Liquidity Hunt SwiftEdgeThe "Liquidity Hunt Dashboard By SwiftEdge" indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential liquidity zones by placing a dynamic target line based on swing points and weighted liquidity. It leverages technical analysis tools such as SMA (Simple Moving Average), pivot points, and volume to predict market movements and provides daily statistics on hits and success rate. The target line updates automatically when the price hits it, adapting to the market trend (up, down, or neutral). A dashboard displays the current price, target level, prediction, and trend, making it easy to make informed trading decisions.
Features:
Target Line: A yellow dashed line marks the next expected liquidity level (up to approximately 20 pips away on 1m).
Prediction: Displays "Up (Chasing Sell Liquidity)," "Down (Chasing Buy Liquidity)," or "Neutral" based on trend and liquidity.
Daily Statistics: Tracks hits and success rate, resetting daily.
Trend Indicator: Shows market direction ("Up," "Down," or "Neutral") in the dashboard.
Dynamic Updates: The line moves to a new target level when the price hits the current target.

CCI with Signals & Divergence [AIBitcoinTrend]👽 CCI with Signals & Divergence (AIBitcoinTrend)
The Hilbert Adaptive CCI with Signals & Divergence takes the traditional Commodity Channel Index (CCI) to the next level by dynamically adjusting its calculation period based on real-time market cycles using Hilbert Transform Cycle Detection. This makes it far superior to standard CCI, as it adapts to fast-moving trends and slow consolidations, filtering noise and improving signal accuracy.
Additionally, the indicator includes real-time divergence detection and an ATR-based trailing stop system, helping traders identify potential reversals and manage risk effectively.
👽 What Makes the Hilbert Adaptive CCI Unique?
Unlike the traditional CCI, which uses a fixed-length lookback period, this version automatically adjusts its lookback period using Hilbert Transform to detect the dominant cycle in the market.
✅ Hilbert Transform Adaptive Lookback – Dynamically detects cycle length to adjust CCI sensitivity.
✅ Real-Time Divergence Detection – Instantly identifies bullish and bearish divergences for early reversal signals.
✅ Implement Crossover/Crossunder signals tied to ATR-based trailing stops for risk management
👽 The Math Behind the Indicator
👾 Hilbert Transform Cycle Detection
The Hilbert Transform estimates the dominant market cycle length based on the frequency of price oscillations. It is computed using the in-phase and quadrature components of the price series:
tp = (high + low + close) / 3
smooth = (tp + 2 * tp + 2 * tp + tp ) / 6
detrender = smooth - smooth
quadrature = detrender - detrender
inPhase = detrender + quadrature
outPhase = quadrature - inPhase
instPeriod = 0.0
deltaPhase = math.abs(inPhase - inPhase ) + math.abs(outPhase - outPhase )
instPeriod := nz(3.25 / deltaPhase, instPeriod )
dominantCycle = int(math.min(math.max(instPeriod, cciMinPeriod), 500))
Where:
In-Phase & Out-Phase Components are derived from a detrended version of the price series.
Instantaneous Frequency measures the rate of cycle change, allowing the CCI period to adjust dynamically.
The result is bounded within a user-defined min/max range, ensuring stability.
👽 How Traders Can Use This Indicator
👾 Divergence Trading Strategy
Bullish Divergence Setup:
Price makes a lower low, while CCI forms a higher low.
Buy signal is confirmed when CCI shows upward momentum.
Bearish Divergence Setup:

Sniper Trade Pro (ES 15-Min) - Topstep Optimized🔹 Overview
Sniper Trade Pro is an advanced algorithmic trading strategy designed specifically for E-mini S&P 500 (ES) Futures on the 15-minute timeframe. This strategy is optimized for Topstep 50K evaluations, incorporating strict risk management to comply with their max $1,000 daily loss limit while maintaining a high probability of success.
It uses a multi-confirmation approach, integrating:
✅ Money Flow Divergence (MFD) → To track liquidity imbalances and institutional accumulation/distribution.
✅ Trend Confirmation (EMA + VWAP) → To identify strong trend direction and avoid choppy markets.
✅ ADX Strength Filter → To ensure entries only occur in trending conditions, avoiding weak setups.
✅ Break-Even & Dynamic Stop-Losses → To reduce drawdowns and protect profits dynamically.
This script automatically generates Buy and Sell signals and provides built-in risk management for automated trading execution through TradingView Webhooks.
🔹 How Does This Strategy Work?
📌 1. Trend Confirmation (EMA + VWAP)
The strategy uses:
✔ 9-EMA & 21-EMA: Fast-moving averages to detect short-term momentum.
✔ VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): Ensures trades align with institutional volume flow.
How it works:
Bullish Condition: 9-EMA above 21-EMA AND price above VWAP → Confirms buy trend.
