MA Distance Percentile - HighQ ToolsHighQTools — MA Distance Percentile (MADP)
As always, if anyone has any tips or additional features they'd like to see, feel free to reach out!
MA Distance Percentile (MADP) measures how far price is from its moving average relative to its own recent history.
Instead of showing raw distance (which varies by symbol, volatility, and timeframe), MADP normalizes price-to-MA distance into a 0–100 percentile rank over a rolling lookback window. This allows traders to quickly identify when price is relatively extended or compressed compared to recent conditions.
🔍 How It Works
A moving average is calculated (EMA by default, configurable).
The ratio of price / MA is computed.
That ratio is percentile-ranked over a user-defined lookback window.
The result is optionally smoothed for clarity.
High values (e.g., 80–100): Price is more extended above its MA than it has been recently.
Low values (e.g., 0–20): Price is relatively compressed or discounted vs its MA.
🧭 How to Use It
MADP is best used as a context tool, not a standalone signal:
Identify mean-reversion potential at relative extremes
Distinguish trend continuation vs exhaustion
Filter entries taken near highs/lows vs those taken in compression
Combine with structure, volume, delta, or VWAP-based tools
Optional visual levels (20 / 50 / 80) are provided for quick reference. Simple signals are included but disabled by default to encourage discretionary use.
⚙️ Defaults & Notes
Default MA: 20-period EMA
Default lookback: 200 bars

EURUSD Macro DifferentialEUR–USD Macro Differential
1. Overview
The EUR–USD Macro Differential is a long-term, fundamentals-driven indicator designed to identify structural currency strength and weakness between the Euro and the US Dollar.
Its purpose is not short-term forecasting, but the identification of persistent macroeconomic regimes that typically last several months to multiple quarters.
The indicator is intended to act as a directional bias filter, not as an entry or timing signal.
2. Conceptual Foundation
Foreign exchange trends at the macro level are primarily driven by relative economic conditions, not by isolated data releases.
This model is built on three core principles:
Relative, not absolute analysis
The Euro is evaluated against the US Dollar simultaneously, ensuring that the output reflects relative macro pressure, which is the true driver of FX trends.
Regime-level information, not single data prints
All macro inputs are time-averaged before normalization, so that individual releases cannot distort the signal.
Structural smoothness over responsiveness
The indicator is intentionally slow. A meaningful change in the output requires persistent changes in macro conditions, not short-term volatility.
3. Macro Components
For both the Euro Area and the United States, the model incorporates the same five macroeconomic pillars:
Real Interest Rate
(Policy rate minus CPI YoY inflation)
Policy Rate Level
Economic Growth
(GDP growth, quarterly, structurally averaged)
Labor Market Tightness
(Unemployment rate, inversely weighted)
Monetary Liquidity
(M2 money supply, negatively weighted)
Each component reflects a different transmission channel through which macro conditions affect currency valuation.
4. Data Mediation (Key Design Choice)
Before any normalization or aggregation, each macro series is smoothed using a regime-appropriate moving average:
Interest rates, inflation, unemployment → multi-month averages
GDP → multi-quarter averages
Money supply → long rolling averages
This step ensures that:
single releases do not create artificial spikes
only persistent macro changes influence the indicator
the output reflects economic pressure, not news volatility
This mediation step is what makes the indicator structural rather than reactive.
5. Normalization & Aggregation
After mediation:
Each component is standardized using a long-horizon Z-score
Components are weighted according to their historical relevance in FX macro dynamics
Euro and US composite scores are calculated separately
The final output is the EUR score minus the USD score
This construction ensures symmetry and comparability across economic regimes.
6. Interpretation
The indicator should be interpreted as follows:
Positive values → structural Euro strength vs USD
Negative values → structural USD strength vs EUR
Values near zero → fair value / transitional regime
Importantly:
the direction and persistence of the indicator matter more than its exact level
regime changes are expected to be rare but meaningful
7. Intended Use
This indicator is designed to be used as:
a primary macro bias filter
a guide for position direction and exposure
a framework for aligning technical setups with macro conditions
It is not intended for:
trade entries
stop placement
short-term signal generation
The correct workflow is:
Macro Differential → Bias → Technical Structure → Execution
8. Key Advantages
Resistant to single-data distortions
Aligned with real macro transmission mechanisms
Produces stable, persistent regimes
Suitable for swing, position, and macro trading horizons
9. Final Note
A macro indicator should not be judged by how often it moves, but by how meaningful its movements are.
The EUR–USD Macro Differential is intentionally conservative by design.
When it changes direction, it reflects a genuine shift in underlying macroeconomic forces, not short-term market noise.
Ash_TheTrader: Institutional Truth / Volume Profile
STOP GUESSING. See the Institutional Truth. (No Repaint)
Most retail traders are trading blind. You are looking at lagging moving averages and "magic" lines that disappear when the price moves against them.
