Trend-Fib-Pivot Sweep [JopAlgo]Trend-Fib-Pivot Sweep — trend rails + Fib touch rules + sweep logic
Core idea
This tool blends two trend MAs, a rolling Fibonacci grid, and pivot sweep tags so you can do three things quickly:
Trend → MA1 vs MA2 stack and slope
Location → Fib touch/bounce/reject rules
Triggers → sweep → reclaim or trend pullback → continuation
Use the MAs for bias, the Fib levels for where price should react, and the sweeps to spot traps and entries after liquidity grabs.
What you’ll see
MA 1 (default 21, purple) and MA 2 (default 50, gray)
Fib lines from the highest/lowest of your lookback: 0.236 (light blue), 0.382 (green), 0.5 (white), 0.618 (orange), 0.786 (red)
Sweep markers: triangle above = high sweep; triangle below = low sweep
Background: soft green when MA1 > MA2, soft red when MA1 < MA2
Read it fast → Trend (background + MA stack)? Which Fib are we near? Any sweep and reclaim?
How the Fib levels work (and what to do at each)
0.236 → shallow pullback in a strong trend
→ Expect quick bounce continuation.
→ If price closes through 0.236 and stalls, momentum may be cooling; look to 0.382.
0.382 → standard trend pullback
→ In a bullish trend, tests here often bounce and continue.
→ Entry idea: touch/bounce at 0.382 with MA1 above MA2 and rising, then a higher-low and push back above 0.382 → enter.
0.5 → midline / fair value
→ Often the “decision” level.
→ Clean continuation if 0.5 holds; deeper rotation if we accept below (for longs).
0.618 (“golden”) → deep pullback / last line for trend
→ Best risk-defined continuation entries come from rejects/reclaims here.
→ For longs: wick below 0.618, then reclaim 0.618 → long with stop under the sweep low.
0.786 → exhaustive pullback / trap zone
→ If trend is truly alive, 0.786 rejects and snaps back.
→ If we accept beyond 0.786 (closes), expect a full range rotation or trend change.
Touch/bounce rule of thumb
You want to see price interact: touch → reject (wick) → reclaim the level.
A close back above the Fib after a downside probe (or below after an upside probe) is a stronger confirmation than intrabar wicks.
What the MAs do (and how to use them)
MA1 (fast) vs MA2 (slow) define bias and momentum.
MA1 above MA2 and both rising (↗) → bullish regime.
MA1 below MA2 and both falling (↘) → bearish regime.
Flat / crossing often → balance; lean on sweeps and the deeper Fibs (0.5/0.618/0.786).
Interaction with Fibs
Highest quality: Fib level + MA confluence (e.g., 0.382 near MA1).
When MA1 = dynamic trigger: reclaim MA1 at a Fib → continuation signal.
When MA2 = last defense: lose MA2 at 0.5/0.618 → expect deeper rotation.
Sweep logic (why it matters and how to execute)
High sweep = current bar’s high takes out the recent high then fails → liquidity grab above.
Low sweep = current bar’s low takes the recent low then fails → liquidity grab below.
Execution idea
Longs: low sweep into 0.5/0.618/0.786, then reclaim the Fib and, ideally, MA1 → enter; stop under sweep low.
Shorts: high sweep into 0.5/0.382/0.236, then reclaim below the Fib and MA1 → enter; stop above sweep high.
Repaint note
If you enable Lag-Confirmed Pivot Mode, sweep labels are stricter and may “finalize” later (can appear as repaint).
For signals/alerts, prefer non-repaint mode; for review/training, lag-confirmed is fine.
How to trade it (simple playbook)
Direction filter (use MAs first)
Bullish bias → MA1 > MA2 and not flat → look for longs at 0.236/0.382/0.5.
Bearish bias → MA1 < MA2 → look for shorts at 0.236/0.382/0.5 from above.
Entries (two clean templates)
Trend pullback → continuation
→ In bull regime: price pulls to 0.382 or 0.5, shows rejection wick, then reclaims level and MA1 → enter long.
