidity was absorbed.
• Sweep Detection: If price re-visits a mitigated zone and shows signs of a liquidity sweep (via wick + close behavior), the indicator triggers visual sweep labels and optional alerts.
🧠 Optional Visual Enhancements:
• Highlight range-forming candles with light blue background (toggle on/off)
• Midpoint dotted line for symmetry analysis
• Labels for “Range High” and “Range Low” for visual clarity
• Dynamic box drawing that adapts upon mitigation or continuation
⚙️ Customizable Features:
• Choose between Normal and Fibonacci-based detection modes
• Toggle visibility of range boxes, extension lines, and sweep markers
• Configure sweep alerts, mitigation window size, and visual transparency
⸻
🧪 Use Cases
• Identify consolidation zones before major price moves
• Confirm liquidity sweeps for entry/exit traps
• Visualize and test mitigation behavior of past zones
• Combine with Order Flow or Volume Profile tools to enhance context
⸻
⚠️ This is a fully original implementation that goes beyond classical inside-bar scanners by incorporating mitigation, extension projection, and liquidity sweeps — making it a powerful tool for intraday, swing, and even Smart Money-based trading setups.
Deviation Trend Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A statistical trend analysis tool that combines moving average dynamics with standard deviation zones and trend-specific price distribution.
This is an experimental indicator designed for educational and learning purposes only.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Trend Detection via SMA Slope: Detects trend shifts when the slope of the SMA exceeds a ±0.1 threshold.
Standard Deviation Zones: Calculates ±1, ±2, and ±3 levels from the SMA using ATR, forming dynamic envelopes around the mean.
Trend Distribution Profile: Builds a histogram that shows how often price closed within each deviation zone during the active trend phase.
🔵 FEATURES
Trend Signals: Immediate shift markers using colored circles at trend reversals.
SMA Gradient Coloring: The SMA line dynamically changes color based on its directional slope.
Trend Duration Label: A label above the histogram shows how many bars the current trend has lasted.
Trend Distribution Histogram: Visual bin-based profile showing frequency of price closes within deviation bands during trend lookback period.
Adjustable Bin Count: Set the granularity of the distribution using the “Bins Amount” input.
Deviation Labels and Zones: Clearly marked ±1, ±2, ±3 lines with consistent color scheme.
Trend Strength Insight:
• Wide profile skewed to ±2/3 = strong directional trend.
• Profile clustered near SMA = potential trend exhaustion or range.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use trend shift dots as entry signals:
• 🔵 = Bullish start
• 🔴 = Bearish start
Trade with the trend when price clusters in outer zones (±2 or ±3).
Be cautious or fade the trend when price distribution contracts toward the SMA.
View across multiple timeframes for trend confluence or divergence.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Deviation Trend Profile visualizes how price distributes during trends relative to statistical deviation zones.
It’s a powerful confluence tool for identifying strength, exhaustion, and the rhythm of price behavior—ideal for swing traders and volatility analysts alike.
S&P Power Hour Liquidity Sweep StrategyThis indicator is designed for intraday traders who want to take advantage of liquidity grabs, break of structure (BOS), and optimal entry points during the most volatile hours of the trading day: the NYSE Power Hours (09:30–10:30 AM and 02:30–04:00 PM EST).
Key Features:
Power Hour Detection:
Automatically identifies the two most liquid hours of the trading session.
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
Highlights when price sweeps a recent swing high or low — a common trap before reversals.
Break of Structure (BOS):
Confirms trend shift after a liquidity sweep with smart money-style BOS markers.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Highlighting: (Optional)
Spot institutional imbalances between candles to fine-tune trade entries.
How It Works:
Wait for price to sweep a swing high or low during the power hours.
Look for a break of structure (BOS) in the opposite direction.
Enter on the next candle or FVG retest.
The indicator will plot a yellow circle for entry, a red line for stop, and a green line for the target (based on your RR setting).
Customizable Inputs:

Risk-to-reward ratio
Optional FVG visibility
Best Used With:
Higher timeframe bias (15m/1H)
Order blocks or volume analysis
Avoiding major news events
Whether you're a scalper or precision-based intraday trader, this tool helps you spot high-probability reversal setups with clean visuals and clear confirmations.
