INTRODUCTION
The “srd786-Intraday VWAP Price Action Indicator” is a sophisticated Pine Script (version 6) trading tool designed for intraday traders who focus on New York session trading hours. This indicator combines multiple technical analysis concepts including Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), Average True Range (ATR) for risk management, swing point detection for support/resistance identification, and momentum analysis through RSI. The primary objective is to generate high-probability long and short signals based on price action confluence with trend, momentum, and key structural levels.
1.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): Shows the "fair" average price based on both price and trading volume.
2.
ATR (Average True Range): Measures how much the price typically moves each day.
3.
Trend Analysis: Identifies whether the market is going up, down, or sideways.
4.
Momentum Indicators: Shows how strong the current price movement is.
5.
Support & Resistance: Identifies key price levels where the price might stop or reverse.
6.
Swing Points: Finds significant turning points in the price.
This indicator is specifically optimized for the New York trading session (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET), making it particularly suitable for traders who focus on US market hours. It provides a complete trading framework that includes not only signal generation but also precise trade management levels including entry prices, stop-loss orders, and profit targets based on a configurable reward-to-risk ratio.
The philosophy behind this indicator is confluence-based trading. Rather than relying on a single indicator or condition, it requires multiple factors to align before generating a trade signal. This approach filters out lower-probability setups and focuses only on high-quality opportunities where price action, trend direction, momentum, and key technical levels all point in the same direction.
CORE CONCEPT AND METHODOLOGY
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
VWAP is the cornerstone of this indicator's trading methodology. Unlike a simple moving average that treats all price bars equally, VWAP incorporates volume data into its calculation, giving more weight to bars with higher trading volume. This makes VWAP a more accurate representation of the true average price where the most significant trading activity occurred.
The calculation of VWAP is performed using the built-in 'ta.vwap()' function, which computes the cumulative volume-weighted average price from the beginning of the session. For intraday traders, VWAP serves as a critical reference point that indicates whether the current price is trading at a premium (above VWAP) or discount (below VWAP) relative to the session's volume-weighted average.
In this indicator, the VWAP source is configurable through the 'vwapSource' parameter, with the default being HLC3 (High + Low + Close / 3). This source selection allows traders to experiment with different price types such as typical price, weighted close, or even custom sources to suit their trading style and market preferences.
Average True Range (ATR) for Risk Management
The Average True Range, calculated using 'ta.atr()', measures market volatility by decomposing the current range of price movement. ATR does not indicate price direction;
instead, it quantifies the degree of price movement or volatility over a specified period. In this indicator, ATR serves dual purposes: determining the distance for limit orders and calculating stop-loss levels.
The 'atrLength' parameter (default: 14) controls the lookback period for the ATR calculation. A shorter length makes the indicator more responsive to recent volatility, while a longer length provides a smoother average that may be more suitable for less volatile markets. The 'atrMultiplier' (default: 1.5) determines how many ATR units away the stop-loss is placed from the entry price, allowing traders to adjust their risk exposure based on current market conditions.
Swing Detection and Support/Resistance
Swing points represent significant turning points in price action where the market has temporarily exhausted its directional momentum. This indicator uses pivot high and pivot low calculations to identify swing highs and swing lows, which then form the basis for dynamic support and resistance levels.
The 'swingLength' parameter (default: 5) defines how many bars to the left and right of a potential pivot point must be lower (for pivot highs) or higher (for pivot lows) to confirm the swing point. This lookback period helps filter out minor price fluctuations and focuses on more significant structural levels.
Support and resistance levels are stored in arrays ('swingHighArray' and 'SwingLowArray'), with the most recent swing points serving as the primary reference levels. The 'srLookback' parameter (default: 20) controls the overall lookback window and also determines how many
swing points to maintain in each array, ensuring that only relevant historical levels are considered.
Breakout Detection
When a price moves past a major support or resistance level, this is known as a price breakout. This price breakout suggests that there is a possibility of a new trend direction heading forward.Breakout detection eliminates noise, as little price fluctuations or volatility may momentarily drive prices past a threshold without authentic conviction.Detection of breakouts affirms robustness when the price above the threshold by 2%, indicating genuine market interest, and mitigates whipsaws to prevent placing trades based on transient price swings.
The Breakout Tolerance parameter, set by default to 2%, regulates the breakout tolerance for the indicator. A price closure above the current high plus a minor tolerance buffer (usually 2%) indicates a potential continuation of upward movement, classified as a Bullish Breakout. Conversely, when the price closes below the recent low plus a minor tolerance buffer (usually 2%), it suggests that the price may continue to decline, which is classified as a Bearish Breakout Down.
Trend Identification
Trend determination is accomplished through an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a configurable length ('trendMaLength', default: 9). The indicator classifies trend into three
states: BULLISH (price above EMA with confirmation from the previous bar), BEARISH (price below EMA with confirmation), and SIDEWAYS (price crossing or near the EMA).
