Vacuum Candles [XrayAlgo]The Vacuum Candles indicator helps traders identify inefficient price movements—where the price moves significantly but lacks sufficient volume to support it. These inefficiencies may signal weak trends, potential reversals, or false breakouts/breakdowns.
Inefficient candles are visually marked with a darker / black body to indicate when the price movement is disproportionate to the volume.
1. Spotting Potential Reversals
When the indicator marks an inefficient candle, it signals that the price movement may be unsustainable.
In an uptrend: A inefficient bullish candle suggests that the uptrend is losing momentum, potentially leading to a downward reversal.
In a downtrend: A inefficient bearish candle signals that the downtrend may be weakening, with a potential bullish reversal.
2. Identifying Breakout and Breakdown Failures
This indicator is useful for recognizing false breakouts or false breakdowns.
If price breaks resistance but the candle is inefficient, the breakout may be weak and could fail quickly.
If price breaks support with an inefficient bearish candle, the breakdown could be a false signal, with price reverting back above support.
3. Recognizing Weak Trends
Inefficient candles help you spot when a trend is losing strength and could soon reverse or consolidate.
In an uptrend: A series of dark body bullish candles suggests that the uptrend may be weakening, signaling a potential correction or trend reversal.
In a downtrend: A series of dark body bearish candles suggests that the selling pressure is weakening, indicating a potential bullish reversal.
4. Fine-Tuning Entries and Exits
Inefficient candles offer an opportunity to fine-tune your entries and exits based on weak price moves.
Entering a trade: An inefficient candle near key support or resistance can indicate a reversal, making it a good entry point for a counter-trend position.
Exiting a trade: If you're already in a trend, and an inefficient candle appears, it suggests the trend is losing strength, indicating it may be a good time to exit before a potential reversal.
5. Fine-Tuning with Inputs
The Vacuum Candles indicator includes two key inputs:
Length: The number of candles used to calculate the average price movement and volume. A longer length (e.g., 20-30) smooths out the inefficiencies, while a shorter length (e.g., 10-15) makes the indicator more sensitive to recent price moves.
Multiplier: Controls the threshold for what is considered an inefficient candle:
A higher Multiplier (e.g., 1.5–3) filters out smaller inefficiencies and focuses on large discrepancies.
A lower Multiplier (e.g., 0.1–0.9) captures even smaller inefficiencies in highly efficient markets.

HL2 Moving Average with BandsThis indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trade entries and exits for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures. It calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) based on the HL2 value (average of high and low prices) of the current candle over a user-defined lookback period (default: 200 periods). The indicator plots this SMA as a blue line, providing a smoothed reference for price trends.
Additionally, it includes upper and lower bands calculated as a percentage (default: 0.5%) above and below the SMA, plotted as green and red lines, respectively. These bands act as dynamic thresholds to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The indicator generates trade signals based on price action relative to these bands:
Long Entry: A green upward triangle is plotted below the candle when the close crosses above the upper band, signaling a potential buy.
Close Long: A red square is plotted above the candle when the close crosses back below the upper band, indicating an exit for the long position.
Short Entry: A red downward triangle is plotted above the candle when the close crosses below the lower band, signaling a potential sell.
Close Short: A green square is plotted below the candle when the close crosses back above the lower band, indicating an exit for the short position.
The script is customizable, allowing users to adjust the SMA length and band percentage to suit their trading style or market conditions. It is plotted as an overlay on the price chart for easy integration with other technical analysis tools.
Recommended Time Frame and Settings for Trading S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 Futures
Based on research and market dynamics for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures, the 5-minute chart is recommended as the optimal time frame for day trading with this indicator. This time frame strikes a balance between capturing intraday trends and filtering out excessive noise, which is critical for futures trading due to their high volatility and leverage. The 5-minute chart aligns well with periods of high liquidity and volatility, such as the U.S. market open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST) and the afternoon session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST), when institutional traders are most active.
Why 5-minute? It allows traders to react to short-term price movements while avoiding the rapid fluctuations of 1-minute charts, which can be prone to false signals in choppy markets. It also provides enough data points to make the SMA and bands meaningful without the lag associated with longer time frames like 15-minute or hourly charts.
Recommended Settings
SMA Length: Set to 200 periods. This longer lookback period smooths the HL2 data, reducing noise and providing a reliable trend reference for the 5-minute chart. A 200-period SMA helps identify significant trend shifts without being overly sensitive to minor price fluctuations.
Band Percentage: 0.5% is more suitable for the volatility of ES and NQ futures on a 5-minute chart, as it generates fewer but higher-probability signals. Wider bands (e.g., 1%) may miss short-term opportunities, while narrower bands (e.g., 0.1%) may produce excessive false signals.