MTF RSI MA System + Adaptive BandsMTF RSI MA System + Adaptive Bands
Overview
MTF RSI MA System + Adaptive Bands is a highly customizable Pine Script indicator for traders seeking a versatile tool for multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis. Unlike traditional RSI, it focuses on the Moving Average of RSI (RSI MA), delivering smoother and more flexible trading signals. The main screenshot displays the indicator in two panels to showcase its diverse capabilities.
Important: Timeframes do not adjust automatically – users must manually set them to match the chart’s timeframe.
Features
Core Component: Built around RSI MA, not raw RSI, for smoother trend signals.
Multi-Timeframe: Analyze RSI MA across three customizable timeframes (default: 4H, 8H, 12H).
Adaptive Bands: Three band calculation methods (Fixed, Percent, StdDev) for dynamic signals.
Flexible Signals: Generated via RSI MA crossovers, band interactions, or directional alignment across timeframes.
Background Coloring: Highlights when RSI MAs across timeframes move in the same direction, aiding trend confirmation.
Screenshot Panels Configuration
Upper Panel: Shows RSI, RSI MA, and fixed bands for reversal strategies (RSI crossing bands).
Lower Panel: Displays three RSI MAs (Alligator-style) for trend-following, with background coloring for directional alignment.
Band Calculation Methods
The indicator offers three ways to calculate bands around RSI MA, each with unique characteristics:
Fixed Bands
Set at a fixed point value (default: 10) above and below RSI MA.
Example: If RSI MA = 50, band value = 10 → upper band = 60, lower = 40.
Use Case: Best for stable markets or fixed-range preferences.
Tip: Adjust the band value to widen or narrow the range based on asset volatility.
Percent Bands
Calculated as a percentage of RSI MA (default: 10%).
Example: If RSI MA = 50, band value = 10% → upper band = 55, lower = 45.
Use Case: Ideal for assets with varying volatility, as bands scale with RSI MA.
Tip: Experiment with percentage values to match typical price swings.
Standard Deviation Bands (StdDev)
Based on RSI’s standard deviation over the MA period, multiplied by a user-defined factor (default: 10).
Example: If RSI MA = 50, standard deviation = 5, factor = 2 → upper band = 60, lower = 40.
Important: The default value (10) may produce wide bands. Reduce to 1–2 for tighter, practical bands.
Use Case: Best for dynamic markets with fluctuating volatility.
Configuration Options
RSI Length: Set RSI calculation period (default: 20).
MA Length: Set RSI MA period (default: 20).
MA Type: Choose SMA or EMA for RSI MA (default: EMA).
Timeframes: Configure three timeframes (default: 4H, 8H, 12H) for MTF analysis.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Optionally display fixed levels (default: 70/30).
Background Coloring: Enable/disable for each timeframe to highlight directional alignment.
How to Use
Add Indicator: Load it onto your TradingView chart.
Setup:
Reversals: Configure like the upper panel (RSI, RSI MA, bands) and watch for RSI crossing bands.
Trends: Configure like the lower panel (three RSI MAs) and look for fastest MA crossovers and background coloring.
Adjust Timeframes: Manually set tf1, tf2, tf3 (e.g., 1H, 2H, 4H on a 1H chart) to suit your strategy.
Adjust Bands: Choose band type (Fixed, Percent, StdDev) and value. For StdDev, reduce to 1–2 for tighter bands.
Experiment: Test settings to match your trading style, whether scalping, swing trading, or long-term.
Notes
Timeframes: Always match tf1, tf2, tf3 to your chart’s needs, as they don’t auto-adjust.
StdDev Bands: Lower the default value (10) to avoid overly wide bands.
Versatility: Works across markets (stocks, forex, crypto).
Market Matrix ViewThis technical indicator is designed to provide traders with a quick and integrated view of market dynamics by combining several popular indicators into a single tool. It's not a magic bullet, but a practical aid for analyzing buying/selling pressure, trends, volume, and divergences, saving you time in the decision-making process. Built for flexibility, the indicator adapts to various trading styles (scalping, swing, or long-term) and offers customizable settings to suit your needs.
🟡 Multi-Timeframe Trends
➤ This section displays the trend direction (bullish, bearish, or neutral) across 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and Daily timeframes, providing multi-timeframe market context. Timeframes lower than the one currently selected will show "N/A."
➤It utilizes fast and slow Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) for each timeframe:
15m: Fast EMA 42, Slow EMA 170
1h: Fast EMA 40, Slow EMA 100
4h: Fast EMA 36, Slow EMA 107
Daily: Fast EMA 20, Slow EMA 60
🟡 Smart Flow & RVOL
➤ This section displays "Buying Pressure" or "Selling Pressure" signals based on indicator confluence, alongside volume activity ("High Activity," "Normal Activity," or "Low Activity").