The EMA is chosen over simple moving averages because it responds more quickly to recent price changes while still providing enough smoothing to filter out noise. The confirmation requirement (both current and previous bar must be on the same side of the EMA) reduces false signals during periods of choppy price action.
Momentum Analysis
Momentum is measured using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with a configurable length ('momentumLength', default: 9). RSI values are categorized into five states to provide nuanced momentum readings: STRONG BULL (RSI above 70), BUILDING (RSI between 55 and 70), NEUTRAL (RSI between 45 and 55), WEAKENING (RSI below 45), and STRONG BEAR (RSI below 30).
This momentum categorization allows traders to distinguish between strong trending conditions (STRONG BULL/BEAR) and transitions (BUILDING/WEAKENING), providing context for trade signals and helping to avoid entering positions during momentum divergences.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
VWAP Settings
The 'vwapSource' parameter determines which price value is used in the VWAP calculation. The default value of 'hlc3' (High + Low + Close / 3) provides a balanced representation of each bar's price action. Traders can modify this to use typical price ('high + low + close / 3'), weighted close ('high + low + close + close / 4'), or other price types depending on their analytical preferences.
ATR Settings
The 'atrLength' parameter sets the lookback period for the Average True Range calculation. The default of 14 periods is standard across most trading platforms and timeframes, providing a good balance between responsiveness and smoothness. The 'atrMultiplier' parameter (default: 1.5) scales the ATR value to determine stop-loss distances. A multiplier of 1.5 means the stop-loss is placed 1.5 ATR units away from the entry price, providing enough buffer to accommodate normal volatility while limiting risk.
Trade Settings
The 'rrRatio' parameter (default: 3.0) establishes the reward-to-risk ratio for trade targets. A ratio of 2.0 means the profit target is twice the distance of the stop-loss from the entry price. The 'limitOrderDistance' parameter (default: 0.5) determines how far below (for long trades)
or above (for short trades) the current close the limit order is placed, measured in ATR units. This allows traders to enter positions at better prices while waiting for pullbacks.
Swing Detection Settings
The 'swingLength' parameter (default: 5) controls pivot identification sensitivity. Higher values identify more significant swing points but may miss shorter-term opportunities. The 'showSwings' boolean parameter toggles the visual display of swing high and low points on the chart.
Support & Resistance Settings
The 'srLookback' parameter (default: 20) defines how many bars back to search for swing points and support/resistance levels. The 'breakoutTolerance' parameter (default: 0.02 or 2%) adds a small buffer to breakout detection to account for minor penetration of support/resistance levels due to price spikes or slippage.
Trend & Momentum Settings
The 'trendMaLength' parameter (default: 9) sets the EMA length for trend determination, while 'momentumLength' (default: 9) sets the RSI lookback period. Both should be at least 5 periods for meaningful calculations.
Table Settings
The 'showTable' parameter (default: true) enables the display of two information tables that provide real-time data on Indicator values and trade levels.
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
Long Signal Conditions
A long signal is generated when all the following conditions are simultaneously true:
1.
Session Filter: The trade must occur during New York session hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET).
2.
Trend Confirmation: The trend must be BULLISH (price above EMA with confirmation).
3.
Price Position: Current price must be above VWAP, indicating bullish price action.
4.
Breakout or No Resistance: Either price is breaking out above resistance level with tolerance, or there is no prior resistance level to overcome.
5.
Momentum Alignment: Momentum must be either STRONG BULL or BUILDING.
This confluence of conditions ensures that long trades are only taken when the market is trending higher, price is confirming strength by trading above VWAP, and momentum is supportive of continued upward movement.
Short Signal Conditions
A short signal is generated when all the following conditions are simultaneously true:
1.
Session Filter: The trade must occur during New York session hours
2.
Trend Confirmation: The trend must be BEARISH (price below EMA with confirmation)
3.
Price Position: Current price must be below VWAP, indicating bearish price action
4.
Breakout or No Support: Either price is breaking down below support level with tolerance, or there is no prior support level to overcome
5.
Momentum Alignment: Momentum must be either STRONG BEAR or WEAKENING
Similar to long signals, short trades require alignment across multiple timeframes and analytical approaches, filtering out counter-trend trades and focusing on high-probability setups.
TRADE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
Entry Price Calculation
For long trades, the limit order price is calculated as: 'Close - (ATR Value × Limit Order Distance)'. This places the entry price below the current close, allowing traders to buy on dips while maintaining a favorable entry price. For short trades, the limit order is placed above the current close: 'Close + (ATR Value × Limit Order Distance)'.
The limit order distance is expressed in ATR units, making it adaptive to current volatility conditions. In more volatile markets, the limit order will be placed further from the current price, while in calmer markets, it will be closer.
Stop-Loss Placement
Stop-loss levels are calculated using the ATR multiplier to ensure adaptive risk management. For long trades: 'Entry Price - (ATR Value × ATR Multiplier)'. For short trades: 'Entry Price + (ATR Value × ATR Multiplier)'.
