Manipulation Candle IndicatorManipulation Candle Indicator – User Guide
Overview
This indicator identifies potential reversal setups based on larger 15-minute “manipulation” candles and provides entry signals on the 5-minute chart. A manipulation candle is defined as a 15-minute candle whose range exceeds a user-defined percentage of the daily ATR. The reversal entry is triggered when the next 5-minute candle breaks the close of the first opposite-color 5-minute candle following the manipulation candle.
This tool is designed for intraday traders who want a visual representation of high-probability reversal zones without cluttering the chart with additional lines or automated orders.
Inputs
General
Daily ATR Length: Number of periods to calculate the daily ATR.
15m Manipulation (% Daily ATR): Minimum percentage of the daily ATR required for a 15-minute candle to be considered a manipulation candle.
Session Filters
Use Session Filters: Enable or disable session filtering.
Session 1 / Session 2: Define time windows when the indicator will detect manipulation candles and trigger entries.
Label Toggles
Show Bull Manipulation Label: Show or hide the label for bullish manipulation candles.
Show Bear Manipulation Label: Show or hide the label for bearish manipulation candles.
Show Long Entry Label: Show or hide the label for long reversal entry.
Show Short Entry Label: Show or hide the label for short reversal entry.
How It Works
Identify Manipulation Candles (15m)
The indicator continuously monitors 15-minute candles.
If a candle’s range exceeds the defined percentage of the daily ATR, it is marked as a manipulation candle.
Labels are plotted for bullish or bearish manipulation candles depending on candle direction, if toggled on.
Arm Reversal Setup
After a manipulation candle, the script waits for the first opposite-color 5-minute candle.
For a bullish manipulation, the script waits for a red 5-minute candle.
For a bearish manipulation, the script waits for a green 5-minute candle.
Trigger Entry
Once the opposite 5-minute candle is confirmed, the next 5-minute candle breaking the close of that candle triggers a reversal entry.
Labels are plotted for long or short entries based on the reversal direction, if toggled on.
Session Filtering
The indicator only detects manipulation candles and triggers entries during active session windows if session filters are enabled.
Usage Tips
Apply the indicator to a 5-minute chart. The 15-minute manipulation candle is calculated in the background.
Adjust the ATR length and manipulation percentage to match the volatility of your instrument.
Use session filters to restrict signals to the most active trading periods.
Use label toggles to declutter the chart or focus only on certain signals.
This indicator does not execute trades automatically. It is meant for visual analysis and manual entries.

Pivot Master LITEPIVOT FORGE LITE – The Strategy Forge Ecosystem
I created my previous indicator (Multi-TF Fibonacci Pivot Points) to save myself time every day having to manually track and add pivots to my setups. I knew they worked from watching price action - but eyeballing something and proving it can be profitable are very different.
Before I waste weeks on a strategy, I want proof it works.
This is a proof-of-concept strategy tester to show that pivot trading strategies can be profitable.
*Optimized for 8H and lower timeframes. Daily pivots need intraday charts to generate enough entry signals. Won't work on Daily/Weekly charts
WHAT IT DOES:
→ Enters when price crosses Daily pivots (S1/R1, S2/R2, etc)
→ TP/SL at % you choose
→ Shows: Win rate, Profit Factor, trades, P&L
Includes all 3 pivot types: Fibonacci, Standard, Camarilla

PROFIT FACTOR (Primary Metric):
- Below 1.0 = Losing strategy (avoid)
- 1.0-1.5 = Marginal (break even to slight profit)
- 1.5-2.0 = Viable strategy (worth considering)
- Above 2.0 = Strong (verify it's not overfit)
WIN RATE (Context-dependent):
Win rate alone doesn't mean profitability. It depends on your TP/SL ratio:
- 40% WR with 3:1 R:R = Excellent (PF ~1.8)
- 50% WR with 2:1 R:R = Good (PF ~1.5)
- 60% WR with 1:1 R:R = Marginal (PF ~1.2)
- 70%+ WR = Check for overfitting
Always evaluate Profit Factor first, then assess if win rate makes sense for your risk/reward ratio.

