Columns represent the five BBMA setups: EXT Buy, EXT Sell, CSD, CSM Buy, CSM Sell, RE Buy, RE Sell, and MHV.
Interpreting the Signals
1. EXT (Extreme) Setup
EXT Buy (Green Arrow):
Condition: Price touches or breaks below the BB lower band, closes above it, with high ATR volatility, strong volume, and additional confirmations (e.g., hammer candle, RSI oversold, MACD bullish, MAHI/MALO crossover, or bullish divergence).
Interpretation: A potential reversal buy signal. Look for confirmation in the subplot table (LTF and HTF rows).
Action: Consider a long position if LTF and HTF confirm (✔ in both rows). Use the BB middle or upper band as a target.
EXT Sell (Red Arrow):
Condition: Price touches or breaks above the BB upper band, closes below it, with high ATR volatility, strong volume, and additional confirmations (e.g., shooting star candle, RSI overbought, MACD bearish, MAHI/MALO crossunder, or bearish divergence).
Interpretation: A potential reversal sell signal.
Action: Consider a short position if LTF and HTF confirm. Use the BB middle or lower band as a target.
2. CSD (Consolidation) Setup
CSD (Yellow Diamond):
Condition: BB width is narrow (below its SMA), low ATR volatility, small candles, and no MAHI/MALO crossovers.
Interpretation: The market is consolidating, often preceding a breakout (e.g., MHV).
Action: Avoid trading during CSD unless preparing for an MHV breakout. Monitor the subplot for "Upcoming" MHV signals.
3. CSM (Continuation Setup Movement)
CSM Buy (Teal Arrow):
Condition: Price is above the BB middle, MAHI crossover, MALO crossover or MACD bullish, price above EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bullish engulfing or MACD bullish).
Interpretation: A continuation buy signal in an uptrend.
Action: Enter a long position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB upper band or recent swing highs.
CSM Sell (Maroon Arrow):
Condition: Price is below the BB middle, MAHI crossunder, MALO crossunder or MACD bearish, price below EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bearish engulfing or MACD bearish).
Interpretation: A continuation sell signal in a downtrend.
Action: Enter a short position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB lower band or recent swing lows.
4. RE (Re-Entry) Setup
RE Buy (Aqua Arrow):
Condition: Price is between the BB lower and middle bands, MAHI crossover, MALO crossover or MACD bullish, price above EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bullish engulfing or MACD bullish).
Interpretation: A re-entry buy signal after a pullback in an uptrend.
Action: Enter a long position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB middle or upper band.
RE Sell (Fuchsia Arrow):
Condition: Price is between the BB upper and middle bands, MAHI crossunder, MALO crossunder or MACD bearish, price below EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bearish engulfing or MACD bearish).
Interpretation: A re-entry sell signal after a pullback in a downtrend.
Action: Enter a short position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB middle or lower band.
5. MHV (Market High Volatility) Setup
MHV (Orange Label):
Condition: Follows a CSD signal, with expanding BB width, high ATR volatility, strong volume, and MAHI/MALO crossover or crossunder.
Interpretation: A breakout signal after consolidation, indicating high volatility and potential for a strong move.
Action: Trade in the direction of the breakout (e.g., buy if MAHI crossover, sell if MAHI crossunder). Confirm with LTF and HTF. Target significant levels like recent swing highs/lows.
6. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
LTF Confirmation: A checkmark (✔) in the LTF row indicates the signal is also present on the lower timeframe (e.g., 5m). This adds confidence to the trade.
HTF Confirmation: A checkmark (✔) in the HTF row indicates alignment with the higher timeframe trend (e.g., 4h). This confirms the signal's strength.
Strongest Signals: Look for signals with both LTF and HTF confirmations (✔ in both rows). These have the highest probability of success.
7. Upcoming Signals
The CTF row in the subplot table may show "Upcoming" for a setup (e.g., EXT Buy: Upcoming). This indicates the setup is forming but not yet confirmed.
Action: Monitor these setups closely. They may turn "Active" on the next candle if conditions are met.
Trading Tips
Trend Alignment: Use the EMA 50 and market structure (is_uptrend) to ensure trades align with the overall trend. For example, prioritize CSM Buy signals in an uptrend.
Risk Management:
Set stop-losses below recent swing lows (for buys) or above recent swing highs (for sells).
Use the BB middle or opposite band as a target for most setups.
Avoid Overtrading: Focus on signals with LTF and HTF confirmations to filter out noise.
Timeframe Selection:
Scalping: Use 1m or 5m CTF with 1m LTF and 15m HTF.
Day Trading: Use 15m or 1h CTF with 5m LTF and 4h HTF.
Swing Trading: Use 4h or 1D CTF with 1h LTF and 1D HTF.
Backtesting: Test the indicator on historical data for your chosen asset and timeframe to understand its performance.

The indicator includes built-in alerts for each setup:
EXT Buy/Sell: Triggers when an EXT signal is confirmed.
CSD: Triggers during consolidation.
CSM Buy/Sell: Triggers for continuation signals.
RE Buy/Sell: Triggers for re-entry signals.
MHV: Triggers for high volatility breakouts. To set up alerts:
Right-click on the chart and select "Add Alert."
Choose the condition (e.g., "BBMA EXT Buy").
Set your preferred notification method (e.g., email, SMS).
Limitations
Lagging Indicators: The indicator uses moving averages and other lagging tools, which may delay signals in fast-moving markets.
False Signals: Like all indicators, it can produce false signals, especially in choppy markets. Use LTF/HTF confirmations to filter trades.
Timeframe Dependency: Ensure your CTF, LTF, and HTF are properly aligned to avoid conflicting signals.

Nef33-Volume Footprint ApproximationDescription of the "Volume Footprint Approximation" Indicator
Purpose
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a tool designed to assist traders in analyzing market volume dynamics and anticipating potential trend changes in price. It is inspired by the concept of a volume footprint chart, which visualizes the distribution of trading volume across different price levels. However, since TradingView does not provide detailed intrabar data for all users, this indicator approximates the behavior of a footprint chart by using available volume and price data (open, close, volume) to classify volume as buy or sell, calculate volume delta, detect imbalances, and generate trend change signals.
The indicator is particularly useful for identifying areas of high buying or selling activity, imbalances between supply and demand, delta divergences, and potential reversal points in the market. It provides specific signals for bullish and bearish trend changes, making it suitable for traders looking to trade reversals or confirm trends.
How It Works
The indicator uses volume and price data from each candlestick to perform the following calculations:
Volume Classification:
Classifies the volume of each candlestick as "buy" or "sell" based on price movement:
If the closing price is higher than the opening price (close > open), the volume is classified as "buy."
If the closing price is lower than the opening price (close < open), the volume is classified as "sell."
If the closing price equals the opening price (close == open), it compares with the previous close to determine the direction:
If the current close is higher than the previous close, it is classified as "buy."
If the current close is lower than the previous close, it is classified as "sell."
If the current close equals the previous close, the classification from the previous bar is used.
Delta Calculation:
Calculates the volume delta as the difference between buy volume and sell volume (buyVolume - sellVolume).
A positive delta indicates more buy volume; a negative delta indicates more sell volume.
Imbalance Detection:
Identifies imbalances between buy and sell volume:
A buy imbalance occurs when buy volume exceeds sell volume by a defined percentage (default is 300%).
A sell imbalance occurs when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the same percentage.
Delta Divergence Detection:
Positive Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is falling (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is increasing or becomes positive, indicating that buyers are entering despite the price decline.
Negative Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is rising (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is decreasing or becomes negative, indicating that sellers are entering despite the price increase.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal (trendChangeBullish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a positive delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a negative value (e.g., -500) to a positive value (e.g., +200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a buy imbalance.
The price is near a historical support level (approximated as the lowest low of the last 50 bars).
Bearish Signal (trendChangeBearish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a negative delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a positive value (e.g., +500) to a negative value (e.g., -200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a sell imbalance.
The price is near a historical resistance level (approximated as the highest high of the last 50 bars).
Visual Elements
The indicator is displayed in a separate panel below the price chart (overlay=false) and includes the following elements:
Volume Histograms:
Buy Volume: Represented by a green histogram. Shows the volume classified as "buy."
Sell Volume: Represented by a red histogram. Shows the volume classified as "sell."
Note: The histograms overlap, and the last plotted histogram (red) takes visual precedence, meaning the sell volume may cover the buy volume if it is larger.
Delta Line:
Delta Volume: Represented by a blue line. Shows the difference between buy and sell volume.
A line above zero indicates more buy volume; a line below zero indicates more sell volume.
A dashed gray horizontal line marks the zero level for easier interpretation.
Imbalance Backgrounds:
Buy Imbalance: Light green background when buy volume exceeds sell volume by the defined percentage.
Sell Imbalance: Light red background when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the defined percentage.
Divergence Backgrounds:
Positive Delta Divergence: Lime green background when a positive delta divergence is detected.
Negative Delta Divergence: Fuchsia background when a negative delta divergence is detected.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal: Green label with the text "Bullish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bullish trend change are met.
Bearish Signal: Red label with the text "Bearish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bearish trend change are met.
Information Labels:
Below each bar, a label displays:
Total Vol: The total volume of the bar.
Delta: The delta volume value.
Alerts
The indicator generates the following alerts:
Positive Delta Divergence: "Positive Delta Divergence Detected! Price is falling, but delta is increasing."
Negative Delta Divergence: "Negative Delta Divergence Detected! Price is rising, but delta is decreasing."
Bullish Trend Change Signal: "Bullish Trend Change Signal! Positive Delta Divergence, Delta Rise, Buy Imbalance, and Near Support."
Bearish Trend Change Signal: "Bearish Trend Change Signal! Negative Delta Divergence, Delta Drop, Sell Imbalance, and Near Resistance."
These alerts can be configured in TradingView to receive real-time notifications.
Adjustable Parameters
The indicator allows customization of the following parameters:
Imbalance Threshold (%): The percentage required to detect an imbalance between buy and sell volume (default is 300%).
Lookback Period for Divergence: Number of bars to look back for detecting price and delta trends (default is 2 bars).
Support/Resistance Lookback Period: Number of bars to look back for identifying historical support and resistance levels (default is 50 bars).
Delta High Threshold (Bearish): Minimum delta value 2 bars ago for the bearish signal (default is +500).
Delta Low Threshold (Bearish): Maximum delta value in the current bar for the bearish signal (default is -200).
Delta Low Threshold (Bullish): Maximum delta value 2 bars ago for the bullish signal (default is -500).
Delta High Threshold (Bullish): Minimum delta value in the current bar for the bullish signal (default is +200).
Practical Use
The indicator is useful for the following purposes:
Identifying Trend Changes:
The trend change signals (trendChangeBullish and trendChangeBearish) indicate potential price reversals. For example, a bullish signal near a support level may be an opportunity to enter a long position.
Detecting Divergences:
Delta divergences (positive and negative) can anticipate trend changes by showing a disagreement between price movement and underlying buying/selling pressure.
Finding Key Levels:
Imbalances (green and red backgrounds) often coincide with support and resistance levels, helping to identify areas where the market might react.
Confirming Trends:
A consistently positive delta in an uptrend or a negative delta in a downtrend can confirm the strength of the trend.
Identifying Failed Auctions:
Although not detected automatically, you can manually identify failed auctions by observing a price move to new highs/lows with decreasing volume in the direction of the move.
Limitations
Intrabar Data: It does not use detailed intrabar data, making it less precise than a native footprint chart.
Approximations: Volume classification and support/resistance detection are approximations, which may lead to false signals.
Volume Dependency: It requires reliable volume data, so it may be less effective on assets with inaccurate volume data (e.g., some forex pairs).
False Signals: Divergences and imbalances do not always indicate a trend change, especially in strongly trending markets.
Recommendations
Combine with Other Indicators: Use tools like RSI, MACD, support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns to confirm signals.
Trade on Higher Timeframes: Signals are more reliable on higher timeframes like 1-hour or 4-hour charts.
Perform Backtesting: Evaluate the indicator's accuracy on historical data to adjust parameters and improve effectiveness.
Adjust Parameters: Modify thresholds (e.g., imbalanceThreshold or supportResistanceLookback) based on the asset and timeframe you are trading.
Conclusion
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing volume dynamics and anticipating price trend changes. By classifying volume, calculating delta, detecting imbalances and divergences, and generating trend change signals, it provides traders with valuable insights into market buying and selling pressure. While it has limitations due to the lack of intrabar data, it can be highly effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools and on assets with reliable volume data.
ZenAlgo - BenderThis script combines several volume-based methodologies into a single chart overlay to help traders analyze market participation and volume distribution. It aggregates volume from multiple sources—spot and perpetual markets across different exchanges—and processes it to display various insights directly on the chart.