This adaptive approach to stop-loss placement means that in volatile markets, stops are wider to avoid being stopped out by normal price fluctuations, while in quieter markets, stops are tighter to limit potential losses. The default multiplier of 1.5 provides approximately 1.5 times the average true range of protection.
Target Price Calculation
Profit targets are determined by the reward-to-risk ratio: 'Entry Price + (ATR Stop Distance × RR Ratio)' for long trades and 'Entry Price - (ATR Stop Distance × RR Ratio)' for short trades. The default ratio of 2.0 means the target is twice the distance of the stop-loss, providing a favorable risk-reward profile.
New York Session Tracking
The indicator includes specialized logic for tracking the New York session open price. When a new NY session begins (determined by the 'isNewNySession' variable), the current open price is recorded and maintained throughout the session. This provides a reference point for measuring intraday directional bias from the session's starting level.
INFORMATION TABLES
Indicators Table
This table displays the current price, VWAP value, NY session open price, support level,resistance level, ATR, ATR-scaled stop distance, current trend classification, momentum state with RSI value, and breakout status. All values are color-coded based on their bullish or bearish implications. The VWAP cell is color-coded green if price is above VWAP (bullish) and red if below (bearish), providing instant visual confirmation of price's position relative to this critical level.
Trade Levels Table
This table shows current signal status (LONG, SHORT, or WAIT), limit order distance in ATR units, calculated limit order price, stop-loss level, and target price with the reward-to-risk ratio displayed. The signal cell is highlighted in green for long signals and red for short signals.
ALERT CONDITIONS
The indicator includes four alert conditions that can be configured in TradingView:
1.
LONG Signal: Triggers when a long signal is generated, providing entry price, stop-loss, and target information.
2.
SHORT Signal: Triggers when a short signal is generated with corresponding trade details.
3.
Breakout Up: Notifies when price breaks out above resistance level.
4.
Breakout Down: Notifies when price breaks down below support level.
These alerts enable traders to receive notifications via TradingView's alert system without continuously monitoring the charts.
USAGE EXAMPLES AND TRADING SCENARIOS
Strong Bullish Trend with VWAP Support
In this scenario, price has been trading above the 9-period EMA for multiple bars, confirming a bullish trend. The current price is above VWAP, indicating buyers are willing to pay a premium. A recent swing low has established a support level, and RSI is reading 65, indicating building momentum without being overextended. When price breaks above the recent swing high resistance with a 2% tolerance, the indicator generates a long signal. The trader places a limit order below the current bar's close (0.5 ATR units) and sets the stop-loss 1.5 ATR units below the entry, with a target 2.0 times the stop distance away.
Short Setup During Volatile Session
During a particularly volatile NY session, price gaps down below VWAP early in the day. The 9-period EMA is declining, and both current and previous bars are below it, confirming a bearish trend. The RSI has dropped to 28, indicating strong bearish momentum. A recent swing high serves as resistance, and when price breaks below the swing low support level, the indicator generates a short signal. The trader enters on a limit order placed 0.5 ATR units above the current price, with the stop-loss 1.5 ATR units above the entry and the target at a 2.0 reward-to-risk ratio.
Avoiding Counter-Trend Trades
Consider a scenario where price is above VWAP and the RSI reads 72 (overbought), but the price is below the 9-period EMA and the previous bar was also below the EMA. In this case, the trend is classified as BEARISH (or SIDEWAYS) despite the bullish price position relative to VWAP. The indicator will not generate a long signal because the trend condition is not met, protecting the trader from what could be a bear trap or continuation pattern.
No Prior Levels Scenario
At the beginning of a trading session or after significant volatility has cleared prior swing points, there may be no established support or resistance levels in the lookback window. In this case, the breakout condition 'or na(resistanceLevel)' allows long signals to be generated without requiring a resistance level to be broken, enabling traders to participate in emerging trends without waiting for prior levels to form.
BEST PRACTICES AND TIPS
Timeframe Selection
This indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes (1-minute to 60-minute charts) and specifically for NY session trading. Higher timeframes may produce more reliable signals but fewer opportunities, while lower timeframes will generate more signals but with potentially lower reliability. Traders should backtest on their preferred timeframe before trading live.
Market Conditions
The indicator performs best in trending markets with clear directional bias. During ranging or sideways markets, the trend condition may oscillate frequently, and VWAP may oscillate around price, reducing signal quality. Consider filtering signals or reducing position size during low-volatility, range-bound conditions.
Parameter Optimization
While the default parameters have been selected for general applicability, traders should consider optimizing certain parameters for specific markets or instruments. For highly volatile instruments like crude oil or natural gas, increasing the 'atrMultiplier' to 2.0 or 2.5 may provide more appropriate risk management. For less volatile instruments like certain forex pairs, reducing the multiplier to 1.0 or 1.2 may improve signal quality.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis
For enhanced performance, traders can analyze the trend on a higher timeframe (such as 15-minute or hourly) while taking signals on a lower timeframe (such as 5-minute or 1-minute). This multi-timeframe approach ensures that signals are aligned with the larger trend direction.
