Weis Wave Volume MTF 🎯 Indicator Name
Weis Wave Volume (Multi‑Timeframe) — adapted from the original “Weis Wave Volume by LazyBear.”
This version adds multi‑timeframe (MTF) readings, configurable colors, font size, and screen position for clear dashboard‑style display.
🧠 Concept Background — What is Weis Wave Volume (WWV)?
The Weis Wave Volume indicator originates from Wyckoff and David Weis’ techniques.
Its purpose is to link price movement “waves” with the amount of traded volume to reveal how strong or weak each wave is.
Instead of showing bars one by one, WWV accumulates the total volume while price keeps moving in the same direction.
When price direction changes (up → down or down → up), it:
Finishes the previous wave volume total.
Starts a new wave and begins accumulating again.
Those wave volumes help traders see:
Effort vs Result: Big volume with small price move ⇒ absorption; low volume with big move ⇒ weak participation.
Trend confirmation or exhaustion: High volume waves in trend direction strengthen it, while low‑volume waves hint exhaustion.
⚙️ How this Script Works
Trend & Wave Detection
Compares close with the previous bar to determine up or down movement (mov).
Detects trend reversals (when mov direction changes).
Builds “waves,” each representing a continuous run of bars in one direction.
Volume Accumulation
While price keeps the same direction, the script adds each bar’s volume to the running total (vol).
When direction flips, it resets that total and starts a new wave.
Multi‑Timeframe Computation
Calculates these wave volumes on three timeframes at once, chosen dynamically:
Active Chart Timeframe Displays WWV for:
1 min 1 min
5 min 5 min
15 min 15 min
Any other Chart TF
It uses request.security() to pull each timeframe’s latest WWV value and current wave direction.
Visual Output
Instead of plotting histogram bars, it shows a table with three numeric values:
WWV (1): 25.3 M | (15): 312 M | (240): 2.46 B
Each value is color‑coded:
user‑selected Uptrend Color when price wave = up
user‑selected Downtrend Color when wave = down
You can position this small table in any corner/center (top / bottom × left / center / right).
Font size is user‑adjustable (Tiny → Huge).
📈 How Traders Use It
Quickly gauge buying vs selling effort across multiple horizons.
Compare short‑term wave volume to higher‑timeframe waves to spot:
Alignment → all up and big volumes = strong trend
Divergence → small or opposite‑colored higher‑TF wave = potential reversal or pause
Combine with Wyckoff, VSA, or standard trend analysis to judge if a breakout or pullback has real participation.

Volume-Price Shift Box (Lite Version)Description
This indicator is a clean and intuitive visual tool designed to help traders quickly assess the current balance of bullish and bearish forces in the market.
It combines volume, price movement, VWAP, and OBV dynamics into a compact on-chart table that updates in real time.
This version focuses on the core logic and visualization of momentum and volume shifts, making it ideal for traders who want actionable insight without complex configuration.
How It Works
The script measures the combined strength of multiple market components:
VWAP trend indicates price bias relative to fair value.
OBV (On-Balance Volume) tracks volume flow to confirm or contradict price movement.
Volume ratio compares current volume to its recent average.
Momentum evaluates directional price movement over a configurable lookback period.
Accumulation / Distribution (A/D) Line estimates buying or selling pressure within each candle:
↑ — A/D is rising (buying pressure is increasing)
↑↑ — A/D is rising faster than before (acceleration of buying)
↓ — A/D is falling (selling pressure is increasing)
↓↓ — A/D is falling faster than before (acceleration of selling)
Each of these components contributes to an overall shift score.
Depending on this score, the box displays:
🟢 Bullish Shift — strong upward alignment
🔴 Bearish Shift — downward alignment
⚪ Neutral — mixed or indecisive conditions
Key Features
Compact on-chart information box with color-coded parameters
Combined volume-price relationship model
Configurable lookback and sensitivity controls
Real-time shift strength and trend duration tracking
Adjustable EMA/SMA smoothing for all averages
Lightweight design optimized for clarity
Inputs Overview
Box Position / Size – Place and scale the on-chart info box
Lookback Period – Number of bars used for calculations
VWAP Lookback – Period for VWAP distance smoothing
Shift Sensitivity – Adjusts reaction strength of bullish/bearish shifts
Neutral Zone Threshold – Defines when the market is considered neutral
EMA or SMA – Choose exponential or simple moving averages
Component Weights – Set the influence of VWAP, OBV, Volume, and Momentum on the shift score
Display Toggles – Enable or disable metrics shown in the box (Strength, Volume, VWAP, Duration, OBV)
How to Use
Apply the indicator to any symbol and timeframe.