Pivot-Anchored Liquidity Heatmap
**PLEASE READ: After adding indicator to chart, right click on indicator or click on "more"(3 dots to right of indicator name), hover over "pin to scale", and select "Pinned to right scale**
The indicator tries to show you where price has repeatedly reacted (pivoted) and treats those prices like liquidity shelves (places where lots of orders tend to sit).
It scans the last Calculated Bars and builds a price range it cares about, then splits that range into Bins (price slices). Every time price makes a local swing high or swing low, it drops that event into the nearest bin and adds weighted volume to that bin (bigger/more convincing rejections count more). Bins with enough activity become significant levels using one rule: % above the average bin (30% = more levels, 50% = default balance, 75% = only the biggest shelves). That same rule also controls alerts.
What you see on the chart:
* Profile bars (the little horizontal blocks) = strength at that price bin.
* Heatmap lines (horizontal lines extending left) = those same levels projected across time.
* Color: green-ish = support side (below price), red-ish = resistance side (above price). Stronger = more intense.
* Opacity + thickness: stronger levels look more solid and thicker; weaker levels are faint.
* POC (if on) = the single strongest bin (most activity) highlighted in white. Acts as a magnet. Especially important when it shifts above or below price.
* Bin text can show raw volume or notional ($ value approx = volume × price), or nothing.
Two “smart” behaviors (learning):
* Pressure Context: watches candle behavior (body size, volume vs average, CMF-like flow, volatility regime) to guess whether buying or selling pressure is dominant, then boosts levels that align with that pressure and dampens levels that fight it.
* Pulled Orders Simulation: if price gets close to a level and pressure suggests it won’t hold, the indicator temporarily shrinks that level (as if orders were pulled). If price backs off or pressure aligns again, it rebuilds.
Alerts:
* Fires when price touches a significant level (based on the same significance threshold), optionally only on bar close.
Simple Rules:
* Monitor the "POC". It is especially important to pay attention when it shifts above or below price as the level tends to act as a magnet.
* Treat bright/thick levels as decision zones, not exact lines: price often wicks through then reacts.
* If price is below a strong red level → expect resistance (pullbacks/rejections).
* If price is above a strong green level → expect support (bounces/holds).
* Best beginner play: wait for reaction + confirmation (bounce candle at support / rejection candle at resistance), not just a touch.
* If a level fades/shrinks as price approaches, that’s the tool hinting: this shelf may be getting “pulled” and could break; be cautious about blindly buying/selling the first touch.

Rolling Volume Structure: HVN & SentimentTitle:
Rolling Volume Structure: HVN & Sentiment
Description:
This indicator visualizes the distribution of volume over price levels for a user-defined rolling period. It is designed to identify structural market nodes (HVN/LVN) and correlate them with Pivot Points to filter out market noise.
NOTE: This script utilizes a mathematical array binning algorithm to calculate the profile efficiently on the chart timeframe, avoiding the runtime timeouts often associated with standard iterative volume profiles.
How it works (Technical Methodology)
Binning Algorithm: The script calculates the price range (Highest High - Lowest Low) of the lookback period and divides it into a fixed number of vertical bins defined by the Resolution input.
Volume Allocation: It iterates through historical bars once. The volume of each bar is assigned to the corresponding price bin based on the bar's closing price.
Sentiment Approximation: Since tick-level Bid/Ask data is not available for historical bars in standard Pine Script strategies, this indicator estimates directional volume based on candle polarity:
If Close > Open: Volume is categorized as "Up Volume" (Buying Sentiment).
If Close < Open: Volume is categorized as "Down Volume" (Selling Sentiment).
Disclaimer: This is a standard approximation for structural analysis and does not represent true tick-data delta.
Why this Combination? (Originality & Synergy)
This script addresses the problem of validating structural levels. Traders often use Pivots and Volume Profiles separately. This script combines them programmatically to provide context:
Pivot Confluence: A Pivot Point is only plotted if it aligns with significant volume structure.