Risk Management
While the indicator provides calculated stop-loss levels, traders should consider their overall position sizing and portfolio risk. The ATR-based stops provide a market-adaptive approach, but individual risk tolerance and account size should ultimately determine position sizing. The 2.0 reward-to-risk ratio is fixed but can be adjusted based on personal preferences or the specific characteristics of the instrument being traded.
INTEGRATION WITH TRADINGVIEW
Adding the Indicator
To add this indicator to a TradingView chart, paste the code into the Pine Script editor and click "Add to Chart." The indicator will appear in the chart's sidebar and begin calculating immediately once sufficient historical data is available.
Configuring Alerts
To set up alerts, right-click on any of the alert conditions in the indicator's settings panel (long signal, short signal, breakout up, or breakout down) and select "Add Alert." Configure the alert frequency and notification methods (push notification, email, webhook, etc.) according to your preferences.
Customization
All input parameters can be adjusted through the indicator's settings panel without modifying the source code. Traders can experiment with different VWAP sources, ATR lengths and multipliers, swing detection parameters, and table display options to suit their trading style and market preferences.
LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Session Dependency
The indicator is specifically designed for NY session trading and will not generate signals outside these hours. Traders focused on other sessions or 24-hour markets may need to modify the session string to match their trading hours.
Historical Data Requirements
The indicator requires sufficient historical data to accurately calculate swing points and support/resistance levels. On lower timeframe charts with limited history, the initial signals may be less reliable until adequate swing points are identified.
Lag in Swing Detection
By definition, swing points are confirmed after the price has moved away from them, introducing some lag into support/resistance identification. Traders should be aware that the most recent swing point may not be confirmed until several bars after it occurs.
Not Financial Advice
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should not be construed as financial advice. Traders are responsible for their own research and risk management decisions. Past performance of any trading system does not guarantee future results.

Intraday Session Ranges (Asian-London-NY) - JonathanJD86This script is a technical utility designed to automatically track and visualize the high and low price levels of the three major trading sessions (Asian, London, and New York).
How it works: The script uses the time() function with the America/New_York timezone anchor to ensure accuracy regardless of the user's local time. It tracks the maximum and minimum price values during specific user-defined intervals.
Key Methodology:
Vertical Tick Offset: Unlike standard session boxes, this tool allows users to set a vertical gap (in ticks) so that the labels do not overlap the candle wicks, providing a clearer view of the actual price action.
Session Intervals: Defaulted to high-activity windows: Asian (20:00-00:00), London (02:00-05:00), and New York (08:30-16:00).
Dynamic Visibility: The script includes a logical check to automatically hide levels on timeframes higher than 1H, preventing chart clutter during macro analysis.

Big Trades [Volume Anomalies] (Enhanced)The script is a **volume-anomaly “big trades” detector** for futures that tries to (1) split each candle’s volume into a **buy-pressure** and **sell-pressure** estimate, (2) flag **statistically extreme** candles (tiers), and (3) optionally label those extremes as **initiative (follow-through)** vs **absorbed (no follow-through)** using a forward-style confirmation window.
Here’s what it does, piece by piece.
---
## 1) What it’s trying to detect
It’s not true “whale prints” or real bid/ask delta. It detects:
* **unusually large participation** (volume anomaly)
* with a **directional guess** (buy-ish vs sell-ish)
* and then checks whether price **continued** after that anomaly
So it’s: **“big participation + did it work?”**
---
## 2) The “buy vs sell volume” estimate
For each candle, it builds a **weight** for buy and sell pressure:
* **close location within the candle**
* close near high → more buy weight
* close near low → more sell weight
* **body direction (close–open)**
* bullish body adds buy boost
* bearish body adds sell boost
Then it computes:
* `raw_buy = volume * buy_weight`
* `raw_sell = volume * sell_weight`
This is an **OHLC-based proxy** for pressure, not real aggressor volume.
---
## 3) Normalization (makes it behave across sessions)
If enabled, it divides by ATR:
* `norm_buy = raw_buy / ATR`
* `norm_sell = raw_sell / ATR`
This helps a lot on futures because volume/volatility regimes differ between Asia/London/NY.
---
## 4) Statistical anomaly detection (z-score logic)
It calculates “what’s normal” using the last `lookback` bars, but **uses ` `** so the current bar doesn’t contaminate the stats (reduces flicker):
* `avg_buy = sma(norm_buy, lookback) `
* `std_buy = stdev(norm_buy, lookback) `
(and same for sell)
Then it computes **z-scores**:
* `z_buy = (norm_buy - avg_buy) / std_buy`
* `z_sell = (norm_sell - avg_sell) / std_sell`
If z-score crosses thresholds, it triggers tiers:
* Tier 1: `sigma`
* Tier 2: `sigma + tier_step1`
* Tier 3: `sigma + tier_step2`
So **Tier 3 = “big bubble”**.