Trading Session Recommendations
Futures markets for ES and NQ are open nearly 24 hours (Sunday 6:00 PM EST to Friday 5:00 PM EST, with a daily break from 4:00 PM–5:00 PM EST), but not all hours are equally optimal due to varying liquidity and volatility. The best times to trade with this indicator are:
U.S. Market Open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST): This period is characterized by high volume and volatility, driven by the opening of U.S. equity markets and economic data releases (e.g., 8:30 AM EST reports like CPI or GDP). The indicator’s signals are more reliable during this window due to strong order flow and price momentum.
Afternoon Session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST): After the lunchtime lull, volume picks up as institutional traders return, and news or FOMC announcements often drive price action. The indicator can capture breakout moves as prices test the upper or lower bands.
Pre-Market (7:30 AM–9:30 AM EST): For traders comfortable with lower liquidity, this period can offer opportunities, especially around 8:30 AM EST economic releases. However, use tighter risk management due to wider spreads and potential volatility spikes.
Additional Tips
Avoid Low-Volume Periods: Steer clear of trading during low-liquidity hours, such as the overnight session (11:00 PM–3:00 AM EST), when spreads widen and price movements can be erratic, leading to false signals from the indicator.
Combine with Other Tools: Enhance the indicator’s effectiveness by pairing it with support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis to confirm signals. For example, a long entry signal above the upper band is stronger if it coincides with a breakout above a key resistance level.
Risk Management: Given the leverage in futures (e.g., Micro E-mini contracts require ~$1,200 margin for ES), use tight stop-losses (e.g., below the lower band for longs or above the upper band for shorts) to manage risk. Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Test Settings: Backtest the indicator on a demo account to optimize the SMA length and band percentage for your specific trading style and risk tolerance. Micro E-mini contracts (MES for S&P 500, MNQ for Nasdaq-100) are ideal for testing due to their lower capital requirements.
Why These Settings and Time Frame?
The 5-minute chart with a 200-period SMA and 0.5% bands is tailored for the volatility and liquidity of ES and NQ futures during peak trading hours. The longer SMA period ensures the indicator captures meaningful trends, while the 0.5% bands are tight enough to signal actionable breakouts but wide enough to avoid excessive whipsaws. Trading during high-volume sessions maximizes the likelihood of valid signals, as institutional participation drives clearer price action.
By focusing on these settings and time frames, traders can leverage the indicator to capitalize on the dynamic price movements of S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures while managing the inherent risks of these markets.
Impulse Volume Oscillator [Alpha Extract]Impulse Volume Oscillator
A sophisticated indicator designed to identify market impulse moves and volume-based momentum shifts, helping traders capture significant price movements with precision.
Combining price deviations with volume analysis, this oscillator dynamically measures market strength and weakness, providing clear signals for potential trend continuations and reversals.
🔶 Volume-Adjusted Normalization
Utilizes a unique normalization technique that incorporates volume impact to enhance signal quality. This approach ensures the indicator responds more strongly to high-volume price movements while filtering out low-volume noise.
vol_ratio = ta.rsi(volume, 14) / 50
vol_factor = vol_impact > 0 ? 1 + (vol_ratio - 1) * vol_impact : 1
raw_normalized = dev / (ta.stdev(source, bars) * mult)
vol_adjusted = raw_normalized * vol_factor
normalized = ta.sma(vol_adjusted, smooth)
🔶 Adaptive Regime Detection
Incorporates threshold-based regime identification that clearly distinguishes between trending and mean-reverting market conditions. The customizable threshold system allows traders to adapt to different market volatilities and timeframes.
🔶 Customizable Parameters
Fine-tune detection sensitivity with adjustable inputs for lookback period, standard deviation multiplier, volume impact, and signal smoothing. These parameters enable traders to optimize the indicator for various trading styles and market conditions.
❓How It Works
🔶 Impulse Calculation
The oscillator measures price deviation from a moving average baseline, normalized by standard deviation, and then adjusts the signal based on relative volume strength. This creates a responsive yet stable indicator that accurately reflects market momentum.
// Calculate the basis using the selected MA
basis = get_ma(source, bars)
// Calculate the normalized value with volume impact
dev = source - basis
🔶 Dynamic Visualization
The histogram changes color based on signal strength, providing instant visual cues about market conditions. Green bars indicate positive momentum while red bars represent negative momentum, with color intensity reflecting signal strength.
🔶 Trend Confirmation
Built-in trend direction analysis provides confluence with the primary signal, helping traders distinguish between counter-trend bounces and genuine trend reversals. This dual-confirmation approach significantly reduces false signals.
🔶 Visual Alerts & Boundary Tracking
Monitors signal extremes and dynamically adjusts visualization transparency based on signal strength. The indicator highlights particularly strong impulse moves with background shading, making potential trading opportunities immediately apparent.