The institutions? They are trading Liquidity.
For months, I have been developing a proprietary engine that strips away the noise and reveals the Statistical Truth of the market. This is not just another "buy/sell" indicator. This is an Institutional Liquidity Engine designed to show you exactly where the money is hiding.
Introducing: Ash_TheTrader: Institutional Truth
👁️ What is "The Truth"?
This script utilizes an Auto-Anchored Liquidity Engine that automatically detects the start of true market cycles. It builds a real-time profile of volume, delta, and imbalance to answer one simple question: Who is actually in control?
It features a "Black Box" Signal Engine that refuses to repaint. If it says BIAS ↑ , the institutional flow is bullish. Period.
🚀 Key Features
• 🚫 NO REPAINT Bias: Signals are mathematically locked. They never disappear.
• 🏦 Institutional Logic: It filters out "Retail Traps." If price hasn't reclaimed the Value Level (POC), it won't signal a trade—saving you from buying the top.
• ⚡ Dual-Core Engine: Switch between Swing Mode (Macro Trends) and Scalp Mode (M1/M5 Aggressive Algorithms).
• 🧱 Liquidity Walls: Bright Neon blocks appear where 75%+ of volume is one-sided. This is where you place your limit orders.
📚 Step-by-Step: How to Trade "The Truth"
1. Choose Your Engine
Go to Settings > Algorithm Mode.
• Select "Normal (Swing)" for H1/H4 trend trading (Higher Winrate).
• Select "Scalp (Aggressive)" for M1/M5/M15 (Faster Signals).
2. The "Green Light" Setup (Long)
• Wait for the Dashboard: Look for the signal ✅ SWING BIAS ↑ or ⚡ SCALP BIAS ↑ .
• Check the Trap: Ensure the text does NOT say "⚠️ TRAP."
• Entry: Enter on the close of the candle.
• Stop Loss: Place below the Yellow "Truth" Level (Point of Control) or the recent Swing Low.
3. The "Brick Wall" Scalp
• If you see a bright NEON RED block appear on the profile, that is a Bearish Wall .
• Price will often bounce off this level aggressively.
• Strategy: Place a Sell Limit order at the Neon Red block for a quick reaction trade.
4. The Divergence Warning
• Keep an eye on the bottom banner of the dashboard.
• If you are Long, but you see a big RED "BEARISH DIV" warning, take profit immediately. The institutions are leaving the trade.
⚠️ A Warning
This tool is powerful, but it reveals the reality of the market. Sometimes the Dashboard will say "⚠️ ACCUMULATING" or "⚠️ NEUTRAL."
Do not force a trade. The secret to a high winrate is knowing when not to trade. Let the engine do the work.
Add it to your chart now. Stop guessing.
Cheers,
@Ash_TheTrader
Lux-Reversal Sniper V2Lux-Reversal Sniper V2 – Strategy Description
Lux-Reversal Sniper V2 is a precision-focused trading indicator designed to capture the earliest phase of trend reversals with strong momentum confirmation.
The script combines LuxAlgo-style pivot structure analysis with a proprietary real-body breakout filter, allowing traders to isolate only high-quality reversal entries while avoiding common false signals.
Core Concept
This indicator targets moments when price decisively breaks a key structural level at the exact moment momentum enters the market.
Rather than reacting late, Lux-Reversal Sniper V2 is built to identify the first actionable move following a structural shift.
Entry Conditions
A signal is generated only when all required conditions align:
1. Structural Breakout
Price breaks above resistance or below support derived from LuxAlgo-style pivot highs and lows.
This confirms that a previously respected market structure has been invalidated.
2. Real Body Break (Momentum Validation)
The candle’s real body must fully exceed the previous candle’s wick.
This condition removes wick-based false breakouts and ensures that only genuine, committed price movement triggers a signal.
3. Trend Synchronization (5-Minute EMA)
The script references the 20-period EMA on the 5-minute timeframe, requiring price to align with the new directional bias before signaling.
Market Environment Filter
To prevent low-energy trades, the indicator monitors market conditions in real time:
ATR (5-minute) ≥ 5.5, or
ADX (5-minute) ≥ 20
When either condition is met, the chart background turns orange, indicating the Trading Zone.
No signals are generated outside this zone, regardless of pattern quality.
Real-Time Signal Execution
Signals are triggered immediately when conditions are met, without waiting for candle close.
This allows traders to capture the initial pips of a reversal, making the indicator particularly effective for scalping and fast intraday trading.
Target Projection
Upon entry, the script automatically plots a 10-pip target line, encouraging traders to move beyond minimal scalps and focus on higher-expectancy moves.
Design Philosophy
Lux-Reversal Sniper V2 is not designed to trade every setup.
It is engineered to act only at moments of maximum probability, when structure breaks, momentum confirms, and market energy is present simultaneously.
