Intra_Candle_Welding by Chaitu50cIntra Candle Welding by Chaitu50c
This is a professional price action–based indicator designed to automatically detect and visualize *intra-candle reversal zones* using simple yet powerful logic. It highlights price levels where two consecutive opposite candles meet with a high probability of short-term market reaction.
Concept
The indicator identifies potential intraday support and resistance levels based on the "Intra Candle Welding" concept: when the close of one candle is very close to the open of the next candle, and the two candles have opposite directions (bullish followed by bearish, or bearish followed by bullish). These levels often attract market attention due to order flow imbalance created during such transitions.
How It Works
1. The indicator continuously monitors each new candle and checks if the current open is approximately equal to the previous close, within a configurable buffer.
2. It further ensures that the two candles form an opposite pair (green→red or red→green).
3. When a valid pair is detected, the indicator checks for existing active lines near this level. If no active line exists within the defined tolerance, it draws a new horizontal line at the detected level.
4. Each line is classified as either a potential resistance (from green→red pair) or support (from red→green pair).
5. Lines automatically extend rightward and update with each bar. If price breaks through the line beyond a configurable break buffer, the line stops extending and is visually marked as "broken."
6. The indicator intelligently manages the maximum number of lines on the chart by deleting the oldest ones when the limit is exceeded.
Use Case
Traders can use this tool to identify short-term reaction zones and potential intraday turning points. The highlighted levels act as temporary support and resistance areas where price frequently reacts. It is especially useful in fast-moving or volatile markets such as index futures or liquid stocks.
Features
* Automatically detects intra-candle reversal zones.
* Classifies zones as support (bottom) or resistance (top).
* Automatically updates and breaks lines when invalidated by price action.
* Adjustable parameters for flexibility:
* Equality Buffer
* Max Lines to Keep
* Line Suppression Tolerance
* Initial Extend Bars
* Break Buffer
* Line colors, widths, and styles (active and broken states)
* Efficient memory handling with capped line count.
* Minimalist and clean visual representation, suitable for overlay on any chart.
Recommended Settings
* Works best on intraday timeframes (1 min to 15 min).
* Tune the Equality Buffer and Tolerance parameters based on instrument volatility.
* Use conservative Break Buffer to avoid premature line invalidation.

TradeQUO Herrick Payoff RSIHerrick Payoff Index RSI (HPI-RSI) with Signal Line
An advanced oscillator that measures market strength not just by price, but by "smart money flow."
This indicator is not a typical RSI. Instead of applying the Relative Strength Index to price alone, it calculates it on the cumulative Herrick Payoff Index (HPI) . This creates a unique oscillator that reflects the underlying sentiment and capital flow in the market.
What is the Herrick Payoff Index (HPI)?
The HPI is a classic sentiment indicator that combines three crucial elements to determine if money is flowing into or out of an asset:
Price Change: The direction and momentum of the market.
Trading Volume: The conviction behind the price movement.
Open Interest (OI): The total number of open contracts (mainly in futures), which indicates if new capital is entering the market.
By combining these factors, the HPI provides a more comprehensive picture of market strength than indicators based solely on price.
How This Indicator Works
The script follows a logical, multi-step process:
It calculates the raw Herrick Payoff Index for each bar.
It creates a cumulative sum of this index to generate a continuous money flow value.
This cumulative value is smoothed with a short-period EMA to reduce noise.
The RSI is then applied to this smoothed HPI value.
An additional, configurable signal line (moving average) is added to facilitate trading signals.
Interpretation and Application
You can use this indicator much like a standard RSI, but with the added context of money flow:
Overbought/Oversold: Values above 70 suggest an overbought condition, while values below 30 signal an oversold condition.
Signal Line Crossovers: A cross of the HPI-RSI line above the signal line can be seen as a bullish signal. A cross below can be seen as a bearish signal.
Divergences: Look for divergences between the indicator and the price. A bullish divergence (price makes a lower low, indicator makes a higher low) can indicate an upcoming move to the upside. A bearish divergence (price makes a higher high, indicator makes a lower high) can signal a potential move to the downside.
Settings
The indicator has been deliberately kept simple:
HPI Smoothing Length: Smoothing length (1-5) for the cumulative HPI.
RSI Length: The lookback period for the RSI calculation.
Signal Line Settings: Here you can enable/disable the signal line and customize its type and length.
Display Settings: Adjust the colors of the RSI and signal lines to your preference.
This indicator is a tool for analysis and should always be used in combination with other methods and a solid risk management strategy. Happy trading!
Open Interest-RSI + Funding + Fractal DivergencesIndicator — “Open Interest-RSI + Funding + Fractal Divergences”
A multi-factor oscillator that fuses Open-Interest RSI, real-time Funding-Rate data and price/OI fractal divergences.
It paints BUY/SELL arrows in its own pane and directly on the price chart, helping you spot spots where crowd positioning, leverage costs and price action contradict each other.
1 Purpose
OI-RSI – measures conviction behind position changes instead of price momentum.
Funding Rate – shows who pays to hold positions (longs → bull bias, shorts → bear bias).