🔶 Custom Candle Coloring
Optional candle coloring applies the same color logic as the histogram directly to price candles, providing a unified visual framework that helps traders correlate indicator signals with price action.
🔶 Momentum Shift Detection
Automatically identifies important zero-line crossovers that often signify the beginning of new impulse moves. These transition points frequently offer favorable risk/reward entry opportunities.

This introduction explains what the indicator does, its features, and how it can benefit traders in a concise and easy-to-understand way.
HTF FibonacciThis indicator displays Fibonacci lines for the selected previous HTF candle.
You can set its Fibs levels and colors.
HTF options: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 1 day
CSCMultiTimeframeToolsLibrary "CSCMultiTimeframeTools"
Calculates instant higher timeframe values for higher timeframe analysis with zero lag.
getAdjustedLookback(current_tf_minutes, higher_tf_minutes, length)
Calculate adjusted lookback period for higher timeframe conversion.
Parameters:
current_tf_minutes (int) : Current chart timeframe in minutes (e.g., 5 for 5m).
higher_tf_minutes (int) : Target higher timeframe in minutes (e.g., 15 for 15m).
length (int) : Base length value (e.g., 14 for RSI/MFI).
Returns: Adjusted lookback period (length × multiplier).
Purpose and Benefits of the TimeframeTools Library
This library is designed to solve a critical pain point for traders who rely on higher timeframe (HTF) indicator values while analyzing lower timeframe (LTF) charts. Traditional methods require waiting for multiple candles to close—for example, to see a 1-hour RSI on a 5-minute chart, you’d need 12 closed candles (5m × 12 = 60m) before the value updates. This lag means missed opportunities, delayed signals, and inefficient decision-making.
Why Traders Need This
Whether you’re scalping (5M/15M) or swing trading (1H/4H), this library bridges the gap between timeframes, giving you HTF context in real time—so you can act faster, with confidence.
How This Library Eliminates the Waiting Game
By dynamically calculating the adjusted lookback period, the library allows:
Real-time HTF values on LTF charts – No waiting for candle closes.
Accurate conversions – A 14-period RSI on a 1-hour chart translates to 168 periods (14 × 12) on a 5-minute chart, ensuring mathematical precision.
Flexible application – Works with common indicators like RSI, MFI, CCI, and moving averages (though confirmations should be done before publishing under your own secondary use).
Key Advantages Over Manual Methods
Speed: Instantly reflects HTF values without waiting for candle resolutions.
Adaptability: Adjusts automatically if the user changes timeframes or lengths.
Consistency: Removes human error in manual period calculations.
Limitations to Note
Not a magic bullet – While it solves the lag issue, traders should still:
Validate signals with price action or additional confirmations.
Be mindful of extreme lookback lengths (e.g., a 200-period daily SMA on a 1-minute chart requires 28,800 periods, which may strain performance).
RSI Oversold ScannerPine Script Description for TradingView Publication
Title: RSI Oversold Scanner (1m, 5m, 15m)
Description:
The RSI Oversold Scanner is a powerful tool designed to identify stocks that are simultaneously oversold on the 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute timeframes, based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This script is ideal for traders seeking short-term reversal or momentum opportunities across multiple intraday timeframes.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe RSI Analysis: Calculates RSI (default length: 14) on the 1m, 5m, and 15m timeframes and checks if all are below the oversold threshold (default: 30).
Visual Output: Displays a table in the top-right corner showing RSI values and oversold status ("Yes" or "No") for each timeframe, making it easy to verify conditions.
Scan Result: Plots a value of 1 when all three timeframes are oversold, or 0 otherwise, enabling quick identification of matching stocks.
Alert Support: Includes an alert condition that triggers when a stock is oversold on all timeframes, with a customizable message for real-time notifications.
User-Friendly: Built with Pine Script v6 for compatibility and reliability, with clear visual feedback for traders of all levels.
How It Works:
The script uses ta.rsi to compute RSI on the current chart’s timeframe (1m) and request.security to fetch RSI data for the 5m and 15m timeframes.
It checks if RSI is below the oversold level (default: 30) on all three timeframes.
A table displays the RSI values and oversold status for easy debugging.
The Scan Result plot (1 or 0) indicates whether the stock meets the oversold criteria, which can be used for manual scanning or alerts.
Usage Instructions:
Add the script to your chart via Pine Editor.
Use a watchlist to switch between stocks and check the table or Scan Result for oversold conditions.
Set alerts by selecting the script’s Scan Result condition (value = 1) to get notified when a stock is oversold on all timeframes.
Customize the RSI length or oversold level in the script’s code if needed (e.g., change rsiLength or oversoldLevel).