The script provides a detailed view of both individual-bar volume and broader aggregated trends. It calculates certain values, plots different shapes and overlays, and includes an optional informational table. However, it does not offer financial signals or predict future price movements. Instead, it presents multiple volume and range-related highlights for educational or analytical observations.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the core elements in this script:
Core Data Calculation and Aggregation
To build a comprehensive volume picture, the script retrieves volume data from multiple predefined exchanges for both Spot and Perpetual pairs. The volume for each bar is processed in Aggregated mode , meaning it combines data across selected sources to produce a single composite volume value.
The script applies average-based aggregation to calculate the final volume figures. The total volume is then used as the basis for further calculations, such as buy/sell volume decomposition and Delta analysis.
Buy/Sell Volume Decomposition
Each bar’s total volume is separated into an estimated buy portion and a sell portion. This decomposition uses logic that considers wick length, body size, and whether the bar closed higher or lower than it opened. The script assigns fractions of the total volume to the upper wick, lower wick, and body, then multiplies these by the total aggregated volume to estimate buy and sell volumes.
This breakdown is calculated separately for spot-only volume , perp-only volume , and their aggregated sums, allowing traders to analyze how much of each bar’s volume is estimated as "buy" or "sell."
Delta and Cumulative Delta
The script computes a Delta (buy volume minus sell volume) for each bar. A positive Delta suggests more buying during that bar, while a negative Delta suggests more selling.
It also computes Cumulative Delta , summing this Delta over 14 bars (a fixed period). This allows users to observe how short-term buy/sell imbalances accumulate over time.
Visual Bar Coloring (PVSRA Logic)
The script includes logic based on PVSRA (Price Volume Support Resistance Analysis) , which examines average volume over a recent lookback period to determine whether a bar meets certain "climax" or "above-average" thresholds.
Bars are categorized as:
Climax Up or Climax Down: If a bar meets strong volume and range conditions, it is identified as a high-activity bar.
Neutral Colors: Bars that do not meet the threshold are identified as standard volume bars.
Table Summaries
The script includes an optional Spot vs. Perpetual volume table that provides:
Aggregated Spot vs. Perpetual buy/sell volumes
The net difference between buying and selling
The total sum across all included sources
Percentage breakdown of buying vs. selling
A separate multi-timeframe table calculates volume-related metrics for fixed timeframes (15, 60, and 240 minutes), allowing traders to compare their current timeframe with broader trends.
Highlighted Shapes and Diamonds
The script places shape markers above or below bars when certain conditions are met, including:
Dots (circles): Representing a significant increase in net Delta compared to the previous bar.
Diamonds: Markers that appear when volume-based conditions align with predefined thresholds. These vary in size and include an optional "Hardcore Mode" , which applies stricter filtering.
Crossover Triangles: These appear when the internally computed Delta MA (a moving average of Delta) crosses above or below a predefined EMA.
These markers highlight notable changes in volume, Delta, or price action but do not constitute predictive trading signals.
Delta Averages and Overlaid EMAs
The script plots a histogram of the current net Delta (buy minus sell) . Additionally, a Delta Moving Average (Delta MA) is used for tracking trends. The Delta MA is plotted alongside predefined Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) , such as:
A Delta MA calculated using an exponential moving average (EMA) over 21 bars.
A set of predefined EMAs (lengths such as 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 21, 25, etc.) plotted to visualize momentum changes.
Areas between these EMAs can be filled with translucent shading to highlight momentum shifts.
Comparing the Delta MA to the overlaid EMAs helps track changes in Delta momentum over time.
Interpreting the Elements
When using this script, consider the following:
Volume Aggregation: The script aggregates volume across multiple Spot and Perpetual sources to provide a broad market view.
Delta and Cumulative Delta: The Delta histogram may spike positively or negatively, highlighting areas of potential buying or selling pressure.
Table Data: If enabled, the tables display buy/sell volume splits for Spot and Perpetual markets, along with multi-timeframe comparisons.
EMA Overlays on Delta: The stacked EMAs help visualize short-term vs. longer-term Delta changes.
Shape Markers: Dots, diamonds, and triangles emphasize notable shifts in volume or Delta but do not imply recommendations for action.
Usage Tips
Toggle "Hardcore Mode" to apply stricter filtering to highlight conditions.
Enable or disable the Spot vs. Perpetual Table to see if the breakdown of volume sources is useful.
Use the multi-timeframe table to compare intraday data with broader trends.
If the chart appears too cluttered, toggle off features like PVSRA color tints or some EMAs to focus on specific elements.
Final Thoughts
This script integrates multiple volume-based calculations, range analysis, aggregated volume from predefined tickers, and various moving averages for Delta. Its visual layers—color-coded bars, histograms, shape markers, and tables—offer a rich perspective on market activity.
Users can analyze these elements across any timeframe or market combination they prefer. The script does not provide buy/sell signals or make predictions —it is purely an analytical tool for understanding volume-based market dynamics.
Traders should interpret these visual elements according to their own strategy and trading approach.
NUTJP CDC ActionZone 20241. Core Components of the Strategy
• Fast EMA and Slow EMA:
• The Fast EMA (shorter period) is more reactive to recent price changes.
• The Slow EMA (longer period) reacts slower and provides a smoother view of the overall trend.
• Relationship Between Fast EMA and Slow EMA:
• When the Fast EMA is above the Slow EMA, the market is considered Bullish.
• When the Fast EMA is below the Slow EMA, the market is considered Bearish.
2. Zones Based on Price and EMAs
The strategy defines six zones based on the position of the price, Fast EMA, and Slow EMA:
1. Green Zone (Buy):
• Bullish trend (Fast EMA > Slow EMA)
• Price is above the Fast EMA.
• Indicates a strong uptrend and suggests buying.
2. Blue and Light Blue Zones (Pre-Buy):
• Price is above the Fast EMA but below or near the Slow EMA.
• Represents potential bullish signals but not strong enough to trigger a buy.
3. Red Zone (Sell):
• Bearish trend (Fast EMA < Slow EMA)
• Price is below the Fast EMA.
• Indicates a strong downtrend and suggests selling or avoiding long trades.
4. Orange and Yellow Zones (Pre-Sell):
• Price is below the Fast EMA but above or near the Slow EMA.
• Represents potential bearish signals but not strong enough to trigger a sell.
These zones help traders visualize the market conditions and determine whether to buy, hold, or sell.
3. Buy and Sell Conditions
• Buy Condition:
A buy signal is triggered when:
• The price enters the Green Zone (Bullish trend and price > Fast EMA).
• It’s the first green candle after a non-green candle.
• Sell Condition:
A sell signal is triggered when:
• The price enters the Red Zone (Bearish trend and price < Fast EMA).
• It’s the first red candle after a non-red candle.
4. Trade Execution Logic
• Buy:
The strategy enters a long position (buy) when the above buy condition is met.
• Sell:
The strategy exits the long position when the sell condition is met.
Note: It doesn’t support short trades, meaning it doesn’t enter sell positions.
5. Momentum-Based Signals (Optional)
The indicator also includes momentum signals using Stochastic RSI to provide additional buy/sell signals:
• These are based on oversold and overbought levels of the Stochastic RSI.
• It filters signals depending on whether the trend is Bullish or Bearish.
6. Visual Features
The indicator is designed to make the trading zones and signals visually intuitive:
• Bar Colors:
Candlesticks are colored based on the current zone (e.g., Green for Buy, Red for Sell).
• EMA Lines:
The Fast EMA and Slow EMA are plotted, making it easy to see crossover points.
• Buy/Sell Signals:
Marked with shapes (e.g., circles) below/above bars for clarity.
7. Strategy Assumptions
• Trend-Following Nature:
This strategy assumes that trends persist. It works best in trending markets but might give false signals in ranging markets.
• Lagging Nature of EMAs:
As EMAs are lagging indicators, buy and sell signals may occur after significant moves have already begun or ended.
• Momentum Confirmation (Optional):
Adding momentum signals can help filter false signals, though it’s not part of the core logic.
8. Usage Recommendations
• Timeframes:
Works on various timeframes but may perform better on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, Daily) to reduce noise.
• Markets:
Can be applied to stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
• Backtesting and Optimization:
Before live trading, backtest the strategy with different EMA periods and other parameters to find optimal settings for your market and timeframe.
Buyer to Seller Volume (BSV) Indicator As promised, here is the buyer to seller volume indicator!
About it/How it works:
The indicator tracks buying and selling volume. It does it simplistically but effectively simply by looking at red vs green candles and averaging out the volume of each respective candle.
It uses the SMA of buying/selling and overall volume to track buyers to sellers and also display the average volume traded over a designated period of time.
Legend:
Green lines = buying volume
Red lines = selling volume
Yellow lines = SMA over designated period of time (user input defined, default is 14 candles).
Buyers are shown in green and sellers are shown in red:
How to Use it:
Default, the indicator goes to 1 Day, 14 candle period.
My preference personally is to use to have it go to "chart" but you can view any time period on the chart that you want and designate the time period of volume you want to view independently.
This can be used for:
1. Identify trends: When buying or selling volume is above selling volume and above the SMA, you know that this persuasively supports a bullish trend. Inverse for the opposite (see below):
2. To identify fakeouts and whether there is volume backing a move:
3. To identify potential changes in trends via a cross:
Its also a great reference when you are unsure of a move. This indicator literally just saved me from wrongfully shorting the FOMC bear flag today:
Probably many other uses you can find, but these are the things I like to use it for!
As always, I have posted a tutorial video for your reference:
As always though, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions for the indicator, please share them below!
Safe trades and best of luck to all!
CroSel Indicator ToolboxA value-packed or all-in-one indicator. The main one is probably the algorithmic signal. I have noticed a few trading groups that rely solely on their algo trading signals. I have derived my own using MACD . I find that it works better or just as good as what I have seen. The others indicators are also very powerful and could even be used on a stand alone basis. There are different variations included. I wanted to provide 10x the value at whatever price I would put on this. However I think I've provided at least 20x the expected value. What I like about this is that with more signals, we can visually see confluence. In turn, that should give us traders confidence. The follow is a list of all the indicators I've included so far:
How to use (for all indicators): I suggest using these trade signals as confluence for the main algorithmic trade signals. Aside from MACD and RSI , there are a limited number of signals, but they will all show up within the most recent bars that have passed. Buy when green/lime and sell when red/fuchsia. I suggest experimenting with the the different modes to see what you believe works best for your trading style.
I prefer to use the last signal provided, but I also like to rely on looking at signals as a group, if they are all rising, I'm bullish ; if they are all falling, I'm bearish .
Note on Color Scheme: Red/Fuchsia color means to short/sell and green/lime color means to long/buy.
- Algorithmic signal - provides trade signals. How to use: When there is a green arrow up, it means you should go long. When there is a red arrow down, it means you should exit your long or short sell. If the arrow is lime colored, it means the stock is trending upwards and if the arrow is fuchsia, it means the stock is trending downwards.
- Band and hit count - provides bands to track volatility , as well as tracks the number of times the price hits the upper or lower bands. It also provides candle-to-candle slope as a %. How to use: You can use this to play the odds in your favor. For example: if a stock hits the upper bands 13 times during the morning, and then hits the lower bands 4 times afterwards and then moves upwards away from the lower bands towards the middle of the bands, from here we may be able to say that since 13 is greater than 4, that the stock price may rise again and start hitting the upper bands. Another way I like to use this indicator, is if a stock hits the upper bands more than 16 to 20 times, I like to exit the trade before it has a chance to drop. Lastly, there are zones where a stock price will go above or below 100% or 0% respectively. For example, a stock starts to hit the 110% area of the bands. This could be an excellent time to sell/short the stock.
- Volume surge - provides signals of when volume is increasing/decreasing depending on the color and direction. How to use: Gives you confidence that the price will rise higher/lower.
- EMA 5 & 10 - It is the exponential moving average of the past 5 or 10 bars. It will be either be red or green depending on the slope. How to use: I like to use it as if it were a trend line (which I like to call slanted support/resistance ). For example, if I buy a stock and it falls below EMA 10 I will generally sell the stock, and if it rises past EMA 5 I will generally buy the stock.
- Background color - Background color shows whether the stock is bullish or bearish . If it is green/red, it is slightly bullish / bearish respectively. If it is lime/fuchsia, it is very bullish / bearish respectively. How to use: Take long positions if the background color is greenish(i.e. green/lime) and take short position if the background color is reddish (i.e.red/fuchsia). Please bear in mind, background color will look slightly different if you are already coloring the extended hour session backgrounds.
- Channel Breakout Lines - These lines show the rigid channel that the stock will travel through. How to use: Watch a stock that is in a channel, if it is going up, watch the red dotted line which extends into the future,
if it the stock falls below that previous red dotted line you should sell/short the stock. If a stock is going down, watch the green dotted line, and if the stock goes past the previous green dotted line, you should buy.