HVN Validation: A pivot occurring within a High Volume Node (HVN) suggests a high-liquidity reversal zone, whereas a pivot in a Low Volume Node (LVN) may indicate a liquidity void or a "weak" high/low.
The Dashboard summarizes these metrics (Position relative to Value Area, Net Sentiment, and Trend), removing the need for multiple separate indicators.
Educational Use for Beginners
If you are new to Volume Profile, think of the market structure in these simple terms:
Value Area (VA): This is the "Fair Price" zone where 70% of trading happened. If price is inside here, the market is balanced. If price breaks out, it may be starting a trend.
HVN (High Volume Nodes - Colored Boxes): Think of these as "Traffic Jams". Price often slows down, bounces, or gets stuck here because there are many orders. They act as Support or Resistance.
LVN (Low Volume Nodes - Gray Strips): Think of these as "Empty Highways". Because there is little volume here, price tends to move through these zones very quickly to get to the next HVN.
Features
HVN (High Volume Nodes): Colored boxes highlighting areas of high accumulation.
LVN (Low Volume Nodes): Gray strips highlighting gaps or acceleration zones.
Value Area (VA): Displays the VAH, VAL, and PoC (Point of Control).
Volume-Filtered Pivots: Plots pivots only when supported by the profile structure.
Sentiment Coloring: The profile bins are colored based on the net bullish/bearish candle volume.
Settings
Rolling Period: The lookback window size (default 150 bars).
Resolution: Precision of the profile bins (higher = more detail, lower = smoother).
HVN Thresholds: Percentage of PoC volume required to identify a node.
Global Text Size: Adjusts labels and dashboard for 4K or standard screens.
Credits: The core binning logic is adapted from generic open-source array management concepts for custom volume profiles.
Reversal Radar - Sensitive Mode - SZ AlphaSensitive Mode is the early detection layer within the Reversal Radar framework.
It is designed to highlight areas where market reversals may begin to emerge, not to generate trade entries.
The radar is built on:
Structural turns (pivot-based)
Behavioral shifts (strength / weakness)
Volatility & participation filters (ATR / Volume)
Trend context via EMA
Core thresholds are intentionally encapsulated into Sensitivity Tiers (Low / Medium / High) to preserve structural consistency and avoid overfitting.
This tool is for risk awareness and context detection,
not for trade execution or signal chasing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sensitive Mode 是 Reversal Radar 体系中的早期反转探测层，用于在市场结构出现变化时，提前标记潜在的反转关注区域。
它并非交易信号，也不用于给出买卖指令，而是通过：
结构拐点（Pivot）
行为变化（强弱转折）
波动与参与度过滤（ATR / Volume）
趋势环境参考（EMA）
来探测“反转开始被观察到的时刻”。
为避免误用，核心阈值已被收口为灵敏度档位（Low / Medium / High），用户只需选择观察节奏，而无需调参。

Previous HLC Single ChoiceThis indicator allows traders to visualize the High, Low, and Close (HLC) levels of a previous timeframe directly on their current chart. By plotting these key levels from a higher timeframe, traders can identify significant support and resistance zones, potential breakout levels, and the overall market context without needing to switch back and forth between different chart intervals.
How it Works
The script utilizes the request.security() function to fetch the High, Low, and Close data from the previous completed bar of a user-selected timeframe.
Unlike static multi-timeframe indicators that might clutter the chart with too many lines, this script is designed for simplicity and flexibility. It uses the input.timeframe functionality, allowing you to select any standard or custom timeframe available on TradingView (e.g., 4-hour, Daily, Weekly, 3-Month, 12-Month) via a simple dropdown menu.
Once a timeframe is selected, the indicator plots three distinct lines:
Green Line: The High of the previous timeframe.
Red Line: The Low of the previous timeframe.
Orange Line: The Close of the previous timeframe.
Usage Examples
These levels often act as dynamic support and resistance.