➤ Smart Flow combines Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and Money Flow Index (MFI) to detect buying/selling pressure. CMF measures money flow based on price position within the high-low range, while MFI analyzes money flow considering typical price and volume. A signal is generated only when both indicators simultaneously increase/decrease beyond an adjustable threshold ("Buy/Sell Sensitivity") and volume exceeds a Simple Moving Average (SMA) scaled by the "Volume Multiplier."
➤ RVOL (Relative Volume) calculates relative volume separately for bullish and bearish candles, comparing recent volume (fast SMA) with a reference volume (slow SMA). Thresholds are adjusted based on the selected mode.
🟡 ADX & RSI
This section displays trend strength ("Strong," "Moderate," or "Weak"), its direction ("Bullish" or "Bearish"), and the RSI momentum status ("Overbought," "Oversold," "Buy/Sell Momentum," or "Neutral").
➤ ADX (Average Directional Index) measures trend strength (above 40 = "Strong," 20–40 = "Moderate," below 20 = "Weak"). Direction is determined by comparing +DI (upward movement) with -DI (downward movement). Additionally, an arrow indicates whether the trend's strength is decreasing or increasing.
➤RSI (Relative Strength Index) evaluates price momentum. Extreme levels (above 80/85 = "Overbought," below 15/20 = "Oversold") and intermediate zones (47–53 = "Neutral," above 53 = "Buy Momentum," below 47 = "Sell Momentum") are adjusted based on the selected mode.
🟡 When these signals are active for a potential trade setup, the table's background lights up green or red, respectively.
🟡 Volume Spikes
➤This feature highlights bars with significantly higher volume than the recent average, coloring them yellow on the chart to draw attention to intense market activity.
➤It uses the Z-Score method to detect volume anomalies. Current volume is compared to a 10-bar Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the standard deviation of volume over the same period. If the Z-Score exceeds a certain threshold, the bar is marked as a volume spike.
🟡 Divergences (Volume Divergence Detection)
➤ This feature marks divergences between price and technical indicators on the chart, using diamond-shaped labels (green for bullish divergences, red for bearish divergences) to signal potential trend reversals.
➤ It compares price deviations from a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with deviations of three indicators: Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), Money Flow Index (MFI), and On-Balance Volume (OBV). A bullish divergence occurs when price falls below its average, but CMF, MFI, and OBV rise above their averages, indicating hidden accumulation. A bearish divergence occurs when price rises above its average, but CMF, MFI, and OBV fall, suggesting distribution. The length of the moving averages is adjustable (default 13/10/5 bars for Scalping/Balanced/Swing), and detection thresholds are scaled by "Divergence Sensitivity" (default 1.0).
🟡 Adaptive Stop-Loss (ATR)
➤Draws dynamic stop-loss lines (red, dashed) on the chart for buy or sell signals, helping traders manage risk.Uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate stop-loss levels, set at low/high ± ATR × multiplier
🟡 Alerts for trend direction changes in the Info Panel:
➤ Triggers notifications when the trend shifts to Bullish (when +DI crosses above -DI) or Bearish (when +DI crosses below -DI), helping you stay informed about key market shifts.
How to use: Set alerts in Trading View for “Trend Changed to Bullish” or “Trend Changed to Bearish” with “Once Per Bar Close” for reliable signals.
🟡 Settings (Inputs)
➤ The indicator offers customizable settings to fit your trading style, but it's already optimized for Scalping (1m–15m), Balanced (16m–3h59m), and Swing (4h–Daily) modes, which automatically adjust based on the selected timeframe. The visible inputs allow you to adjust the following parameters:
Show Info Panel: Enables/disables the information panel (default: enabled).
Show Volume Spikes: Turns on/off coloring for volume spike bars (default: enabled).
Spike Sensitivity: Controls the Z-Score threshold for detecting volume spikes (default: 2.0; lower values increase signal frequency).
Show Divergence: Enables/disables the display of divergence labels (default: enabled).
Divergence Sensitivity: Adjusts the thresholds for divergence detection (default: 1.0; higher values reduce sensitivity).
Divergence Lookback Length: Sets the length of the moving averages used for divergences (default: 5, automatically adjusted to 13/10/5 for Scalping/Balanced/Swing).