- MACD - Moving Average Convergence and Divergence provides trade signals. How to use: 1 turns it off. 2 provides the classic, buy and sell signals based on when the MACD line crosses over or under the signal line. 3 provides faster trade
signals. 4 provides the algorithmic signals. All variations can change according to Algo sensitivity and Algo Signal speed since the algo uses MACD as it's base.
- RSI - Relative Strength Index provides trade signals. How to use: 1 turn it off, 2 turns on and provides the buy and sell signals for above 70 and below 30 RSI respectively. 3 and 4 provide slow and fast RSI trade signals respectively.
4 is my favorite and can be used to provide confluence.
- VWAP - Volume Weighted Average Price . a 2 value is the regular vwap line. A value of 3 or 4 will show that the VWAP line or fill from line until the close is colored
according to slope of EMA 5. How to use: Buy below the VWAP if it shows some support and sell/Short above if it shows some resistance. When the color is red it will show the
- ROC - Rate of Change trade signals. Take note of the circle shaped symbols. Normal mode shows you when the rate of change has crossed the zero line; this can be a very bullish or bearish signal. 3rd mode will gives signals based on whether ROC has stopped making new highs or new lows. 4th mode gives the fastest signals, making it the least risky.
- MFI - Money Flow Index trade Signals. Take note of the Long arrow symbols. Modes work as described.
- BOP - Balance of power trade signals. Take note of the square symbols. The simple mode provides only the biggest trade signals, and the complex mode provides both the biggest and smallest trade signals.
- OBV - A running total of positive and negative volume . Take note of the diamond shaped symbols. Slow signals are really slow. Fast signals are really fast. Use according to your trading speed preference.
- Stochastics - A momentum oscillator that provides trade signals. Take note of the plus shaped symbols and factor them into your judgement on when to trade.
- CCI - Commodity Channel Index trade signals based on momentum. Take note of the X symbols.
- CMF - Chaikin Money Flow trade signals. Take note of the flag symbols.
- ADX - ADX is a component of the Directional Movement System developed by Welles Wilder. When it says to buy, I suggest that you go long, and then before it says to sell you try to sell. And then you can also try to go long before it says to buy. As soon as I see buy, I want to be in the stock and conversely, when I see sell I want to be out of it.
- Price-Volume Divergence - This indicator is a candle by candle indicator which shows that if volume is rising and price is falling, then there is bullish divergence , Conversely if price is rising and volume is falling there is bearish divergence. This a leading indicator.
- Ichimoku Clouds - This indicator just shows the clouds in the Ichimoku cloud system. It can be used to buy under the clouds and sell over the clouds. It can also be used as a possible support/resistance level during an uptrend/downtrend respectively.
- PSAR - Parabolic Stop and Reverse . Denotes uptrends/downtrends, by multiple dotted lines. You can use it by buying/selling when it breaks out of a downtrend/uptrend respectively. Or you can use it to sell/buy during an uptrend/downtrend respectively. Warning: it is generally slow. I find that it's very reliable from a 5 minute perspective.
- Fibonacci levels - People generally use Fibonacci levels for retracement for when a stock pulls back. I personally like to use it as a predictive tool along with looking at the slope. If the slope is negative/positive and moving away/near from 50% line then, I would be bearish / bullish respectively.
- Moving Average ( EMA and SMA ) lines - Exponential moving average and Smooth moving average lines. EMA lines move faster and SMA lines move slower. I like to use these lines as trend lines which can tell me if there is an uptrend or downtrend. The strength of the trend is shown by the distance away from the slowest EMA / SMA lines. I like to sell when it's far above the trendline, and buy when it's closer to the trendline. Be weary of the price crossing trendlines .
- Information Panel - (Price location, Trend Strength, Volatilty Ratio, Current State, Reversal/Continuation Odds): Mode 2 will give you basic price location info. Mode 3 is my favorite and will give you the most info. and Mode 4 will give you the Schwager volatility ratio which can help with stock selection; the higher the ratio, the more movement can be expected.
- Support & Resistance levels - Horizontal dotted lines which show the stock price and where it experiences support/resistance . Can be used in many ways. I like to use it by counting the number of support/resistance lines provided and if support lines exceed resistance lines, I will be more likely to go long.
- Candle Colors - Overlay a color onto the Candles. Note: I encourage the use of Heiken Ashi which helps a lot with low volume candles. Candles can be colored according to their location within the bands, and also according to a trailing stop loss based on Average True Range . Buy low, sell high for the location mode and for the stop loss mode, selling/buying is encouraged when the bars go completely red/green respectively.
- Linear Regression - Draws a (black) line of best fit, and shows 2 standard deviations away from the line of best fit above(red) and below(green). I suggest buying/selling below/above the line of best fit respectively. Strong buys or sells generally occur below or above the standard deviation lines respectively.
Power Trader Study The Power Trader is an indicator based around the Balance of Power Oscillator. Balance of Power is a price-based measurement that evaluates and compares the strength of buyers and sellers by assessing their respective abilities to push prices to extreme points(both extreme highs and extreme lows).
BoP values fluctuate between a maximum value of 100 and a minimum value of -100. When the BoP value is greater than 0, it indicates that buying pressure is greater than selling pressure. Conversely, negative BoP readings mean that selling pressure is greater than buying pressure.
The exponential moving average of Balance of Power values is displayed as a gray line on the chart. The upper red line represents the upper bound at which a security is considered overbought. The lower green line represents the threshold where we start to consider a security to be in an oversold state.
When the gray BoP EMA line crosses below the lower green line, it changes color to green then changes back to gray once it crosses back above that lower threshold. Similarly, the line turns red when it crosses above the upper red line.
When the EMA line is between the upper and lower bounds, it signifies that there is no significant difference between the power of buyers versus the power of sellers. The top red area indicates that the amount of buying pressure is relatively high. The lower green area means that selling pressure is abnormally high.
When the BoP line falls between the red and green areas, do not take action. When the BoP line turns green and is inside the green area, enter a long position. When the BoP line rises above the red line and into the upper red area, exit the long position.
Entry signals are displayed as vertical green lines that extend the length of the chart. Exit signals are represented by the same lines, except in red.
Users can decide the order of signals in the input option menu through the ‘allow repeat signals’ parameter. If this is set to false, the study will generate signals in the logical chronologic order of . If it is set to true, then signals will be generated as they come, regardless of whether the last signal was its inverse. This means that it could generate sequences like this for example .
Additionally, the stop and limit can also be set in the input menu through the ‘stop’ and ‘limit’ options. This input option accepts parameters of type float (ie: numbers that contain decimals).
The 'Upper Bound for BoP Values' and 'Lower Bound for BoP Values' input options gives traders the option to adjust the upper and lower thresholds for buy and sell signals. It is important to note that setting the upper bound higher or the lower bound lower will result in less frequent signals (and vice versa).
When it is time to enter a long position, an alert with the following message is sent “Power Trader - High Sell Pressure, Enter Long”.
When it is time to exit a long position, an alert with the following message is sent “Power Trader - High Buy Pressure, Exit Long”.

™TradeChartist Entry/Exit Indicator™TradeChartist Entry/Exit Indicator is an easy to use indicator that plots very high probability BUY and SELL signals on the chart along with an optional dynamic trigger line for SELL and BUY which can be used as a reference for Stop Loss/ Trailing Stop Loss.
What does the ™TradeChartist Entry/Exit Indicator do?
Plots very high probability BUY and SELL signals on chart
Plots dynamic BUY or SELL trigger lines that can be used to
---------1. Set Stop Loss reference or Trailing Stop Loss.
---------2. Anticipate change in trend/momentum when price breaches the trigger line.
Plots BUY and SELL price lines which are Candle open prices when BUY/SELL signals are posted.
Alert traders when BUY/SELL signal is generated and Trigger for BUY/SELL is breached.
Plots Background vertical Signal break lines at BUYs in green and at SELLs in red.
Plots % Gains based on candle close in real-time and based on candle high for BUY/candle low for SELL on previous candles calculated from the candle open price at BUY/SELL.
Plots RSI colour candles based on user preferred Overbought and Oversold RSI levels from indicator settings.
Paints background colour for BUY and SELL zones which can be changed from indicator settings under Style tab to personalise the chart screen.
What markets can this indicator be used on?
Forex
Stocks
Commodities
Cryptocurrencies
and almost any asset on Trading View
Works really well when there is good volume, volatility or both in the asset observed/traded.
Does this indicator repaint?
No and Yes
Once the confirmed BUY (in green) and SELL (in red) signals are posted after a candle close, it doesn't repaint.
Repainting happens for real time BUY and SELL trigger plots on the current candle as price tries to breach the trigger line.
For confirmed BUY and SELL alerts, use alerts on candle close. Real-time BUY and SELL trigger alerts can also be set.
Does the indicator send alerts when a signal is generated?
Yes, traders can get alerts by setting Trading View alerts for BUY/SELL Signals and BUY/SELL Triggers. For confirmed BUY/SELL alerts, 'Once per bar close' must be used.
Why are there two Signal Generator types in the indicator settings?
The two types of signal generators cater to almost all types of traders and trade types. Some assets perform well with Type 1 and some assets with Type 2. Also some traders prefer Type 1 and some prefer Type 2 based on variation in frequency of signals on the asset observed. Both types can be used along with 'Use Heikin Ashi Candles' from the indicator settings to have more combinations to test on an asset for maximising gains.
Type 1 on GBPUSD 1hr chart
Type 2 on GBPUSD 1hr chart
Type 1 normally works well with most types of assets.
Should the indicator be used on normal candles or Heikin Ashi candles?
The indicator can be used on either of the candle types. If signals from Heikin Ashi chart needs to be plotted on normal chart, just check 'Use Heikin Ashi Candles' from indicator settings. It may not be exact, but very close as it mimics Heikin Ashi chart trend.
Heikin Ashi charts are recommended to spot trends and reversals but they don't reflect real OHLC values in the candles, so BUY/SELL entry price points may not be ideal using Heikin Ashi charts especially when there are gaps in price action (example Stocks, FOREX, Commodities). For real OHLC prices and to know exact price points for entering/exiting trade, use normal candlestick charts. It is purely for this reason Heikin Ashi chart signals can be mimicked on normal candles using 'Use Heikin Ashi Candles' option from settings without having to switch between the two.
It can be seen from the GOLD 1hr charts above (Heikin Ashi on left and normal candlestick chart on right), the indicator mimics signals sensibly (not copy) and doesn't use same entry values as Heikin Ashi chart to aid the trader with practical trade execution.
How do the Trigger Lines work and should they be used?
Trigger for BUY/SELL lines are coded to adapt to bull and bear power in the asset trading environment and helps the trader to anticipate change in trend based on direction of price momentum when enabled from indicator settings (On by default). Traders can use trigger lines as reference for Stop Loss points. For example, when a BUY signal is posted, the 'Trigger for SELL' can be used as initial Stop Loss reference and as price starts going up, the trigger line starts moving up enabling the trader to use it as a trailing stop loss point which helps secure or lock profits as they act as ideal support/resistance lines based on the type of trade too. BUY/SELL Trigger lines can be enabled or disabled from indicator settings 'Inputs' tab.
Also, the trigger lines can alert traders to anticipate change in trend/momentum when price hits them and it helps them take a position, either Long or Short when confirmed BUY/SELL signal is posted. As price tries to breach the trigger lines, they change from 'Trigger to BUY/SELL' to 'BUY/SELL Triggered' as shown below on 1hr Gold chart. This feature is coded purely to signal the trader a potential change in trend/momentum. The trigger lines also act as strong support/resistance so only a confirmed close above them will ensure a High Probability Trade.
It should also be noted that price tends to test the BUY/SELL trigger lines to see if a breach is possible. A rejection at trigger lines could mean trend continuation in the signal direction. Traders could use other trend indicators like Ichimoku cloud, stoch, TRIX etc. to make an informed trade decision here. In the chart below, the 'BUY triggered' label has changed back to 'Trigger for BUY' as price failed to close above it.
What is the use of 'Plot BUY/SELL Price Line'?
Enabling BUY/SELL price line from settings (On by default) plots the price line corresponding to candle open when BUY/SELL signals were posted on the chart by the indicator. Open price is used as it is close to the trigger lines and is a fair reference point for indicator to calculate the gains plot on chart since BUY/SELL signals.
Can trade gains be plotted on chart and how are they calculated?
To show percentage gains on chart, just enable 'Show % Gains on Chart' from indicator settings (Off by default). As explained above, % gains are calculated from BUY/SELL candle Open price to high (for Long trades) or low (for Short trades) and to current candle close (for both Long and Short trades) as it helps see real-time gains from BUY/SELL candle Open price. The % gains are plotted as below.