Observe the box on the chart — it updates dynamically.
Look for transitions between Neutral → Bullish or Neutral → Bearish shifts.
Combine with your existing price action or confirmation tools (e.g., support/resistance, trendlines).
Use the “Strength” and “Duration” values to assess consistency and momentum quality.
(This indicator is not a buy/sell signal generator — it is designed as a contextual analysis and confirmation tool.)
How It Helps
Merges several key volume and price metrics into a single view
Highlights transitions in market control between buyers and sellers
Reduces clutter by presenting only relevant context data
Works on any market and timeframe, from scalping to swing trading

Retail vs Banker Net Positions – Symmetry BreakRetail vs Banker Net Positions – Symmetry Break (Institution Focus)
Description:
This advanced indicator is a volume-proxy-based positioning tool that separates institutional vs. retail behavior using bar structure, trend-following logic, and statistical analysis. It identifies net position flows over time, detects institutional aggression spikes, and highlights symmetry breaks—those moments when institutional action diverges sharply from retail behavior. Designed for intraday to swing traders, this is a powerful tool for gauging smart money activity and retail exhaustion.
What It Does:
Separates Volume into Two Groups:
Institutional Proxy: Volume on large bars in trend direction
Retail Proxy: Volume on small or counter-trend bars
Calculates Net Positions (%):
Smooths cumulative buying vs. selling behavior for each group over time.
Highlights Symmetry Breaks:
Alerts when institutions make statistically abnormal moves while retail is quiet or doing the opposite.
Detects Extremes in Institutional Activity:
Flags major tops/bottoms in institutional positioning using swing pivots or rolling windows.
Retail Sentiment Flips:
Marks when the retail line crosses the zero line (e.g., flipping from net short to net long).
How to Use It:
Interpreting the Two Lines:
Aqua/Orange Line (Institutional Proxy):
Rising above zero = Net buying bias
Falling below zero = Net selling bias
Lime/Red Line (Retail Proxy):
Green = Retail buying; Red = Retail selling
Watch for crosses of zero for sentiment shifts
Spotting Symmetry Breaks:
Pink Circle or Background Highlight =
Institutions made a sharp, outsized move while retail was:
Quiet (low ROC), or
Moving in the opposite direction
These often precede explosive directional moves or stop hunts.
Institutional Extremes:
Marked with aqua (top) or orange (bottom) dots
Based on swing pivot logic or rolling highs/lows in institutional positioning
Optional filter: Only show extremes that coincide with a symmetry break
Settings You Can Tune:
Lookback lengths for trend, z-scores, smoothing
Z-Score thresholds to control sensitivity
Retail quiet filters to reduce false positives
Cool-down timer to avoid rapid repeat signals
Toggle visual aids like shading, markers, and threshold lines
Alerts Included:
-Retail flips (green/red)
- Institutional symmetry breaks
- Institutional extreme tops/bottoms
Strategy Tip:
Use this indicator to track institutional accumulation or distribution phases and catch asymmetric inflection points where the "smart money" acts decisively. Confluence with price structure or FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) can further enhance signal quality.
CK Trading RSIRSI with colour-coded areas for accumulation, BUY, take profit and SELL zones. Ideally, it can be used on the 8-hour chart over a longer period of time.
Volume Sentiment Breakout Channels [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This tool visualizes breakout zones based on volume sentiment within dynamic price channels . It identifies high-impact consolidation areas, quantifies buy/sell dominance inside those zones, and then displays real-time shifts in sentiment strength. When the market breaks above or below these sentiment-weighted channels, traders can interpret the event as a change in conviction, not just a technical breakout.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script builds on two layers of logic:
Channel Detection : A volatility-based algorithm locates price compression areas using normalized highs and lows over a defined lookback. These “boxes” mark accumulation or distribution ranges.
Volume Sentiment Profiling : Each channel is internally divided into small bins, where volume is aggregated and signed by candle direction. This produces a granular sentiment map showing which levels are dominated by buyers or sellers.
When a breakout occurs, the script clears the previous box and forms a new one, letting traders visually track transitions between phases of control. The colored gradients and text updates continuously reflect the internal bias—green for net-buying, red for net-selling—so you can see conviction strength at a glance.
🟠 FEATURES
Volume-weighted sentiment map inside each box, with gradient color intensity proportional to participation.
Dynamic text display of current and overall sentiment within each channel.