Breakouts: A move above the previous timeframe's High can signal bullish strength.
Breakdowns: A drop below the previous timeframe's Low can signal bearish weakness.
Ranges: The space between the High and Low often defines the trading range for the current session.
Screenshots

AIO Pivot MasterAIO Pivot Master is a comprehensive, all-in-one solution for traders who rely on Pivot Points for support and resistance analysis. This indicator solves the common problem of needing multiple indicators to view different pivot types or timeframes simultaneously. It allows you to plot up to three independent pivot sets on a single chart, each with its own fully customizable timeframe and calculation method.
Whether you are a scalper looking for intraday Camarilla levels or a swing trader analyzing Weekly Fibonacci retracements, this tool adapts to your specific workflow without cluttering your chart or hitting TradingView's plot limits.
Key Features
3 Independent Pivot Sets: Configure up to three separate instances of pivot points within one indicator.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability: Select any timeframe for each set (e.g., 4-Hour, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, 6-Month). You can view higher timeframe levels on lower timeframe charts to spot major structural zones.
6 Calculation Modes: Choose from the most popular pivot calculation methods for each set:
Traditional: The standard (High + Low + Close) / 3 calculation.
Fibonacci: Uses Fibonacci ratios (0.382, 0.618) for support and resistance extensions.
Woodie: Places heavier weight on the open and close of the session.
Classic: A variation of the traditional formula with distinct multipliers.
DM : Focuses on the relationship between the open and close to predict the next session's range.
Camarilla: Excellent for mean reversion and range-bound trading strategies.
Optimized for Clean Charts:
Smart Labeling: Labels are plotted dynamically at the end of the lines to keep the chart clean.
Plot Limit Efficient: The script is coded to stay well within TradingView's plot limits, ensuring stability even when all features are active.
Custom Visibility: Easily toggle specific sets on or off depending on your immediate analysis needs.
How It Works
Pivot points are calculated based on the price action of the previous period. For example, "Daily" pivots are calculated using yesterday's High, Low, and Close. These levels act as predictive support and resistance zones for the current period.
The Pivot (P): The central line. Price trading above this generally indicates bullish sentiment, while price below indicates bearish sentiment.
Resistance (R1, R2, R3): Levels above the pivot where selling pressure may increase.
Support (S1, S2, S3): Levels below the pivot where buying pressure may increase.
Settings & Configuration
You can access the settings menu to configure the three available slots:
Show Set : Toggle the visibility of the entire pivot set.
Timeframe: Choose the timeframe for calculation (e.g., "D" for Daily, "W" for Weekly).
Type: Select the calculation logic (Traditional, Fibonacci, etc.).
Color: Assign a unique color to each set to easily distinguish between them (e.g., Orange for Daily, Blue for Weekly).
General Display:
Show Labels: Toggle the text labels on the right side of the chart.
Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the pivot lines for better visibility.
Visual Examples (See Screenshots Below)
Screenshot 1 (Bitcoin 5m Chart): This shows a complex setup with 3 active pivot sets: 60-minute Fibonacci (Orange), 240-minute DM (Blue), and Daily Camarilla (Purple). Notice how the indicator handles multiple overlapping levels cleanly without cluttering the price action.
Screenshot 2 (Gold/USD 1h Chart): A clear example of Weekly Woodie Pivots (Blue) overlaid with Monthly Camarilla (Purple) and Daily Fibonacci (Orange). This demonstrates the Multi-Timeframe capability, allowing you to see long-term support levels on an hourly chart.

Swings P1 / P2 / P3Swing detection via ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow (len/len), so labels appear after pivot confirmation (len bars). P2 = swing high, P3 = swing low, P1 marks the prior pivot at trend transition (HH/HL → up, LL/LH → down). Optional ATR minimum leg-length filter.