---
## 5) Optional VWAP bias filter
It computes VWAP correctly as:
* `vwapv = ta.vwap(hlc3)`
If enabled:
* buys only when `close >= vwap`
* sells only when `close <= vwap`
This is just a **trend/bias filter** to reduce counter-trend bubbles.
---
## 6) Plotting (how bubbles appear)
It places markers at:
* buys around `(close+low)/2` (lower-ish)
* sells around `(close+high)/2` (upper-ish)
And draws:
* small/medium/large circles (depending on tier)
* with optional INIT/ABS overlays (explained next)
---
## 7) “Initiative vs Absorbed” classification (the smart part)
Because Pine can’t see the future on the same bar, your script does a **delayed evaluation**:
* It waits `N = confirm_bars`
* Looks at what happened from the signal bar to the current bar
* Decides if price moved far enough in the intended direction
It uses:
* `hh_window = highest(high, N+1)`
* `ll_window = lowest(low, N+1)`
(these cover the last N+1 bars: from signal bar to now)
Then it measures follow-through:
* For a buy signal N bars ago:
`buy_move = hh_window - high `
* For a sell signal N bars ago:
`sell_move = low - ll_window`
It compares to an ATR-based threshold anchored to the signal bar:
* `thr_move_sig = ATR * move_mult_atr`
If move > threshold → **INIT**
Else → **ABS**
Then it **plots back onto the original signal bar** using `offset=-N` so it visually marks the candle that caused it.
To make it obvious:
* **INIT** = circle
* **ABS** = X
This part is “accurate” in the sense that it’s purely **price-outcome based**.
---
## 8) Labels (optional)
If enabled, it prints labels on those large signals with:
* INIT/ABS
* the z-score at the signal bar
* and a “delta proxy” (`norm_buy - norm_sell`), not true delta
---
## In one sentence
The script flags **statistically extreme volume-pressure candles** (buy/sell proxy), and then classifies those extremes as **worked (initiative)** or **failed (absorbed)** based on **subsequent price movement** within `confirm_bars`.
MACDHLAdapted from Mohamed3nan. Added 1H MACD logic. Background colors indicate momentum shifts: Red for bearish (Red Histogram peaking) and Green for bullish (Green Histogram bottoming). Buy/Sell signals are triggered by Center Line breakouts or rejections. The Center Line serves as a dynamic Support and Resistance (S/R) for short-term trading.

Apex Wallet - Ultimate Trend Meter: 9-in-1 Multi-Layer Momentum Overview The Apex Wallet Trend Meter is an advanced decision-making dashboard designed to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions without cluttering your main price chart. It synthesizes complex data from 9 different technical sources into a clean, horizontal visual grid, allowing traders to spot confluence at a single glance.
The Power of Confluence Instead of switching between multiple oscillators, this tool monitors:
Triple EMA Structure: Tracks Short, Medium, and Long-term trend directions.
Momentum Suite: Real-time status of RSI, Stochastic, and StochRSI.
Advanced Analyzers: Includes MACD (Line/Signal), TDI (Traders Dynamic Index), and the Andean Oscillator for trend exhaustion and volatility states.
Smart Delta Net: A sophisticated Volume Delta engine that filters market noise through customizable modes (Buy/Sell, Neutral, or Automatic).
Key Features:
Adaptive Trading Presets: One-click selection for Scalping, Day-Trading, or Swing-Trading. The script automatically recalibrates all 9 indicator periods to fit your timeframe.
Market Bias Filtering: Indicators are color-coded based on their alignment with the global market trend. Signals only turn Bullish or Bearish when they align with the master trend EMA.
Dynamic Delta Grid: Displays scaled net volume values directly inside the grid for precise institutional flow tracking.
Fully Customizable UI: Toggle any layer on/off and adjust the layout density to match your workspace.
How to use: Look for "Vertical Confluence." When multiple layers turn the same color simultaneously, it indicates a high-probability momentum shift.
Crosses Open Daily (shock points OD)It is an indicator that works to alert you when an asset, during the day, crosses or approaches the daily open again.

Post-Exercise Option ValueThis indicator visualizes the post-exercise value of stock options for a single underlying symbol.
It calculates what an options position would be worth after exercising , based on the difference between price and strike, and displays how that value changes over time using close, high, and low prices.
What it shows
Value at Close – post-exercise value using the candle’s closing price
Value at High – post-exercise value using the candle’s high
Value at Low – post-exercise value using the candle’s low
Shaded regions highlight the intrabar range between close↔high and low↔close
Values are floored at $0 when price is below the strike
Calculation logic
The indicator uses the following formula:
Post-exercise value = max((Price − Strike) × Units × Multiplier, 0)
This reflects the net value of shares received if options were exercised at the strike and valued at the current market price.
Inputs
Strike price (exercise price)
Number of units (shares or share-equivalent units)
Multiplier (e.g., 100 for standard US equity option contracts)
Custom value target for alerts
Alerts
Optional alerts are available for:
Price crossing above or below the strike
Post-exercise value crossing above (or below) a user-defined dollar target
Alerts are evaluated on bar close and can be enabled individually via TradingView’s alert dialog.