Bearish Condition: 9-EMA below 21-EMA AND price below VWAP → Confirms sell trend.
📌 2. Liquidity & Money Flow Divergence (MFD)
This indicator measures liquidity shifts by tracking momentum changes in price and volume.
✔ MFD Calculation:
Uses Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of Momentum (MOM) to detect changes in buying/selling pressure.
If MFD is above its moving average, it signals liquidity inflows → bullish strength.
If MFD is below its moving average, it signals liquidity outflows → bearish weakness.
Why is this important?
Detects when Smart Money is accumulating or distributing before major moves.
Filters out false breakouts by confirming momentum strength before entry.
📌 3. Trade Entry Triggers (Candlestick Patterns & ADX Filter)
To avoid random entries, the strategy waits for specific candlestick confirmations with ADX trend strength:
✔ Bullish Entry (Buy Signal) → Requires:
Bullish Engulfing Candle (Reversal confirmation)
ADX > 20 (Ensures strong trending conditions)
MFD above its moving average (Liquidity inflows)
9-EMA > 21-EMA & price above VWAP (Trend confirmation)
✔ Bearish Entry (Sell Signal) → Requires:
Bearish Engulfing Candle (Reversal confirmation)
ADX > 20 (Ensures strong trending conditions)
MFD below its moving average (Liquidity outflows)
9-EMA < 21-EMA & price below VWAP (Trend confirmation)
📌 4. Risk Management & Profit Protection
This strategy is built with strict risk management to maintain low drawdowns and maximize profits:
✔ Dynamic Position Sizing → Automatically adjusts trade size to risk a fixed $400 per trade.
✔ Adaptive Stop-Losses → Uses ATR-based stop-loss (0.8x ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
✔ Take-Profit Targets → Fixed at 2x ATR for a Risk:Reward ratio of 2:1.
✔ Break-Even Protection → Moves stop-loss to entry once price moves 1x ATR in profit, locking in gains.
✔ Max Daily Loss Limit (-$1,000) → Stops trading if total losses exceed $1,000, complying with Topstep rules.

[TehThomas] - ICT Volume ImbalanceThis script is a Volume Imbalance (VI) detector and visualizer for use on the TradingView platform. The goal of the script is to automatically identify areas where there are significant imbalances in the volume of trades between consecutive candlesticks and visually highlight these areas. These imbalances can provide traders with valuable insights about the market’s current condition, often signaling potential reversal or continuation points based on price and volume action.
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Concept of Volume Imbalances
Volume imbalances are a critical concept in the ICT trading methodology. They refer to situations where there is an unusual or significant difference in volume between two consecutive candlesticks, which might indicate institutional or large player activity. According to ICT principles, these imbalances can show us areas of market inefficiency or potential price manipulation. By identifying these imbalances, traders can gain an edge in understanding where the market is likely to move next.
Bullish and Bearish Volume Imbalances:
Bullish Volume Imbalance: This occurs when there is a strong increase in buying pressure, typically indicated by a higher volume on a candle that closes significantly above the previous one, often leaving a gap or larger price movement. The market could be preparing to push higher, and the volume shows a clear shift in buying demand.
Bearish Volume Imbalance:
Conversely, a bearish imbalance occurs when there is a strong increase in selling pressure, typically signaled by a candle that closes significantly lower than the previous one, again with higher volume. This could indicate that large players are offloading positions, and the price is likely to drop further.
Key Features and Functions of the Script
The script automates the process of detecting these volume imbalances and visually marking them on a price chart. Let’s explore its functionality in detail.
1. Inputs Section
The script allows for significant customization through its input options, which help traders adjust the detection and visualization of volume imbalances based on their individual preferences and trading style. Below are the details:
lookback (250 bars): This input specifies the number of bars (or candles) the script should look back when analyzing the volume imbalance. By setting this to 250, the user is looking at the last 250 bars on the chart to detect any significant volume imbalances. This period is adjustable between 50 to 500 bars.
volumeThreshold (1.0 multiplier): This input helps set the sensitivity for identifying volume imbalances. The script compares the volume of the current candle with the previous one, and if the current volume exceeds the previous volume by this threshold multiplier (in this case, 1.0 means at least equal to the previous volume), then it triggers an imbalance. Users can adjust the multiplier to suit different market conditions.
showBoxes (true/false): This toggle determines whether the boxes representing volume imbalances are drawn on the chart. When enabled, the script visually highlights the imbalances with colored boxes.
fillBaseColor (orange with 80% opacity): This is the color setting for the background of the imbalance boxes. A softer color (like orange with opacity) ensures the imbalance is highlighted without obscuring the price action.
borderColor (gray): The color of the border around the imbalance boxes. This adds a visual distinction to make the imbalance areas more visible.
borderWidth (1 pixel): This controls the width of the box's border to adjust how prominent it appears.