Dimensional Support ResistanceDimensional Support Resistance
Overview
Dimensional Support Resistance is an open-source overlay indicator that automatically detects and displays clean, non-overlapping support and resistance levels using pivot-based analysis with intelligent filtering. It identifies significant swing highs and lows, filters them by minimum distance to prevent visual clutter, and provides volume-confirmed bounce signals.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Dynamic Pivot Levels - Automatically detected swing highs and lows based on configurable pivot strength
Distance Filtering - Ensures levels are spaced apart by a minimum percentage to prevent overlap
S/R Zones - Visual zones around each level showing the price area of significance
Bounce Detection - Identifies when price reverses at support or resistance levels
Volume Confirmation - Strong signals require above-average volume for confirmation
How It Works
Pivot detection scans for swing highs and lows using a configurable strength parameter. A pivot low requires the low to be lower than all surrounding bars within the strength period.
Signal Generation
The indicator generates bounce signals using TradingView's built-in pivot detection combined with candle reversal confirmation:
Support Bounce: Pivot low forms with bullish close (close > open)
Resistance Bounce: Pivot high forms with bearish close (close < open)
Strong Bounce: Bounce occurs with volume 1.5x above 20-period average
A cooldown period of 15 bars prevents signal spam.
Dashboard Panel
A compact dashboard displays:
Support - Count of active support levels
Resistance - Count of active resistance levels
Dashboard position is configurable (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right).
Visual Elements
Support Lines - Green horizontal lines at support levels
Resistance Lines - Red horizontal lines at resistance levels
S/R Zones - Semi-transparent boxes around levels showing zone width
Price Labels - S: and R: labels showing exact price of nearest levels
BOUNCE Markers - Triangle shapes with text when price bounces at a level
STRONG Markers - Label shapes when bounce occurs with high volume
Input Parameters
Lookback Period (default: 100) - Historical bars to scan for pivots
Pivot Strength (default: 8) - Bars on each side required for valid pivot (higher = fewer but stronger levels)
Max Levels Each Side (default: 2) - Maximum support and resistance levels displayed
Zone Width % (default: 0.15) - Width of zones around each level as percentage of price
Min Distance Between Levels % (default: 1.0) - Minimum spacing between levels to prevent overlap
Show S/R Zones (default: true) - Toggle zone visualization
Show Bounce Signals (default: true) - Toggle signal markers
Support Color (default: #00ff88) - Color for support elements
Resistance Color (default: #ff3366) - Color for resistance elements
Suggested Use Cases
Identify key support and resistance levels for entry and exit planning
Use bounce signals as potential reversal confirmation
Combine with other indicators for confluence-based trading decisions
Monitor strong signals for high-probability setups with volume confirmation
Timeframe Recommendations
Works on all timeframes. Higher timeframes (4H, Daily) provide more significant levels with fewer signals. Lower timeframes show more granular structure but may produce more noise.
Limitations
Pivot detection requires lookback bars, so very recent pivots may not be immediately visible
Bounce signals are based on pivot formation and may lag by the pivot strength period
Levels are recalculated on each bar, so they may shift as new pivots form

TNT Intraday Checklist█ OVERVIEW
TNT Intraday Checklist is a structured decision-support tool developed exclusively for the TNT One trading community by The Noiseless Trader. It implements the proprietary 5-condition intraday framework that is central to the TNT methodology.
This indicator is designed to work alongside the educational content and trading approach practiced within the TNT One community.
█ COMMUNITY-EXCLUSIVE TOOL
Why Invite-Only:
This indicator was built specifically for TNT One community members who:
- Have learned the underlying methodology through community education
- Understand the context and proper interpretation of each condition
- Practice the specific trading approach this tool supports
The 5-condition framework requires foundational knowledge to use effectively. Access is restricted to ensure users have the prerequisite understanding to interpret signals correctly.