RVOL Reference Period: Defines the reference period for relative volume (default: 20, automatically adjusted to 7/15/20).
RSI Length: Sets the RSI length (default: 14, automatically adjusted to 5/10/14).
Buy Sensitivity: Controls the increase threshold for Buying Pressure signals (default: 0.007; higher values reduce frequency).
Sell Sensitivity: Controls the decrease threshold for Selling Pressure signals (default: 0.007; higher values reduce frequency).
Volume Multiplier (B/S Pressure): Adjusts the volume threshold for Smart Flow signals (default: 0.6; higher values require greater volume).
🟡 This indicator is created to simplify market analysis, but I am not a professional in Pine Script or technical indicators. This indicator is not a standalone solution. For optimal results, it must be integrated into a well-defined trading strategy that includes risk management and other confirmations.
IU Market Rhythm WaveDESCRIPTION:
The IU Market Rhythm Wave is a multi-dimensional indicator designed to reveal the underlying rhythm and energy of the market. By analyzing price momentum, harmonic oscillations, volume behavior, and market breadth, it helps traders identify high-quality long and short wave signals. It also visualizes rhythm bands, wave strength zones, and harmonic levels to provide comprehensive context for decision-making.
This tool is best used on trending instruments where rhythm cycles and volume patterns create clear wave-based opportunities.
USER INPUTS:
Rhythm Cycle Length
Controls the main lookback period used to calculate price waves, harmonic oscillation, volume rhythm, and breath. A longer cycle smooths signals, while a shorter cycle makes them more responsive. Recommended range: 8 to 35.
Wave Signal Strength
Multiplies the standard deviation of rhythm to define dynamic breakout thresholds. A higher value results in fewer but stronger signals, filtering out minor fluctuations.
Harmonic Filter
Applies a sensitivity filter to the harmonic mean and standard deviation. It helps eliminate weak or noisy signals and ensures rhythm-based signals align with harmonic structure.
Show Wave Energy Zones
Toggles background color shading based on current rhythm conditions. Greenish zones indicate strong upward rhythm, red for strong downward rhythm, yellow for positive bias, and gray for weak or neutral zones.
Show Rhythm Bands
Enables the display of upper and lower rhythm bands derived from ATR and rhythm volatility. These bands act as dynamic price envelopes and potential support/resistance zones.
Wave Zone Opacity
Adjusts the transparency of background energy zones, allowing users to control how prominent these zones appear on the chart. Range: 60 to 90 for optimal visibility.
INDICATOR LOGIC:
The indicator combines multiple rhythmic components into a composite rhythm score:
1. Price Wave – Based on momentum (rate of price change) smoothed by a moving average.
2. Harmonic Oscillation – Measures how far price has deviated from a central harmonic average (HLC3).
3. Volume Rhythm – Uses volume’s deviation from its mean, standardized by its volatility.
4. Market Breath – Captures range expansion and closing strength relative to range.
These elements form the Raw Rhythm, which is further smoothed to produce the Market Rhythm. When the rhythm exceeds statistically calculated thresholds and other conditions like volume confirmation and harmonic proximity are met, wave signals are triggered.
Harmonic Fibonacci levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.618, 0.764) are also calculated every rhythm cycle to identify nearby structural price zones. Signals occurring near these levels are considered more reliable.
The Rhythm Bands use ATR and rhythm strength to define dynamic boundaries above and below price. Visual zones and arrows mark rhythm shifts and highlight the underlying energy of the market.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
This indicator goes beyond traditional oscillators or volume indicators by blending multiple market dimensions into one rhythmic framework. It adapts to volatility, applies harmonic structure awareness, and filters signals based on real-time market conditions. It offers:
* A unique rhythm-based view of price, volume, and volatility
* Dynamic, adaptive signal generation and zone coloring
* Visual analytics and contextual data in a summary table
* Signal filtering using harmonic alignment and market breath
Its real-time responsiveness and multi-layered logic make it suitable for intraday, swing, and positional traders.
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT:
* Spot high-conviction long or short entries when rhythm, volume, and structure align
* Avoid low-quality trades during weak or noisy rhythm periods
* Use visual wave zones to gauge trend strength and rhythm direction
* Monitor harmonic proximity to enter or exit near key structural levels
* Apply rhythm bands for dynamic stop-loss and target setting
* Use rhythm direction arrows and analytics table to gain deeper market insight

- Day % showing +2.65% (green background)
- Symbol in green color
- RSI of 58 (not overbought)
**Interpretation**: Financial sector is showing strength and momentum without being overextended. Consider long positions in top financial stocks like JPM or BAC.