Notes:
Best used on intraday charts (e.g., 1m or higher) with a watchlist for manual scanning, as TradingView’s Stock Screener does not directly support custom Pine Scripts.
Real-time alerts and intraday data may require a TradingView paid plan.
The script uses only two request.security calls, staying well within Pine Script’s limits.
Ideal For:
Day traders and swing traders looking for oversold stocks across multiple intraday timeframes.
Users who want to combine technical analysis with visual and alert-based confirmation.
VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator SwiftEdgeVWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator
Overview
The VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator is a powerful and visually engaging tool designed to help traders identify high-probability buy and sell opportunities in trending markets. By combining the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and a unique retracement-based signal logic, this indicator pinpoints moments when the price pulls back to a key zone before resuming its trend. Its modern, AI-inspired visuals and customizable features make it both intuitive and adaptable for traders of all levels.
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on a sophisticated yet straightforward strategy:
Buy Signals: Triggered when the price is above VWAP, has recently retraced to the zone between two EMAs (default 12 and 21 periods), and a strong bullish candle closes above both EMAs.
Sell Signals: Triggered when the price is below VWAP, has retraced to the EMA zone, and a strong bearish candle closes below both EMAs.
Signal Filtering: A customizable cooldown period ensures that only the first signal in a sequence is shown, reducing noise while preserving opportunities for new trends.
Confidence Scores: Each signal includes an AI-inspired confidence score (0-100%), calculated from candle strength and price distance to VWAP, helping traders gauge signal reliability.
The indicator’s visuals enhance decision-making with dynamic gradient lines, a highlighted retracement zone, and clear signal labels, all customizable to suit your preferences.
How It Works
The indicator integrates several components that work together to create a cohesive trading tool:
VWAP: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level, reflecting the average price weighted by volume. It filters signals to ensure buys occur in uptrends (price above VWAP) and sells in downtrends (price below VWAP).
Dual EMAs: Two EMAs (default 12 and 21 periods) define a retracement zone where the price is likely to consolidate before continuing its trend. Signals are generated only after the price exits this zone with conviction.
Retracement Logic: The indicator looks for price pullbacks to the EMA zone within a user-defined lookback window (default 5 candles), ensuring signals align with trend continuation patterns.
Candle Strength: Signals require strong candles (bullish for buys, bearish for sells) with a minimum body size based on the Average True Range (ATR), filtering out weak or indecisive moves.
Cooldown Mechanism: A unique feature that prevents signal clutter by allowing only the first signal within a user-defined period (default 3 candles), balancing responsiveness with clarity.
Confidence Score: Combines candle body size and price distance to VWAP to assign a score, giving traders an at-a-glance measure of signal strength without needing external analysis.
These components are carefully combined to capture high-probability setups while minimizing false signals, making the indicator suitable for both short-term and swing trading.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a 15-minute chart (recommended) or your preferred timeframe.
Customize Settings:
VWAP Source: Choose the price source (default: hlc3).
EMA Periods: Adjust the fast and slow EMA periods (default: 12 and 21).
Retracement Window: Set how many candles to look back for retracement (default: 5).
ATR Period & Body Size: Define candle strength requirements (default: 14 ATR period, 0.3 multiplier).
Cooldown Period: Control the minimum candles between signals (default: 3; set to 0 to disable).
Candle Requirements: Toggle whether signals require bullish/bearish candles or entire candle above/below EMAs.
Visuals: Enable/disable gradient colors, retracement zone, confidence scores, and choose a color scheme (Neon, Light, or Dark).
Interpret Signals:
Buy: A green "Buy" label with a confidence score appears below the candle when conditions are met.
Sell: A red "Sell" label with a confidence score appears above the candle.
Use the confidence score to prioritize higher-probability signals (e.g., above 80%).
Trade Management: Combine signals with your risk management strategy, such as setting stop-loss below the retracement zone and targeting a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Why It’s Unique
The VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator stands out due to its thoughtful integration of classic indicators with modern enhancements:
Balanced Signal Filtering: The cooldown mechanism ensures clarity without missing key opportunities, unlike many indicators that overwhelm with frequent signals.
AI-Inspired Confidence: The confidence score simplifies decision-making by quantifying signal strength, mimicking advanced analytical tools in an accessible way.
Elegant Visuals: Dynamic gradients, a highlighted retracement zone, and customizable color schemes (Neon, Light, Dark) create a sleek, futuristic interface that’s both functional and visually appealing.
Flexibility: Extensive customization options let traders tailor the indicator to their style, from conservative swing trading to aggressive scalping.
Volume Flow RatioVolume Flow Ratio (VFR) Indicator
Overview
The Volume Flow Ratio (VFR) is a sophisticated volume analysis tool that measures current trading volume relative to the maximum volume of the previous period. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show raw volume or simple moving averages, VFR provides context by comparing current activity to recent maximum activity levels.