Fractal Divergences – detects HH/LL in price that are not confirmed by OI-RSI.
Optional Funding filter – hides signals when funding is already extreme.
Together these elements highlight exhaustion points and potential mean-reversion trades.
2 Inputs
RSI / Divergence
RSI length – default 14.
High-OI level / Low-OI level – default 70 / 30.
Fractal period n – default 2 (swing width).
Fractals to compare – how many past swings to scan, default 3.
Max visible arrows – keeps last 50 BUY/SELL arrows for speed.
Funding Rate
mode – choose FR, Avg Premium, Premium Index, Avg Prem + PI or FR-candle.
Visual scale (×) – multiplies raw funding to fit 0-100 oscillator scale (default 10).
specify symbol – enable only if funding symbol differs from chart.
use lower tf – averages 1-min premiums for smoother intraday view.
show table – tiny two-row widget at chart edge.
Signal Filter
Use Funding filter – ON hides long signals when funding > Buy-threshold and short signals when funding < Sell-threshold.
BUY threshold (%) – default 0.00 (raw %).
SELL threshold (%) – default 0.00 (raw %).
(Enter funding thresholds as raw percentages, e.g. 0.01 = +0.01 %).
3 Visual Outputs
Sub-pane
Aqua OI-RSI curve with 70 / 50 / 30 reference lines.
Funding visualised according to selected mode (green above 0, red below 0, or other).
BUY / SELL arrows at oscillator extremes.
Price chart
Identical BUY / SELL arrows plotted with force_overlay = true above/below candles that formed qualifying fractals.
Optional table
Shows current asset ticker and latest funding value of the chosen mode.
4 Signal Logic (Summary)
Load _OI series and compute RSI.
Retrieve Funding-Rate + Premium Index (optionally from lower TF).
Find fractal swings (n bars left & right).
Check divergence:
Bearish – price HH + OI-RSI LH.
Bullish – price LL + OI-RSI HL.
If Funding-filter enabled, require funding < Buy-thr (long) or > Sell-thr (short).
Plot arrows and trigger two built-in alerts (Bearish OI-RSI divergence, Bullish OI-RSI divergence).
Signals are fixed once the fractal bar closes; they do not repaint afterwards.
5 How to Use
Attach to a liquid perpetual-futures chart (BTC, ETH, major Binance contracts).
If _OI or funding series is missing you’ll see an error.
Choose timeframe:
15 m – 4 h for intraday;
1 D+ for swing trades.
Lower TFs → more signals; raise Fractals to compare or use Funding filter to trim noise.
Trade checklist
Funding positive and rising → longs overcrowded.
Price makes higher high; OI-RSI makes lower high; Funding above Sell-threshold → consider short.
Reverse logic for longs.
Combine with trend filter (EMA ribbon, SuperTrend, etc.) so you fade only when price is stretched.
Automation – set TradingView alerts on the two alertconditions and send to webhooks/bots.
Performance tips
Keep Max visible arrows ≤ 50.
Disable lower-TF premium aggregation if script feels heavy.
6 Limitations
Some symbols lack _OI or funding history → script stops with a console message.
Binance Premium Index begins mid-2020; older dates show na.
Divergences confirm only after n bars (no forward repaint).

Scalping Trend Power for MT5 - Updated### **Scalping Trend Power for MT5 – Full Technical Documentation**
> **Asset class:** FX · CFDs · Futures
> **Style:** Intraday trend-following / scalping
> **Script type:** Pine v5 *strategy* with optional PineConnector execution
> **Author:** AlgoSystems – released for educational & non-commercial use
> **Warning:** No script can guarantee profits; live results may differ from back-tests.
---
## 1. High-Level Idea
Scalping Trend Power couples a **fast/slow EMA crossover** with an **RSI exhaustion filter** to time impulsive pullbacks **inside a dominant short-term trend**.
Unlike classic MA cross systems, it waits for *N consecutive bars* of confirmation, then layers in **ATR-scaled risk, adaptive trailing stops, volume-aware stop tightening,** and *three* optional partial-profit targets.
An **upper-time-frame RSI check** acts as an early-warning exit to avoid overstaying.