rightOffset (30 bars): This input controls how far the imbalance box extends to the right on the chart. It helps users anticipate the potential continuation of the imbalance beyond the current candle.
allowWickOverlap (true/false): This setting allows imbalances to be identified even if the wicks of the two consecutive candlesticks overlap. If set to false, only imbalances where the bodies of the candlesticks don’t overlap are considered.
showBrokenBoxes (true/false): If enabled, once a volume imbalance no longer holds true (i.e., the price breaks through the box), the box is marked as "broken." If disabled, the box is deleted when the imbalance condition no longer applies.
brokenBoxColor (red): This controls the color of the box when it is broken, which can be used as a visual cue that the imbalance was invalidated or no longer valid for analysis.
2. Volume Imbalance Function
This is the core function of the script, where the logic to detect bullish and bearish volume imbalances is implemented.
Bullish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the low of the current candle is greater than the high of the previous candle. This suggests that the market is moving upward with buying pressure.
The second condition checks whether the volume of the current candle is higher than the previous candle by the volumeThreshold multiplier. If both conditions are satisfied, a bullish imbalance is detected.
Bearish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle. This suggests downward price action with selling pressure.
The second condition checks whether the current volume exceeds the previous volume by the threshold
Allow Wick Overlap: If allowWickOverlap is set to true, the script will still detect imbalances if the wicks of the two candles overlap (common in volatile markets). If false, imbalances are only considered if the wicks do not overlap.
3. Box Creation and Management
When a volume imbalance is detected, the script creates a box on the chart:
The bullish imbalance box is drawn using the minimum of the open and close of the current bar as the top boundary and the maximum of the open and close of the previous bar as the bottom boundary.
Conversely, the bearish imbalance box is drawn in reverse, using the maximum of the current bar’s open and close as the top boundary and the minimum of the previous bar’s open and close as the bottom boundary.
Once the box is created, it is displayed on the chart with the specified background color, border color, and width.
4. Processing Existing Boxes
After detecting a new imbalance and drawing a box, the script checks whether the box should still remain on the chart:
If the price moves beyond the boundaries of the imbalance box, the box is marked as broken (if showBrokenBoxes is enabled), and its color is changed to red, signifying that the imbalance is no longer valid.
If the box remains intact (i.e., the price has not broken the defined boundaries), the script keeps the box extended to the right as the market continues to evolve.
5. Removing Outdated Boxes
Lastly, the script removes boxes that are older than the specified lookback period. For example, if a box was created 250 bars ago, it will be deleted after that period. This ensures the chart stays clean and only focuses on relevant imbalances.
Why This Script is Useful for Traders
This script is extremely valuable for traders, especially those following the ICT methodology, because it automates the process of detecting market inefficiencies or imbalances that might signal future price action. Here’s why it’s particularly useful:
Identifying Key Areas of Interest: Volume imbalances often point to areas where institutional or large-scale traders have entered the market. These areas could provide clues about the next significant move in the market.
Visualizing Market Structure: By automatically drawing boxes around volume imbalances, the script helps traders visually identify potential areas of support, resistance, or turning points, enabling them to make informed trading decisions.
Time Efficiency: Instead of manually analyzing each candlestick and volume spike, this script does the heavy lifting, saving traders valuable time and allowing them to focus on other aspects of their strategy.
Enhanced Trade Entries and Exits: By understanding where volume imbalances are occurring, traders can time their entries (buying during bullish imbalances and selling during bearish ones) and exits (as imbalances break) more effectively, thus improving their chances of success.
Conclusion
In summary, this script is a powerful tool for traders looking to implement volume imbalance strategies based on the ICT methodology. It automates the identification and visualization of significant imbalances in price and volume, offering traders a clear visual representation of potential market turning points. By customizing the settings, traders can tailor the script to their preferred timeframes and sensitivity, making it a flexible and effective tool for any trading strategy.

Opening Range BoxIndicator Name: Opening Range Box with Extensions
Author: YanivBull
Description:
The Opening Range Box with Extensions is a powerful tool designed to visualize the trading range established during the first 30 minutes of a market session, a critical period for setting the day's trend. This indicator plots a box representing the high and low prices formed within this opening range, with dashed extension lines projecting these levels forward throughout the session.
Its primary purpose is to identify the boundaries of the initial trend at the start of trading. When these boundaries are breached, it serves as a trigger for potential trading opportunities: a breakout above the box high signals a possible long entry, while a breakdown below the box low indicates a potential short entry. The indicator also includes historical boxes for up to 5 previous days (configurable), allowing traders to analyze past opening ranges and their extensions for context and pattern recognition.
Key Features:
Customizable session start time (hour and minute) to adapt to various markets (e.g., NYSE, DAX, etc.).