0 - 0.75% - ↑ in green
0.75-1.5% - 1% in green
1.51-2.5% - 2% in green
2.51-3.5% - 3% in green
3.51-4.5% - 4% in green
4.51-5.5% - 5% in green
5.51-10.5% - 5+% in green
10.51-20% - 10+% in green
20+% - 20+% in green
Down from Entry - ↓ in red
What are RSI Colour Candles?
RSI Colour Candles are visual candle plots in colour (Blue when RSI>60, Yellow when RSI<30 and On by default) that help trades spot RSI levels at a glance visually from the chart in real-time without the need for another indicator on screen. Traders can also choose the source to be used for plotting RSI colour candles from indicator settings input tab and change candle colours from indicator settings style tab. The length for RSI calculation is 14 and works well for almost any trading scenario and cannot be changed from indicator settings. The default overbought RSI is set at 60 as it helps spot momentum increase and big moves happen above 60 RSI. When deciding to sell or buy, RSI can be tuned from settings to spot decent entry or exit. For example, RSI>80 on a red Heikin Ashi candle (blue body and red border) after an uptrend could signal potential sell-off or RSI<30 on a green Heikin Ashi candle (yellow body and green border) after a down trend could signal a good move up. In the example daily chart of RVN-BTC below, RSI>75 on a red Heikin Ashi candle signalled a potential sell off way before the actual SELL signal plot on chart.
What is the use of Signal Break Line Plot and Paint Background options from indicator settings?
Signal break lines can be useful if traders prefer to switch off BUY/SELL signals from indicator settings to show where previous signals were generated. (On by default)
Paint Background is just a nice to have feature that paints the signal zones to personalise the chart screen. (Off by default). The background paint colours can be changed from indicator settings style tab.
4hr SPX chart below showcases the difference when the Signal Break Lines and Background Paint options are used with BUY/SELL signals switched off.
Important Note:
When using this indicator on a chart, check 'Scale Price Chart Only' and 'Auto (Fits Data to Screen)' by clicking on settings wheel on the bottom right under the chart screen as shown below. If not checked, the chart screen will look like one on the left as shown below.

Inside Candle DivergenceStudy Material: Inside Candle Divergence Indicator (aiTrendview)
1. Introduction
The Inside Candle Divergence Indicator is a custom tool built on TradingView using Pine Script. It is designed to help traders identify potential reversal points or trend continuations using a mix of candlestick analysis, RSI (Relative Strength Index), VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), Pivot Points, and Volume analytics. The tool also provides a dashboard table on the chart, summarizing all key values in a single glance for traders and analysts.
This indicator is not just a signal generator but also an educational framework—explaining how different concepts in technical analysis combine to build a systematic approach for market entries and exits.
________________________________________
2. Core Concepts Behind the Tool
A. Inside Candle Pattern
An Inside Candle forms when the current candle’s high is lower than or equal to the previous candle’s high, and the low is higher than or equal to the previous candle’s low.
• This means the entire price action of the current candle is "inside" the range of the previous candle.
• A bullish inside candle occurs when the close is higher than the open.
• A bearish inside candle occurs when the close is lower than the open.
This pattern shows market indecision but also sets up potential breakouts or trend reversals.
________________________________________
B. RSI (Relative Strength Index)
The indicator calculates RSI using the formula from the ta.rsi() function in TradingView. RSI helps measure momentum in the market.
• A low RSI (below 25) signals an oversold zone → possible buy.
• A high RSI (above 75) signals an overbought zone → possible sell.
By combining RSI with the Inside Candle, the indicator ensures that signals are triggered only when momentum and price patterns confirm each other.
________________________________________
C. Buy & Sell Signals
• Buy Signal: Triggered when RSI < Buy Level (default 25) and a bullish inside candle forms.
• Sell Signal: Triggered when RSI > Sell Level (default 75) and a bearish inside candle forms.
When triggered, the chart displays a BUY (green label below candle) or SELL (red label above candle) marker. The indicator also saves the entry price and signal bar for future reference inside the dashboard.
________________________________________
D. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP is calculated using the typical price (H+L+C)/3 and weighting it by volume.
• VWAP shows the average trading price weighted by volume, widely used by institutions.
• The tool calculates the distance of price from VWAP in % terms.
• If price is far above VWAP, the market may be overheated (overbought). If far below, it may be undervalued (oversold).
________________________________________
E. Volume Analysis
The tool splits volume into Buy Volume and Sell Volume:
• Buy Volume: If close > open.
• Sell Volume: If close ≤ open.
• Cumulative totals are maintained, and percentages are calculated to show what proportion of total market volume is bullish vs bearish.
• A progress bar style visual (using blocks █) shows the dominance of buyers or sellers.
This allows traders to quickly measure whether buyers or sellers are controlling the market trend.
________________________________________
F. Daily Pivot Points
Pivot Points are calculated using the previous day’s high, low, and close:
• Pivot = (High + Low + Close) / 3
• R1, S1, R2, S2, R3, S3 levels are derived from this pivot.
• These levels act as support and resistance zones.
The script plots Pivot, R1, and S1 lines on the chart for easy reference.
________________________________________
G. Trend Direction
The indicator checks where the price is compared to R1 and S1:
• If price > R1 → Bullish Trend
• If price < S1 → Bearish Trend
• Otherwise → Neutral Trend
The trend direction is displayed in the dashboard with arrows (↑, ↓, →).
________________________________________
H. Price Change Calculation
The tool calculates:
• Price Change = Current Close – Previous Close
• Percentage Change = (Change / Previous Close) × 100
• Displays ▲ (green upward) or ▼ (red downward) with the exact percentage.
This gives traders a quick snapshot of intraday price movement.
________________________________________
I. Dashboard Table
One of the most powerful features is the real-time dashboard table shown on the chart. It contains:
1. Symbol & Price Info (Current ticker, price, change %)
2. RSI Reading (with color coding: green for oversold, red for overbought)
3. VWAP and Distance from VWAP
4. Volume Analysis with Progress Bar (Buy vs Sell %)
5. Pivot Levels (Pivot, R1, S1)
6. Trend Direction (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral)
7. Signal Status (Last Buy/Sell signal with entry price)
This reduces the need for multiple indicators and gives traders a command-center view directly on the chart.
________________________________________
J. Alerts
The tool generates alerts whenever a Buy or Sell condition is met. Traders can set up TradingView alerts to be notified instantly when:
• Buy Signal Alert → RSI oversold + Bullish inside candle
• Sell Signal Alert → RSI overbought + Bearish inside candle
This ensures no opportunity is missed even if you’re not actively monitoring the chart.
________________________________________
K. Background Highlights
The chart background also changes faintly (light green or light red) when a Buy or Sell condition is triggered. This gives traders visual confirmation along with signals and alerts.
________________________________________
3. Practical Use of This Tool
• Scalpers & Intraday Traders can use it for quick momentum-based entries.
• Swing Traders can use the RSI + Inside Candle + Pivot Points to find medium-term reversals.
• Analysts can use the dashboard for real-time summaries in reports.
• Volume Analysis helps understand institutional activity.
Remember: This is not a standalone holy grail. It must be used with proper risk management and confirmation from higher timeframes.

Intraday Volume Pulse GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIAIntraday Volume Pulse Indicator
Overview
This indicator is designed to track and visualize intraday volume dynamics during a user-defined trading session. It calculates and displays key volume metrics such as buy volume, sell volume, cumulative delta (difference between buy and sell volumes), and total volume. The data is presented in a customizable table overlay on the chart, making it easy to monitor volume pulses throughout the session. This can help traders identify buying or selling pressure in real-time, particularly useful for intraday strategies.
The indicator resets its calculations at the start of each new day and only accumulates volume data from the specified session start time onward. It uses simple logic to classify volume as buy or sell based on candle direction:
Buy Volume: Assigned to green (up) candles or half of neutral (doji) candles.
Sell Volume: Assigned to red (down) candles or half of neutral (doji) candles.
All calculations are approximate and based on available volume data from the chart. This script does not incorporate external data sources, order flow, or tick-level information—it's purely derived from standard OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) bars.
Key Features
Session Customization: Define the start time of your trading session (e.g., market open) and select from common timezones like Asia/Kolkata, America/New_York, etc.
Volume Metrics:
Buy Volume: Total volume attributed to bullish activity.
Sell Volume: Total volume attributed to bearish activity.
Cumulative Delta: Net difference (Buy - Sell), highlighting overall market bias.
Total Volume: Sum of all volume during the session.
Formatted Display: Volumes are formatted for readability (e.g., in thousands "K", lakhs "L", or crores "Cr" for large numbers).
Color-Coded Table: Uses a patriotic color scheme inspired by general themes (Saffron, White, Green) with dynamic backgrounds based on positive/negative values for quick visual interpretation.
Table Options: Toggle visibility and position (top-right, top-left, etc.) for a clean chart layout.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply this indicator to any symbol's chart (works best on intraday timeframes like 1-min, 5-min, or 15-min).
Configure Inputs:
Session Start Hour/Minute: Set to your market's open time (default: 9:15 for Indian markets).
Timezone: Choose the appropriate timezone to align with your trading hours.
Show Table: Enable/disable the metrics table.
Table Position: Place the table where it doesn't obstruct your view.
Interpret the Table:
Monitor for spikes in buy/sell volume or shifts in cumulative delta.
Positive delta (green) suggests buying pressure; negative (red) suggests selling.
Use alongside price action or other indicators for confirmation—e.g., high total volume with positive delta could indicate bullish momentum.
Limitations:
Volume classification is heuristic and not based on actual order flow (e.g., it splits doji volume evenly).
Data accumulation starts from the session time and resets daily; historical backtesting may be limited by the max_bars_back=500 setting.
This is for educational and visualization purposes only—do not use as sole basis for trading decisions.
Calculation Details
Session Filter: Uses timestamp() to define the session start and filters bars with time >= sessionStart.
New Day Detection: Resets volumes on daily changes via ta.change(time("D")).
Volume Assignment:
Buy: Full volume if close > open; half if close == open.
Sell: Full volume if close < open; half if close == open.
Cumulative Metrics: Accumulated only during the session.
Formatting: Custom function f_format() scales large numbers for brevity.

Enhanced Split Buy Sell VolumeCore Components and What They Show
1. Buy Volume (Green Columns Above Zero):
Represents estimated buying pressure: The portion of total volume attributed to buyers, calculated as volume * (close - low) / (high - low).
How to Read: Taller green bars indicate stronger buying interest in that candle. If the close is near the high, most volume is assigned to buys (green bar dominates).
Highlight (Lime Color): If buy volume exceeds the average volume by the threshold (default 1.5x), it turns lime. This signals a potential "buy climax" or surge in demand—watch for breakouts or reversals.
2. Sell Volume (Red Columns Below Zero):
Represents estimated selling pressure: The remainder of volume, calculated as volume * (high - close) / (high - low).
How to Read: Taller red bars (extending further below zero) show stronger selling. If the close is near the low, sell volume dominates.
Highlight (Fuchsia Color): Turns fuchsia for high sell volume, indicating a "sell climax" or heavy supply—could signal breakdowns or exhaustion.
3. Zero Line (Dotted Gray Horizontal Line):
Acts as a neutral divider: Green above = net buying; red below = net selling.
How to Read: Compare the "mirror image" of green and red heights. If green is consistently taller than red (e.g., over multiple candles), it suggests building bullish momentum.
4. Net Volume MA (Blue Line):
A moving average (default 14 periods) of net volume (buy volume minus sell volume).
How to Read:
Above zero and rising: Bullish volume trend—buyers are gaining control.
Below zero and falling: Bearish volume trend—sellers dominate.
Crosses zero: Potential shift in momentum (e.g., from bearish to bullish if crossing up).
Divergences: If price makes new highs but the MA flattens or drops, it could signal weakening momentum (bearish divergence).
[Stoxello] Linear Regression Chop Zone Indicator📊 Linear Regression Chop Zone Indicator – Description
The Stoxello Linear Regression Chop Zone Indicator is a custom-built, multi-functional visual tool for identifying market trend direction, strength, and potential entry/exit signals using a combination of linear regression, EMA slope angles, and volatility-adjusted smoothing.
🧠 Core Features:
🔶 1. Chop Zone Color Coding (Trend Strength via EMA Angle)
The script calculates the angle of a 34-period EMA, representing momentum and trend steepness.
This angle is then translated into color-coded bars on the chart to help traders visually identify chop zones and trend strength.
Turquoise / Dark Green / Pale Green = Increasing bullish trend.
Lime / Yellow = Neutral or low momentum (choppy zones).
Orange / Red / Dark Red = Increasing bearish trend.
🔶 2. Linear Regression Deviation Channels (Trend Path)
A custom linear regression line is drawn with +/- deviation bands above and below it.
These lines track the expected price path and visually define upper/lower zones, similar to regression channels.
The correlation (R) and determination (R²) values are displayed as labels on the chart, measuring the strength and reliability of the linear fit.