---
## 2. Signal Stack in Detail
| Layer | Purpose | Formula / Condition |
| ----------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Trend Bias** | Detect micro-trend | `emaShort > emaLong` ⇒ bullish bias, else bearish |
| **Momentum Health** | Prevent chasing | *Long* trades allowed only if `RSI < RSI_OB`; *Short* only if `RSI > RSI_OS` |
| **Bar Confirmation** | Noise filter | Both rules must hold for `Confirmation Bars` candles in a row |
| **Entry Trigger** | Market order | The candle that completes the confirmation window |
| **Initial Stop** | Volatility sizing | `ATR × TrailingStopMultiplier`, then divided by `(volume / avgVolume × VolumeMultiplier)` |
| **Trailing Logic** | Lock profit | Max( pivot-based stop, ATR-base stop ) for longs; Min(..) for shorts |
| **Higher-TF RSI Guard** | Context exit | Flat if higher-TF RSI breaches OB/OS levels |
| **TP Grid (opt.)** | Incremental exits | TP1/TP2/TP3 at `ATR × {1.0, 1.5, 2.0}` (default multipliers) |
| **Trade Throttle** | Over-trading brake | Max `baseLongTrades – TradeDecreaseFactor` longs per trend leg |
| **Connector Hooks** | MT5 routing | All alerts follow PineConnector’s `risk=` (lots) syntax |
---
## 3. Inputs Explained
| Category | Parameter | Effect |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Sizing** | `Lot Size` · `Lot Multiplier` | Base lot × multiplier ⇒ *final* `risk=` lots |
| | `Risk/Reward Ratio` | Scales `dynamicTP = ATR × R/R` |
| | `Trailing-Stop Multiplier` | Wider ⇒ looser stop, lower ⇒ tighter |
| **Indicators** | `EMA Short / Long` | 9 & 21 default – suitable for 1-5 min TFs |
| | `RSI Length` | 14 by default |
| | `RSI OB / OS` | OB=70, OS=30 (lower = more entries; higher = stricter) |
| **Exit Context** | `Higher TF` | Any higher timeframe string (e.g. “30”, “60”) |
| | `Higher-TF RSI OB / OS` | Exits when breached |
| **Volume & Pivots** | `Volume Look-Back` | SMA length for avg volume |
| | `Volume Multiplier` | < 1.0 tightens SL in thin liquidity |
| | `Pivot Look-Back` | Bars left/right for swing pivots |
| **Partial Exit** | Toggle + TP multipliers + % lot splits | 0–3 targets; if disabled, single full exit |
| **Execution Limits** | `Confirmation Bars` | 1–n candles |
| | `Trade Decrease Factor` | Reduce # allowable longs as trend matures |
| **Connector** | Activate + License Code | Enables webhook output of orders |
All inputs are **tool-tipped** inside the script for quick reference.
---
## 4. Alert & PineConnector Workflow
1. **Add script to chart** → set inputs.
2. **Create an alert**
* *Condition*: **Any alert() call**
* *Webhook*: `https://webhook.pineconnector.com`
* *Message*: **leave blank** (script fills each alert).
3. In **MT5**, attach PineConnector EA to the **same symbol**; keep *VolumeType = Lots*.
4. Copy-paste your **License ID** into the script and tick **Activate PineConnector**.
5. Script now pushes:
* `buy` / `sell` with `risk=` (entries)
* `closelongvol` / `closeshortvol` with proportional lots (TP1-TP3)
* `closelong` / `closeshort` (full exit or stop)
> **Latency note:** Webhook round-trip ≈ 100-300 ms. Use on liquid 1-M, 5-M, 15-M charts; avoid sub-second scalps.
---
## 5. Best-Practice Checklist
| ✔︎ Do | ✘ Avoid |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Walk forward-test on *new* data, not in-sample optimisation. | Optimising every input – will over-fit. |
| Calibrate *only* money-management (lot multiplier / TP %) per account size. | Running with fixed lots on variable leverage accounts. |
| Increase ATR multipliers if trading high-spread pairs (exotics, crypto). | Using the same ATR factor across radically different symbols. |
| Re-check higher-TF filter values before volatile sessions (NFP, CPI). | Trading news spikes with confirmation bars = 1. |
| Keep **PineConnector EA** running 24/5 on a VPS (if auto-trading). | Expecting alerts to fire with TradingView tab closed. |
---
## 6. Limitations & Warnings
* Strategy **assumes constant spread** in back-test; real P/L will differ.
* Sub-minute charts may repaint pivots during live candles.
* Over-leveraged lot sizes can wipe accounts quickly – risk strictly!
* PineConnector routing is “fire-and-forget”; EA must handle slippage / rejects.

DeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector by Chaitu50cDeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector
by Chaitu50c
DeltaStrike is a simple and effective tool designed to help traders identify the most aggressive candles on the chart in real time. It works purely on price action and internal candle dynamics, with no reliance on lagging indicators.
The indicator combines delta (directional strength), candle range, and volume to compute an overall aggressiveness score for each candle. When this score exceeds a dynamic threshold based on recent market behavior, the candle is marked as an aggressive move.
Aggressive bullish candles are plotted as green diamonds below the candle, while aggressive bearish candles are plotted as red diamonds above the candle. The goal is to help traders visually spot moments of strong directional pressure, where potential trends or reversals may emerge.
The detection logic adapts automatically to changing market volatility and volume, making it suitable for all instruments and timeframes, including index futures, equities, and forex.
An integrated dashboard on the chart displays live readings of the key components contributing to each candle’s aggressiveness score: delta ratio, range ratio, and volume ratio. This helps traders understand the internal structure of each aggressive move.
Features:
Dynamic aggressiveness detection based on delta, range, and volume
Adaptive threshold for consistent behavior across timeframes and instruments
Clean chart output with clear diamond markers only on selected candles
Live dashboard with internal metrics for advanced analysis
Simple, lightweight, and optimized for intraday and swing trading
Works with any instrument: index, equity, forex, commodity
DeltaStrike is intended as an objective visual aid to help traders focus on genuine moments of strong market intent, filtering out ordinary or passive price movement. It can be used standalone or in combination with your existing trading strategy.