→ In bear regime: mirror with short from above.
Sweep → reclaim
→ Downside sweep through 0.618/0.786, then close back above the Fib and through MA1 → enter long.
→ Upside sweep through 0.382/0.236, then close back below and under MA1 → enter short.
Risk & targets
Stops → beyond the sweep extreme or below/above the reclaimed Fib (structure-based).
Targets → next Fib ladder (e.g., long from 0.5 → target 0.382 → 0.236), or obvious POC/HVNs if you use Volume Profile.
Settings that matter (and how to tune)
MA Types/Lengths
EMA (default fast) = responsive trend read.
SMA/HMA = smoother backbone.
21/50 is a solid default; swing traders can run 34/89.
Fib Lookback
Shorter lookback = tighter range, more sensitive levels;
Longer = broader swing map, fewer interactions but stronger signals.
Sweeps
Sweep Detection Range controls how “recent” the pivot must be (default 10).
Lag-Confirmed mode reduces false sweeps but can finalize later.
Starter presets
Intraday (15m–1H) → MA1 21 EMA, MA2 50 SMA, Fib lookback 100–150, Sweeps 10
Swing (4H) → MA1 34 EMA, MA2 89 SMA, Fib lookback 150–250, Sweeps 10–14
Pattern cheat sheet
0.382 kiss & go (trend day) → quick tag and bounce in bull regime → continuation.
0.5 decision → hold = trend resumes; failure = rotate to 0.618.
0.618 sweep + reclaim → high-quality continuation with tight risk.
0.786 trap → deep flush then snapback; if acceptance persists, expect full rotation.
MA pinch → break → MA1 and MA2 compress, then price breaks and holds a Fib → expansion leg.
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2 → use VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs as concrete targets; look for Fib + VP confluence.
Anchored VWAP → reclaims/rejections at anchored lines with Fib reaction and MA agreement improve timing.
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Buying into 0.618/0.786 without a reclaim (catching falling knives).
Fading a 0.236 pullback when MAs are strongly ↗ (fighting trend).
Taking sweeps without a reclaim/confirmation.
Ignoring the MA stack when choosing direction.

Triple VWAP [JopAlgo]Triple VWAP — three volume-weighted rails for trend, pullback, and reversion
Core idea
This is three rolling VWAPs (VWMA-style) with user-set lengths. Together they show:
Trend structure → stack & slope of the three lines
Pullback zones → dynamic VWAP supports/resistances
Reversion risk → distance from the fastest VWAP
Use the stack (fast/medium/slow) for bias, slope for momentum, and distance to avoid chasing.
What you’ll see
VWAP 1 (fast), VWAP 2 (medium), VWAP 3 (slow)
Colors match inputs; each line can be toggled on/off
No bands or extras—just three clean volume-weighted rails
Read it fast → Which line is on top? Are they fanning out or braiding? How far is price from the fast VWAP?
How to use it (simple playbook)
Direction filter
Bullish bias → fast above medium above slow and slopes ↗
Bearish bias → fast below medium below slow and slopes ↘
Entry timing
Trend pullback (with level): In a bullish stack, wait for price to retest fast/medium VWAP at a real level → look for the first higher-low and continuation.
Reclaim / reject: Long when price reclaims fast → medium with holds (mirror for shorts on rejects).
Don’t chase: If price is far above the fast VWAP, wait for a revert toward fast before engaging.