Core Features
1. Split Period Analysis
- Multiple Timeframe Options:
- Daily: Compares to previous day's maximum
- Weekly: Week-to-week comparison
- NYSE Weekly: Specialized for stock market trading (Monday-Friday only)
- Monthly: Month-to-month analysis
- Quarterly: Quarter-to-quarter perspective
- Yearly: Year-over-year volume comparison
2. Ratio-Based Measurement
- Displays volume as a ratio (0 to 1+) rather than raw numbers
- 1.0 represents volume equal to previous period's maximum
- Example: If previous max was 50,000 contracts:
- Current volume of 25,000 shows as 0.5
- Current volume of 75,000 shows as 1.5
3. Triple Coloring Modes
- Moving Average Based:
- Compares current ratio to its moving average
- Customizable MA period
- Green: Above MA (higher than average activity)
- Red: Below MA (lower than average activity)
- Previous Candle Comparison:
- Simple increase/decrease from previous bar
- Green: Higher than previous bar
- Red: Lower than previous bar
- Candle Color Based:
- Syncs with price action
- Green: Bullish candles (close > open)
- Red: Bearish candles (close < open)
Primary Use Cases
1. Volume Profile Analysis
- Perfect for traders who need to understand when markets are most active
- Helps identify unusual volume spikes relative to recent history
- Useful for timing entries and exits based on market participation
2. Market Activity Traders
Ideal for traders who:
- Need to identify high-liquidity periods
- Want to avoid low-volume periods

- Use Daily split for intraday volume patterns
- MA coloring mode with shorter periods (5-10)
- Focus on ratios during market hours
For Swing Traders
- Weekly or NYSE Weekly splits
- Longer MA periods (15-20)
- Look for sustained volume patterns
For Position Traders
- Monthly or Quarterly splits
- Candle color mode for trend confirmation
- Focus on major volume shifts
Limitations
- Requires one full period to establish baseline
- May be less effective in extremely low volume conditions
- NYSE Weekly mode specific to stock market hours
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who understand that volume is a crucial component of price action but need a more sophisticated way to analyze it than simple volume bars. It's especially useful for those who trade based on market participation levels and need to quickly identify whether current volume is significant relative to recent history.

🛠 Filters to filter out false signals
1️⃣ Minimum distance between the signals
- What it does: sets the minimum number of candles between signals of the same type
- Why it is needed: it prevents the appearance of too frequent signals, especially during periods of high volatility
- How to set it up: Set a different value for each signal type (default: 3-5 bars)
- Example: if the value is 3 for Up/Down signals, after the buy signal appears, the next buy signal may appear no earlier than 3 bars later
2️⃣ Advanced indicator filters
🔍 RSI Filter
- What it does: Checks the Relative Strength Index (RSI) value before generating a signal
- Why it is needed: it helps to avoid countertrend entries and catch reversal points
- How to set up:
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the RSI range, usually in the oversold zone (for example, 1-30)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the RSI range, usually in the overbought zone (for example, 70-100)
- Example: if the RSI = 25 (in the range 1-30), the buy signal will be confirmed
📊 MFI Filter (Cash Flow Index)
- What it does: analyzes volumes and the direction of price movement
- Why it is needed: confirms signals with data on the activity of cash flows
- How to set up:
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the MFI range in the oversold zone (for example, 1-25)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the MFI range in the overbought zone (for example, 75-100)
- Example: if MFI = 80 (in the range of 75-100), the sell signal will be confirmed
📈 Stochastic Filter
- What it does: analyzes the position of the current price relative to the price range
- Why it is needed: confirms signals based on overbought/oversold conditions
- How to configure:
- You can configure the K Length, D Length and Smoothing parameters
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the stochastic range in the oversold zone (for example, 1-20)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the stochastic range in the overbought zone (for example, 80-100)
- Example: if stochastic = 15 (is in the range of 1-20), the buy signal will be confirmed

Big Candle Highlighter (Nifty 1m)This indicator will help option buyers to avoid taking trade in impulsive candles.
For Example :
Normal 1m candle: ~10–15 pts
Big candle (possible liquidity/impulse): >18 pts
Very large / avoid chasing: >25 pts
If you see a candle that breaks structure with a 25-30 point range and closes strong, it’s often:
A liquidity sweep
A news spike
Or the start of an impulsive leg — in which case entering at close can be risky without a retest
Quarterly Theory ICT 04 [TradingFinder] SSMT 4Quarter Divergence🔵 Introduction
Sequential SMT Divergence is an advanced price-action-based analytical technique rooted in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology. Its primary objective is to identify early-stage divergences between correlated assets within precise time structures. This tool not only breaks down market structure but also enables traders to detect engineered liquidity traps before the market reacts.