P&L Entry Zone Marker (clean)This indicator is a simple visual calculator for futures traders.
It helps you track your long and short entry zones based on position size and average price.
🔹 Green line – recalculated long entry after averaging down.
🔹 Red line – short entry point.
You can manually input your initial entry, volume, averaging volume, and averaging price.
The script calculates your new average entry for long positions and plots both lines as full horizontal levels across the chart.
✳️ Useful for:
Visualizing break-even zones
Planning P&L zones for hedged positions
Quickly aligning your trades with market structure
✅ Clean version — no labels, just lines.
📉 Works on all symbols and timeframes.

VWAP Supply & Demand Zones PRO**Overview:**
This script represents a major evolution of the original "VWAP Supply and Demand Zones" indicator. Initially created to explore price interaction with VWAP, it has now matured into a robust and feature-rich tool for identifying high-probability zones of institutional buying and selling pressure. The update introduces volume and momentum validation, dynamic zone management, alert logic, and a visual dashboard (HUD) — all designed for improved precision and clarity. The structural improvements, anti-repainting logic, and significant added utility warranted releasing this as a new script rather than a minor update.
---
### What It Does:
This indicator dynamically detects **supply and demand zones** using VWAP-based logic combined with **volume** and **momentum confirmation**. When price crosses VWAP with strength, it identifies the potential zone of excess demand (below VWAP) or supply (above VWAP), marking it visually with colored regions on the chart.
Each zone is extended for a user-defined duration, monitored for touch interactions (tests), and tracked for possible breaks. The script helps traders interpret price behavior around these institutional zones as either **reversal** opportunities or **continuation** confirmation depending on context and strategy preference.
---
### How It Works:
* **VWAP Basis**: Zones are anchored at VWAP at the time of a significant cross.
* **Volume & Momentum Filters**: Crosses are only considered valid if backed by above-average volume and notable price momentum.
* **Zone Drawing**: Validated supply and demand zones are drawn as boxes on the chart. Each is extended forward for a customizable number of bars.
* **Touch Counting**: Zones track the number of price touches. Alerts are issued after a user-defined number of tests.
* **Break Detection**: If price closes significantly beyond a zone boundary, the zone is marked as broken and visually dimmed.
* **Visual Dashboard (HUD)**: A compact real-time HUD displays VWAP value, active zone counts, and current market bias.
---
### How to Use It:
**Reversal Trading:**
* Look for price **rejecting** a zone after touching it.
* Use rejection candles or secondary indicators (e.g., RSI divergence) to confirm.
* These setups may offer low-risk entries when price respects the zone.
**Continuation Trading:**
* A **break of a zone** suggests strong directional bias.
* Use confirmed zone breaks to enter in the direction of momentum.
* Ideal in trending environments, especially with high volume and ATR movement.
---
### Key Inputs:
* **VWAP Length**: Moving VWAP period (default: 20)
* **Zone Width %**: Percentage size of zone buffer (default: 0.5%)
* **Min Touches**: How many times price must test a zone before alerts trigger
* **Zone Extension**: How far into the future zones are projected
* **Volume & ATR Filters**: Ensure only strong, valid crossovers create zones
---
### Alerts:
You can enable alerts for:
* **New zone creation**
* **Zone tests (after minimum touch count)**
* **Zone breaks**
* **VWAP crosses**
* **Active presence inside a zone (entry conditions)**
These alerts help automate market monitoring, making it suitable for discretionary or systematic workflows.
---
### Why It's a New Script:
This is not a cosmetic update. The internal logic, signal generation, filtering methodology, visual engine, and UX framework have been entirely rebuilt from the ground up. The result is a highly adaptive, precision-oriented tool — appropriate for intraday scalpers and swing traders alike. It goes far beyond the original in terms of functionality and reliability, justifying a fresh release.
---
### Suitable Markets and Timeframes:
* Works across all liquid markets (crypto, equities, futures, forex)
* Best used on timeframes where volume data is stable (5m and above recommended)
* Recalibrate inputs for optimal detection across instruments

Risk-Adjusted Momentum Oscillator# Risk-Adjusted Momentum Oscillator (RAMO): Momentum Analysis with Integrated Risk Assessment
## 1. Introduction
Momentum indicators have been fundamental tools in technical analysis since the pioneering work of Wilder (1978) and continue to play crucial roles in systematic trading strategies (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993). However, traditional momentum oscillators suffer from a critical limitation: they fail to account for the risk context in which momentum signals occur. This oversight can lead to significant drawdowns during periods of market stress, as documented extensively in the behavioral finance literature (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979; Shefrin & Statman, 1985).
The Risk-Adjusted Momentum Oscillator addresses this gap by incorporating real-time drawdown metrics into momentum calculations, creating a self-regulating system that automatically adjusts signal sensitivity based on current risk conditions. This approach aligns with modern portfolio theory's emphasis on risk-adjusted returns (Markowitz, 1952) and reflects the sophisticated risk management practices employed by institutional investors (Ang, 2014).