Real-time trail lines to show active bullish/bearish trend extensions after breakout.
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart and enable Strong Closes Only if you prefer cleaner breakouts. Use shorter normalization length (e.g., 50–80) for fast markets; longer (100–200) for smoother transitions.
Read Signals : Transparent boxes mark active sentiment channels. Green gradients show buy-side dominance, red shows sell-side. The middle dashed line is the equilibrium of the channel. “▲” appears when price breaks upward, “▼” when it breaks downward.
Understanding Sentiment : The sentiment profile can be used to show the probability of the price moving up or down at respective price levels.

"The best traders read price action, not indicators. But when indicators help you read price action better, use them." - Al Brooks
Previous D/W/M HLOCHey traders,
Here's a simple Multi-Timeframe indicator that essentially turns time and price into a box. It'll take the previous high, low, opening price, or closing price from one of the three timeframes of your choice (day, week, or month). For whatever reason I can't get the opening price to function consistently so if you find improvements feel free to let me know, this will help traders who prefer to use opening price over closing price.
Naturally this form of charting is classical and nature and some key figures you could use to study its usage are
- Richard W. Schabacker (1930s)
- Edwards & Magee (1948)
- Peter Brandt
- Stacey Burke (more on the intraday side - typically our preference)
It's usage put plainly:
- Quantifying Accumulation or Distribution
- Revealing Energy Build-Up (Compression)
- Framing Breakouts and False Breakouts
- Structuring Time
- Identifying opportunities to trade a daily, weekly, or monthly range.
Power RSI Segment Runner [CHE] Power RSI Segment Runner — Tracks RSI momentum across higher timeframe segments to detect directional switches for trend confirmation.
Summary
This indicator calculates a running Relative Strength Index adapted to segments defined by changes in a higher timeframe, such as daily closes, providing a smoothed view of momentum within each period. It distinguishes between completed segments, which fix the final RSI value, and ongoing ones, which update in real time with an exponential moving average filter. Directional switches between bullish and bearish momentum trigger visual alerts, including overlay lines and emojis, while a compact table displays current trend strength as a progress bar. This segmented approach reduces noise from intra-period fluctuations, offering clearer signals for trend persistence compared to standard RSI on lower timeframes.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard RSI often generates erratic signals in choppy markets due to constant recalculation over fixed lookback periods, leading to false reversals that mislead traders during range-bound or volatile phases. By resetting the RSI accumulation at higher timeframe boundaries, this indicator aligns momentum assessment with broader market cycles, capturing sustained directional bias more reliably. It addresses the gap between short-term noise and long-term trends, helping users filter entries without over-relying on absolute overbought or oversold thresholds.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline Reference: Diverges from the classic Wilder RSI, which uses a fixed-length exponential moving average of gains and losses across all bars.
- Architecture Differences:
- Segments momentum resets at higher timeframe changes, isolating calculations per period instead of continuous history.
- Employs persistent sums for ups and downs within segments, with on-the-fly RSI derivation and EMA smoothing.
- Integrates switch detection logic that clears prior visuals on reversal, preventing clutter from outdated alerts.
- Adds overlay projections like horizontal price lines and dynamic percent change trackers for immediate trade context.
- Practical Effect: Charts show discrete RSI endpoints for past segments alongside a curved running trace, making momentum evolution visually intuitive. Switches appear as clean, extendable overlays, reducing alert fatigue and highlighting only confirmed directional shifts, which aids in avoiding whipsaws during minor pullbacks.
How it works (technical)
The indicator begins by detecting changes in the specified higher timeframe, such as a new daily bar, to define segment boundaries. At each boundary, it finalizes the prior segment's RSI by summing positive and negative price changes over that period and derives the value from the ratio of those sums, then applies an exponential moving average for smoothing. Within the active segment, it accumulates ongoing ups and downs from price changes relative to the source, recalculating the running RSI similarly and smoothing it with the same EMA length.
Points for the running RSI are collected into an array starting from the segment's onset, forming a curved polyline once sufficient bars accumulate. Comparisons between the running RSI and the last completed segment's value determine the current direction as long, short, or neutral, with switches triggering deletions of old visuals and creation of new ones: a label at the RSI pane, a vertical dashed line across the RSI range, an emoji positioned via ATR offset on the price chart, a solid horizontal line at the switch price, a dashed line tracking current close, and a midpoint label for percent change from the switch.