Displays the current session's opening range box in blue and historical boxes in gray.
Plots dashed extension lines from the high and low of each box, limited to 500 bars or the end of the trading day.
Adjustable number of historical days (1-20, default 5).
Usage:
Set the Session Start Hour and Session Start Minute according to your market's opening time (relative to your chart's timezone, e.g., UTC+2). Watch for price action around the box boundaries—breakouts above the high or below the low can be used as signals for initiating long or short trades, respectively. Combine with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.
This indicator is ideal for day traders looking to capitalize on early session momentum and breakout strategies.
Astro: Moon SizeThe Astro: Moon Size indicator, built using AstroLib , calculates the distance and visualizes the apparent size of the Moon based on astronomical positioning. This script is tailored for the 1D timeframe and provides insights into lunar perigees (closest approach) and apogees (farthest distance), making it useful for astrologically-informed trading strategies.
New Astro Indicators Feature:
By setting the Julian Date to X number of days in the future, and offsetting the plot by X number of bars accordingly, it is now possible to visualize future projections of TradingView indicators that reference the AstroLib . This feature has been long requested and is far overdue, so thank you to everyone who pushed for this feature release. Enjoy, time travelers from the future!!
Key Features:
Moon Size Calculation: Uses Julian Date (J2000) conversion and AstroLib functions to determine the Moon's apparent distance.
Future Projection: Displays the Moon's distance from 28 up to 500 days ahead, with color gradients indicating proximity/size.
Pivot Identification: Marks local maxima (apogees) and minima (perigees) with labeled date stamps for easy reference.
Dynamic Labeling: Adapts label positioning and size based on the Moon's current trend and relative size.
Usage Notes:
⚠️ Timeframe Restriction: For now, the script only functions on the 1D timeframe and will prompt an error otherwise.
⚠️ Asset Restriction: This script is meant to be loaded on charts for assets that trade 24/7, like BTCUSD historical index.
Multi-Ticker RS vs SPYThis Pine Script, titled "Multi-Ticker RS vs SPY," is a clean and efficient indicator designed for TradingView, enabling traders to monitor the relative strength (RS) of up to 10 ticker symbols compared to the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) on a single chart. Ideal for options traders, such as those managing a $1,400 account, it provides a simple way to assess which stocks are outperforming or underperforming the broader market. As of February 26, 2025, the script supports any chart timeframe, such as 5-minute or daily intervals, and calculates RS based on a user-defined lookback period, defaulting to 1 bar for real-time insights.
Users can input ticker symbols via customizable settings, with defaults set to popular stocks like AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, GOOGL, AMZN, MSFT, FB, NFLX, INTC, and PYPL. The script fetches closing prices for each ticker and SPY, computes their percentage changes over the lookback period, and determines RS as the ratio of each ticker’s change to SPY’s change, handling division by zero gracefully. It displays each ticker’s current RS score in a vertical column of labels on the chart’s top-left corner, updated on the last bar to avoid clutter. Users can adjust label size (tiny, small, normal, large) and text color for visibility, ensuring a tailored, error-free experience for quick market analysis.
Gann & Fibonacci Analysis for MSTRYes! Below is a step-by-step guide to performing Gann Analysis on MSTR in TradingView for the last year.
Step 1: Set Up the Chart
Open TradingView and search for MSTR (MicroStrategy).
Select the 1-day (D) timeframe to analyze the past year.
Set your chart to logarithmic scale (⚙ Settings → Scale → Log).
Enable grid lines for alignment (⚙ Settings → Appearance → Grid Lines).
Step 2: Identify Key Highs and Lows (Last Year)
Find the 52-week high and 52-week low for MSTR.
As of now:
52-Week High: ~$999 (March 2024).
52-Week Low: ~$280 (October 2023).
Step 3: Plot Gann Angles
Using TradingView's Gann Fan Tool:
Select "Gann Fan" (Press / and type “Gann Fan” to find it).
Start at the 52-week low (~$280, October 2023) and drag upwards.
Adjust the angles to match key levels:
1x1 (45°) → Main trendline
2x1 (26.5°) → Strong uptrend
4x1 (15°) → Weak trendline
1x2 (63.75°) → Strong resistance
Repeat the process from the 52-week high (~$999, March 2024) downward to see bearish angles.
Step 4: Apply Fibonacci & Gann Retracement Levels
Using Fibonacci Retracement:
Select "Fibonacci Retracement" tool.
Draw from 52-week high ($999) to 52-week low ($280).
Enable key Fibonacci levels:
23.6% ($816)
38.2% ($678)
50% ($640)
61.8% ($550)
78.6% ($430)
Watch for price reactions near these levels.
Using Gann Retracement Levels:
Select "Gann Box" in TradingView.
Draw from 52-week high ($999) to low ($280).