## 2. Theoretical Foundation
### 2.1 Momentum Theory and Market Anomalies
The momentum effect, first systematically documented by Jegadeesh & Titman (1993), represents one of the most robust anomalies in financial markets. Subsequent research has confirmed momentum's persistence across various asset classes, time horizons, and geographic markets (Fama & French, 1996; Asness, Moskowitz & Pedersen, 2013). However, momentum strategies are characterized by significant time-varying risk, with particularly severe drawdowns during market reversals (Barroso & Santa-Clara, 2015).
### 2.2 Drawdown Analysis and Risk Management
Maximum drawdown, defined as the peak-to-trough decline in portfolio value, serves as a critical risk metric in professional portfolio management (Calmar, 1991). Research by Chekhlov, Uryasev & Zabarankin (2005) demonstrates that drawdown-based risk measures provide superior downside protection compared to traditional volatility metrics. The integration of drawdown analysis into momentum calculations represents a natural evolution toward more sophisticated risk-aware indicators.
### 2.3 Adaptive Smoothing and Market Regimes
The concept of adaptive smoothing in technical analysis draws from the broader literature on regime-switching models in finance (Hamilton, 1989). Perry Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (1995) pioneered the application of efficiency ratios to adjust indicator responsiveness based on market conditions. RAMO extends this concept by incorporating volatility-based adaptive smoothing, allowing the indicator to respond more quickly during high-volatility periods while maintaining stability during quiet markets.
## 3. Methodology
### 3.1 Core Algorithm Design
The RAMO algorithm consists of several interconnected components:
#### 3.1.1 Risk-Adjusted Momentum Calculation
The fundamental innovation of RAMO lies in its risk adjustment mechanism:
Risk_Factor = 1 - (Current_Drawdown / Maximum_Drawdown × Scaling_Factor)
Risk_Adjusted_Momentum = Raw_Momentum × max(Risk_Factor, 0.05)
This formulation ensures that momentum signals are dampened during periods of high drawdown relative to historical maximums, implementing an automatic risk management overlay as advocated by modern portfolio theory (Markowitz, 1952).
#### 3.1.2 Multi-Algorithm Momentum Framework
RAMO supports three distinct momentum calculation methods:
1. Rate of Change: Traditional percentage-based momentum (Pring, 2002)
2. Price Momentum: Absolute price differences
3. Log Returns: Logarithmic returns preferred for volatile assets (Campbell, Lo & MacKinlay, 1997)
This multi-algorithm approach accommodates different asset characteristics and volatility profiles, addressing the heterogeneity documented in cross-sectional momentum studies (Asness et al., 2013).
### 3.2 Leading Indicator Components
#### 3.2.1 Momentum Acceleration Analysis
The momentum acceleration component calculates the second derivative of momentum, providing early signals of trend changes:
Momentum_Acceleration = EMA(Momentum_t - Momentum_{t-n}, n)
This approach draws from the physics concept of acceleration and has been applied successfully in financial time series analysis (Treadway, 1969).
#### 3.2.2 Linear Regression Prediction
RAMO incorporates linear regression-based prediction to project momentum values forward:
Predicted_Momentum = LinReg_Value + (LinReg_Slope × Forward_Offset)
This predictive component aligns with the literature on technical analysis forecasting (Lo, Mamaysky & Wang, 2000) and provides leading signals for trend changes.
#### 3.2.3 Volume-Based Exhaustion Detection
The exhaustion detection algorithm identifies potential reversal points by analyzing the relationship between momentum extremes and volume patterns:
Exhaustion = |Momentum| > Threshold AND Volume < SMA(Volume, 20)
This approach reflects the established principle that sustainable price movements require volume confirmation (Granville, 1963; Arms, 1989).
### 3.3 Statistical Normalization and Robustness
RAMO employs Z-score normalization with outlier protection to ensure statistical robustness:
Z_Score = (Value - Mean) / Standard_Deviation
Normalized_Value = max(-3.5, min(3.5, Z_Score))
This normalization approach follows best practices in quantitative finance for handling extreme observations (Taleb, 2007) and ensures consistent signal interpretation across different market conditions.
### 3.4 Adaptive Threshold Calculation
Dynamic thresholds are calculated using Bollinger Band methodology (Bollinger, 1992):
Upper_Threshold = Mean + (Multiplier × Standard_Deviation)
Lower_Threshold = Mean - (Multiplier × Standard_Deviation)
This adaptive approach ensures that signal thresholds adjust to changing market volatility, addressing the critique of fixed thresholds in technical analysis (Taylor & Allen, 1992).
## 4. Implementation Details
### 4.1 Adaptive Smoothing Algorithm
The adaptive smoothing mechanism adjusts the exponential moving average alpha parameter based on market volatility:
Volatility_Percentile = Percentrank(Volatility, 100)
Adaptive_Alpha = Min_Alpha + ((Max_Alpha - Min_Alpha) × Volatility_Percentile / 100)
This approach ensures faster response during volatile periods while maintaining smoothness during stable conditions, implementing the adaptive efficiency concept pioneered by Kaufman (1995).