When the background turns orange and a breakout occurs with a real-body candle, the signal represents the most critical opportunity of the reversal phase.

Scalp Signal Pro# Scalp Signal Pro™
## Multi-Confluence Day Trading System for SPY, QQQ & IWM
---
## 📌 Overview
**Scalp Signal Pro™** is a professional-grade trading indicator specifically optimized for day trading and scalping major ETFs on 4-minute and 15-minute timeframes. Unlike simple crossover indicators that generate excessive noise, SSP uses a sophisticated multi-confluence scoring system that analyzes 15+ technical factors simultaneously, only triggering signals when multiple conditions align perfectly.
The indicator was designed with one goal: **Quality over Quantity**. Rather than flooding your chart with signals, SSP waits for high-probability setups where trend, momentum, volume, and price action all confirm the same direction.
---
## 🎯 Key Features
### 1. Multi-Confluence Scoring Engine
Every potential signal is scored across 15 technical factors:
- RSI momentum and extremes
- MACD crossovers and histogram strength
- 4-EMA stack alignment (9/21/50/200)
- VWAP position and bounces
- ADX trend strength with DI confirmation
- Volume spikes and buying/selling pressure
- Stochastic RSI crosses in extreme zones
- Bollinger Band bounces and squeezes
- Candlestick patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star)
- Momentum and Rate of Change
- Key level proximity (support/resistance)
- RSI divergence detection
Signals only trigger when the combined score reaches your threshold (default: 9 points).
### 2. Smart Quality Filters
Before any signal appears, it must pass 8 strict quality gates:
- ✅ Trend alignment (price vs EMAs and VWAP)
- ✅ Momentum confirmation (multiple indicators agree)
- ✅ Volume validation (above average required)
- ✅ Candle quality (no weak/indecision candles)
- ✅ No counter-signals (avoid overbought longs, oversold shorts)
- ✅ Trending market (ADX confirmation)
- ✅ Anti-chop filter (avoid consolidation zones)
- ✅ Session timing (avoid lunch hour chop)
### 3. Real-Time MTF Analysis Panel
A beautiful dashboard displaying market conditions across 5 timeframes:
- **Momentum** (0-200 scale) - Overall directional strength
- **Sentiment** (0-100 scale) - Bullish vs bearish bias
- **Volatility** (0-100 scale) - Current vs historical volatility
- **Bias Indicator** - Clear BULLISH / BEARISH / NEUTRAL reading
### 4. Automatic Key Levels
Six critical support/resistance levels plotted automatically:
- **PDH/PDL** - Previous Day High/Low (Cyan)
- **2DH/2DL** - 2 Days Ago High/Low (Orange)
- **PWH/PWL** - Previous Week High/Low (Pink)
Signals at these levels receive bonus scoring for higher probability setups.
### 5. Dynamic EMA Cloud
Visual trend identification using EMA 9/21 cloud:
- Green cloud = Bullish trend
- Red cloud = Bearish trend
- Cloud acts as dynamic support/resistance for retest entries
---
## 📊 How It Works
### Signal Generation Process
```
Step 1: Calculate confluence score (15 factors)
↓
Step 2: Check if score ≥ minimum threshold (default: 9)

Institutional Renko Engine Regime Adaptive PRO
📘 USER GUIDE
Institutional Renko Engine (Step-by-Step)
________________________________________
1️⃣ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS (IN SIMPLE WORDS)
“This indicator helps you trade only when the market is clean, trending, and worth trading — while controlling risk.”
It does three jobs:
1. Tells you which direction to trade
2. Tells you when to enter
3. Protects you from bad conditions
It does not predict price.
It helps you follow structure and discipline.
________________________________________
2️⃣ WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL INDICATORS
Most indicators:
• React to time
• Give many false signals
• Ignore volatility
This indicator:
• Uses price movement (Renko) instead of time
• Adapts to volatility automatically
• Trades only in favorable regimes
• Limits risk like institutions do
________________________________________
3️⃣ UNDERSTANDING RENKO (VERY IMPORTANT)
What Is Renko?
Renko charts move only when price moves enough.
• No movement → no new brick
• Enough movement → new brick
Why This Helps Beginners
• Removes noise
• Shows real trends
• Prevents emotional overtrading
Think of it like this:
“The market must earn the right to give a signal.”
________________________________________
4️⃣ BRICK SIZE – HOW SENSITIVE THE SYSTEM IS
Brick size controls:
• How many signals you get
• How big your stop loss is
• How fast trends appear
Best Beginner Setting
✅ Brick Mode: ATR Adaptive
Why?
• Automatically adjusts to market speed
• Works on all assets
• Least manual tuning
________________________________________
5️⃣ GREEN ZONE & RED ZONE (YOUR DIRECTION FILTER)
This is the most important rule.