Access Information:
- TNT One Members: Access is complimentary with your membership
- Non-Members: May request access at no cost, subject to availability
- Registration required to verify membership and provide support
█ WHAT MAKES THIS UNIQUE
This is NOT a standard indicator mashup. It implements proprietary logic specific to the TNT methodology:
1. ORB Breach Memory System
Unlike standard ORB indicators, this tool LOCKS directional bias once a level is breached:
- ORB High breached → Bullish bias locked for the day
- ORB Low breached → Bearish bias locked for the day
- Bias persists even if price returns to range
- Prevents false signals from price oscillations
- Resets at new trading day
2. Dual-State ORB Evaluation
ORB High and ORB Low are evaluated as SEPARATE conditions with OPPOSING logic:
ORB HIGH:
- Breached = Bullish (resistance overcome)
- Intact = Bearish (resistance holding)
ORB LOW:
- Intact = Bullish (support holding)
- Breached = Bearish (support broken)
This creates four distinct market states:
- Bullish Breakout: High breached + Low intact
- Bearish Breakdown: High intact + Low breached
- Ranging: Both intact
- Choppy: Both breached
3. 5-Condition Alignment Framework
The core of the TNT methodology - ALL 5 conditions must align for a trade signal:
- No signal generated unless all conditions agree
- Mixed conditions = No Trade
- This filter-based approach is specific to how the TNT community trades
4. Cross-Timeframe Consistency
All data sourced from 15-minute timeframe via request.security():
- ORB levels from first 15-minute candle (9:15-9:30 AM IST)
- EMA calculated on 15-minute data
- Dashboard shows identical values across 1m, 3m, 15m charts
5. Nifty-Specific Exhaustion Detection
Calibrated for Nifty index based on community backtesting:
- Threshold: 0.85% beyond ORB levels
- Warns of overextension even when all conditions align
- Specific to Nifty volatility profile
█ THE 5-CONDITION FRAMEWORK
BULLISH SIGNAL (All 5 green):
1. Price > Daily Pivot
2. Positional Bias = Bullish (Today's Pivot > Yesterday's + Price confirms)
3. ORB High = Breached
4. ORB Low = Intact
5. Price > 34 EMA (15-min)
BEARISH SIGNAL (All 5 red):
1. Price < Daily Pivot
2. Positional Bias = Bearish (Today's Pivot < Yesterday's + Price confirms)
3. ORB High = Intact
4. ORB Low = Breached
5. Price < 34 EMA (15-min)
SIDEWAYS (No Trade):
- Both ORB levels intact (ranging market)
- Both ORB levels breached (choppy market)
- Large opening gap detected
- Wide opening range detected
MIXED (No Trade):
- Conditions not aligned - wait for clarity
█ CALCULATIONS

NCAT Supply & Demand Zones (BoS + Retest Fade)NCAT for TradingView draws Supply and Demand zones based on a simple Break of Structure (BoS) approach using pivot highs/lows.
When a bullish BoS occurs, it searches back for the most recent qualifying bearish “base candle” and creates a Demand zone.
When a bearish BoS occurs, it searches back for the most recent qualifying bullish “base candle” and creates a Supply zone.
Core logic
Structure (BoS): detected when price closes beyond the last pivot high/low.
Base candle selection: searches back a configurable number of bars and requires a minimum candle body size.
Zone source: draw zone from Wick (high/low) or Open (open + wick boundary depending on zone type).
Zone behavior: zones extend to the right, can fade on retests, and optionally delete when broken by a close beyond the distal line.
Inputs
Session filter (optional): only create new zones during a user-defined session/timezone.
Pivot length: controls pivot detection sensitivity.
Search back / Min body points: controls base candle qualification.
Extend / Max zones / Fade controls: manage performance and chart clutter.
Midline: optional 50% level visualization.
Notes
This is an educational tool and does not predict market direction.
Different symbols have different “point” conventions; adjust “Min body size (points)” accordingly.

Pivot point moving averagesPivot Point Moving Averages builds moving averages from confirmed pivots, not from every bar.
Instead of averaging all highs and lows, this script:
Detects swing pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable Pivot length (pivotLen).
Converts these sparse pivot prices into continuous series of:
last confirmed pivot low
last confirmed pivot high
Applies a user-selectable moving average (SMA / EMA / RMA / WMA / VWMA) to each of those pivot series.