### 4.2 Risk Environment Classification
RAMO classifies market conditions into three risk environments:
- Low Risk: Current_DD < 30% × Max_DD
- Medium Risk: 30% × Max_DD ≤ Current_DD < 70% × Max_DD
- High Risk: Current_DD ≥ 70% × Max_DD
This classification system enables conditional signal generation, with long signals filtered during high-risk periods—a approach consistent with institutional risk management practices (Ang, 2014).
## 5. Signal Generation and Interpretation
### 5.1 Entry Signal Logic
RAMO generates enhanced entry signals through multiple confirmation layers:
1. Primary Signal: Crossover between indicator and signal line
2. Risk Filter: Confirmation of favorable risk environment for long positions
3. Leading Component: Early warning signals via acceleration analysis
4. Exhaustion Filter: Volume-based reversal detection
This multi-layered approach addresses the false signal problem common in traditional technical indicators (Brock, Lakonishok & LeBaron, 1992).
### 5.2 Divergence Analysis
RAMO incorporates both traditional and leading divergence detection:
- Traditional Divergence: Price and indicator divergence over 3-5 periods
- Slope Divergence: Momentum slope versus price direction
- Acceleration Divergence: Changes in momentum acceleration
This comprehensive divergence analysis framework draws from Elliott Wave theory (Prechter & Frost, 1978) and momentum divergence literature (Murphy, 1999).
## 6. Empirical Advantages and Applications
### 6.1 Risk-Adjusted Performance
The risk adjustment mechanism addresses the fundamental criticism of momentum strategies: their tendency to experience severe drawdowns during market reversals (Daniel & Moskowitz, 2016). By automatically reducing position sizing during high-drawdown periods, RAMO implements a form of dynamic hedging consistent with portfolio insurance concepts (Leland, 1980).
### 6.2 Regime Awareness
RAMO's adaptive components enable regime-aware signal generation, addressing the regime-switching behavior documented in financial markets (Hamilton, 1989; Guidolin, 2011). The indicator automatically adjusts its parameters based on market volatility and risk conditions, providing more reliable signals across different market environments.
### 6.3 Institutional Applications
The sophisticated risk management overlay makes RAMO particularly suitable for institutional applications where drawdown control is paramount. The indicator's design philosophy aligns with the risk budgeting approaches used by hedge funds and institutional investors (Roncalli, 2013).
## 7. Limitations and Future Research
### 7.1 Parameter Sensitivity
Like all technical indicators, RAMO's performance depends on parameter selection. While default parameters are optimized for broad market applications, asset-specific calibration may enhance performance. Future research should examine optimal parameter selection across different asset classes and market conditions.
### 7.2 Market Microstructure Considerations
RAMO's effectiveness may vary across different market microstructure environments. High-frequency trading and algorithmic market making have fundamentally altered market dynamics (Aldridge, 2013), potentially affecting momentum indicator performance.
### 7.3 Transaction Cost Integration
Future enhancements could incorporate transaction cost analysis to provide net-return-based signals, addressing the implementation shortfall documented in practical momentum strategy applications (Korajczyk & Sadka, 2004).

Demand Index (Hybrid Sibbet) by TradeQUODemand Index (Hybrid Sibbet) by TradeQUO \
\Overview\
The Demand Index (DI) was introduced by James Sibbet in the early 1990s to gauge “real” buying versus selling pressure by combining price‐change information with volume intensity. Unlike pure price‐based oscillators (e.g. RSI or MACD), the DI highlights moves backed by above‐average volume—helping traders distinguish genuine demand/supply from false breakouts or low‐liquidity noise.
\Calculation\
\
\ \Step 1: Weighted Price (P)\
For each bar t, compute a weighted price:
```
Pₜ = Hₜ + Lₜ + 2·Cₜ
```
where Hₜ=High, Lₜ=Low, Cₜ=Close of bar t.
Also compute Pₜ₋₁ for the prior bar.
\ \Step 2: Raw Range (R)\
Calculate the two‐bar range:
```
Rₜ = max(Hₜ, Hₜ₋₁) – min(Lₜ, Lₜ₋₁)
```
This Rₜ is used indirectly in the exponential dampener below.
\ \Step 3: Normalize Volume (VolNorm)\
Compute an EMA of volume over n₁ bars (e.g. n₁=13):
```
EMA_Volₜ = EMA(Volume, n₁)ₜ
```
Then
```
VolNormₜ = Volumeₜ / EMA_Volₜ
```
If EMA\_Volₜ ≈ 0, set VolNormₜ to a small default (e.g. 0.0001) to avoid division‐by‐zero.
\ \Step 4: BuyPower vs. SellPower\
Calculate “raw” BuyPowerₜ and SellPowerₜ depending on whether Pₜ > Pₜ₋₁ (bullish) or Pₜ < Pₜ₋₁ (bearish). Use an exponential dampener factor Dₜ to moderate extreme moves when true range is small. Specifically:
• If Pₜ > Pₜ₋₁,
```
BuyPowerₜ = (VolNormₜ) / exp
```
otherwise
```
BuyPowerₜ = VolNormₜ.
```
• If Pₜ < Pₜ₋₁,
```
SellPowerₜ = (VolNormₜ) / exp
```
otherwise
```
SellPowerₜ = VolNormₜ.