Notes
Designed for tracking a single ticker
Does not model time value, volatility, or option premiums
Intended for visualization and monitoring purposes only
This tool is useful for understanding how the value of an exercised options position evolves relative to price movement.
Volatility Cluster Trend.VCT - Volatility Cluster Trend
What it does
This indicator groups market volatility into 3 zones (low, medium, high) using a clustering method. Then it picks the right zone for current conditions and draws a trend line that adapts automatically.
Green line below price = uptrend
Red line above price = downtrend
Triangles show when trend flips.
How to add it
Open TradingView
Click "Indicators" at top (or press /)
Go to "My Scripts" tab
Find "VCT - Volatility Cluster Trend"
Click it
If you haven't saved it yet:
Open Pine Editor (bottom panel)
Paste the code
Click "Add to Chart"
Settings
ATR Length - how smooth the volatility reading is. Default 10 works fine. Go higher for less noise.
Factor - how far the line sits from price. Higher = wider stops, fewer signals. Lower = tighter, more signals. Default 3 is balanced.
Lookback Period - how much history to analyze for clustering. 100 bars is good for most timeframes.
Colors - pick what you like.
How to trade it
Long
Wait for green triangle
Price should be above the green line
Enter on next candle or pullback to line
Short
Wait for red triangle
Price should be below red line
Enter on next candle or pullback to line
Stop loss
Put it on the other side of the line
If long, stop goes just below green line
If short, stop goes just above red line
Exit
When opposite signal appears
Or trail your stop along the line
Tips
Works best on trending markets
Choppy sideways = lots of false signals
Higher timeframes (4h, daily) give cleaner signals
Combine with support/resistance for better entries
Don't chase - wait for pullbacks to the line
Alerts
Right click the indicator > Add Alert
Two options:
"Buy Signal" - alerts on green triangles
"Sell Signal" - alerts on red triangles
Set to "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid fake signals.
Adaptive Market Structure Channel By S B PrasadAdaptive Market Structure Channel (AMSC)
Institutional-Grade Trend, Volatility & Liquidity Framework
Overview
The Adaptive Market Structure Channel (AMSC) is a multi-engine, adaptive trading framework designed to read market structure, volatility, liquidity, and trend strength in real time.
It integrates ATR-based channels, pivot structure, supply–demand zones, liquidity sweeps, multi-factor momentum, and higher-timeframe confirmation into a single, coherent visual system.
AMSC is not a single-indicator strategy.
It is a context-driven decision framework intended to help traders align entries with dominant trend, structural levels, and institutional activity.
Core Components
1️⃣ Adaptive ATR Trend Channel
Dynamic ATR-based support & resistance
Automatically adjusts to volatility
Color-coded trend strength (strong / weak regimes)
Acts as the primary trend bias filter
2️⃣ Pivot-Based ATR Trend Channels
Channels built from confirmed pivot highs and lows
ATR-expanded structure, not fixed slopes
Separates impulse moves from corrections
Useful for trend continuation and pullback trades
3️⃣ Market Structure: Supply & Demand Zones
Automatically plots fresh demand and supply zones
Zones extend forward until violated
Helps identify high-probability reaction areas
Used as a location filter, not a standalone signal
4️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Detection (Smart Money Logic)
Identifies equal high / equal low liquidity pools
Detects stop-hunt style sweeps
Validates sweeps only when price reacts from structure zones
Prevents chasing false breakouts
5️⃣ Multi-Factor Trend Confirmation Engine
Combines:
EMA structure
MACD momentum
RSI regime
VWAP positioning
Optional ribbon & HMA filters
Signals are generated only when a majority of factors align, avoiding single-indicator bias.
6️⃣ Volatility Context (Bollinger Bands)
Provides volatility expansion / contraction context
Helps distinguish trend continuation vs compression
Works as a background regime filter
7️⃣ Higher Timeframe Confirmation
Confirms trend using a user-selected HTF
Prevents counter-trend trades during strong HTF bias
Essential for intraday and swing traders
8️⃣ Session-Aware Trading
Optional India, London, and New York session filters
Signals only during active market participation
Avoids low-liquidity false signals
9️⃣ Professional Dashboard
Real-time display of:
Trend direction
Trend strength
Factor alignment
HTF bias
Active zone
Trade signal
Session status
Designed for quick decision-making, not clutter.
How to Use AMSC (Best Practice)
✔ Trade in the direction of the ATR trend
✔ Enter near demand/supply within the channel
✔ Confirm with factor alignment & HTF bias
✔ Use liquidity sweeps as entry triggers, not signals alone
✔ Avoid trades during low-strength or inactive sessions
AMSC performs best when used as a confluence system, not a mechanical entry-exit robot.
Ideal Use Cases
Intraday index trading
Swing trading in trending markets
Futures & FX structure-based trading
Traders who prefer context over indicators
What AMSC Is NOT
❌ Not a scalping toy
❌ Not a repainting indicator
❌ Not a one-click signal generator
It is built for disciplined traders who understand structure and risk.