Enable key Gann retracement levels:
12.5% ($912)
25% ($850)
37.5% ($768)
50% ($640)
62.5% ($550)
75% ($480)
87.5% ($350)
Identify confluences with Gann angles and Fibonacci levels.
Step 5: Identify Significant Dates & Time Cycles
Use "Date Range" Tool in TradingView.
Mark major turning points:
High → Low: ~180 days (Half-year cycle).
Low → High: ~90 days (Quarter cycle).
Use Square-Outs (Time = Price method):
Example: If MSTR hit $500, check 500 days from key events.
Mark key anniversaries of past highs/lows for possible reversals.
Step 6: Analyze and Trade Execution
✅ If MSTR is at a Gann angle + Fibonacci level + key date → Expect a reaction.
✅ Use RSI, MACD, and Volume for extra confirmation.
✅ Set Stop-Loss at nearest Gann support/resistance.
Standardized Leveraged ETF Fund of FlowsThis indicator tracks and standardizes the 3-month fund flows of major leveraged ETFs across different asset classes, including equities, gold, and bonds.
The fund flows are summed over a 3-month period (63 trading days) and then standardized using a 500-day rolling mean and standard deviation.
The resulting normalized fund flow values are plotted in three distinct colors:
Blue for Equities Fund Flows
Yellow for Gold Fund Flows
Green for Bond Fund Flows
SL Hunting Detector📌 Step 1: Identify Liquidity Zones
The script plots high-liquidity zones (red) and low-liquidity zones (green).
These are areas where big players target stop-losses before reversing the price.
Example:
If price is near a red liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal downward.
If price is near a green liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal upward.
📌 Step 2: Watch for Stop-Loss Hunts (Fakeouts)
The indicator marks stop-loss hunts with red (bearish) or green (bullish) arrows.
When do stop-loss hunts occur?
✅ A long wick below support (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal upward.
✅ A long wick above resistance (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal downward.
Confirmation:
Volume must spike (volume > 1.5x the average volume).
ATR-based wicks must be longer than usual (showing a stop-hunt trap).
📌 Step 3: Enter a Trade After a Stop-Hunt
🔹 Bullish Trade (Buying a Dip)
If a green arrow appears (stop-hunt below support):
✅ Enter a long (buy) trade at or just above the wick’s recovery level.
✅ Stop-loss: Below the wick’s low (avoid getting hunted again).
✅ Take-profit: Next resistance level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
🔹 Bearish Trade (Shorting a Fakeout)
If a red arrow appears (stop-hunt above resistance):
✅ Enter a short (sell) trade at or just below the wick’s rejection level.
✅ Stop-loss: Above the wick’s high (avoid getting stopped out).
✅ Take-profit: Next support level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
📌 Step 4: Set Alerts & Automate
✅ The indicator triggers alerts when a stop-hunt is detected.
✅ You can set TradingView to notify you instantly when:
A bullish stop-hunt occurs → Look for long entry.
A bearish stop-hunt occurs → Look for short entry.
📌 Example Trade Setup
Example (BTC Long Trade on Stop-Hunt)
BTC is near $40,000 support (green liquidity zone).
A long wick drops to $39,800 with a green arrow (bullish stop-hunt signal).
Volume spikes, and price recovers quickly back above $40,000.
Trade entry: Buy at $40,050.
Stop-loss: Below wick ($39,700).
Take-profit: $41,500 (next resistance).
Result: BTC pumps, stop-loss remains safe, and trade profits.
🔥 Final Tips
Always wait for confirmation (don’t enter blindly on signals).
Use higher timeframes (15m, 1H, 4H) for better accuracy.
Combine with Order Flow tools (like Bookmap) to see real liquidity zones.

GWAP (Gamma Weighted Average Price)Gamma Weighted Average Price (GWAP) Indicator
The Gamma Weighted Average Price (GWAP) is a dynamic financial indicator that applies exponentially decaying weights to historical prices to calculate a weighted average. The method leverages the exponential decay function, controlled by a gamma factor, to prioritize recent price data while gradually diminishing the influence of older observations. This approach builds upon techniques commonly found in time-series analysis, including Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages (EWMA), which are extensively used in financial modeling (Campbell, Lo & MacKinlay, 1997).
Theoretical Context and Justification
The gamma-weighted approach follows principles similar to those in Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages (EWMA), often used in volatility modeling, where weights decay exponentially over time. The exponential decay model can improve signal responsiveness compared to simple moving averages (Hyndman & Athanasopoulos, 2018). This design helps capture recent market dynamics without ignoring past trends, a common requirement in high-frequency trading systems (Bandi & Russell, 2006).
Practical Applications
1. Trend Detection:
The GWAP can help identify bullish and bearish trends:
• When the price is above GWAP, the market exhibits bullish momentum.