```
Here, H₀ and L₀ are the very first bar’s High/Low—used to calibrate the scale of the dampening. If the denominator of the exponential is near zero, substitute a small epsilon (e.g. 1e-10).
\ \Step 5: Smooth Buy/Sell Power\
Apply a short EMA (n₂ bars, typically n₂=2) to each:
```
EMA_Buyₜ = EMA(BuyPower, n₂)ₜ
EMA_Sellₜ = EMA(SellPower, n₂)ₜ
```
\ \Step 6: Raw Demand Index (DI\_raw)\
```
DI_rawₜ = EMA_Buyₜ – EMA_Sellₜ
```
A positive DI\_raw indicates that buying force (normalized by volume) exceeds selling force; a negative value indicates the opposite.
\ \Step 7: Optional EMA Smoothing on DI (DI)\
To reduce choppiness, compute an EMA over DI\_raw (n₃ bars, e.g. n₃ = 1–5):
```
DIₜ = EMA(DI_raw, n₃)ₜ.
```
If n₃ = 1, DI = DI\_raw (no further smoothing).
\
\Interpretation\
\
\ \Crossing Zero Line\
• DI\_raw (or DI) crossing from below to above zero signals that cumulative buying pressure (over the chosen smoothing window) has overcome selling pressure—potential Long signal.
• Crossing from above to below zero signals dominant selling pressure—potential Short signal.
\ \DI\_raw vs. DI (EMA)\
• When DI\_raw > DI (the EMA of DI\_raw), bullish momentum is accelerating.
• When DI\_raw < DI, bullish momentum is weakening (or bearish acceleration).
\ \Divergences\
• If price makes new highs while DI fails to make higher highs (DI\_raw or DI declining), this hints at weakening buying power (“bearish divergence”), possibly preceding a reversal.
• If price makes new lows while DI fails to make lower lows (“bullish divergence”), this may signal waning selling pressure and a potential bounce.
\ \Volume Confirmation\
• A strong price move without a corresponding rise in DI often indicates low‐volume “fake” moves.
• Conversely, a modest price move with a large DI spike suggests true institutional participation—often a more reliable breakout.
\
\Usage Notes & Warnings\
\
\ \Never Use DI in Isolation\
It is a \filter\ and \confirmation\ tool—combine with price‐action (trendlines, support/resistance, candlestick patterns) and risk management (stop‐losses) before executing trades.
\ \Parameter Selection\
• \Vol EMA length (n₁)\: Commonly 13–20 bars. Shorter → more responsive to volume spikes, but noisier.
• \Buy/Sell EMA length (n₂)\: Typically 2 bars for fast smoothing.
• \DI smoothing (n₃)\: Usually 1 (no smoothing) or 3–5 for moderate smoothing. Long DI\_EMA (e.g. 20–50) gives a slower signal.
\ \Market Adaptation\
Works well in liquid futures, indices, and heavily traded stocks. In thinly traded or highly erratic markets, adjust n₁ upward (e.g., 20–30) to reduce noise.
---
\In Summary\
The Demand Index (James Sibbet) uses a three‐stage smoothing (volume → Buy/Sell Power → DI) to reveal true demand/supply imbalance. By combining normalized volume with price change, Sibbet’s DI helps traders identify momentum backed by real participation—filtering out “empty” moves and spotting early divergences. Always confirm DI signals with price action and sound risk controls before trading.

Core Logic
Entry: Go long when the 15-period SMA crosses above the 45-period SMA; go short on the inverse cross.
Stop-Loss: On entry, compute ATR(14)×2.0 and set a fixed stop at entry ± that amount. Stop remains static until hit.
Trend Tracking: Uses barssince() to ensure only one active long or short position; stop is only active while that trend persists.
Visualization
Plots fast/slow SMA lines in teal/orange.
On each entry bar, displays a label showing “ATR value” and “ATR×multiple” positioned at the 30-bar low (long) or high (short).
Draws an “×” at the stop-price level in green (long) or red (short) while the position is open.
Execution Settings
Initial Capital: $100 000, Size = 100 shares per trade.
Commission: 0.075% per trade.
Pyramiding: 1.
Calculations: Only on bar close (no intra-bar ticks).
Usage Notes
Static ATR stop adapts to volatility but does not trail.
Ideal for trending, liquid markets (stocks, futures, FX).
Adjust SMA lengths or ATR multiple for faster/slower signals.

🧠 Overview
“Volume Pressure” is a multi-timeframe, real-time table-based volume analysis tool designed to give traders a clear and immediate view of buying and selling pressure across custom-selected timeframes. By breaking down buy volume, sell volume, total volume, and their percentages, this indicator helps traders identify demand/supply imbalances and volume momentum in the market.
🎯 Purpose / Trading Use Case
This indicator is ideal for intraday and short-term traders who want to:
Spot aggressive buying or selling activity
Track volume dynamics across multiple timeframes *1 min time frame will give best results*
Use volume pressure as a confirming tool alongside price action or trend-based systems
It helps determine when large buying/selling activity is occurring and whether such behavior is consistent across timeframes—a strong signal of institutional interest or volume-driven trend shifts.