🔶 3. Linear Regression-Adjusted EMA (Smoothing with Volatility)
A novel volatility-adaptive EMA is computed by combining a traditional EMA with distance from a linear regression line.
The result is a dynamic EMA that becomes more reactive in volatile conditions and smoother in stable ones.
Two lines are plotted:
Primary EMA (Yellow)
Trigger Line (Lagged by 2 bars, Fuchsia)
The fill color between these two helps visualize short-term bullish or bearish pressure.
🔶 4. Buy/Sell Signal Logic with De-Duplication
Buy signals are triggered when:
The adjusted EMA crosses above its previous value (bullish inflection).
Or when the EMA angle exceeds +5° (strong trend detected).
Sell signals occur when:
The adjusted EMA crosses below its previous value.
Each signal is deduplicated by tracking the last signal using var string lastSignal:
No repeat buys after a buy, or sells after a sell.
Signals are marked on the chart using clean text labels:
Buy: "•Entry• = Price"
Sell: "•Exit• = Price"
🔶 5. Alerts
Two alertconditions are included for:
BUY signals (long_signal)
SELL signals (short_signal)
Can be used with webhooks, email, or app notifications to automate or monitor trades.
🔍 Ideal Use Cases:
Traders who want a clear visual aid for market chop vs. trend.
Swing or intraday traders looking for adaptive entry/exit points.
Anyone combining regression analysis and momentum tracking into one indicator.
CoffeeShopCrypto Supply Demand PPO AdvancedCoffeeShopCrypto PPO Advanced is a structure-aware momentum oscillator and price-trend overlay designed to help traders interpret momentum strength, exhaustion, and continuation across evolving market conditions. It’s not a “buy/sell” signal tool — it's a momentum context tool that helps confirm trend intent.
Original Code derived from the Price Oscillator Indicators (PPO) found in the TradingView Technical Indicators categories. You can view the info and calculation for the original PPO here
www.tradingview.com
Much like the MACD, the PPO uses a couple lagging indicators to present Momentum as a percentage. But it lacks context to market structure.
What It’s Based On
This tool is based on a dual-moving-average PPO oscillator structure (Percentage Price Oscillator) enhanced by:
Oscillator pivot structure: detection of Lower Highs (LH) and Higher Lows (HL) inside the oscillator.
Detection of Supply and Demand Trends via Market Absorption
Ability to transfer its average plots to price action
Detection of Trend Exhaustion
Real-time price-based exhaustion levels: projecting potential future supply and demand using trendlines from weakening momentum.
Integrated fast and slow Moving Averages on price using the same inputs as the oscillator, to visualize alignment between short- and long-term trends.
These elements combine momentum context with price action in a visual, intuitive system.
How It Works
1. Oscillator Structure
LHs (above zero): momentum weakening in uptrends.
HLs (below zero): momentum strengthening in downtrends.
Only valid pivots are shown (e.g., an LH must be preceded by a valid LL).
2. Exhaustion Levels
Green demand lines: price is making new lows, but oscillator prints HL → potential exhaustion.
Red supply lines: price is making new highs, but oscillator prints LH → potential exhaustion.
These lines are future-facing, projecting likely reaction zones based on momentum weakening.
3. Moving Averages on Price
Two MAs are drawn on the price chart:
Fast MA (same length as PPO short input)
Slow MA (same length as PPO long input)
These are not signal lines — they're visual guides for trend alignment.
MA crossover = PO crosses zero. This indicates short- and long-term momentum are syncing — a powerful signal of trend conviction.
When price is above both MAs, and the PO is rising above zero, bullish momentum is dominant.
When price is below both MAs, and the PO is falling below zero, bearish momentum dominates.
How Traders Can Use It
✅ Spot Trend Initiation
Wait for clear trend confirmation in price.
Use PPO Momentum+ to confirm momentum structure is aligned (e.g., HH/HL in oscillator + price above both MAs).
🔁 Track Continuations
In uptrends, look for oscillator HH and HL sequences with price holding above both MAs.
In downtrends, seek LL and LH sequences with price below both MAs.
⚠️ Watch for Exhaustion
Price breaking below red (supply) lines after oscillator LH = bearish exhaustion signal.
Price breaking above green (demand) lines after oscillator HL = bullish exhaustion signal.
These levels act like pre-mapped S/R zones, showing where momentum previously failed and price may react.
Why This Is Different
Momentum tools often lag or mislead when used blindly. This tool visualizes structural failure in momentum and maps potential outcomes. The integration of oscillator and price-based tools ensures traders are always reading context, not just raw signals.
Demand Trendlines
Demand trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Supply Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive selling pressure is persistently absorbed by passive buying interest without significant downward price continuation, and supply becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as demand regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the upside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Selling pressure is absorbed quickly by buyers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process
2. After there is a notable Bearish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive buyers will want to step in at lower prices.
3. After higher lows are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bullish pattern at this trendline where aggressive buyers stepped in to reverse price action to the upside.
Supply Trendlines
Supply trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Demand Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive buying pressure is persistently absorbed by passive selling interest without significant downward price continuation, and demand becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as supply regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the downside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Buying pressure is absorbed quickly by sellers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process.
2. After there is a notable Bullish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive sellers will want to step in at higher prices.
3. After lower highs are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bearish pattern at this trendline where aggressive sellers stepped in to reverse price action to the downside.
Lower High and Higher Low Signals
When the oscillator signals Lower Highs or High Lows its only noting that momentum in that trend direction is slowing. THis indicates a coming pause in the market and the proceeding longs of an uptrend or shorts of a downtrend should be taken with caution.
**These LH and HL markers are not reading as divergences in price vs momentum.**
They are simply registering against the highs and lows of itself..
Moving Averages on Price Action
The Oscillator will cross over its ZERO level the same time your Short and Long MAs cross each other. This will indicate that the short term average trend is moving ahead of the long term.
Crossovers are not an entry signal. It's a method in determining you current timeframe trend strength. Always observe price action as it passes through each of your moving averages and compare it to the positioning and direction of the oscillator.
If price dips in between the moving averages while the oscillator still shows a strong trend strength, you can wait for price to move ahead of your fast moving average.
Bar Colors and Signal Line for Trend Strength
Good Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal rising below Oscillator
Weak Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal above Oscillator
Good Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal falling above Oscillator
Weak Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal below Oscillator
Bar Colors
Bars are colored to match Oscillator Momentum Strength. Colors are set by user.
Why alter the known PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) in this manner?
The PPO tool is great for measuring the strength as percentage of price action over and average amount of candles however, with these changes,
you know have the ability to correlate:
Wycoff theory of supply and demand,
Measure the depth of reversals and pullback by price positioning against moving averages,
Project potential reversal and exhaustion pricing,
Visibly note the structure of momentum much like you would note market structure,
Its not enough to know there is momentum. Its better to know
A) Is it enough
B) Is there something in the way which will cause price to push back
C) Does this momentum correlate to the prevailing trend
[Pandora's Chambers] Apex-Flux NavigatorThe " Apex Flux Navigator FC" indicator, whose name alludes to the unveiling of hidden market forces, offers a rich visual representation of market pressure by combining volume-based pivot analysis with RSI, including a dynamic Fibonacci grid, balanced pressure lines, and highlighted boxes for quick readability. The term "Chambers" in its name refers to the way the indicator frames the balance of power between buyers and sellers within the space defined by two consecutive pivot lines, essentially creating visual chambers that encapsulate this ongoing struggle. The grid is built according to the 25%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 75% levels, marking key support and resistance points. Crucially, this indicator allows you to spot pinpoint momentum divergences against volume, offering insights into potential trend reversals or continuations. The indicator also calculates cumulative buy/sell percentages since the formation of each pivot, displays an average Buy/Sell ratio for each point, uses a smart algorithm that analyzes the length of movement against speed, and draws backgrounds that outline liquidity zones based on Fibonacci ratios of volume and overbought/oversold areas (boxes) to clearly and legibly highlight buyer/seller pressure zones. Furthermore, the rapid identification of pressure zones and momentum shifts can assist in recognizing opportunities for quick scalping trades. Additionally, the width and spacing of the pressure lines visually represent the current market volatility and the difference in liquidity between buyers and sellers.
General Description
The indicator enables automatic identification of pivot points (highs and lows) based on buy/sell activity and TradingView RSI.
It draws vertical lines connecting the full pivot high to the full pivot low, creating a standard Fibonacci grid, and adds balanced pressure lines on the price sides with F--/F+/(F++) annotations corresponding to the degree of TradingView pressure.
How it Works
Pivot Identification – Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with the Pivot Sensitivity parameter to determine highs and lows.
Volume and RSI Collection – The f_addPivot function stores buy/sell volume according to the day's fluctuations and initial RSI; in each bar, the cumulative volume and RSI are updated to calculate a dynamic average.
Creation of Lines and Pressure Points – Calculates pressure percentages based on volume and displays them through dotted/solid lines and labels, including dynamic colors and backgrounds (boxes) for visual illustration using the TradingView “Pressure Lines” technique.
How to Interpret the Output
Dotted lines indicate Liquidity zones where the dominant side's volume is particularly strong and may mark areas that the price is drawn to in order to achieve equilibrium.
Labels with text (“B: xx% | RSI yy%”) display the buy/sell percentage and the average RSI since the pivot's creation together.
F--/F+/F++ annotations reflect a pressure quality scale using the f_getAnnotation function based on pressure percentages.
How to Use
Select “Add to chart” to attach the indicator to the chart.
Through the indicator's settings, you can change Pivot Sensitivity, Fibonacci Grid Length, RSI Period, and more.
Inputs and Settings
Pivot Sensitivity (default: 3)
Extend Pressure Lines (default: off)
RSI Period (default: 14)
Fibonacci Grid Length, Color, Offset
Colors and line styles for the reporting mode
Tips and Recommendations
Use a timeframe that reflects appropriate volatility (e.g., H4/D) to reduce noise; the shorter the timeframe, the more fluid the information the indicator presents.
To improve identification accuracy, combine with moving averages or additional Fibonacci tools.
Avoid automated trading based on the indicator alone – always require confirmation from an additional indicator.
Trade Smart – Let the Apex Flux Navigator FC guide you to significant market pressure levels!
Volume Aggression Monitor📌 Volume Aggression Monitor — Overview
This indicator helps identify buying and selling pressure (aggression) in real-time by analyzing how market participants are executing trades. It is composed of three main components:
🔍 What Does It Show?
🧭 1. The Thermometer (Above Candles)
🟢 Green Arrow (▲) → Buy Aggression: Buyers are lifting the ask.
🔴 Red Arrow (▼) → Sell Aggression: Sellers are hitting the bid.
⚪ Gray Square (■) → Neutral: No significant price movement or aggression.
💡 Neutral in this context means:
The price barely moved during the candle (open-close % change < direction_threshold, default 0.05%).
No clear buyer or seller dominance. It often appears during low volatility, equilibrium, or market indecision periods. This prevents noise and false directional readings due to random micro-movements.
📊 2. Percentage Panel
A table displaying recent trades or candle data (from a lower timeframe). Colored arrows indicate the direction of aggression (buy/sell). Shows volume, delta, and aggression %.
✅ Use it to:
Track clusters of buy/sell aggression. Spot momentum builds.
⏱️ 3. Cumulative Times & Sales Bar
A horizontal progress bar representing cumulative aggression.
Positive = Buy Aggression dominates.
Negative = Sell Aggression dominates.
📉 Even in sideways price movement, this bar shows who is winning the fight under the surface.
---
🧠 How to Use It:
🔹 Confirm Trades
Use the thermometer and aggression signals to confirm your strategy entries (e.g., breakouts, pullbacks, support/resistance).
🔹 Detect Dominance
Observe who is in control: buyers or sellers? Are they pressing or hesitating?
🔹 Filter Market Noise
The neutral state avoids misinterpreting small, meaningless movements as strong signals.

Understanding Market Dynamics Through Market Push Meter
At its core, this indicator provides a unique lens to visualize market pressure through volume analysis:
1. Volume Imbalance: By separating and comparing buying volume (up candles) from selling volume (down candles), the indicator provides insights into which side is exerting more pressure in the market.
2. Normalized Pressure: The indicator normalizes volume pressure as a percentage of total volume, making it more comparable across different market conditions and instruments.
3. Dynamic Boundaries: The marker lines create a visual representation of the "high water marks" of pressure in both directions, helping to identify when markets are making new pressure extremes.
4. Exhaustion Signals: The peak detection system highlights moments where pressure has reached a local maximum or minimum, often precursors to reversals or consolidations.