Plots the two resulting lines and shades the area between them as a pivot value cloud.
Because the lines only move when a new pivot is confirmed, they represent structural acceptance rather than raw volatility. Short “noise” moves and stop hunts between pivots have much less impact on these averages.
You can also enable an optional second pivot MA cloud:
Uses the same Pivot length for structural detection.
Has its own MA length and type.
Can run on a different timeframe (e.g. D, 240, W).
Is projected back onto the current chart so you see local pivot value and higher-timeframe pivot value together.
Why it’s useful
Traditional MAs:
React to every bar.
Move on noise, wicks, and stop runs.
Don’t distinguish between “meaningful” structure and random fluctuation.
This tool uses confirmed pivots, so it is better suited to market structure and phase analysis:
Pivot MA low reflects how demand is stepping up (or down) as new swing lows form.
Pivot MA high reflects how supply is pressing down (or easing) as new swing highs form.
The cloud between them acts as a dynamic, structure-based value area.
Typical interpretations:
Price inside the pivot cloud → balance / fair value area.
Price above the pivot cloud → bullish value expansion.
Price below the pivot cloud → bearish value expansion.
Cloud compressing → possible energy build-up, transition between phases.
Cloud expanding → stronger directional conviction.
With the second cloud enabled on a higher timeframe, you can:
See whether lower-timeframe structure is building with or against the higher-timeframe pivot value.
Use the HTF cloud as a background bias and the LTF cloud for timing and fine-grained context.
Notes
All pivot-based tools have inherent delay: a pivot is only confirmed after pivotLen bars to the right.
On very low timeframes, long pivotLen + long MA lengths will make the lines slower to react.
This is intended as a context and structure tool, not a standalone entry signal.
Pivot Trend [ChartPrime]The Pivot Trend indicator is a tool designed to identify potential trend reversals based on pivot points in the price action. It helps traders spot shifts in market sentiment and anticipate changes in price direction.
◈ User Inputs:
Left Bars: Specifies the number of bars to the left of the current bar to consider when calculating pivot points.
Right Bars: Specifies the number of bars to the right of the current bar to consider when calculating pivot points.
Offset: Adjusts the sensitivity of pivot point detection.
◈ Indicator Calculation:
The indicator calculates pivot points based on the highest and lowest prices within a specified range of bars. It then determines the trend direction based on whether the current price crossed above upper band or crossed below lower band.
Upper and Lower Bands
◈ Visualization:
Trend direction is indicated by the color of the plotted lines, with blue representing an upward trend and red representing a downward trend.
Buy and sell signals are marked on the chart with corresponding symbols (🅑 for buy signals and 🅢 for sell signals).
Buy and sell signals generated by the indicator can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm trading decisions and manage risk.
Overall, the Pivot Trend indicator offers traders a simple yet effective method for identifying potential trend changes and capturing trading opportunities in the market. Adjusting the input parameters allows for customization according to individual trading preferences and market conditions.
Market Compression & Entropy VectorOverview
This indicator measures market energy states and directional bias using concepts from information theory. It detects when markets are "coiling" (compression) versus "expanding" (decompression), and predicts early pivot points before they fully form.
Core Concepts
Compression-Decompression (0-1 scale)
Compression (blue): Low volatility, narrow ranges. Energy building for breakout.
Decompression (orange): High volatility, trending. Energy releasing.
Entropy Vector (-1 to +1)
Derived from buy/sell pressure using Shannon entropy:
Positive: Bullish bias (buyers dominating)
Negative: Bearish bias (sellers dominating)
Near zero: Indecision
Early Pivot Detection
Predicts reversals using 5 confluence factors:
Entropy vector crossing zero
Momentum exhaustion (rate of change reversal)
Compression exit (breakout from consolidation)
Price-entropy divergence
Extreme entropy readings
Signals
Signal Meaning
BUY Exiting compression with bullish entropy
SELL Exiting compression with bearish entropy
TOP (diamond) High probability of downward reversal
BTM (diamond) High probability of upward reversal
Key Settings
Pivot Sensitivity (1-10): Higher = more pivot signals
Pivot Score Threshold (30-90): Minimum score to trigger pivot marker
Compression/Decompression Thresholds: Define phase boundaries
Info Table
Displays real-time metrics including compression score, entropy vector, directional bias, and pivot prediction scores for tops/bottoms.