• Conversely, when the price is below GWAP, bearish momentum prevails.
2. Volatility Filtering:
Because of the gamma weighting mechanism, GWAP reduces the noise commonly seen in volatile markets, making it a useful tool for traders looking to smooth price fluctuations while retaining actionable signals.
3. Crossovers for Trade Signals:
Similar to moving average strategies, traders can use price crossovers with the GWAP as trade signals:
• Buy Signal: When the price crosses above the GWAP.
• Sell Signal: When the price crosses below the GWAP.
4. Adaptive Gamma Weighting:
The gamma factor allows for further customization.
• Higher gamma values (>1) place greater emphasis on older data, suitable for long-term trend analysis.
• Lower gamma values (<1) heavily weight recent price movements, ideal for fast-moving markets.
Example Use Case
A trader analyzing the S&P 500 may use a gamma factor of 0.92 with a 14-period GWAP to detect shifts in market sentiment during periods of heightened volatility. When the index price crosses above the GWAP, this could signal a potential recovery, prompting a buy entry. Conversely, when the price moves below the GWAP during a correction, it may suggest a short-selling opportunity.

Volatility Arbitrage Spread Oscillator Model (VASOM)The Volatility Arbitrage Spread Oscillator Model (VASOM) is a systematic approach to capitalizing on price inefficiencies in the VIX futures term structure. By analyzing the differential between front-month and second-month VIX futures contracts, we employ a momentum-based oscillator (Relative Strength Index, RSI) to signal potential market reversion opportunities. Our research builds upon existing financial literature on volatility risk premia and contango/backwardation dynamics in the volatility markets (Zhang & Zhu, 2006; Alexander & Korovilas, 2012).
Volatility derivatives have become essential tools for managing risk and engaging in speculative trades (Whaley, 2009). The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index (VIX) measures the market’s expectation of 30-day forward-looking volatility derived from S&P 500 option prices (CBOE, 2018). Term structures in VIX futures often exhibit contango or backwardation, depending on macroeconomic and market conditions (Alexander & Korovilas, 2012).
This strategy seeks to exploit the spread between the front-month and second-month VIX futures as a proxy for term structure dynamics. The spread’s momentum, quantified by the RSI, serves as a signal for entry and exit points, aligning with empirical findings on mean reversion in volatility markets (Zhang & Zhu, 2006).
• Entry Signal: When RSI_t falls below the user-defined threshold (e.g., 30), indicating a potential undervaluation in the spread.
• Exit Signal: When RSI_t exceeds a threshold (e.g., 70), suggesting mean reversion has occurred.
Empirical Justification
The strategy aligns with findings that suggest predictable patterns in volatility futures spreads (Alexander & Korovilas, 2012). Furthermore, the use of RSI leverages insights from momentum-based trading models, which have demonstrated efficacy in various asset classes, including commodities and derivatives (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993).

📌 Custom Alerts – Set up TradingView alerts to be notified instantly when a trend mismatch occurs.
📌 Visual Background Highlight – A red background warns of a market divergence.
How It Works
The script retrieves open and close prices for ES, NQ, and YM.
Determines whether each futures index is bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open).
If all three indices are bullish or all are bearish, it remains neutral.
If one index is different, an alert is triggered and the background turns red.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Choose any timeframe – Works well on intraday, daily, or higher timeframes.
Enable alerts: Go to Alerts → Create Alert, select "Futures Trend Mismatch", and set your preferred alert frequency.

█ TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
Exceeding Bars Management
The script dynamically adjusts the number of bars used in the volume profile calculation based on the selected timeframe and the maximum allowed bars (max_bars_back).
If the total number of bars exceeds the predefined threshold (6000 bars), the script reduces the lookback period (lookback_bars) by trimming some of the historical data, ensuring the chart does not become overloaded with data.
The adjustment is made based on the ratio of bars per candle (bars_per_candle), ensuring that the volume profile remains computationally efficient while maintaining its relevance.
█ EXAMPLE USE CASES
1. Visible Range Mode
For analyzing a recent trend and focusing on only the visible part of the chart, enabling the "Use Visible Chart Range" option calculates the profile based on the current view, without considering historical data outside the visible area.
2. Fixed Lookback Depth
For analyzing a specific period in the past (e.g., the last 200 bars), disabling the visible range and setting a fixed lookback depth of 200 bars ensures the profile always considers the last 200 bars, regardless of the visible range.
3. Custom Resolution
If there’s a need for greater control over the timeframe used for volume profile calculations (e.g., using a 5-minute resolution on a 15-minute chart), enabling custom resolution and setting the desired timeframe provides this control.

BTC-SPX Momentum Gauge + EMA SignalHere's an explanation of the market dynamics and signal benefits of this script:
Momentum and Sentiment Indicator:
The script uses the momentum of the S&P 500 to change the chart's background color, providing a quick visual cue of market sentiment. Green indicates potential bullish momentum in the broader market, while red suggests bearish momentum. This can help traders gauge overall market direction at a glance.