### Example 2: Spotting Weakness
If you see XLK (Technology) with:
- Day % showing -1.20% (red background)
- Week % showing -3.50% (red background)
- Symbol in red color
- RSI of 35 (approaching oversold)
**Interpretation**: Technology sector is showing weakness across multiple timeframes. Consider avoiding tech stocks or taking short positions in names like MSFT or AAPL, but be cautious as the low RSI suggests a bounce may be coming.
## Advanced Interpretations
### Example 3: Sector Rotation Detection
If you observe:
- XLE (Energy) showing +2.10% while XLK (Technology) showing -1.50%
- Both sectors' Week % values showing the opposite trend
**Interpretation**: This suggests money is rotating out of technology into energy stocks. This rotation pattern is actionable - consider reducing tech exposure and increasing energy positions (look at XOM, CVX in the Top Stocks column).
### Example 4: RSI Divergences
If you see XLU (Utilities) with:
- Day % showing +0.50% (small positive)
- RSI showing 72 (overbought, red background)
**Interpretation**: Despite positive performance, the high RSI suggests the sector is overextended. This divergence between price and indicator suggests caution - the rally in utilities may be running out of steam.
### Example 5: Relative Strength in Weak Markets
If SPY shows -1.20% but XLP (Consumer Staples) shows +0.30%:
**Interpretation**: Consumer staples are showing defensive strength during market weakness. This is typical risk-off behavior. Consider defensive positions in stocks like PG, KO, or PEP for protection.
## Practical Application Scenarios
### Day Trading Setup
1. **Morning Market Assessment**:
- Check which sectors are green pre-market
- Focus on sectors with Day % > 1% and RSI between 40-70
- Identify 2-3 stocks from the Top Stocks column of the strongest sector
2. **Midday Reversal Hunting**:
- Look for sectors with symbol color changing from red to green
- Confirm with RSI moving away from extremes
- Trade stocks from that sector showing similar pattern changes
### Swing Trading Application
1. **Trend Following**:
- Identify sectors with positive Day % and Week %
- Look for RSI values in uptrend but not overbought (45-65)
- Enter positions in top stocks from these sectors, using daily charts for confirmation
2. **Contrarian Setups**:
- Find sectors with deeply negative Day % but RSI < 30
- Look for divergence (price making new lows but RSI rising)
- Consider counter-trend positions in the stronger stocks within these oversold sectors
## Reading Special Conditions
### Example 6: Risk-Off Environment
If you observe:
- XLP (Consumer Staples) and XLU (Utilities) both green
- XLK (Technology) and XLY (Consumer Disc) both red
- SPY slightly negative
**Interpretation**: Classic risk-off rotation. Investors are moving to safety. Consider defensive positioning and reducing exposure to growth sectors.
### Example 7: Market Breadth Analysis
Count the number of sectors in green vs. red:
- If 7+ sectors are green: Strong bullish breadth, consider aggressive long positioning
- If 7+ sectors are red: Weak market breadth, consider defensive positioning or shorts
- If evenly split: Market is indecisive, focus on specific sector strength instead of broad market exposure
Remember that this dashboard is most effective when combined with broader market analysis and appropriate risk management strategies.
Mariam Smart FlipPurpose
This tool identifies high-probability intraday reversals by detecting when price flips through the daily open after strong early-session commitment.
How It Works
A valid flip occurs when:
The previous daily candle is bullish or bearish
The first hour today continues in the same direction
Then, the price flips back through the daily open with a minimum break threshold (user-defined)
This setup is designed to catch liquidity grabs or fakeouts near the daily open, where early buyers or sellers get trapped after showing commitment
Signal Logic
Buy Flip
Previous day bearish → first hour bearish → price flips above open
Sell Flip
Previous day bullish → first hour bullish → price flips below open
Features
Configurable flip threshold in percentage
Signals only activate after the first hour ends
Daily open line displayed on chart
Simple triangle markers with no visual clutter
Alerts ready to use for automation or notifications
Usage Tips
Use "Once Per Bar" alert mode to get notified immediately when the flip happens
Works best in active markets like FX, indices, or crypto
Adjust threshold based on asset volatility
Suggested stop loss: use the previous daily high for sell flips or the previous daily low for buy flips
Suggested take profit: secure at least 30 pips to aim for a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio on average
Murrey Math Lines v6Murrey Math Lines v6
This is not just another Murrey Math indicator. It's a complete, ground-up modernization of the classic concept, rebuilt with the latest Pine Script features for unparalleled performance, accuracy, and usability. While preserving the core mathematical genius of T.H. Murrey's system, this version introduces a suite of modern tools designed for today's trader.