How Zones Are Created
• EMA 10 and EMA 30 are calculated on Renko price
What Zones Mean
Zone Meaning Beginner Rule
🟢 Green Uptrend Look only for BUY
🔴 Red Downtrend Look only for SELL
❌ Never trade against the zone.
________________________________________
6️⃣ HTF vs LTF (BIG PICTURE vs ENTRY TIMING)
HTF (Higher Timeframe)
• Shows overall market direction
• Example: 15 min / 1 hour
LTF (Lower Timeframe)
• Used for entries
• Example: 3 min / 5 min
How to Use Them Together
1. Check HTF trend
2. Trade only in that direction on LTF
Beginner Rule:
“HTF decides direction, LTF decides timing.”
________________________________________
7️⃣ ENTRY TYPES (WHEN TO ENTER)
🔹 A. First Entry (Trend Start)
Triggered when:
• Zone turns Green (or Red)
• HTF agrees
• New Renko direction starts
Use this when:
• Market just starts trending
⚠ Slightly riskier for beginners
________________________________________
🔹 B. Re-Entry (BEST FOR ENTRY)
Triggered when:
• Trend already exists
• Price pulls back near EMA 10
• Trend resumes
Why this is better:
• Higher success rate
• Less stress
• More professional
👉 USERS should focus on Re-Entries only.
________________________________________
8️⃣ VOLATILITY REGIMES (WHEN TO TRADE / WHEN TO WAIT)
The indicator labels volatility as:
• LOW
• NORMAL
• HIGH
Rules
Volatility What to Do
LOW ❌ Do not trade
NORMAL ✅ Best for Swing
HIGH ⚠ Trade carefully
This avoids:
• Boredom trades
• Choppy losses
________________________________________
9️⃣ EXECUTION STYLE (SCALPING vs SWING)
Swing Mode
• Wider stops
• Fewer trades
• More patience
Scalping Mode
• Faster exits
• Smaller stops
• Needs experience
👉 Beginners should always start with Swing Mode.
________________________________________
🔟 STOP LOSS & EXIT (VERY CLEAR RULES)
How Stops Work
• Stop loss is based on Renko bricks
• Not random points
Beginner Exit Rules
• Stop loss is automatic
• Target = 1R or trail with trend
• Never widen stop
Rule to remember:
“Small loss is success. Big loss is failure.”
Gemini VPA Auto-Adaptive [Pro Dash v2.5]🇬🇧 ENGLISH: Operational Manual & Technical Specs
1. General Description
Gemini VPA Pro (Volume Price Analysis) is an advanced institutional-grade trading tool designed to decode "Smart Money" intentions. Unlike traditional volume indicators, Gemini VPA does not just measure the quantity of trades, but analyzes the dynamic relationship between Volume and Candle Spread (Price Action), identifying anomalies invisible to the naked eye.
2. Technique of Use (Operational Strategy)
The indicator paints the main chart candles (Neon Mode) and provides text-based signals on the Dashboard.
A. Color Code (Neon Candles)
🟢 NEON GREEN (PUSH LONG): Indicates a Genuine Push. High buying volume is supporting the upward movement.
Action: Ideal for Breakout entries or trend continuation.
🔴 NEON RED (PUSH SHORT): Indicates a Genuine Dump. Institutional operators are selling aggressively.
Action: Ideal for Short entries or closing Long positions.
🟡 GOLD (TRAP / CHURN): The most powerful signal. Indicates extremely high volume but a small/compressed candle. Price is being blocked (Absorption).
Action: Reversal Warning. If it appears after a long trend, it signals a "Retail Trap" and an imminent reversal.
B. The Operational Dashboard ("ACTION")
The on-screen table provides an instant summary of market status:
WAIT (Grey): Low volume, directionless market. Do not trade.
PREPARE (Orange): Volatility "Squeeze". The market is quiet but ready to explode. Prepare for entry.
PUSH LONG / SHORT (Green/Red): Trend confirmation.
TRAP ALERT (Gold): Warning of potential manipulation or reversal.
3. Realization Notes (Development)
This script was engineered in Pine Script v6 with the following technical features:

KTBB Intel: Multi-Timeframe Context [Kabroda]Concept & Overview KTBB Intel is a multi-timeframe structural analysis tool designed to visualize significant Supply and Demand zones directly on your intraday chart. While many traders struggle to manually synchronize levels from higher timeframes (HTF), this tool automates the process, plotting strictly defined structural pivots from the 4-Hour and 1-Hour charts onto your lower timeframe workspace.
Technical Methodology & Non-Repainting Logic This indicator is built on a custom implementation of the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions.
Data Fetching: It utilizes request.security to query data from user-defined higher timeframes (default: 240min and 60min).