🧩 Key Features & Logic
Real-Time Table Display: A clean, dynamic table showing:
Buy Volume
Sell Volume
Total Volume
Buy % of total volume
Sell % of total volume
Multi-Time frame Analysis: Supports 8 user-selectable custom time frames from 1 to 240 minutes, giving flexibility to analyze volume pressure at various granularities.
Color-Coded Volume Bias:
Green for dominant Buy pressure
Red for dominant Sell pressure
Yellow for Neutral
Intensity-based blinking for extreme values (over 70%)
Dynamic Data Calculation:
Uses volume * (close > open) logic to estimate buy vs sell volumes bar-by-bar, then aggregates by timeframe.
⚙️ User Inputs & Settings
Timeframe Selectors (TF1 to TF8): Choose any 8 timeframes you want to monitor volume pressure across.
Text & Color Settings:
Customize text colors for Buy, Sell, Total volumes
Choose Buy/Sell bias colors
Enable/disable blinking for visual emphasis on extremes
Table Appearance:
Set header color, metric background, and text size
Table positioning: top-right, bottom-right, etc.
Blinking Highlight Toggle: Enable this to visually highlight when Buy/Sell % exceeds 70%—a sign of strong pressure.
📊 Visual Elements Explained
The table has 6 rows and 10 columns:
Row 0: Headers for Today and TF1 to TF8
Rows 1–3: Absolute values (Buy Vol, Sell Vol, Total Vol)
Rows 4–5: Relative percentages (Buy %, Sell %), with dynamic background color
First column shows the metric names (e.g., “Buy Vol”)
Cells blink using alternate background colors if volume pressure crosses thresholds
💡 How to Use It Effectively
Use Buy/Sell % rows to confirm potential breakout trades or identify volume exhaustion zones
Look for multi-timeframe confluence: If 5 or more TFs show >70% Buy pressure, buyers are in control
Combine with price action (e.g., breakouts, reversals) to increase conviction
Suitable for equities, indices, futures, crypto, especially on lower timeframes (1m to 15m)
🏆 What Makes It Unique
Table-based MTF Volume Pressure Display: Most indicators only show volume as bars or histograms; this script summarizes and color-codes volume bias across timeframes in a tabular format.
Customization-friendly: Full control over colors, themes, and timeframes
Blinking Alerts: Rare visual feature to capture user attention during extreme pressure
Designed with performance and readability in mind—even for fast-paced scalping environments.
🚨 Alerts / Extras
While this script doesn’t include TradingView alert functions directly, the visual blinking serves as a strong real-time alert mechanism.
Future versions may include built-in alert conditions for buy/sell bias thresholds.
🔬 Technical Concepts Used
Volume Dissection using close > open logic (to estimate buyer vs seller pressure)
Simple aggregation of volume over custom timeframes
Table plotting using Pine Script table.new, table.cell
Dynamic color logic for bias identification
Custom blinking logic using na(bar_index % 2 == 0 ? colorA : colorB)

AMD Setup - Full (Long + Short) ICT ModelICTSNIPERKILLS!
Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution (AMD) Script!
1. Clarifies Structure: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution (AMD)
The script visualizes the AMD framework:
Accumulation → Price ranges inside Initial Balance (IB).
Manipulation → Liquidity sweep above IB High or below IB Low.
Distribution → Market Structure Shift (MSS) confirms a directional move.
This gives you a narrative structure for each session, helping you avoid random trades.
🧠 2. Filters Out Noise with MSS Confirmation
It waits for:
A liquidity sweep (manipulation),
Followed by a market structure shift (MSS),
And then confirms an entry only after a candle closes beyond structure.
This structure:
Reduces false signals,
Improves trade timing,
Helps you align with smart money delivery.
🕘 3. Focuses on the Right Time Window (Initial Balance)
You only engage after the 10:30 AM EST close, once the Initial Balance is formed.This aligns with ICT's focus on:
Killzones (like 9:30–11:00),
Avoiding early overtrading,
Letting the market tip its hand first (through sweeps + MSS).
This timing logic supports discipline and consistency.
🟢🔴 4. Marks Entries with Risk/Reward Guidance
It plots:
AMD SHORT / LONG entries after MSS + candle confirmation,
Basic TP and SL visual markers using a static risk-reward (2:1),
Optional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) for refinement zones.
While static, these help plan trades visually and frame targets quickly, especially if you're scalping or trading micro futures like MNQ.
📈 5. Alerts You in Real Time
Instead of manually watching:
You'll get alerts when sweeps or MSS setups appear.
You can stay focused during the killzone or walk away and return when signals trigger.
This supports patience and alert-based discipline.
💡
You already:
Use 15M/1M execution,
Wait for ERL or HOD/LOD sweeps,
Look for MSS + CISD,
Trade in killzones only,
Target 50–62–70% Fibs with SMT/FVG confluence.
This script:✅ Automates sweep + MSS detection✅ Plots AMD-based entries visually✅ Simplifies your killzone execution✅ Helps avoid FOMO by filtering setups✅ Keeps your journal entries clean with structure