Best Use
Wait for compression phase (blue background)
Watch entropy vector for directional bias
Enter when pivot signal aligns with entropy direction
Use decompression phase for trend-following

Market Structure Pivots with BOS & CHoCH [zazenio]What is Market Structure?
Market structure is simply the pattern of highs and lows that price creates as it moves. When you look at any chart, you'll notice price doesn't move in a straight line — it swings up, pulls back, swings up again (in an uptrend), or the opposite in a downtrend.
These swing points — the peaks and valleys — are what traders call pivots . Identifying them correctly is the foundation of understanding where a market has been and where it might go next.
What This Indicator Does
Swing Pivots automatically marks these peaks and valleys on your chart so you don't have to draw them manually. It works on any market — stocks, crypto, forex, futures, indices — and on any timeframe.
Beyond just marking pivots, this indicator also draws BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character) lines — two essential concepts that help you understand when a trend is continuing or potentially reversing.
How Pivots Are Detected
This indicator confirms pivots based on price structure, not a fixed bar count.
Here's how it works:
A swing high is confirmed when price breaks below the previous swing low. At that moment, we know the high was real — price tried to go higher, failed, and reversed. The market "proved" that level was a genuine turning point.
A swing low is confirmed when price breaks above the previous swing high. The same logic applies — price tried to go lower, failed, and reversed direction.
This creates a natural alternation: high, low, high, low. Each pivot is validated by the market's actual behavior, not by waiting for an arbitrary number of bars to pass.
Understanding BOS and CHoCH
Once you can identify pivots, the next step is understanding what happens when price breaks through them. This is where BOS and CHoCH come in.
BOS (Break of Structure)
A Break of Structure occurs when price continues in the direction of the current trend by breaking a previous pivot level.
In an uptrend : Price breaks above a previous swing high → This signals strength. Buyers are pushing price to new highs, and the trend is likely to continue.
In a downtrend : Price breaks below a previous swing low → This signals weakness. Sellers are pushing price to new lows, and the trend is likely to continue.
Think of BOS as the market saying "the trend is still intact." Each BOS confirms that the dominant side (buyers or sellers) remains in control.
CHoCH (Change of Character)
A Change of Character occurs when price breaks a pivot level in the opposite direction of the current trend. This is an early warning signal that the trend may be reversing.
In an uptrend : Price breaks below a previous swing low → This is unexpected. In a healthy uptrend, lows should hold. When they don't, it suggests buyers are losing control and sellers may be taking over.
In a downtrend : Price breaks above a previous swing high → This is unexpected. In a healthy downtrend, highs should hold. When they don't, it suggests sellers are losing control and buyers may be stepping in.
Think of CHoCH as the market's behavior "changing character" — it's no longer acting the way it should if the trend were healthy.
Why BOS and CHoCH Matter
These concepts give you a framework for reading what the market is actually doing:
BOS tells you the trend is continuing — stay with it or look for entries in that direction
CHoCH warns you the trend may be ending — time to be cautious, take profits, or look for trades in the new direction
By visualizing these breaks directly on your chart, you don't have to guess. You can see at a glance whether the market is trending smoothly (consecutive BOS) or showing signs of reversal (CHoCH).
Why This Approach Works
Most pivot indicators use a "lookback" method — they wait for a certain number of bars (say, 5 or 10) on each side of a candle before confirming it as a pivot. This creates a fixed delay. By the time the pivot appears on your chart, price has already moved on.
This indicator doesn't wait. It confirms pivots the moment price structure proves them. The result is pivots that align with how traders actually read charts — based on breaks of structure, not arbitrary countdowns.