Repainting Protection: A critical feature of this script is its stability. It accesses higher timeframe data looking at closed candles only (using specific index offsets). This ensures that the zones plotted historically are identical to what a trader would have seen in real-time, preventing the common "repainting" issue found in many multi-timeframe scripts.
Zone Construction: When a valid pivot high or low is confirmed on the HTF, the script draws a box object extending to the right. This box remains active until a new, opposing pivot structure invalidates or supersedes it.
Indicator Components
Macro Supply/Demand (Red/Green): Represents the 4-Hour structural bias. These are the "Major" levels where price often pauses or reverses.
Tactical Supply/Demand (Orange/Blue): Represents the 1-Hour structural bias. These are "Minor" levels useful for intraday targets or entries.
Settings & Inputs Users retain full control over the definitions of "structure" via the settings menu:
Timeframes: Customize which two specific timeframes are monitored (Default: 4H and 1H).
Pivot Lookback: Adjust the sensitivity of the pivot detection algorithm (Default: 3 bars). Increasing this number finds fewer, more significant levels; decreasing it finds more frequent, local structures.
Show Zones: Toggle visibility to keep charts clean when needed.
How to Use This tool is best used to establish "Context" before executing a trade. For example, a bullish crossover signal on a 5-minute chart carries higher probability if it occurs within a 4-Hour Demand zone (Green Box). Conversely, buying directly into a 4-Hour Supply zone (Red Box) is high-risk. This script provides the structural "Intel" to filter those decisions.
Disclaimer: This tool is strictly for educational market analysis and structure visualization. It does not provide buy or sell signals.
KTBB Command: Market Structure & Session Range [Kabroda]Concept & Methodology
The KTBB Command indicator is a market structure visualization tool designed to assist traders in identifying key intraday pivots. It is based on the concept of "Session Anchoring," where specific price levels are determined at the market open and remain static throughout the trading session. This approach helps traders distinguish between noise (volatility within the range) and significant trend initiation (price moving outside the range).
Underlying Logic
This script plots six critical structural levels:
1. 30-Minute Range (High/Low): Calculates the highest and lowest price achieved during the first 30 minutes of the session. This creates a "Session Anchor" or "Neutral Zone" (visualized as an orange shaded region).
2. Breakout/Breakdown Triggers: Volatility-based levels calculated relative to the opening range. These serve as the boundary between range-bound conditions and potential trend expansion.
3. Daily Support & Resistance: Higher-timeframe structural levels derived from historical volume profiles and supply/demand zones.
Key Features
* Infinite Extension: Levels extend infinitely across the chart to visualize how current price action interacts with historical session anchors.
* Visual Clarity: Distinct visual styles (Solid lines for execution triggers, Dotted lines for session boundaries) ensure rapid identification of market regime.
* Data Flexibility: The script accepts direct data inputs, allowing users to synchronize levels across different assets or custom timeframes manually.
How to Use
Traders can use the "Orange Box" (30m Range) to identify the initial balance of the session. Price action remaining inside this box suggests a rotational/consolidation environment. A sustained move beyond the "Breakout" or "Breakdown" triggers (Green/Purple lines) suggests a potential shift in market sentiment. This tool does not generate buy/sell signals but provides the structural framework for a trader's own analysis.
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only. Past performance of structural levels does not guarantee future results.
Unusual Volume Color_Shah OmarThis type of indicator is commonly used to:
Spot institutional activity
Identify breakouts or reversals
Confirm price action strength
Detect accumulation or distribution phases
Bottom X Candle Buy and Green Candle = ( v1 )🟡 النموذج الأول: Bottom X + Buy
نموذج Bottom X يحدد قاعًا سعريًا دقيقًا عند أدنى إغلاق خلال فترتين (قصيرة ومتوسطة)، ويُستخدم كنقطة مرجعية قوية.
بعد تأكيد القاع، يتم توليد إشارة BUY واحدة فقط عند أول إغلاق سعري أعلى من أعلى شمعة Bottom X، مما يقلل الإشارات الكاذبة ويؤكد بداية انعكاس صاعد حقيقي.
Bottom X is a precise bottom-detection pattern that identifies a strong price floor using the lowest closing prices across short and medium lookback periods.
A single BUY signal is triggered only after the first confirmed close above the High of the Bottom X candle, ensuring a clean and reliable bullish reversal entry with no repainting.
🟢 النموذج الثاني: AA1 Light Green Candle
نموذج AA1 هو نموذج اختراق زخم يعتمد على:
كسر مستوى ديناميكي مبني على ATR
تأكيد اتجاه صاعد
فلتر حجم قوي
ويُظهر شمعة خضراء فاتحة عند حدوث اختراق حقيقي، مع إمكانية تتبع الاتجاه باستخدام SAR Line وخلفية لونية لتوضيح استمرار الترند.