Remember:
- Combine signals from volume pressure, marker lines, and peak formations
- Use appropriate timeframe settings for your trading style
- Customize the indicator to match your visual preferences and market
- Consider overall market conditions and correlate with price action
This indicator works best when:
- Used as part of a comprehensive trading system
- Combined with proper risk management
- Applied with an understanding of current market conditions
- Signals are confirmed by price action and other indicators
DISCLAIMER: This indicator and its signals are intended solely for educational and informational purposes. They do not constitute financial advice. Trading involves significant risk of loss. Always conduct your own analysis and consult with financial professionals before making trading decisions.
Holding Volume StrengthHolding Volume Strength Indicator
1. Overview :
The Holding Volume Strength indicator is designed to measure the buying and selling volume based on price action (bullish vs. bearish candles) over a user-defined lookback period. This indicator helps traders gauge the strength of market participants' involvement (buyers vs. sellers) during a specific time frame.
2. Key Inputs :
- Lookback Period : The period over which you want to calculate the Buy and Sell volumes. For example, a lookback of 5 will calculate the volume for the current candle and the previous candle , while a lookback of 10 will consider the current candle and the 9 preceding candles.
- Text Color : This allows customization of the label's text color for better visibility and style.
3. Volume Calculation :
- Buy Volume : If the close price of a candle is greater than its open price (bullish candle), the body size (difference between open and close) is multiplied by the volume for that candle to calculate the buy volume. This represents the market's buying strength.
- Sell Volume : If the close price of a candle is less than its open price (bearish candle), the body size is multiplied by the volume for that candle to calculate the sell volume. This represents the market's selling strength.
4. Volume Display :
The Buy and Sell Volumes are displayed in a readable format, such as:
- Buy Volume: "1.5M" (1.5 million)
- Sell Volume: "500K" (500 thousand)
These values can help identify whether buying or selling is more dominant over a specified period.
5. Label Display :
The calculated Buy and Sell volumes are shown as labels on the main price chart (overlay). These labels dynamically update with each new candle and show the values for the current candle and the previous `n` candles (based on the lookback period).
---
How This Indicator Helps in Making Buy/Sell Decisions :
1. Volume Analysis :
- High Buy Volume : A significant amount of buying volume can indicate strong market interest in the asset, suggesting potential upward momentum. If the market is in a bullish trend (e.g., after a series of green candles), and you see increasing buy volume, this might indicate that buyers are in control , making it a potential signal to buy .
- High Sell Volume : On the other hand, a significant amount of selling volume, particularly after a series of bullish candles, can signal that sellers are taking control of the market, which could indicate bearish pressure . If you observe increasing sell volume, it might be a potential signal to sell or to short the asset.
2. Volume Confirmation :
- Volume is often used to confirm price movements . For example, if the price breaks above a resistance level with strong buy volume , it suggests that the breakout is likely genuine and not a false move. Similarly, if the price drops below a support level with strong sell volume , it could signal that the breakout is real and the downtrend is continuing.
3. Divergence Analysis :
- Volume divergence occurs when price makes a new high or low but volume doesn't confirm it. For instance:
- If price makes a new high but the buy volume does not increase (or even decreases), it could signal a weak trend or potential reversal.
- Similarly, if price makes a new low but sell volume is weak, it might suggest the downtrend is losing steam and could reverse.
4. Buy/Sell Signal Strategy :
- Buy Signal : A potential buy signal might occur when you see a bullish candle with increased buy volume (especially if the buy volume is higher than the sell volume) during an uptrend or near a support level.
- Sell Signal : A potential sell signal might occur when you see a bearish candle with increased sell volume (especially if the sell volume is higher than the buy volume) during a downtrend or near a resistance level.
You could also combine this with other technical indicators (like Moving Averages, RSI, etc.) to form a more robust trading strategy.
---
Example of How It Works in Practice :
- Scenario 1 (Bullish) :
- You're trading a stock or cryptocurrency, and you have the Holding Volume Strength indicator plotted.
- Over the past 10 candles, you notice a bullish trend where the price is rising.
- On the current candle, you see a strong buy volume value, indicating that buyers are in control .
- Given that the buy volume is higher than the sell volume , this might reinforce the bullish trend , and you could consider buying or entering a long position .
- Scenario 2 (Bearish) :
- You're analyzing the same asset, but this time, the price is in a downtrend .
- You notice that a recent bearish candle has a strong sell volume , suggesting sellers are dominating .
- If this sell volume is higher than the buy volume, it could indicate that the downtrend is likely to continue , and you might consider selling or entering a short position .
---
Why Volume Matters :
- Volume precedes price : Volume is often considered a leading indicator, as changes in volume can signal future price movements . For example, a sudden increase in buy volume often precedes upward price movement, while a sudden increase in sell volume often precedes downward price movement.
- Volume confirms trends : Volume helps confirm trends. A price move accompanied by high volume is typically more reliable , while a price move with low volume might be a false signal or less likely to sustain itself.
---
Conclusion :
The Holding Volume Strength indicator helps traders understand the market sentiment (buyers vs. sellers) by showing the cumulative buying and selling volume over a specified period. By examining the buy and sell volumes, traders can make more informed decisions about when to buy, sell, or hold based on market strength.
This volume analysis is essential because it allows traders to understand how strong the price movement is and whether it is likely to continue or reverse. By incorporating volume analysis with other indicators or chart patterns, traders can improve the accuracy of their trading signals and reduce risk.
Injected Volume Footprint (IVF)Reading volume footprints to interpret buying and selling pressure involves examining the intensity and timing of buy/sell activity within each candle. Although this IVF indicator does not directly show the sequence of buying and selling events within a single candle (as a true footprint chart would), here’s how you can interpret the volume data presented by IVF to get insights on market pressure:
Step 1: Identifying Strong Pressure
Check Color Intensity:
Darker shades represent higher intensity for both buy and sell volumes.
Look for dark green shades for strong buying pressure and dark red or orange shades for strong selling pressure. This helps you quickly spot candles with a high level of activity on one or both sides.
Check Volume Stacking:
Since buy volumes are above the zero line and sell volumes are below, large differences between the two suggest dominance by one side.
If buy volume is significantly higher (e.g., tall green bar with a small red/yellow bar underneath), buying pressure is dominant. Conversely, if sell volume is larger (tall red/yellow bar with a small green bar above), selling pressure dominates.
Step 2: Interpreting Both Buy and Sell Activity
Simultaneous Pressure:
If you see strong green (buy) and red/yellow (sell) volumes within the same candle, it indicates that there was active trading on both sides during that period.
This scenario might suggest a battle between buyers and sellers—often seen near critical support or resistance levels where both sides are actively defending their positions.
Balance vs. Imbalance:
Balanced Pressure: When buy and sell volumes are similar in size, it indicates a period of indecision or a potential consolidation. This usually happens when neither buyers nor sellers have a clear upper hand.
Imbalanced Pressure: If one side has a much larger volume than the other, it shows a clear dominance. For instance, if green buy volume dominates, it means buyers were willing to absorb sell orders aggressively, suggesting a possible uptrend.
Step 3: Estimating Sequence (Hypothetical)
Although IVF doesn’t provide a direct sequence, you can make educated guesses based on context:
Price Action Context:
If the candle opens and initially moves down but then closes higher (bullish candle), it might indicate that selling pressure came first and buying pressure followed, pushing the price up.
Conversely, if the candle opens and moves up first but closes lower (bearish candle), buying might have started first but was overtaken by selling pressure.
Volume Reaction to Price Levels:
At support levels, if you see strong buy volumes with some sell volumes, it might mean initial selling pressure was absorbed by buyers defending the level.
At resistance levels, if sell volume increases with some buy activity, it may indicate initial buying was met by aggressive selling, potentially reversing the price.
Trend Context:
In an uptrend, strong sell volume within an otherwise bullish candle may indicate profit-taking or the start of a pullback, as sellers try to cap further gains.
In a downtrend, strong buy volume in a bearish candle may indicate potential accumulation or buyers attempting to slow the decline, signaling a possible reversal if the trend weakens.
Conclusion
The IVF indicator doesn’t provide the exact sequence of events within each candle like true footprint data would, but by analyzing the intensity, balance, and context within the price action, you can get a reasonable sense of which side was more aggressive and how both buying and selling pressures interacted.
ICT Judas Swing | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Judas Swing Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Judas Swing" strategy. The strategy looks for a liquidity grab around NY 9:30 session and a Fair Value Gap for entry confirmation. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Judas Swing :
Implementation of ICT's Judas Swing Strategy
2 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The strategy begins by identifying the New York session from 9:30 to 9:45 and marking recent liquidity zones. These liquidity zones are determined by locating high and low pivot points: buyside liquidity zones are identified using high pivots that haven't been invalidated, while sellside liquidity zones are found using low pivots. A break of either buyside or sellside liquidity must occur during the 9:30-9:45 session, which is interpreted as a liquidity grab by smart money. The strategy assumes that after this liquidity grab, the price will reverse and move in the opposite direction. For entry confirmation, a fair value gap (FVG) in the opposite direction of the liquidity grab is required. A buyside liquidity grab calls for a bearish FVG, while a sellside grab requires a bullish FVG. Based on the type of FVG—bullish for buys and bearish for sells—the indicator will then generate a Buy or Sell signal.
After the Buy or Sell signal, the indicator immediately draws the take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) targets. The indicator has three different TP & SL modes, explained in the "Settings" section of this write-up.
You can set up alerts for entry and TP & SL signals, and also check the current performance of the indicator and adjust the settings accordingly to the current ticker using the backtesting dashboard.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Judas Swing concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. Three different TP / SL modes are available to suit your needs. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.

FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method ->
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
AlgoBuilder [Trend-Following] | FractalystWhat's the strategy's purpose and functionality?
This strategy is designed for both traders and investors looking to rely on and trade based on historical and backtested data using automation. The main goal is to build profitable trend-following strategies that outperform the underlying asset in terms of returns while minimizing drawdown. For example, as for a benchmark, if the S&P 500 (SPX) has achieved an estimated 10% annual return with a maximum drawdown of -57% over the past 20 years, using this strategy with different entry and exit techniques, users can potentially seek ways to achieve a higher Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) while maintaining a lower maximum drawdown.
Although the strategy can be applied to all markets and timeframes, it is most effective on stocks, indices, future markets, cryptocurrencies, and commodities and JPY currency pairs given their trending behaviors.
In trending market conditions, the strategy employs a combination of moving averages and diverse entry models to identify and capitalize on upward market movements. It integrates market structure-based trailing stop-loss mechanisms across different timeframes and provides exit techniques, including percentage-based and risk-reward (RR) based take profit levels.
Additionally, the strategy has also a feature that includes a built-in probability and sentiment function for traders who want to implement probabilities and market sentiment right into their trading strategies.
Performance summary, weekly, and monthly tables enable quick visualization of performance metrics like net profit, maximum drawdown, compound annual growth rate (CAGR), profit factor, average trade, average risk-reward ratio (RR), and more. This aids optimization to meet specific goals and risk tolerance levels effectively.
-----
How does the strategy perform for both investors and traders?
The strategy has two main modes, tailored for different market participants: Traders and Investors.
Trading:
1. Trading (1x):
- Designed for traders looking to capitalize on bullish trending markets.
- Utilizes a percentage risk per trade to manage risk and optimize returns.
- Suitable for active trading with a focus on trend-following and risk management.
- (1x) This mode ensures no stacking of positions, allowing for only one running position or trade at a time.
◓: Mode | %: Risk percentage per trade
2. Trading (2x):
Similar to the 1x mode but allows for two pyramiding entries.
This approach enables traders to increase their position size as the trade moves in their favor, potentially enhancing profits during strong bullish trends.
◓: Mode | %: Risk percentage per trade
3. Investing:
- Geared towards investors who aim to capitalize on bullish trending markets without using leverage while mitigating the asset's maximum drawdown.
- Utilizes 100% of the equity to buy, hold, and manage the asset.
- Focuses on long-term growth and capital appreciation by fully investing in the asset during bullish conditions.
- ◓: Mode | %: Risk not applied (In investing mode, the strategy uses 100% of equity to buy the asset)

What's the purpose of using moving averages in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Using moving averages is a widely-used technique to trade with the trend.
The main purpose of using moving averages in this strategy is to filter out bearish price action and to only take trades when the price is trading ABOVE specified moving averages.
The script uses different types of moving averages with user-adjustable timeframes and periods/lengths, allowing traders to try out different variations to maximize strategy performance and minimize drawdowns.
By applying these calculations, the strategy effectively identifies bullish trends and avoids market conditions that are not conducive to profitable trades.
The MA filter allows traders to choose whether they want a specific moving average above or below another one as their entry condition.
This comparison filter can be turned on (>/<) or off.
For example, you can set the filter so that MA#1 > MA#2, meaning the first moving average must be above the second one before the script looks for entry conditions. This adds an extra layer of trend confirmation, ensuring that trades are only taken in more favorable market conditions.
MA #1: Fast MA | MA #2: Medium MA | MA #3: Slow MA
⍺: MA Period | Σ: MA Timeframe
-----
What entry modes are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
The strategy by default uses two different techniques for the entry criteria with user-adjustable left and right bars: Breakout and Fractal.