Location first (always)
Act at real references → Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) and Anchored VWAP
No level → no trade
Quality check (optional)
CVDv1 → prefer Alignment OK, avoid entries when Absorption reads against your side
Entries, exits, risk
Continuation long: Bullish stack ↗, pullback into fast/medium at VAL / AVWAP / LVN, hold → enter
Stop → below structure/last swing • Targets → POC/HVNs or prior swing
Break + retest: Price crosses medium and holds above it, lines begin to fan out ↗ → enter on the retest
Fade to value (advanced): Extended move into VAH with price stretched far from fast VWAP → look for reject and revert toward POC/fast
Trim/Avoid: Into HVNs with lines flattening or braiding → take profits / stand down
Settings that matter (and how to tune)
VWAP Length 1 / 2 / 3 → choose a fast / medium / slow ladder
Shorter = more reactive, more noise
Longer = steadier bias, more lag
Visibility toggles → hide one line if cluttered; many traders keep fast & slow only
Starter presets
Scalp (1–5m) → 20 / 50 / 100
Intraday (15m–1H) → 50 / 100 / 200
Swing (2H–4H) → 50 / 150 / 300
High-vol pairs → 30 / 60 / 120
Pattern cheat sheet
Stack flip: Fast crosses medium, then slow, and all slopes turn ↗ / ↘ → regime change
Triple pinch → expansion: Lines braid tight, then fan out with price holding a level → expansion leg
Kiss & go: Pullback tags fast VWAP in trend and bounces → add/enter with structure
Mean-revert tag: Stretch away from fast into VP edge → revert toward fast/POC
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2 → entries at VAH/VAL/LVNs, targets at POC/HVNs
Anchored VWAP → session/weekly/event anchors for major reclaims/rejections; use Triple VWAP for day-to-day timing
CVDv1 (optional) → take VWAP-aligned setups with flow; skip when Absorption is against you
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Trading against the VWAP stack
Chasing far from the fast VWAP
Acting mid-range while lines braid (do less; wait for expansion or edges)

TSI v2 [JopAlgo] – Sniper VersionTSI v2 — “Sniper” momentum that’s fast, clean, and actionable
Core idea
TSI (True Strength Index) turns raw price momentum into a smoothed, normalized oscillator so you can see trend side, turns, and follow-through without chop.
Workflow: momentum (close - close ) → double EMA smooth (fast = shortLength, slow = longLength) → normalize vs smoothed absolute momentum → scale to ±100 → signal EMA (signalLength) for triggers.
Above 0 → bullish momentum regime
Below 0 → bearish momentum regime
TSI vs Signal cross → momentum turn
Farther from 0 → stronger impulse
What you’ll see
TSI line (blue) — main momentum read
Signal line (orange) — trigger for turns
Zero line (gray) — bull/bear divider
Alerts for bullish/bearish crosses (enable if you want pane markers)
Read it in 3 seconds: Which side of 0? Did TSI cross its signal? Are bars expanding or fading?
How to use it (simple playbook)
Direction filter
Longs while TSI ≥ 0, shorts while TSI ≤ 0.
Cleanest continuation: TSI crosses up its signal above 0 (mirror down).
Act at real locations
Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) or Anchored VWAP reclaims/rejections.
No level, no trade.
Break + retest
Break a level with TSI > 0 and crossing up → enter on the first retest that holds (mirror down).
Trend pullback
In an uptrend, TSI dips toward the signal (ideally holds above 0), then re-crosses up near a level → continuation entry.
Do less in chop
If TSI and signal braid around 0, it’s balance—only trade edges with tight risk.
Entries, exits, risk
Continuation long: TSI > 0, crosses up at VAL/AVWAP/MA cluster → enter.
Stop: below structure/last swing. Targets: POC/HVNs or next swing high.
Fresh short: Breakdown + TSI < 0 crosses down → enter on failed retest.
Invalidation: quick re-cross up + level reclaim.
Manage: Trim when TSI flattens or crosses against you into target/HVN.
Settings that matter (and how to tune)
Short EMA (default 13): responsiveness (lower = faster, noisier).
Long EMA (default 25): backbone smoothing (higher = steadier).
Signal EMA (default 7): trigger sensitivity (lower = earlier, more flips).
Suggested presets
Scalp (1–5m): 8 / 21 / 5
Intraday (15m–1H): 13 / 25 / 7 (Sniper defaults)
Swing (2H–4H): 21 / 50 / 9
Daily backdrop: 25 / 100 / 9 (execute on lower TF)
Pattern cheat sheet
Zero-line reclaim: TSI crosses 0 and signal together → regime shift; use first retest.