AA1 Light Green Candle is a momentum breakout model based on:
ATR-based dynamic resistance
Bullish price confirmation
Strong volume validation
It highlights high-probability breakout candles and optionally tracks trend continuation using a SAR trailing line and background fill.
Bear Lines V22: Institutional OverlayBear Lines V22: Technical Methodology
This script creates a unified institutional overlay by synthesizing multi-timeframe volume data, automated structural mapping, and fair value modeling. It is designed to reduce analytical overhead by programmatically rendering key data points that typically require manual plotting.
1. Multi-Timeframe Volume Projection (The "Whale Defender") This module uses request.security to access lower-timeframe (LTF) volume data (specifically 15-second aggregations) and projects distinct volume anomalies onto higher-timeframe charts.
Methodology: The script calculates a rolling Volume Moving Average on the LTF. When a specific candle exceeds the baseline by a user-defined deviation factor (detecting institutional absorption), the script locks that price level and renders it on the current chart.
Originality: This logic exposes "hidden" liquidity walls that are invisible on standard 1H or 4H charts, allowing traders to see granular institutional defense levels without switching timeframes.
2. Automated Structural Mapping (Daily/Weekly Closes)
Methodology: Instead of standard high/low wicks, this module specifically queries the Regular Candle Closes of Daily and Weekly data. It utilizes request.security with non-repainting logic to lock in these structural levels immediately upon session close.
Workflow Efficiency: This eliminates the manual error of drawing horizontal rays. By programmatically targeting the "Close" rather than the "Wick," the script filters out intraday volatility to focus on the true institutional settlement price.
3. Dynamic Imbalance Detection (Smart FVG)
Methodology: The script detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) by analyzing the three-candle formation where the high of Candle 1 does not overlap with the low of Candle 3.
State-Based Cleaning: Unlike static drawings, these arrays are stored in a boolean state. When real-time price action crosses (mitigates) the defined zone, the line.delete and box.delete functions are triggered immediately to remove invalid data.
4. Statistical Mean Reversion
Methodology: Calculates a custom VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) anchored to the daily open session. Standard Deviation bands are plotted to identify statistically extended price action relative to the intraday mean.
Disclaimer: This tool is for informational analysis and educational purposes only. It does not provide financial advice or guarantee profits.
Static H-LineDraw simple horizontal line with static value. The purpose is that indicator stays on the chart when switching instruments (via alerts log, for example).

XDEV 1 - Adaptive Mean ReversionXDEV 1 - Adaptive Mean Reversion Engine
TradingView Publishing Description
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the TradingView community! This indicator is my gift to you this holiday season. I've spent considerable time developing and refining XDEV, and I'm excited to share it freely with fellow traders who appreciate thoughtful, adaptive approaches to the markets. May it serve you well in the new year ahead.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
PHILOSOPHY: WHY ADAPTIVE MEAN REVERSION?
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Mean reversion is one of the oldest and most enduring concepts in trading. The idea is elegantly simple: prices tend to return to their average over time. When price extends too far in one direction, probability favors a snapback. Traders have built countless strategies around this principle, yet most share a common flaw—they use fixed parameters that ignore the unique personality of each asset.
Here's the uncomfortable truth that inspired XDEV: Bitcoin doesn't move like Ethereum. Ethereum doesn't move like Solana. And none of them move like traditional equities. Each asset has its own volatility signature, its own rhythm of extensions and reversions. A fixed threshold that works brilliantly on one asset may generate nothing but false signals on another.
Traditional mean reversion indicators force you to manually optimize parameters for each asset and timeframe—a tedious process that often results in curve-fitted settings that worked in the past but fail going forward. XDEV takes a fundamentally different approach. Rather than you telling the indicator how far is "too far," XDEV learns this by observing how the asset actually behaves.
The philosophy is simple: let the market teach us its own boundaries.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE ADAPTIVE ENGINE: HOW XDEV LEARNS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
At its core, XDEV uses Donchian channels to define the recent price range. But unlike standard channel-based systems that generate signals when price touches the bands, XDEV recognizes that mere band touches are often just noise. The real opportunities come when price extends meaningfully beyond these boundaries—penetrating into territory that historically precedes reversions.
Here's where the adaptive magic happens. Every time price touches or crosses a Donchian band, XDEV measures exactly how far price penetrated beyond that band, expressed in ATR (Average True Range) units. These penetration depths are stored and analyzed over time. The indicator builds a statistical profile of how this specific asset, on this specific timeframe, typically behaves when it reaches extremes.
For buy signals, XDEV tracks how far price typically drops below the lower Donchian band before reversing upward. For sell signals, it tracks how far price typically rises above the upper band before reversing downward. Over time, XDEV accumulates a history of these penetration events and calculates the typical extension depth.
You can choose between two adaptive methods. The Average method uses the mean of all recorded penetrations, giving you the typical overshoot depth. The Percentile method lets you filter outliers by selecting a specific percentile of penetrations, useful if you want to require deeper extensions before triggering signals.