1. Breakout Entries :
- The strategy looks for pivot high points with a default period of 3.
- It stores the most recent high level in a variable.
- When the price crosses above this most recent level, the strategy checks if all conditions are met and the bar is closed before taking the buy entry.
◧: Pivot high left bars period | ◨: Pivot high right bars period
2. Fractal Entries :
- The strategy looks for pivot low points with a default period of 3.
- When a pivot low is detected, the strategy checks if all conditions are met and the bar is closed before taking the buy entry.
◧: Pivot low left bars period | ◨: Pivot low right bars period
By utilizing these entry modes, the strategy aims to capitalize on bullish price movements while ensuring that the necessary conditions are met to validate the entry points.
-----
What type of stop-loss identification method are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Initial Stop-Loss:
1. ATR Based:
The Average True Range (ATR) is a method used in technical analysis to measure volatility. It is not used to indicate the direction of price but to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ATR, the True Range (TR) first needs to be identified. The TR takes into account the most current period high/low range as well as the previous period close.
The True Range is the largest of the following:
- Current Period High minus Current Period Low
- Absolute Value of Current Period High minus Previous Period Close
- Absolute Value of Current Period Low minus Previous Period Close
- The ATR is then calculated as the moving average of the TR over a specified period. (The default period is 14).
Example - ATR (14) * 1.5
⍺: ATR period | Σ: ATR Multiplier
2. ADR Based:
The Average Day Range (ADR) is an indicator that measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ADR for a particular day:
- Calculate the average of the high prices over a specified number of days.
- Calculate the average of the low prices over the same number of days.
- Find the difference between these average values.
- The default period for calculating the ADR is 14 days. A shorter period may introduce more noise, while a longer period may be slower to react to new market movements.
Example - ADR (14) * 1.5
⍺: ADR period | Σ: ADR Multiplier
Application in Strategy:
- The strategy calculates the current bar's ADR/ATR with a user-defined period.
- It then multiplies the ADR/ATR by a user-defined multiplier to determine the initial stop-loss level.
By using these methods, the strategy dynamically adjusts the initial stop-loss based on market volatility, helping to protect against adverse price movements while allowing for enough room for trades to develop.
Trailing Stop-Loss:
One of the key elements of this strategy is its ability to detec buyside and sellside liquidity levels across multiple timeframes to trail the stop-loss once the trade is in running profits.
By utilizing this approach, the strategy allows enough room for price to run.
There are two built-in trailing stop-loss (SL) options you can choose from while in a trade:
1. External Trailing Stop-Loss:
- Uses sell-side liquidity to trail your stop-loss, allowing price to consolidate before continuation. This method is less aggressive and provides more room for price fluctuations.
Example - External - Wick below the trailing SL - 12H trailing timeframe
⍺: Exit type | Σ: Trailing stop-loss timeframe
2. Internal Trailing Stop-Loss:
- Uses the most recent swing low with a period of 2 to trail your stop-loss. This method is more aggressive compared to the external trailing stop-loss, as it tightens the stop-loss closer to the current price action.
Example - Internal - Close below the trailing SL - 6H trailing timeframe
⍺: Exit type | Σ: Trailing stop-loss timeframe
Each market behaves differently across various timeframes, and it is essential to test different parameters and optimizations to find out which trailing stop-loss method gives you the desired results and performance.
-----
What type of break-even and take profit identification methods are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
For Break-Even:
- You can choose to set a break-even level at which your initial stop-loss moves to the entry price as soon as it hits, and your trailing stop-loss gets activated (if enabled).
- You can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based break-even, allowing you to set your break-even level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
For TP1 (Take Profit 1):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed or 50% if the TP2 boolean is enabled.
- Similar to break-even, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP1 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
For TP2 (Take Profit 2):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed.
- As with break-even and TP1, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP2 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
The underlying calculations involve determining the price levels at which these actions are triggered. For break-even, it moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price and activate the trailing stop-loss once the break-even level is reached.
For TP1 and TP2, it's specifying the price levels at which the position is partially or fully closed based on the chosen method (percentage or RR) above the entry price.
These calculations are crucial for managing risk and optimizing profitability in the strategy.
⍺: BE/TP type (%/RR) | Σ: how many RR/% above the current price
-----
What's the ADR filter? What does it do? What are the underlying calculations?
The Average Day Range (ADR) measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
The period of the ADR filter used in this strategy is tied to the same period you've used for your initial stop-loss.
Users can define the minimum ADR they want to be met before the script looks for entry conditions.
ADR Bias Filter:
- Compares the current bar ADR with the ADR (Defined by user):
- If the current ADR is higher, it indicates that volatility has increased compared to ADR (DbU).(⬆)
- If the current ADR is lower, it indicates that volatility has decreased compared to ADR (DbU).(⬇)
Calculations:
1. Calculate ADR:
- Average the high prices over the specified period.
- Average the low prices over the same period.
- Find the difference between these average values in %.
2. Current ADR vs. ADR (DbU):
- Calculate the ADR for the current bar.
- Calculate the ADR (DbU).
- Compare the two values to determine if volatility has increased or decreased.
By using the ADR filter, the strategy ensures that trades are only taken in favorable market conditions where volatility meets the user's defined threshold, thus optimizing entry conditions and potentially improving the overall performance of the strategy.
>: Minimum required ADR for entry | %: Current ADR comparison to ADR of 14 days ago.
-----
What's the probability filter? What are the underlying calculations?
The probability filter is designed to enhance trade entries by using buyside liquidity and probability analysis to filter out unfavorable conditions.
This filter helps in identifying optimal entry points where the likelihood of a profitable trade is higher.
Calculations:
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Equilibrium levels.
3. Understanding probability calculations
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into equilibrium or the 50% level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once equilibrium is tapped into, the equilibrium status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
5. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
Example - BSL > 50%
-----
What's the sentiment Filter? What are the underlying calculations?
Sentiment filter aims to calculate the percentage level of bullish or bearish fluctuations within equally divided price sections, in the latest price range.
Calculations:
This filter calculates the current sentiment by identifying the highest swing high and the lowest swing low, then evenly dividing the distance between them into percentage amounts. If the price is above the 50% mark, it indicates bullishness, whereas if it's below 50%, it suggests bearishness.
Sentiment Bias Identification:
Bullish Bias: The current price is trading above the 50% daily range.
Bearish Bias: The current price is trading below the 50% daily range.
Example - Sentiment Enabled | Bullish degree above 50% | Bullish sentimental bias
>: Minimum required sentiment for entry | %: Current sentimental degree in a (Bullish/Bearish) sentimental bias
-----
What's the range length Filter? What are the underlying calculations?
The range length filter identifies the price distance between buyside and sellside liquidity levels in percentage terms. When enabled, the script only looks for entries when the minimum range length is met. This helps ensure that trades are taken in markets with sufficient price movement.
Calculations:
Range Length (%) = ( ( Buyside Level − Sellside Level ) / Current Price ) ×100
Range Bias Identification:
Bullish Bias: The current range price has broken above the previous external swing high.
Bearish Bias: The current range price has broken below the previous external swing low.
Example - Range length filter is enabled | Range must be above 5% | Price must be in a bearish range
>: Minimum required range length for entry | %: Current range length percentage in a (Bullish/Bearish) range
-----
What's the day filter Filter, what does it do?
The day filter allows users to customize the session time and choose the specific days they want to include in the strategy session. This helps traders tailor their strategies to particular trading sessions or days of the week when they believe the market conditions are more favorable for their trading style.
Customize Session Time:
Users can define the start and end times for the trading session.
This allows the strategy to only consider trades within the specified time window, focusing on periods of higher market activity or preferred trading hours.
Select Days:
Users can select which days of the week to include in the strategy.
This feature is useful for excluding days with historically lower volatility or unfavorable trading conditions (e.g., Mondays or Fridays).
Benefits:
Focus on Optimal Trading Periods:
By customizing session times and days, traders can focus on periods when the market is more likely to present profitable opportunities.
Avoid Unfavorable Conditions:
Excluding specific days or times can help avoid trading during periods of low liquidity or high unpredictability, such as major news events or holidays.
Increased Flexibility: The filter provides increased flexibility, allowing traders to adapt the strategy to their specific needs and preferences.
Example - Day filter | Session Filter
θ: Session time | Exchange time-zone

What tables are available in this script?
Table Type:
- Summary: Provides a general overview, displaying key performance parameters such as Net Profit, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Average Trade, Closed Trades, Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), MAR and more.
CAGR: It calculates the 'Compound Annual Growth Rate' first and last taken trades on your chart. The CAGR is a notional, annualized growth rate that assumes all profits are reinvested. It only takes into account the prices of the two end points — not drawdowns, so it does not calculate risk. It can be used as a yardstick to compare the performance of two strategies. Since it annualizes values, it requires a minimum 4H timeframe to display the CAGR value. annualizing returns over smaller periods of times doesn't produce very meaningful figures.
MAR: Measure of return adjusted for risk: CAGR divided by Max Drawdown. Indicates how comfortable the system might be to trade. Higher than 0.5 is ideal, 1.0 and above is very good, and anything above 3.0 should be considered suspicious and you need to make sure the total number of trades are high enough by running a Deep Backtest in strategy tester. (available for TradingView Premium users.)
Avg Trade: The sum of money gained or lost by the average trade generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the Net Profit by the overall number of closed trades. An important value since it must be large enough to cover the commission and slippage costs of trading the strategy and still bring a profit.
MaxDD: Displays the largest drawdown of losses, i.e., the maximum possible loss that the strategy could have incurred among all of the trades it has made. This value is calculated separately for every bar that the strategy spends with an open position.
Profit Factor: The amount of money a trading strategy made for every unit of money it lost (in the selected currency). This value is calculated by dividing gross profits by gross losses.
Avg RR: This is calculated by dividing the average winning trade by the average losing trade. This field is not a very meaningful value by itself because it does not take into account the ratio of the number of winning vs losing trades, and strategies can have different approaches to profitability. A strategy may trade at every possibility in order to capture many small profits, yet have an average losing trade greater than the average winning trade. The higher this value is, the better, but it should be considered together with the percentage of winning trades and the net profit.
Winrate: The percentage of winning trades generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the number of winning trades by the total number of closed trades generated by a strategy. Percent profitable is not a very reliable measure by itself. A strategy could have many small winning trades, making the percent profitable high with a small average winning trade, or a few big winning trades accounting for a low percent profitable and a big average winning trade. Most trend-following successful strategies have a percent profitability of 15-40% but are profitable due to risk management control.
BE Trades: Number of break-even trades, excluding commission/slippage.
Losing Trades: The total number of losing trades generated by the strategy.
Winning Trades: The total number of winning trades generated by the strategy.
Total Trades: Total number of taken traders visible your charts.
Net Profit: The overall profit or loss (in the selected currency) achieved by the trading strategy in the test period. The value is the sum of all values from the Profit column (on the List of Trades tab), taking into account the sign.
- Monthly: Displays performance data on a month-by-month basis, allowing users to analyze performance trends over each month.
- Weekly: Displays performance data on a week-by-week basis, helping users to understand weekly performance variations.
- OFF: Hides the performance table.
Labels:
- OFF: Hides labels in the performance table.
- PnL: Shows the profit and loss of each trade individually, providing detailed insights into the performance of each trade.
- Range: Shows the range length and Average Day Range (ADR), offering additional context about market conditions during each trade.
Profit Color:
- Allows users to set the color for representing profit in the performance table, helping to quickly distinguish profitable periods.
Loss Color:
- Allows users to set the color for representing loss in the performance table, helping to quickly identify loss-making periods.
These customizable tables provide traders with flexible and detailed performance analysis, aiding in better strategy evaluation and optimization.

[FXAN] 75 Cygni Algorithm (Day Trading)⚜️ FXAN CYGNI INDICATORS ORIGINALITY
Originality comes from proprietary formula we use to measure the relationship between Volume and Price Volatility in relation to overall current market positioning in developing Volume Profile and multiple custom period Volume Profiles. We combine that with our own approach to measure price velocity in correlation to average daily/weekly/monthly ranges of the given market.
The relationship between current volume and price volatility gives us information about how much the volume that is currently coming into the market affects the price movement (volatility) and which side is more dominant/involved in the market (Buyers/Sellers). We call this the " Volume Impact " factor.
This information is then compared in relation to overall current market positioning in developing Volume Profile and Multiple custom period Volume Profiles. We have created a rating system based on current price positioning in relation to the Volume Profile. Volume profile consists of different volume nodes, high volume nodes where we consider market interest to be high (a lot of transactions - High Volume) and low volume nodes where we consider market interest to be low (not a lot of transactions - Low Volume). We call this the current " Market Interest " factor.