In simple terms, SMT (Smart Money Technique) occurs when two correlated assets—such as indices (ES and NQ), currency pairs (EURUSD and GBPUSD), or commodities (Gold and Silver)—exhibit different reactions at key price levels (swing highs or lows). This lack of alignment is often a sign of smart money manipulation and signals a lack of confirmation in the ongoing trend—hinting at an imminent reversal or at least a pause in momentum.
In its Sequential form, SMT divergences are examined through a more granular temporal lens—between intraday quarters (Q1 through Q4). When SMT appears at the transition from one quarter to another (e.g., Q1 to Q2 or Q3 to Q4), the signal becomes significantly more powerful, often aligning with a critical phase in the Quarterly Theory—a framework that segments market behavior into four distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal/Continuation.
For instance, a Bullish SMT forms when one asset prints a new low while its correlated counterpart fails to break the corresponding low from the previous quarter. This usually indicates absorption of selling pressure and the beginning of accumulation by smart money. Conversely, a Bearish SMT arises when one asset makes a higher high, but the second asset fails to confirm, signaling distribution or a fake-out before a decline.
However, SMT alone is not enough. To confirm a true Market Structure Break (MSB), the appearance of a Precision Swing Point (PSP) is essential—a specific candlestick formation on a lower timeframe (typically 5 to 15 minutes) that reveals the entry of institutional participants. The combination of SMT and PSP provides a more accurate entry point and better understanding of premium and discount zones.
The Sequential SMT Indicator, introduced in this article, dynamically scans charts for such divergence patterns across multiple sessions. It is applicable to various markets including Forex, crypto, commodities, and indices, and shows particularly strong performance during mid-week sessions (Wednesdays and Thursdays)—when most weekly highs and lows tend to form.
Bullish Sequential SMT :
Bearish Sequential SMT :
🔵 How to Use
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is designed to detect time and structure-based divergences between two correlated assets. This divergence occurs when both assets print a similar swing (high or low) in the previous quarter (e.g., Q3), but in the current quarter (e.g., Q4), only one asset manages to break that swing level—while the other fails to reach it.
This temporal mismatch is precisely identified by the SSMT indicator and often signals smart money activity, a market phase transition, or even the presence of an engineered liquidity trap. The signal becomes especially powerful when paired with a Precision Swing Point (PSP)—a confirming candle on lower timeframes (5m–15m) that typically indicates a market structure break (MSB) and the entry of smart liquidity.
🟣 Bullish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing low.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., EURUSD) breaks that low and trades below it.
The other asset (e.g., GBPUSD) fails to reach the same low, preserving the structure.
This time-based divergence reflects declining selling pressure, potential absorption, and often marks the end of a manipulation phase and the start of accumulation. If confirmed by a bullish PSP candle, it offers a strong long opportunity, with stop-losses defined just below the swing low.
🟣 Bearish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing high.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., NQ) breaks above that high.
The other asset (e.g., ES) fails to reach that high, remaining below it.
This type of divergence signals weakening bullish momentum and the likelihood of distribution or a fake-out before a price drop. When followed by a bearish PSP candle, it sets up a strong shorting opportunity with targets in the discount zone and protective stops placed above the swing high.

🔵 Conclusion
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is a powerful and precise tool for identifying structural divergences between correlated assets within a time-based framework. Unlike traditional divergence models that rely solely on sequential pivot comparisons, SSMT leverages Quarterly Theory, in combination with concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSB) and precision swing points (PSP), to provide a deeper and more actionable view of market dynamics.
By using SSMT, traders gain not only the ability to identify where divergence occurs, but also when it matters most within the market cycle. This empowers them to anticipate major moves or traps before they fully materialize, and position themselves accordingly in high-probability trade zones.
Whether you're trading Forex, crypto, indices, or commodities, the true strength of this indicator is revealed when used in sync with the Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal phases of the market. Integrated with other confluence tools and market models, SSMT can serve as a core component in a professional, rule-based, and highly personalized trading strategy.

Why use this script?
Gives a full view of trend + momentum without cluttering the main price chart, and it helps confirm entries and exits by observing RSI behavior alongside EMAs. The optional divergence detection can act as a signal for potential exhaustion or reversal (not entry signals on their own). It is a Good fit for traders who use RSI zones, divergences, and EMA structure in their decision-making, both for intra-day and swing trades (where it performs best).
How to use
Add this script to your chart. EMAs will appear on the main price chart; RSI and divergence will appear in a separate pane.