Bitcoin Trend Analysis:
By plotting the scaled TEMA of Bitcoin (BTC), traders can see how Bitcoin's trend correlates or diverges from the current asset being analyzed. Since Bitcoin is often viewed as a hedge against traditional financial systems or inflation, its trend can signal broader economic shifts or investor sentiment towards alternative investments.
Dual Trend Confirmation:
The script offers two trend lines: one for Bitcoin and one for the current ticker. When these lines move in tandem, it might indicate a strong market trend across both traditional and crypto markets. Divergence between these lines can highlight potential market anomalies or opportunities for arbitrage or hedging.
Smoothness vs. Reactivity:
The use of TEMA for Bitcoin provides a smoother signal than a simple moving average, reducing lag while still reacting to price changes. This can be particularly useful for identifying longer-term trends in Bitcoin's volatile market. The 20-period EMA for the current ticker, on the other hand, gives a quicker response to price changes in the asset you're directly trading.
Cross-Asset Correlation:
By overlaying Bitcoin's trend on another asset's chart, traders can analyze how these markets might influence each other. For instance, if Bitcoin is in an uptrend while a traditional asset is declining, it might suggest capital rotation into cryptocurrencies.
Trading Signals:
Crossovers or divergences between the TEMA of Bitcoin and the EMA of the current ticker could be used as signals for entry or exit points. For example, if the BTC TEMA crosses above the current ticker's EMA, it might suggest a shift towards crypto assets.
Risk Management:
The visual cues from the background color and moving averages can aid in risk management. For example, trading in the direction of the momentum indicated by the background color might be seen as going with the market flow, potentially reducing risk.
Macro-Economic Insights:
The relationship between Bitcoin and traditional markets can offer insights into macroeconomic conditions, particularly related to inflation, monetary policy, and investor sentiment towards fiat currencies.
Headwind and tailwind:
Currently BTC correlated trade instruments experience headwind or tailwind from the broader market. This indicator lets the user see it to help their trade decision process.
Additional Statement:
As the market realizes the dangers of the fiat that its construct is built upon and evolves and migrates into stable money, incorruptible by inflation, this indicator will reveal the external influence of that corruptible and the internal influence of the incorruptible; having diminishing returns as the rise of stable money overtakes the treasuries of the fiat construct.
Timed Ranges [mktrader]The Timed Ranges indicator helps visualize price ranges that develop during specific time periods. It's particularly useful for analyzing market behavior in instruments like NASDAQ, S&P 500, and Dow Jones, which often show reactions to sweeps of previous ranges and form reversals.
### Key Features
- Visualizes time-based ranges with customizable lengths (30 minutes, 90 minutes, etc.)
- Tracks high/low range development within specified time periods
- Shows multiple cycles per day for pattern recognition
- Supports historical analysis across multiple days
### Parameters
#### Settings
- **First Cycle (HHMM-HHMM)**: Define the time range of your first cycle. The duration of this range determines the length of all subsequent cycles (e.g., "0930-1000" creates 30-minute cycles)
- **Number of Cycles per Day**: How many consecutive cycles to display after the first cycle (1-20)
- **Maximum Days to Display**: Number of historical days to show the ranges for (1-50)
- **Timezone**: Select the appropriate timezone for your analysis
#### Style
- **Box Transparency**: Adjust the transparency of the range boxes (0-100)
### Usage Example
To track 30-minute ranges starting at market open:
1. Set First Cycle to "0930-1000" (creates 30-minute cycles)
2. Set Number of Cycles to 5 (will show ranges until 11:30)
3. The indicator will display:
- Range development during each 30-minute period
- Visual progression of highs and lows
- Color-coded cycles for easy distinction
### Use Cases
- Identify potential reversal points after range sweeps
- Track regular time-based support and resistance levels
- Analyze market structure within specific time windows
- Monitor range expansions and contractions during key market hours
### Tips
- Use in conjunction with volume analysis for better confirmation
- Pay attention to breaks and sweeps of previous ranges
- Consider market opens and key session times when setting cycles
- Compare range sizes across different time periods for volatility analysis
Rolling Angled Volume Profile [Trendoscope®]🎲 Volume Profile Indicators
🎯Traditional Volume Profile
Volume profile indicators visually represent the distribution of volume across price levels. These indicators typically operate on horizontal price levels, making them effective in identifying supply and demand zones in ranging markets. However, they are less useful in trending markets where price movements follow a slope.
🎯The Need for Angled Volume Profiles
Just as support and resistance levels differ from trendlines, volume profile indicators require an equivalent method to account for volume distribution along a sloped trajectory. This would enable more accurate volume analysis in trending markets.