We combine this information with our own approach to measure price velocity in correlation to the higher-timeframe price ranges. Calculation is done by measuring current ranges of market movement in correlation to average daily/weekly/monthly ranges. We call this " Price Velocity " factor.
This approach was applied to develop key components of our Tradingview Indicators, we've simplified some of the calculations and made them easy to use by programming them to display buying/selling volume pressure with colors.
In addition to our own proprietary formulas and criterias to measure volume impact on price, we've also used an array of indicators that measure the percentage change in volume over custom specified periods of time, including custom period ranged Volume Profile, Developing VA, Accumulation/Distribution (A/D Line), Volume Rate of Change (VROC), Volume Price Trend (VPT) - all of them with of course fine-tuned settings to fit the purpose in the overall calculation.
Reasons for multiple indicator use:
Custom period ranged Volume Profiles: To determine current interest of market participants. Used for " Market Interest "
Developing VA: To determine current fair price of the market (value area). Used for " Market Interest ".
Accumulation/Distribution (A/D Line): Helping to gauge the strength of buying and selling pressure. Used for " Volume Impact "
Volume Rate of Change (VROC): To give us information about percentage change in volume. Used for " Volume Impact "
Volume Price Trend (VPT): To help identify potential trends. Used for " Volume Impact ".
Average True Range (ATR): Used for measuring volatility. Used for " Volume Impact " and " Price Velocity" .
Average Daily Range (ADR): Used for measuring average market price movement. Used for " Price Velocity ".
How it all works together:
"Volume Impact" factor tells us the influence of incoming market volume on price movement. This information alongside the overall market positioning information derived from "Market Interest" factor combined with information about speed and direction relative to higher-timeframe price ranges frin "Price Velocity.
This is the basis of our proprietary developed Volume Dynamics analysis approach
"Volume Impact" x "Market Interest" x "Price Velocity"
Combining this factors together gives a good overall understanding of which side is currently more involved in the market to gauge the direction ("Volume Impact"), where the market is currently positioned to gauge the context ("Market Interest") and what the current market's momentum to improve the timing of our trades ("Price Velocity"). This increases our probabilities for successful trades, executed with good timing.
To simplify - our indicators will always analyze the volume behind every price movement and rate those movements based on the relationship between movement distance and volume behind it through an array of criterias and rate them.
Colors displayed by the indicators will be a result of that, suggesting which side of the market (Buyers or sellers) is currently more involved in the market, aiming to increase the probabilities for profitable trades. With the help of our indicators you have deep volume analysis behind price movements done without looking at anything else then indicator components.
🔷 OVERVIEW
Cygni 75 Algorithm is a TradingView indicator crafted to refine your market analysis and assist in identifying potential entry and exit points by analyzing the underlying volume behind market movements. It helps you determine the overall daily context of the market and its conditions/trends by offering a suite of features tailored to provide insights to traders across various market conditions.
🔷 KEY FEATURES
▊ Candle Coloring
▊ Deviation Bands
▊ Momentum Bar | on the bottom of the chart
▊ Area of Interest (AOI) | Yellow rectangle
🔷 HOW DOES IT WORK?
□ Candles will color in reference to the dominance of buyers or sellers based on underlying volume calculated by a proprietary formula. The green color indicates that buyers are in control, and the red color indicates the selling volume is dominating the market. To simplify, green means there's more buying - red means there's more selling.
□ Deviation bands are used to determine potential trade entries and exits, derived by average price weighted by volume.
□ Momentum Bar shows market momentum by analyzing the differences between multiple moving averages. Green is bullish; red is bearish. The colors will lighten up when momentum is strong, and once the market slows down, they will get darker.
□ Area of Interest (AOI) is used for contextual reference, derived from the previous day's market movements. They remain static throughout the current day.
🔷 HOW TO USE IT?
□ In general, we look for areas where all components are in sync. This are valid trading signals (refer to the usage example below).
□ Candle Colors: Looking for longs when the candles are green, and looking for shorts when the colors are red
□ Deviation Bands: Once we enter the trade, we can place the SL and TP levels at the closest bands.
□ Momentum Bar: Helps with the timing of the entry, looking to enter on light Green/Red colors. Longs when green and shorts when red.
□ Area Of Interest: Generally, we're expecting rotational conditions inside the area and breakouts above/below once the market price gets outside of it. Longs above the area and shorts below the area for breakouts.
🔷 COMBINING THE COMPONENTS
Each component of the indicator serves it's own purpose and analyzes the market from it's own perspective and with its own custom settings and formulas (one looks at trading direction from the perspective of the overall trend and the other looks at price volatility to measure momentum - different perspectives). The calculation of the individual component is done independently from other components. Once all of them align we're able to execute trades with edge as it signals that different aspects of volume and price analysis line up for the trading opportinity.
- Candle Colors are used for determining trading direction
- Deviation bands are used for determining TP/SL levels
- Momentum bar is used to for better timing of your entries/exits.
- AOI is used to help you determine potential market conditions
It's important to combine the components to increase the probability of success - here's how you should look for a trade:
1. Determine the direction you want to trade in with the help of Candle Colors
2. Assess the current market price in reference to AOI - look for longs if the price is above the AOI, shorts if the price is below AOI, and rotations if it's inside the AOI.
3. Wait for the right momentum to develop to improve the timing of the entry by using Momentum Bar.
4. Place TP/SL levels with the help of Deviation bands based on your risk appetite.
A valid example of the trade would be:
- Green Candle Colors (indicating longs)
- Market price is currently above the AOI or breaking the edge of AOI in the upside movement (indicating longs)
- Momentum Bar is Green (indicating long momentum)
- Placing SL to the closest Deviation Band below the price and TP to the closest Deviation Band above the price.
📊 USAGE EXAMPLES
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity [Real-Time] (Expo)█ Overview
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity (Expo) is an indicator that identifies buy-side and sell-side liquidity in real time. Buy-side liquidity represents a level on the chart where short sellers will have their stops positioned. Sell-side liquidity represents a level on the chart where long-buyers will place their stops. These levels are found in areas where traders are "proven wrong" and, therefore, want to get out of their trades. Smart money will accumulate or distribute positions near these levels where many stops are placed and absorb all provided liquidity.
█ What is Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity?
Liquidity is the ability of a market to absorb large orders without significantly affecting the asset's price. Buy-side liquidity refers to the ability of buyers to buy large amounts of contracts without significantly affecting the price. Sell-side liquidity refers to the ability of sellers to sell large amounts of contracts without significantly affecting the price. This type of liquidity is important for large institutional investors, such as hedge funds and investment banks, who need to buy/sell large amounts of contracts without significantly affecting the price.
█ How to use
The price will always seek liquidity to either reverse or continue in the current move.
Reversals
Reversals are common around these levels since many traders are forced to close their positions, pushing the price in the other direction. Look for price actions that confirm a reversal around those levels.
Continuations
Liquidity is also a must for a trend to continue. If the price pushes through the liquidity levels and the current order flow structure is intact, traders should look for a continuation setup.
Inducement
Inducement is the act where smart money manipulates the price to access liquidity. Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity levels can be used to identify potential areas of inducement.

Cloud X MesoHello there fellow Traders!
Thanks for stopping by, so today I will be covering everything you need to to know about this TradingView strategy.
Below I will discuss everything you need to know about this strategy so you can get a full grasp of what the strategy is, the features, what it does, how it works, the benefits of how this strategy can help you, and the results.
What is Cloud X Meso?
-Cloud X Meso is a strategy that consists of 7 indicators to all line up for total confluence to take a buy or sell once all 6 indicators conditions are met. This strategy does not repaint and doesn't require any technical analysis to be used. The strategy can be used on any timeframe, and any instrument.
-I have optimized many different variations for different types of trading instruments of this strategy ready to be used. The difference of this strategy is that these variations do not need any reoptimization to keep up with recent market conditions since there are hardly any inputs used, which prevents common overfitting problems. The main goal was for this strategy to be automated, as well as plug and play or you can officially consider this as set and forever forget.
What does this strategy do?
-The main goal for this strategy is to catch long or short term trends by waiting for all 7 indicators to line up as well as using customized trading times to trade certain sessions where there is high amounts of volume in the market. This strategy doesn't always need to have a clear trending market, since it can also catch short term trends in choppy markets as well. Overall, the strategy tell you when it buys, sells, and exits after all conditions are met.
How does the strategy work?
-The way that this strategy works is when all of the indicators confluences are met. Next, a buy or sell label will print and the candles colors will color blue or red to show that the trade is in the buy or sell position followed along with a magenta colored line which is the trailing stop to follow the trade until the trade exits from the trailing stop being hit or if the strategies exit condition is met.
-The strategy does have a set Take Profit target since it relies on the trailing stop to end the trade. This is beneficial so you can catch any size of a trend move when the strategy is in high volume market sessions. You catch these trends by customizing the settings to toggle on or off certain indicators, functions, configuring a customized trading time, and toggling on or off certain trading days to make a specific approach for fine tuning a pair to trade in a certain time window with high amounts of volume to catch trending moves whether it be a long or short term trend.
Below I will explain each functionality of the strategy for you to better understand the different ways you can adjust the settings of this strategy.
Backtest Settings:
-You can use these settings to determine a start / end date of what results you would like to see in the strategy tester.
-You can determine the $ amount you would like to see on strategy testers results to be in terms of net profit and max drawdown.
-You can choose whether you want the strategy to take buys only, sells only, or buys and sells.
Automation:
-Compatible with Pine Connectors to fully automate this strategy for MT4/5
-It uses a % based risk when placing trades so you won't have to calculate a proper lot size or dollar amount.
-You can also put the symbol of what that strategy will be trading on so you know what pair its trading.
Custom Trading Times:
-When you customize a trading time for the strategy to trade in, the background will turn blue for that specific time window, and you can use the "Session Exit" function to have trades close once the time window ends when toggled on, or you can have the existing trades close on their own when "Session Exit" is toggled off.
Dynamic Trailing:
-The algorithm uses a volatility based indicator to determine proper stop loss placement depending on how volatile the market is. This will prevent you from guesstimating if your stop loss is too big or too small.
-When Dynamic trailing is off, then the strategy will use a Risk Reward based stop loss to trail everytime the trades hits a new Risk Reward target.
-You can also toggle on or off for the stop loss to go to break even once the trade hits a 1:1 Risk Reward.
Directional Bias Settings:
-This indicator is the main directional bias that uses a multi timeframe function to determine the directional bias, you can also use the Exponential Moving Average as a form of directional bias instead, or you can use both of them to work together to find the directional bias. You can also toggle each one on or off
Entry / Exit Settings:
-This indicator also uses a multi timeframe function but it determines the entry and exit for a trade when all confluences are met. You can also toggle the entry and exit functions on or off.
1 Candle Rule:
-This feature is inspired by No Nonsense Forex (NNFX) the main function of this is if your entry doesn't meet all the entry conditions, then the strategy will wait 1 more candle to meet all the entry conditions to take a trade.
No Trade Zone:
-This feature will uses a Volume based indicator to filter out low volume markets. The candles will turn grey to indicate the algorithm not to take trades, and you can also customize the sensitivity of how strong this indicator will filter out the low volume in the markets.
Indicator functions
Each indicator plays a certain role and also meets certain conditions when a buy or sell trade is placed. I will reveal 3 out of 7 of the indicators used to preserve the uniqueness of this strategy but overall, the logic of this strategies main goal is to ride long or short terms trends while getting dynamic Risk Reward trades.
-The first indicator that the strategy uses an Exponential Moving Average that is customizable, and is used as a form of a filter for either a long or short term directional bias to filter out false signals to help the algorithm trade with the trend.
-The second indicator that the strategy uses is an Oscillator which is the Wavetrend and this indicators functionality for the algorithm is used for the its buy and sell signals to line up with all the other indicators for confluence. This indicator can also be toggled on or off for you own preference
-The third indicator used is the Volume indicator, and this is used to give the other indicators the green light to enter a trade if there are high amounts of volume in the market.
What are the benefits of using this algorithm?
Stress Free Trading:
-Once automated, you will no longer need to stare at the charts all day, as well as trying to execute the trades on time or worried that you missed a setup. Or you can choose to take trades manually when a buy or sell signal comes up
Stress Free Risk Management:
-All you have to do is provide a risk % and the algorithm will do the rest of the work calculating the stop loss, exiting trades, etc. No more needing to find the right lot size, or dollar amount, all in all the strategy will manage the trades for you.
Psychology:
-when you choose to have a systematic trading approach, it eliminates a lot bad habits from human nature
What are the results like?
-I have multiple different variations of results of this strategy, but I will share one of the results.
Here is a screenshot below of what this strategy can do from just one of the variations.
The backtest below was done with another variation on simulating a 100k account risking 0.50% per trade.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this whole guide, and I hope this helped you better understand the strategy.