Adjust RSI and MA settings to fit your trading style (e.g., fast RSI for scalping, slower for swing)
Enable "Show Divergence" if you want visual alerts and markers
Use alerts to get notified when a divergence occurs without watching the chart
Always check the divergences on different time frames to validate the setup, and do not consider them valid on small time frames (<15 minutes).
Built for traders who want both momentum and trend context in a single tool — without clutter, repainting, or noise. I created this script to streamline my own analysis and avoid switching between multiple indicators. It's not meant to be a "signal generator" but a visual assistant for making better decisions.

Market Structure - HH, HL, LH, LL with Trendlines & AlertsMarket Structure Script – HH, HL, LH, LL with Trendlines & Alerts
This Pine Script is designed to help identify key market structure patterns such as Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL) on price charts. It also draws trendlines connecting the respective swing points and provides alerts when these important price patterns occur.
Key Features:
Swing High and Low Detection:
The script uses the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to identify significant swing highs and swing lows based on the pivot length (pivotLen). These points mark local peaks and troughs in the price action.
Dynamic Pivot Length:
The script adjusts the pivotLen (which defines the number of bars used to calculate swing points) based on the current timeframe of the chart. For example, for a 15-minute chart, it uses a pivot length of 5 bars, while for a daily chart, it uses 10 bars. This dynamic adjustment ensures that the script works across different timeframes.
Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), Lower Lows (LL):
Higher High (HH): Identifies a price peak that is higher than the previous swing high, indicating an uptrend.
Higher Low (HL): Identifies a price trough that is higher than the previous swing low, supporting the idea of an ongoing uptrend.
Lower High (LH): Identifies a price peak that is lower than the previous swing high, suggesting a potential reversal or downtrend.
Lower Low (LL): Identifies a price trough that is lower than the previous swing low, indicating a downtrend.
Trendlines:
For each identified Higher High, Higher Low, Lower High, or Lower Low, the script automatically draws a trendline connecting the corresponding swing points. These trendlines provide a visual representation of the market’s price structure, showing support and resistance levels.
Labels:
The script places labels on the chart next to the respective swing points. These labels mark whether the point is a Higher High (HH), Higher Low (HL), Lower High (LH), or Lower Low (LL). This helps traders easily visualize the price pattern at a glance.
Alerts:
Alert conditions are set for when a Higher High (HH), Higher Low (HL), Lower High (LH), or Lower Low (LL) is detected. Users can set up alerts to be notified whenever one of these key market structure patterns forms. Alerts are an essential feature for traders who want to act quickly when important trend changes are happening.
RSI VWAP POC [Uncle Sam Trading]Category: Oscillators, Volume, Market Profile
Timeframe: Suitable for all timeframes
Markets: Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Commodities
Overview
The RSI VWAP POC indicator is a powerful and innovative oscillator that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), and Point of Control (POC) from market profile analysis. Designed to provide traders with clear, high-probability trading signals, this indicator helps you identify key market levels, spot overbought/oversold conditions, and time your entries and exits with precision. Whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, or scalper, this free tool adds significant value to your trading strategy by offering a unique blend of momentum, volume, and market profile insights.
How It Works
This indicator integrates three core components to deliver actionable insights:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures momentum to identify overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) conditions, helping you anticipate potential reversals.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): Calculates a volume-weighted price benchmark, which is used to compute a more accurate, volume-sensitive RSI. This ensures the indicator reflects true market dynamics.
POC (Point of Control): Derived from market profile analysis, the POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume in a session, acting as a critical support or resistance level.
The indicator plots a smoothed RSI based on VWAP, overlaid with market profile data on a user-defined higher timeframe (default: 4H). The POC is displayed as a red line, with aqua bars indicating the value area where the majority of trading volume occurred. When the RSI crosses the POC, the indicator generates clear buy and sell signals:
Strong Buy (SBU): RSI crosses above the POC in an oversold zone.
Strong Sell (SBD): RSI crosses below the POC in an overbought zone.
Additional features include:
Background colors to highlight bullish (green) or bearish (red) trends.
Shaded zones for overbought (70/60) and oversold (30/40) levels.
Customizable settings to fit your trading style and timeframe.
How This Indicator Adds Value
The RSI VWAP POC indicator offers several key benefits that enhance your trading performance:
High-Probability Signals: By combining RSI, VWAP, and POC, this indicator identifies trades at key market levels where price is likely to react, increasing your win rate.
Improved Timing: Clear buy and sell signals, such as ‘SBU’ and ‘SBD’, help you enter and exit trades at optimal points, maximizing profitability.
Risk Management: Overbought/oversold zones and trend confirmation via background colors help you avoid false signals, protecting your capital.
Versatility: Suitable for all markets (crypto, forex, stocks) and timeframes, making it a valuable tool for traders of all experience levels.
Time Efficiency: The indicator does the heavy lifting by analyzing momentum, volume, and market profile data, allowing you to focus on executing trades.