We identified the need of Angled Volume profile and have already published few indicators that implements the concept.
Angled Volume Profile calculates volume distribution along a slope. Users interact with the indicator by selecting the starting point, after which the volume profile is calculated for the selected trajectory.
Volume Forks is another tool that extends angled volume profile analysis, aligning volume profiles along the trajectory of pitchforks.
🎲 Rolling Volume Profile Indicator
The Rolling Volume Profile offers a new approach to angled volume profile calculations, addressing some limitations of earlier implementations:
🎯 Rolling Calculation
The volume profile is calculated for the last N bars of the instrument
The slope of the profile lines is determined by the closing prices of the starting and ending bars
Profiles are drawn in the direction of price movement between the start and end bars.
🎯 Dynamic Updates
As new bars are added, the calculations are updated, and the profile is redrawn based on the latest data.
This dynamic behavior earns it the name "Rolling Volume Profile."
🎯 Advantages Over Earlier Versions
Unlimited Profile Lines : Unlike previous implementations limited to 500 profile lines, this indicator uses polyline objects, overcoming the restriction.
Live Updates : Previous angled volume profile tools lacked real-time updates when new bars appeared. This limitation is resolved in the Rolling Volume Profile Indicator.
The Rolling Volume Profile provides an efficient and scalable solution for analyzing volume in trending markets.
🎯 Indicator Settings
Simple settings include few customisable options

Implied and Historical VolatilityAbstract
This TradingView indicator visualizes implied volatility (IV) derived from the VIX index and historical volatility (HV) computed from past price data of the S&P 500 (or any selected asset). It enables users to compare market participants' forward-looking volatility expectations (via VIX) with realized past volatility (via historical returns). Such comparisons are pivotal in identifying risk sentiment, volatility regimes, and potential mispricing in derivatives.
Functionality
Implied Volatility (IV):
The implied volatility is extracted from the VIX index, often referred to as the "fear gauge." The VIX represents the market's expectation of 30-day forward volatility, derived from options pricing on the S&P 500. Higher values of VIX indicate increased uncertainty and risk aversion (Whaley, 2000).
Historical Volatility (HV):
The historical volatility is calculated using the standard deviation of logarithmic returns over a user-defined period (default: 20 trading days). The result is annualized using a scaling factor (default: 252 trading days). Historical volatility represents the asset's past price fluctuation intensity, often used as a benchmark for realized risk (Hull, 2018).
Dynamic Background Visualization:
A dynamic background is used to highlight the relationship between IV and HV:
Yellow background: Implied volatility exceeds historical volatility, signaling elevated market expectations relative to past realized risk.
Blue background: Historical volatility exceeds implied volatility, suggesting the market might be underestimating future uncertainty.
Use Cases
Options Pricing and Trading:
The disparity between IV and HV provides insights into whether options are over- or underpriced. For example, when IV is significantly higher than HV, options traders might consider selling volatility-based derivatives to capitalize on elevated premiums (Natenberg, 1994).
Market Sentiment Analysis:
Implied volatility is often used as a proxy for market sentiment. Comparing IV to HV can help identify whether the market is overly optimistic or pessimistic about future risks.
Risk Management:
Institutional and retail investors alike use volatility measures to adjust portfolio risk exposure. Periods of high implied or historical volatility might necessitate rebalancing strategies to mitigate potential drawdowns (Campbell et al., 2001).
Volatility Trading Strategies:
Traders employing volatility arbitrage can benefit from understanding the IV/HV relationship. Strategies such as "long gamma" positions (buying options when IV < HV) or "short gamma" (selling options when IV > HV) are directly informed by these metrics.
Scientific Basis
The indicator leverages established financial principles:
Implied Volatility: Derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton model, implied volatility reflects the market's aggregate expectation of future price fluctuations (Black & Scholes, 1973).
Historical Volatility: Computed as the realized standard deviation of asset returns, historical volatility measures the intensity of past price movements, forming the basis for risk quantification (Jorion, 2007).
Behavioral Implications: IV often deviates from HV due to behavioral biases such as risk aversion and herding, creating opportunities for arbitrage (Baker & Wurgler, 2007).
Practical Considerations
Input Flexibility: Users can modify the length of the HV calculation and the annualization factor to suit specific markets or instruments.
Market Selection: The default ticker for implied volatility is the VIX (CBOE:VIX), but other volatility indices can be substituted for assets outside the S&P 500.
Data Frequency: This indicator is most effective on daily charts, as VIX data typically updates at a daily frequency.
Limitations
Implied volatility reflects the market's consensus but does not guarantee future accuracy, as it is subject to rapid adjustments based on news or events.
Historical volatility assumes a stationary distribution of returns, which might not hold during structural breaks or crises (Engle, 1982).