What are Murrey Math Lines?
Murrey Math Lines (MML) are a powerful system of support and resistance based on geometric formulas developed by T.H. Murrey. As a derivation of W.D. Gann's observations, Murrey's geometry simplifies Gann's theories into a more accessible application. The core principle is that price action tends to trend and retrace in 1/8th intervals.
These intervals create a "trading octave" with distinct levels, each having its own characteristic behavior:
& - Ultimate Resistance & Support: These lines are the hardest to break. They represent the top and bottom of the expected price range and are prime areas for reversals.
- Major Pivot: This is the most significant level, offering the strongest support and resistance within the octave. Price has a high probability of stopping and reversing here.
& - Strong Pivot/Reversal: These are strong, secondary pivot points where price often struggles to pass through.
& - The Trading Range: The price tends to consolidate between these two lines about 50% of the time. A decisive break outside this range often signals the start of a new trend.
& - Weak Support/Resistance: These levels are weaker, but when price moves too quickly towards them, they can act as initial stopping points or areas for a minor reversal.
& - Extended Octave: These lines show extreme overbought and oversold conditions beyond the primary 0/8 to 8/8 octave.
Modern Enhancements in This Version
Session-Locked Precision: Anchor the Murrey Lines to the start of a specific trading session (e.g., NYSE open). The levels remain constant for the entire session, providing a stable and reliable framework for your daily analysis.
Visual Trading & Reversal Zones: Instead of just lines, this indicator can fill the key trading range (3/8 to 5/8) and reversal zones (0/8-1/8 & 7/8-8/8) with color, giving you an instant visual reference of market sentiment.
Dynamic "Closest Price" Labels: Declutter your chart! The indicator can intelligently display only the label for the Murrey level closest to the current price, keeping your view clean while providing critical information at a glance.
Integrated Alert System: Never miss a key level touch again. Set up alerts for when the price approaches major lines, the trading range, or all lines, customized to your trading style.
Advanced Pine Script Engine: Built on a modern codebase using User-Defined Types and dynamic drawing objects (line, box, label). This ensures the indicator is fast, efficient, and non-repainting, even on lower timeframes.
Intuitive User Interface: Settings are neatly organized into collapsible groups with clear tooltips, making it incredibly easy to customize every aspect of the indicator, from calculation parameters to colors.
A Note on Accuracy
Some of the other Murrey Math indicators on TradingView use different formulas and therefore produce varying results. This version has been carefully checked against MML indicators on other professional platforms to ensure its calculations are accurate and reliable.

This indicator is a complete overhaul and modernization of the original "MM Lines " script. Full credit for the original calculation logic and concept goes to its author, JRL_6.
BOS mark-out (by Lumiere)Advanced BOS Detection with Strict Swing Confirmation
This indicator implements BOS detection with several unique features:
🔹 Dual-Candle Swing Validation - Unlike most BOS indicators that use single candle swings, this uses a two-candle confirmation for swing highs/lows, analyzing both the candle wicks and body transitions.
🔹 Directional Lock System - Implements a state machine that prevents duplicate signals until an opposite-direction BOS occurs, reducing noise.
🔹 Precision Wick Analysis - Compares wicks between the reversal candle and confirmation candle to identify the true swing point.
🔹 Real-Time Update & Live Market Adaptation – The indicator continuously monitors price action and instantly updates BOS signals as new candles form, ensuring you never miss a BOS.
How It Differs From Other BOS Indicators:
Most public BOS indicators use simple HH/HL or LH/LL detection.
Many don't implement the directional locking mechanism.
Few use the two-candle wick comparison approach.
Wick-Based Precision uses the extreme wicks of two candles (not just the body).
Strict Confirmation requires a close beyond the swing point (no "wick breaks" counted).