Continuation curl: TSI pulls toward signal, holds above 0, then re-crosses up → add/enter with trend.
Weak break tell: Level poke while TSI fails to cross or stalls near 0 → skip/wait.
Light divergence: Price higher high while TSI lower high → thinning; trail tight into HVNs.
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2: entries at VAH/VAL/LVNs, targets at POC/HVNs.
Anchored VWAP: reclaim/reject + TSI cross same direction = high-quality timing.
CVDv1 (optional): take TSI-aligned trades with flow (Alignment OK, no Absorption).
RVOL (optional): prefer breaks with participation above cutoff.
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Longs with TSI < 0 or shorts with TSI > 0.
Chasing when TSI is flattening/crossing against you into a level.
Trading mid-range while TSI/signal whipsaw around 0.
Quick defaults to start
13 / 25 / 7 on 15m–1H
Process: Location → TSI side (0) → TSI vs Signal cross → (optional) CVD/RVOL check → Structure-based risk

Trend MACD [JopAlgo]Trend MACD — momentum made obvious (4-state histogram)
What it does (one line):
A clean MACD histogram using EMA(fast) − EMA(slow) with a signal line. The columns change color to show trend side and momentum change at a glance.
Green = above 0 and rising → positive trend, momentum building
White (upside) = above 0 but fading → still positive, momentum cooling
White (downside) = below 0 but improving → still negative, momentum recovering
Red = below 0 and falling → negative trend, momentum building down
Zero line = the bull/bear divider. Distance from zero = thrust. Color change = momentum shift.
What you’ll see
Dashed zero line for the trend divider
Column histogram with the 4-state color logic above
No clutter—just momentum and regime, clean
Read it in 3 seconds: Which side of 0? Are bars getting bigger or smaller? Did the color flip?
How to use it (simple playbook)
Direction filter
Look for longs while histogram is ≥ 0.
Look for shorts while histogram is ≤ 0.
Timing
Green sequence (above 0, growing): join pullbacks at real levels.
White above 0: positive but cooling—buy pullbacks only at levels, don’t chase.
White below 0: negative but improving—prepare for reclaim trades at levels.
Red sequence: trend down—sell pops at levels.
Location first (always)
Use Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) and Anchored VWAP (session/weekly/event).
No level, no trade.
Quality check (optional, strong)
CVDv1 : execute when Alignment OK and no Absorption against your side.
RVOL (if you track it): prefer breakouts with RVOL above cutoff.
Entries, exits, risk (keep it tight)
Continuation long: price retests VAL / AVWAP / MA cluster in an up regime (≥ 0). Histogram stays ≥ 0 and turns green again → enter.
Stop: under structure. Targets: POC/HVNs or next swing.
Break + retest: breakout through a level while histogram flips from white→green above 0 (or white→red below 0 for shorts). Enter on the retest that holds.
Trim / avoid: when bars shrink toward 0 (white) into your target / HVN—momentum is cooling. Don’t chase fresh highs with white bars.
Settings that matter (how to tune)
Fast Length (default 25)
Shorter = quicker turns (more noise). Longer = steadier, slower.
Slow Length (default 200)
Big backbone. For intraday you might use 21/55 or 12/26; for swing the default 25/200 or 20/100 is solid.
Signal Smoothing (default 9)
Higher = smoother, fewer flips. Lower = more reactive.
Source
close is fine; if you use hlc3, expect slightly smoother behavior.
Suggested presets
Scalp (1–5m): 12 / 26 / 9
Intraday (15m–1H): 21 / 55 / 9
Swing (2H–4H): 25 / 100 or 25 / 200 / 9
Daily backdrop: 20 / 100 or 50 / 200 / 9 (execute on lower TF)
Pattern cheat sheet
Green staircase above 0 → trend leg; buy pullbacks to VP/AVWAP.