The result is an indicator that automatically calibrates itself. Bitcoin on the 15-minute chart might learn that price typically extends 0.4 ATR beyond bands before reversing, while ZEC on the 5-minute chart might discover its typical extension is 0.8 ATR. XDEV adapts to each situation without manual intervention.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ASYMMETRIC ADAPTATION: TOPS AND BOTTOMS ARE DIFFERENT
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Markets rarely behave symmetrically. Bottoms tend to form differently than tops. Panic selling creates sharp, deep plunges that reverse quickly. Euphoric tops often see extended grinds higher before rolling over. A single ATR multiplier applied equally to both directions ignores this fundamental market truth.
XDEV maintains separate adaptive multipliers for buy and sell signals. The buy multiplier learns from downside penetrations while the sell multiplier learns from upside penetrations. This asymmetric adaptation means XDEV can recognize that an asset might require only a 0.3 ATR extension below the lower band to signal a buy, while needing a 0.6 ATR extension above the upper band to signal a sell.
This isn't just theoretical elegance—it's practical edge. By respecting the asymmetric nature of market extremes, XDEV generates signals that are tuned to how each direction actually behaves.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
MULTI-FILTER CONFIRMATION SYSTEM
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Adaptive ATR thresholds alone don't make a complete trading system. XDEV incorporates multiple confirmation filters to improve signal quality and reduce false triggers.
RSI Extremes: Buy signals require RSI to be at or below a configurable threshold, confirming oversold conditions. Sell signals require RSI at or above a threshold, confirming overbought conditions. This ensures signals align with momentum extremes, not just price extremes.
ADX Trend Strength: The Average Directional Index must meet a minimum threshold for signals to fire. This filter ensures there's actual directional movement in the market rather than listless, choppy price action where mean reversion strategies tend to get chopped up.
BBWP Volatility Filter: Bollinger Band Width Percentile measures current volatility relative to historical volatility. XDEV can require BBWP to exceed a minimum threshold, ensuring signals occur during periods of volatility expansion rather than during dangerously quiet consolidations that often precede breakouts.
Signal Cooldown: After generating a signal, XDEV enforces a configurable cooldown period before the next signal in the same direction can fire. This prevents signal clustering during extended moves and gives trades time to develop.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CASCADE PROTECTION: SURVIVING EXTENDED DRAWDOWNS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
One of the most dangerous scenarios for mean reversion traders is the extended trend that keeps generating buy signals as price continues falling. Each signal looks like a great opportunity, but the market just keeps going. Before you know it, you've accumulated multiple losing positions in a relentless downtrend.
XDEV addresses this with Cascade Protection. The indicator tracks consecutive buy signals that haven't been offset by a sell signal. Once the maximum consecutive buy limit is reached, XDEV blocks further buy signals until a sell signal fires and resets the counter.
This feature recognizes a hard truth: sometimes the market isn't mean-reverting—it's trending. When XDEV detects it has fired multiple buy signals without relief, it steps back rather than continuing to fight the tape. The info table displays your current position in the cascade sequence so you always know where you stand.
Additionally, XDEV tracks your average entry price across consecutive buys, displaying whether current price is above or below your average cost basis. This situational awareness is invaluable for managing positions during drawdowns.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BAND CONTRACTION FILTER: AVOIDING THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Experienced traders know that periods of unusually low volatility often precede explosive moves. When Donchian bands contract to historically narrow levels, the market is coiling—and the eventual breakout can be violent and sustained.
Mean reversion strategies are particularly vulnerable during these periods. A signal that fires just before a major breakout can result in immediate, significant losses as price explodes through the bands rather than reverting.
XDEV's Band Contraction Filter monitors the percentile rank of current band width relative to historical band width. When bands contract below the threshold, XDEV blocks all signals—both buys and sells—until volatility normalizes. The channel fill color changes to indicate contracted conditions, providing clear visual feedback that the indicator is in protective mode.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
REGIME DETECTION AND VISUAL FEEDBACK
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
XDEV provides rich visual feedback about current market conditions through regime-based channel shading. The indicator combines Directional Movement (DI+ vs DI-) with On-Balance Volume trends to classify the current regime as bullish, bearish, or neutral.
Bullish regimes show green channel shading, indicating DI+ dominance with rising OBV. Bearish regimes show purple shading, indicating DI- dominance with falling OBV. Neutral conditions show blue shading. Contracted bands override all regime colors with orange shading to emphasize the protective state.