Final Note
AMSC is designed to think like the market, not predict it.
Use it to read conditions, not chase signals.
MSC — BEST CLEAN SETUP (RECOMMENDED)
🎯 Design Philosophy
“Context first, signals last.”
The goal is to:
Read trend & structure at a glance
Avoid indicator overload
Let price + zones + channel do the heavy lifting
1️⃣ CORE VISUALS (KEEP ON)
These are non-negotiable.
🔹 Adaptive ATR Trend Channel
✅ ON
Primary trend bias
Use ATR Trendline Color = ON
This alone defines:
Bull vs Bear
Strength vs weakness
👉 If price is above channel → bullish context
👉 If price is below channel → bearish context
🔹 Pivot ATR Trend Channel
✅ ON
Channel fill: ON
Transparency ≥ 85
Purpose:
Visualise trend slope
Spot pullbacks inside trend
👉 Treat channel edges as dynamic structure, not entry signals.
🔹 Supply & Demand Zones
✅ ON
Transparency: 80–85
Zones auto-expire visually when violated
👉 These are your only horizontal levels.
2️⃣ SMART FILTERS (SELECTIVE)
💧 Liquidity Sweep
✅ ON
Lookback: 5
Tolerance: 0.15 ATR
👉 Use sweeps only near zones
❌ Ignore sweeps in the middle of nowhere
⏱ Session Filter
✅ ON
Trade only one session
India (for NSE)
London (for FX)
New York (for US indices)
❌ Do NOT enable multiple sessions simultaneously
🔍 Higher Timeframe (HTF)
✅ ON
Intraday: Daily
Swing: Weekly
👉 If HTF disagrees → no trade
3️⃣ WHAT TO TURN OFF (CRITICAL)
This is where clutter dies.
❌ Bollinger Bands
🚫 OFF by default
Use only when studying volatility compression
Otherwise adds visual noise
❌ Full ATR Channel (Ver 15)
🚫 OFF
Redundant with pivot + ATR trend
Keep only one channel logic
❌ SuperTrend Channel
🚫 OFF
ATR Trend Channel already covers this
❌ Pivot Levels (P, R1, S1…)
🚫 OFF
Zones replace static pivots
Too many horizontal lines = paralysis
❌ Previous Day / Week Levels
🚫 OFF
Turn ON only for index option trading
Otherwise clutter
4️⃣ MOVING AVERAGES (STRICT RULE)
Keep ONLY:
EMA Fast (9)
EMA Slow (21)
Optional:
HMA → ON only for scalping
❌ Do NOT stack multiple MAs visually
5️⃣ DASHBOARD (MINIMAL MODE)
🧭 Dashboard
✅ ON
Position: Top Right
Text Size: Small
Watch only:
Trend
Strength
HTF
Zone
Signal
Ignore factor numbers once confidence develops.
6️⃣ SIGNAL USAGE (DISCIPLINE RULE)
✔ Signal must appear inside a zone
✔ Signal must align with trend & HTF
✔ Signal must be during session
❌ Never take:
Signals mid-channel
Signals against HTF
Signals during flat strength (<30%)
7️⃣ RECOMMENDED PRESETS (COPY THIS)
🔹 Intraday (Clean)
Timeframe: 5m / 15m
HTF: Daily
Session: India / NY
BB: OFF
Full ATR: OFF
SuperTrend: OFF
Pivots: OFF
🔹 Swing (Ultra Clean)
Timeframe: 1H / 4H
HTF: Weekly
Liquidity: ON
Zones: ON
Dashboard: ON (small)
8️⃣ GOLDEN RULE (MOST IMPORTANT)
If you cannot explain the trade using only:
Trend channel
One zone
One sweep
Do not trade it.
🏁 FINAL VERDICT
AMSC is not cluttered by design.
Clutter comes from turning everything ON.
Used correctly:
The chart stays clean
Decisions become obvious
Overtrading disappears

Adaptive Market Structure Channel — Visual Layout
5
🧭 How to READ the Chart (Left → Right)
1️⃣ Core Trend Context (FIRST thing your eyes see)
ATR Trend Channel
Acts as dynamic support/resistance
Green = bullish regime
Red = bearish regime
No second trendline competing with it
👉 If price is on the wrong side → no trade
2️⃣ Pivot ATR Structure Channel (SECOND layer)
Sloping channel following real swing structure
Shows:
Trend acceleration
Healthy pullbacks
Channel fill is very light (high transparency)
👉 Pullbacks inside this channel are valid
👉 Breaks outside = caution / exit
3️⃣ Supply & Demand Zones (ONLY horizontal objects)
Few, wide, soft-colored zones
No pivot clutter, no fibs, no grids
👉 Trades happen only here
4️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Markers (EVENT-BASED)
Appears only near zones
Indicates stop-hunt, not entry by itself
👉 Sweep + zone + trend = setup
👉 Sweep alone = ignore
5️⃣ Dashboard (Decision Support, not distraction)
Small
Corner-placed
Shows only:
Trend
Strength
HTF bias
Zone
Signal
Session
👉 After experience, you’ll barely look at it
🚫 What You DO NOT See (Very Important)
A clean AMSC chart intentionally avoids:
Multiple moving averages
Pivot levels (P/R/S)
Too many channels
Oscillator panels
Bright fills or thick lines
If your chart looks “busy”, something is ON that should be OFF.