White above 0 → positive but tiring; avoid chasing; wait for retest.
Flip through 0 with expansion → regime change; use the first retest at a level.
Red staircase below 0 → trend down; sell pops at VP edges.
Diverging price vs shrinking bars → momentum thinning; tighten risk.
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2: entries at VAH/VAL/LVNs, targets at POC/HVNs.
Anchored VWAP: reclaim/reject with matching histogram side is high-quality timing.
CVDv1: take MACD-aligned setups with flow (ALIGN OK, no Absorption).
RVOL: confirmation that the push has participation.
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Longs with red momentum or shorts with green momentum.
Chasing new highs on white (cooling) bars.
Trading mid-range when histogram keeps whipsawing around 0 (do less; wait for level).

MTF State of Delivery by @traderprimezOverview
This indicator provides a comprehensive, multi-timeframe view of institutional orderflow, a core concept from Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies.
It is designed to objectively identify the market's "State of Delivery"—whether price is currently in a bullish or bearish orderflow—on both your current chart (Lower Timeframe) and a relevant Higher Timeframe.
By visualizing these key directional shifts, the indicator helps traders align with the dominant market bias, identify high-probability setups, and avoid trading against the underlying institutional intent.
Core Concept: The Orderflow Switch
The entire logic is built upon a specific two-candle price action pattern called a "Switch," which signals a potential turning point in the market.
Bullish Switch: A bullish candle followed immediately by a bearish candle. This duo creates a short-term resistance level. Orderflow is confirmed Bullish when a later bullish candle closes above this level.
Bearish Switch: A bearish candle followed immediately by a bullish candle. This duo creates a short-term support level. Orderflow is confirmed Bearish when a later bearish candle closes below this level.
Features & How to Read the Chart
This indicator plots several visual elements to provide a complete picture of the market's state:
Status Table: Located at the top of the chart, this table provides an at-a-glance summary of the current State of Delivery for both the Higher Timeframe (HTF) and Lower Timeframe (LTF). The status cells dynamically change color to reflect the current bias (Blue for Bullish, Red for Bearish).
Confirmed Orderflow Lines:
Thick Solid Lines: These represent the confirmed orderflow on the Higher Timeframe. A thick blue line indicates the HTF is in a bullish state, while a thick red line indicates a bearish state.
Thin Solid Lines: These represent the confirmed orderflow on your current chart (LTF). A thin blue line confirms a local bullish shift, and a thin red line confirms a local bearish shift.
Pending Switch Levels (Dotted Lines):
These forward-extending dotted lines mark the most recent switch levels that have not yet been broken. They represent the "lines in the sand"—the exact price levels that need to be breached to confirm the next shift in orderflow on both the LTF and HTF.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator's power comes from its ability to sync LTF price action with the HTF narrative. It automatically determines the relevant HTF based on your current chart, using the following logical pairings:
1m or 3m chart 15 Minute
5m chart 1 Hour
15m chart 4 Hour
1h chart 1 Day
4h chart 1 Week
1d chart 1 Month
Note: The HTF feature will be inactive on unmapped timeframes.
How to Use in Your Trading
This tool is designed to be a confluence factor in your trading system, not a standalone signal generator.
High-Probability Setups: The strongest signals occur when the LTF confirms an orderflow shift that is in the same direction as the established HTF bias. For example, look for long entries after a thin blue LTF line appears while the dominant HTF line is also blue.
Confirmation: Use the break of a pending (dotted) line as a final confirmation for an entry you have already identified through your own analysis (e.g., at a Fair Value Gap or Order Block).
Risk Management: An opposing orderflow shift can serve as an early warning to manage a trade or take profits. For instance, if you are long and a bearish (red) LTF orderflow is confirmed, it may signal that the short-term momentum is shifting against you.
Settings
The indicator is fully customizable, allowing you to:
Toggle the visibility of the Status Table, HTF/LTF confirmed lines, and HTF/LTF pending lines.
Customize the colors and line widths for all elements to match your chart theme.