The info table header dynamically matches the current regime color, giving you instant visual confirmation of market state. Additional visual elements include an ADX strength indicator bar at the bottom of the chart and an RSI level indicator at the top, both color-coded to show current readings relative to signal thresholds.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SETTINGS GUIDE AND USAGE TIPS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CHANNEL SETTINGS
Donchian Length controls the lookback period for the high/low channel. The default of 20 bars works well across most assets and timeframes. Shorter lengths create more responsive channels that generate more signals but may increase noise. Longer lengths create smoother channels with fewer but potentially higher-quality signals. Consider matching this roughly to your typical trade holding period.
ADAPTIVE ATR SETTINGS
Adaptive Method offers two approaches to calculating the ATR multiplier. Average mode uses the arithmetic mean of all recorded penetrations and works well in most situations. Percentile mode lets you specify which percentile of penetrations to use, filtering out outliers. If you find Average mode triggers too easily, try Percentile mode at 70-80% to require deeper penetrations.
Penetration Lookback determines how many band touch events XDEV remembers. The default of 100 touches provides a robust sample size while remaining adaptive to changing conditions. Lower values make the indicator more responsive to recent behavior; higher values create more stable multipliers.
Min and Max ATR Multiplier set floors and ceilings on the adaptive values. These prevent the indicator from learning extreme values during unusual market periods. The defaults of 0.2 minimum and 1.5 maximum work well for most crypto assets.
If you prefer manual control, disable Use Adaptive ATR and set your own Fixed ATR Multiplier. This returns XDEV to traditional fixed-threshold behavior while retaining all other features.
SIGNAL SETTINGS
RSI Length and the Buy/Sell thresholds control the momentum confirmation filter. Default RSI of 14 with buy threshold of 35 and sell threshold of 65 requires meaningful momentum extremes without being so strict that signals never fire. In strongly trending markets, you might loosen these thresholds. In choppy markets, tighten them.
FILTER SETTINGS
ATR Length and ADX Length control the lookback for these calculations. The defaults of 14 work well universally.
ADX Minimum sets the trend strength requirement. The default of 22 filters out the most listless price action while allowing signals during moderate directional movement. Raise this if you're getting too many signals during choppy periods; lower it if you're missing opportunities.
Enable BBWP Filter and its associated settings add volatility expansion confirmation. The 252-bar lookback represents roughly one year of daily data and works across timeframes. BBWP Minimum of 20 requires volatility to be above the 20th percentile of its historical range—a modest requirement that filters only the most dangerously quiet periods.
Signal Cooldown prevents rapid-fire signals. The default of 5 bars gives trades time to develop before the next signal can fire.
CASCADE PROTECTION
Enable Cascade Protection is highly recommended for mean reversion strategies. Max Consecutive Buys of 3 allows scaling into positions while preventing unlimited exposure during extended downtrends.
Enable Band Contraction Filter protects against breakout periods. The default Contraction Lookback of 188 bars and Threshold of 38th percentile identify when bands are unusually narrow relative to recent history.
DISPLAY SETTINGS
Show Adaptive Entry Levels plots the actual buy and sell trigger levels as lines on the chart. This helps you see exactly where price needs to reach to generate signals and understand how the adaptive system has calibrated itself.
The Info Table provides real-time feedback on all key metrics including current adaptive multipliers, sample sizes, cascade status, average entry price, and filter states. The Samples row shows how many penetration events XDEV has recorded—green indicates sufficient samples for reliable adaptation.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
PRACTICAL TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Give XDEV time to learn. The indicator needs sufficient band touches to build reliable adaptive multipliers. Watch the Samples row in the info table—green background indicates enough data. On higher timeframes or less volatile assets, this may take longer.
Respect the contracted state. When the channel fill turns orange and the info table shows BLOCKED status, XDEV is protecting you from potential breakout conditions. Resist the urge to override this protection.
Monitor your cascade position. The Buy Counter in the info table shows where you stand in the consecutive buy sequence. If you're at 2/3 or 3/3, recognize that XDEV has already identified multiple buy opportunities without relief—the market may be trending rather than mean-reverting.
Use regime shading as context, not gospel. Bullish regimes favor buy signals; bearish regimes favor sell signals. But regime detection is not predictive—it describes current conditions that can change quickly.
Combine with your own analysis. XDEV is a tool, not a complete trading system. Use it alongside your understanding of market structure, support and resistance levels, and broader market context.
Start with defaults and adjust gradually. The default settings represent extensive testing across multiple assets and timeframes. Make small adjustments based on your specific trading style and the assets you trade, rather than wholesale parameter changes.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FINAL THOUGHTS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
XDEV represents a different way of thinking about mean reversion—one that respects the individuality of each market while maintaining the discipline of systematic trading. By learning from actual price behavior rather than imposing arbitrary thresholds, XDEV adapts to conditions in ways that static indicators cannot.
I hope this indicator serves you well and contributes positively to your trading journey. If you find it valuable, I'd appreciate a like or comment. Your feedback helps me understand what the community finds useful and guides future development.
Wishing you profitable trades and a prosperous New Year!