Real-World Performance Example: On a 1-hour Bitcoin chart with a 4-hour higher timeframe, this indicator identified a strong sell signal on April 6th at 12:00 ($82,000), leading to a 9% drop to $74,600. A subsequent strong buy signal on April 7th at 04:00 ($76,200) captured a 6% rise to $81,200 – a potential 25% profit with 5x leverage if exited at 5%.

Dynamic Volume Profile PoC SwiftedgeOverview
The Dynamic Volume Profile PoC is a powerful and visually intuitive indicator designed to help traders identify key support and resistance levels using a unique combination of pivot points, volume analysis, and dynamic Point of Control (PoC) levels. This script overlays directly on your chart, providing clear visual cues for potential breakout and rejection zones, making it easier to spot high-probability trading opportunities.
What It Does
This indicator combines three core components to deliver actionable insights:
Pivot Points: Identifies significant swing highs and lows to establish potential support and resistance levels.
Volume Oscillator: Measures volume momentum to confirm the strength of price movements, ensuring that breakouts or rejections are backed by significant volume.
Dynamic Point of Control (PoC): Calculates the midpoint between consecutive pivot points to create dynamic PoC levels, which act as key areas where price is likely to either break through (breakout) or reverse (rejection).
These components work together to highlight critical price levels where the market is likely to react, giving traders a clear framework for decision-making.
How It Works
Pivot Detection: The script uses pivot highs and lows (based on user-defined Left Bars and Right Bars) to identify significant price levels. These pivots form the foundation for calculating PoC levels.
PoC Calculation: Each time a new pivot is detected, the script calculates the midpoint between the current pivot and the previous pivot, creating a dynamic PoC level. These levels are plotted as horizontal lines on the chart, with a maximum of Max PoC Lines to Show (default: 2) visible at any time.
Volume Confirmation: A volume oscillator (short EMA of volume minus long EMA of volume) is used to filter breakouts and rejections. Breakouts or rejections are only signaled if the volume oscillator exceeds the Volume Threshold (default: 20), ensuring that price movements are supported by strong volume.
Visual Cues:
PoC levels are drawn as cyan lines with optional semi-transparent zones (controlled by Show PoC Zones). These zones are colored green for potential breakouts (price above PoC) and red for potential rejections (price below PoC).
Labels above and below each PoC level indicate trading opportunities: "Long if breakout"/"Long if rejected" (green) and "Short if breakout"/"Short if rejected" (red), depending on the price's direction relative to the PoC.
Break signals ("B") are plotted above or below bars when price crosses a pivot level with sufficient volume, colored red for downward breaks and green for upward breaks.
How to Use
Add the Indicator: Add the "Dynamic Volume Profile PoC " to your chart in TradingView.
Adjust Settings:
Left Bars and Right Bars (default: 15): Control the sensitivity of pivot detection. Lower values make the script more sensitive to smaller price swings.
Volume Threshold (default: 20): Set the minimum volume oscillator value required to confirm breakouts or rejections. Increase this for stricter confirmation.
Max PoC Lines to Show (default: 2): Define how many PoC levels are displayed at once.
Show PoC Zones (default: true): Toggle semi-transparent zones around PoC levels for better visualization.
Label Spacing Factor (default: 0.5): Adjust the vertical spacing between labels and the PoC box. Increase this value (e.g., to 1.0 or 2.0) for more spacing, or decrease it (e.g., to 0.3) for less.
Interpret the Signals:
Look for PoC levels (cyan lines) as key areas of interest.
Use the labels to identify potential trades: "Long if breakout" indicates a buy opportunity if price breaks above the PoC, while "Short if rejected" suggests a sell if price fails to break through.
Watch for "B" signals to confirm breakouts or rejections with volume support.
Combine with Your Strategy: Use the PoC levels and break signals as part of your broader trading strategy, such as trend-following or mean-reversion setups.
Why This Script is Unique
The Dynamic Volume Profile PoC stands out by combining pivot points, volume analysis, and dynamic PoC levels into a single, cohesive tool. Unlike traditional volume profile indicators that require a fixed range, this script dynamically updates PoC levels based on recent price action, making it more responsive to current market conditions. The addition of volume confirmation ensures that signals are backed by market participation, reducing false breakouts. The visually appealing design, with customizable spacing and semi-transparent zones, makes it easy to interpret key levels at a glance, even for traders unfamiliar with Pine Script.
Notes
This script works best on timeframes where pivot points are meaningful (e.g., 1H, 4H, or daily charts).
Adjust the Label Spacing Factor to ensure labels are well-spaced for your chart's zoom level and instrument.
For instruments with high volatility, you may need to increase the Volume Threshold to filter out noise.