Usage Examples:
🟦 Bullish BOS:
A green candle closes, followed by a red candle. This will be the new high, and if the next candle closes above the highest wick of those two, it will be a BOS (only if we had a bearish BOS before)
🟥 Bearish BOS:
A red candle closes, followed by a green candle. This will be the new low, and if the next candle closes below the lowest wick of those two, it will be a BOS (only if we had a Bullish BOS before)
Path of Least ResistancePath of Least Resistance (PLR)
Concept Overview
The Path of Least Resistance indicator identifies key zones on your chart that act like "muddy" or "sticky" areas where price tends to get bogged down, creating choppy and unpredictable price action. Between these zones lie the "empty spaces" - clear paths where price can move freely with momentum and direction.
The Analogy: Muddy Fields vs Open Roads
Think of your chart like a landscape:
🟫 ZONES (Muddy/Sticky Areas)
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from higher timeframes
Pivot wick zones from higher timeframe pivots
Areas where price gets "stuck" and churns
Like walking through thick mud - slow, choppy, unpredictable movement
Price action becomes erratic and difficult to trade
🟢 EMPTY SPACES (Open Roads)
The clear areas between zones
Where price can move freely with momentum
Like driving on an open highway - smooth, directional movement
The "Path of Least Resistance" for price movement
Trading Philosophy
AVOID Trading Within Zones:
Price action is typically choppy and unpredictable
Higher probability of false signals and whipsaws
Like trying to drive through mud - you'll get stuck
TRADE Through the Empty Spaces:
Look for moves that travel between zones
Price tends to move with momentum and direction
Higher probability setups with cleaner price action
Like taking the highway instead of back roads
Zone Types Detected
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Imbalances from higher timeframe candles
Areas where price "owes" a return visit
Often act as magnets, creating choppy price action
Pivot Wick Zones
Upper and lower wicks from higher timeframe pivots
Rejection areas where price previously struggled
Often create resistance/support that leads to choppy movement
Color Coding System
The zones dynamically change color based on current price position:
🔴 RED ZONES : Price is below the zone (bearish context)
🟢 GREEN ZONES : Price is above the zone (bullish context)
🔘 GRAY ZONES : Price is within the zone (neutral/choppy area)
The "Mum Trades" Strategy
The best trades - what we call "Mum trades" (trades so obvious even your mum could spot them) - happen in the empty spaces between zones:
✅ High Probability Characteristics:
Clear directional movement between zones
Less noise and false signals
Higher momentum and follow-through
Cleaner technical patterns
❌ Avoid These Areas:
Trading within the muddy zones
Expecting clean moves through sticky areas
Fighting against the natural flow of price
Key Features
Auto Timeframe Detection : Automatically selects appropriate higher timeframe
Dynamic Zone Management : Overlapping zones are automatically cleaned up
Real-time Alerts : Get notified when price enters/exits zones
Visual Clarity : Clean zone display with extending boundaries
How to Use
Identify the Zones : Let the indicator mark the muddy areas
Find the Paths : Look for clear spaces between zones
Plan Your Trades : Target moves that travel through empty space
Avoid the Mud : Stay away from trading within the zones
Follow the Flow : Trade with the path of least resistance
Remember
Price, like water, always seeks the path of least resistance. By identifying where that path is clear (empty spaces) versus where it's obstructed (zones), you can align your trading with the natural flow of the market rather than fighting against it.
The goal is simple: Trade the highways, avoid the mud.
Dynamic Laguerre Filter Bands | OttoThis indicator combines trend-following and volatility analysis by enhancing the traditional Laguerre filter with a dynamic, volatility-adjusted band system. Instead of using fixed thresholds, the bands adapt in real-time to changing market conditions by applying smoothed standard deviation calculations. This design keeps the indicator responsive to significant price movements while effectively filtering out short-term market noise, resulting in more accurate trend identification and breakout signals.
Core Concept
The indicator is built around the following key components:
Laguerre Filter:
The Laguerre filter is designed to smooth out price data by reducing market noise while still being quick enough to detect real changes in price direction. Its goal is to create a clear, smooth trend line that helps traders/investors focus on the overall market trend without getting distracted by small, random price swings.
It uses a parameter called gamma to control how it balances smoothness and responsiveness:
A lower gamma gives more weight to recent price data, making the filter react faster to new price changes. This means the trend line is more sensitive but may also be less smooth and more prone to small fluctuations.
A higher gamma gives more weight to past price data, making the filter smoother and less sensitive to quick changes. This helps reduce noise and produces a steadier trend line, but it also introduces more lag, meaning the filter reacts slower to new price moves.