🧠 Mental Model (Keep This Image in Mind)
AMSC chart =
1 dynamic trend
1 structure channel
1 zone
1 liquidity event
1 decision
Anything more → clutter
Anything less → blind trading
✅ Final Visual Checklist (Before Trading)
✔ Chart background visible
✔ Candles clearly readable
✔ Zones visible but not loud
✔ Channel guides the eye
✔ Nothing overlaps price excessively
If yes → you are trading AMSC correctly

SUMA VuManChu Cipher B Revised to V6// This indicator is an updated version of the original WuManChu Cipher B indicator, I updated it to v6 and fixed a few things that were no longer supported in v6 from the original v3 or v4.
// I also made the RSI and Stoch to fully comedown to the bottom of the display panel to reflect what the rest of the parameters are doing, I adjusted the money flow to be more sensitive.
// I tried to leave the logic as it was original intended to be used,
// I renamed and put everything together, it was a bit challenging but Cipher B is such a great indicator that I think it deserved the update and the time I put into it.
eBacktesting: MultieBacktesting: Multi is an all-in-one chart toolkit built for structured day-trading study: multi-timeframe levels, “clean” movement zones, session context, bias, candle normalization, gaps, and a powerful alert system — all from one indicator.
What it can show on your chart
1) Multi-timeframe Support/Resistance (S/R) markup
- Detects and plots S/R levels from up to 8 configurable timeframes (mix HTF + LTF).
- Optional labeling styles: Simple, Type (S/R), or Directional.
- Optional price labels next to levels.
- Levels cleanup (decongestion): hides clustered levels to keep the chart readable
- Grouping: can group timeframes that share the same level into a single line.
- Level invalidation: levels can disappear after X passthroughs (with a “getting weaker” dashed style when close to invalidation).
2) Psychological levels (round numbers)
- Automatically draws round-number lines at a practical interval (with optional manual interval control).
- Has smart defaults for common markets (e.g., indices, BTC, metals).
3) Levels heatmap
- Shows level density as shaded “pressure areas”: areas where an agglomeration of S/R levels are present
- Can be simple or persisted (so you can study where price repeatedly reacts)
4) Repeated levels highlight
- Highlights “same area again” levels using a tolerance setting.
- Can require same direction (support with support / resistance with resistance) or allow any direction.
5) LTAs (Low Traffic Areas)
- Marks “air pockets” between levels where price can travel fast.
- Can be built from:
- S/R spacing (between detected levels), or
- Candle sequences (clean directional runs).
- Optional filters:
- By how “untouched” the boundary levels are (passthrough filter)
- By number of candles
- By size (points)
6) Clean zones (candle-based)
- Detects strong same-direction runs and boxes them as “clean zones” for study and backtesting practice.
7) Session Bias
- Computes a bias score from selected timeframes and shows it as a %.
- Can be weighted, inverted weight, or not weighted across timeframes (e.g. HTF candles having more weight towards bias calculation).
- Optional color coded “bias candles” overlay + option to dim weak candles so the signal is clearer.
- Alert when bias flips bullish/bearish/neutral.
8) Candles tools
- Smooth candles: removes candle gaps by drawing candles with open = previous close (useful for price action analysis).
- Ghost current candle: de-emphasizes the still-forming candle until it’s near completion (useful for not going in FOMO).
- Highlight no-wick candles: helps spot strong displacement / clean opens/closes.
- Snap candles: rounds candles to a chosen interval (ATR % or fixed), for cleaner structure reading.
- Optional candle stats: ATR & Average candle size
- Candle score: rates the last candle’s strength (body/wicks/size + context), useful for quick quality checks.
- Gaps: highlights unfilled gaps and optionally removes them once filled.
9) Sessions
- Up to 4 customizable sessions, each with its own color and optional background highlight.
- Option to hide candles outside session hours (great for focused session study).
10) Notifications
- Before session start alerts (X minutes early).
- Before session end alerts (X minutes early).
- Closing beyond detected S/R levels
- Closing beyond custom prices: type your prices (one per line)
- Proximity allowance + “advance notice” option for getting notified 30s/1m/5m before the candle closes based on your preferences
- Timer alerts (“check chart every X minutes”) with a custom message template.
eBacktesting integration (the important part)
This indicator fully integrates with the eBacktesting extension to automatically detect “important moments” during backtesting, so it can auto-pause, tag, and allow you to practice them step-by-step.
- When bias changed
- When a candle closed beyond an automatically detected S/R level
- When a candle closed beyond your custom price
- When new LTAs & clean zones are detected or invalidated
These indicator is built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance.