By adjusting gamma, the Laguerre filter lets you choose the balance between following price changes quickly and having a stable, noise-free trend signal.
Standard Deviation:
shows how much price varies from the mean. In this indicator, it’s used to measure market volatility.
Volatility Bands: The upper and lower bands are based on an EMA-smoothed standard deviation of price. The EMA reduces sudden jumps in volatility, creating smoother and more stable bands that still respond to changing market conditions. These bands are plotted around the Laguerre filter line, expanding and contracting in a controlled way to stay aligned with real market movement while avoiding short-term noise.
Signal Logic:
A long signal is triggered when the close price crosses above the upper band.
A short signal occurs when the close price falls below the lower band.
⚙️ Inputs
Source: Price source used in calculations
Gamma: Adjusts how much the Laguerre filter responds to price changes. Lower gamma values make the filter react more to recent prices, while higher values give more influence to older data, making the line smoother but slower to respond.
Volatility Length: Period used to calculate standard deviation
Volatility Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing length for standard deviation
Multiplier: Scales the width of the bands based on volatility
📈 Visual Output
Laguerre Filter Line: Plots the laguerre filter line, colored dynamically based on signal direction (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Upper & Lower Bands: Volatility-based bands that adjust with market conditions. (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Glow Effect: Optional glow layer to enhance visibility of the laguerre filter trend line (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Bar Coloring: Candlesticks and bar colors reflect the active signal state for fast visual interpretation (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
How to Use
Apply the indicator to your chart and monitor for signal events:
Long Signal: When price closes above the upper band
Short Signal: When price closes below the lower band
🔔 Alerts
This indicator supports optional alert conditions you can enable for:
Long Signal: Close price crossing above the upper band
Short Signal: Close price crossing below the lower band

TASC 2025.07 Laguerre Filters█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Laguerre filter and oscillator described by John F. Ehlers in the article "A Tool For Trend Trading, Laguerre Filters" from the July 2025 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . The new Laguerre filter utilizes the UltimateSmoother filter in place of an exponential moving average (EMA) in its calculation, offering improved responsiveness and reduced lag.
█ CONCEPTS
As Ehlers explains in his article, the Laguerre filter is a form of transversal filter . A transversal filter calculates an output signal using a tapped delay line . It creates multiple delayed versions of an input signal, applies weight to each delay, and then calculates their sum to generate the filtered result.
The Laguerre filter's structure relies on Laguerre polynomials — solutions to a differential equation solved by Edmond Laguerre in the 1800s. When Ehlers analyzed the formula for these polynomials on discrete systems (e.g., financial time series), he found that the first term's expression corresponds to an EMA response, and all subsequent terms correspond to an all-pass response. In contrast to other filter types, an all-pass filter produces phase shift (i.e., delay) in an input signal's components without affecting its amplitude.
Ehlers observed that these characteristics of Laguerre polynomials make them suitable for use in a transversal filter structure, and thus the Laguerre filter was born. However, he notes that EMAs are not great filters in general. As such, to improve on the Laguerre filter's design, Ehlers modified it by replacing the EMA term with his UltimateSmoother filter. The resulting Laguerre filter has significantly reduced lag, achieving a tighter response to market fluctuations while maintaining smoothness. Ehlers suggests that traders can analyze crossings between the UltimateSmoother and this Laguerre filter, or those between two Laguerre filters of different order, for helpful buy and sell signals.
In addition to the Laguerre filter, Ehlers derived a smooth, low-lag oscillator based on the difference between the first and second terms in the modified filter structure, scaled by the root mean square (RMS). The resulting oscillator provides an alternative filtered representation of market data, which can help traders identify swing and mean-reversion signals.
█ USAGE
This indicator calculates both the Laguerre filter and the Laguerre oscillator described in Ehlers' article. It displays the Laguerre filter on the main chart pane and the oscillator in a separate pane.
Users can control the behavior of the filter and oscillator with the inputs in the "Settings/Inputs" tab:
The "Period" input defines the critical period of the UltimateSmoother used in the Laguerre filter and oscillator calculations. Its default value is 30.
The "Gamma" input determines the weighting behavior of the Laguerre filter and oscillator. It accepts a positive value between 0 and 1. Use a lower value for quicker responsiveness to market changes, and a higher value for trends. The default value is 0.5.
The "RMS length" input determines the length of the RMS calculation for oscillator normalization. The default value is 100 bars.