Initialization occurs on the first bar by resetting accumulators, and visualization gates behind a minimum bar count since the segment start to avoid early instability. The trend strength table builds vertically with filled cells proportional to the rounded RSI value, colored by direction. All drawing objects update or extend on subsequent bars to reflect live progress.
Parameter Guide
EMA Length — Controls the smoothing applied to the running RSI; higher values increase lag but reduce noise. Default: 10. Trade-offs: Shorter settings heighten sensitivity for fast markets but risk more false switches; longer ones suit trending conditions for stability.
Source — Selects the price data for change calculations, typically close for standard momentum. Default: close. Trade-offs: Open or high/low may emphasize gaps, altering segment intensity.
Segment Timeframe — Defines the higher timeframe for segment resets, like daily for intraday charts. Default: D. Trade-offs: Shorter frames create more frequent but shorter segments; longer ones align with major cycles but delay resets.
Overbought Level — Sets the upper threshold for potential overbought conditions (currently unused in visuals). Default: 70. Trade-offs: Adjust for asset volatility; higher values delay bearish warnings.
Oversold Level — Sets the lower threshold for potential oversold conditions (currently unused in visuals). Default: 30. Trade-offs: Lower values permit deeper dips before signaling bullish potential.
Show Completed Label — Toggles labels at segment ends displaying final RSI. Default: true. Trade-offs: Enables historical review but can crowd charts on dense timeframes.
Plot Running Segment — Enables the curved polyline for live RSI trace. Default: true. Trade-offs: Visualizes intra-segment flow; disable for cleaner panes.
Running RSI as Label — Displays current running RSI as a forward-projected label on the last bar. Default: false. Trade-offs: Useful for quick reads; may overlap in tight scales.
Show Switch Label — Activates RSI pane labels on directional switches. Default: true. Trade-offs: Provides context; omit to minimize pane clutter.
Show Switch Line (RSI) — Draws vertical dashed lines across the RSI range at switches. Default: true. Trade-offs: Marks reversal bars clearly; extends both ways for reference.
Show Solid Overlay Line — Projects a horizontal line from switch price forward. Default: true. Trade-offs: Acts as dynamic support/resistance; wider lines enhance visibility.
Show Dashed Overlay Line — Tracks a dashed line from switch to current close. Default: true. Trade-offs: Shows price deviation; thinner for subtlety.
Show Percent Change Label — Midpoint label tracking percent move from switch. Default: true. Trade-offs: Quantifies progress; centers dynamically.
Show Trend Strength Table — Displays right-side table with direction header and RSI bar. Default: true. Trade-offs: Instant strength gauge; fixed position avoids overlap.
Activate Visualization After N Bars — Delays signals until this many bars into a segment. Default: 3. Trade-offs: Filters immature readings; higher values miss early momentum.
Segment End Label — Color for completed RSI labels. Default: 7E57C2. Trade-offs: Purple tones for finality.
Running RSI — Color for polyline and running elements. Default: yellow. Trade-offs: Bright for live tracking.
Long — Color for bullish switch visuals. Default: green. Trade-offs: Standard for uptrends.
Short — Color for bearish switch visuals. Default: red. Trade-offs: Standard for downtrends.
Solid Line Width — Thickness of horizontal overlay line. Default: 2. Trade-offs: Bolder for emphasis on key levels.
Dashed Line Width — Thickness of tracking and vertical lines. Default: 1. Trade-offs: Finer to avoid dominance.
Reading & Interpretation
Completed segment RSIs appear as static points or labels in purple, indicating the fixed momentum at period close—values drifting toward the upper half suggest building strength, while lower half implies weakness. The yellow curved polyline traces the live smoothed RSI within the current segment, rising for accumulating gains and falling for losses. Directional labels and lines in green or red flag switches: green for running momentum exceeding the prior segment's, signaling potential uptrend continuation; red for the opposite.
The right table's header colors green for long, red for short, or gray for neutral/wait, with filled purple bars scaling from bottom (low RSI) to top (high), topped by the numeric value. Overlay elements project from switch bars: the solid green/red line as a price anchor, dashed tracker showing pullback extent, and percent label quantifying deviation—positive for alignment with direction, negative for counter-moves. Emojis (up arrow for long, down for short) float above/below price via ATR spacing for quick chart scans.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend Following: Enter long on green switch confirmation after a higher high in structure; filter with table strength above midpoint for conviction. Pair with volume surge for added weight.
- Exits/Stops: Trail stops to the solid overlay line on pullbacks; exit if percent change reverses beyond 2 percent against direction. Use wait bars to confirm without chasing.
- Multi-Asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 1H-4H with daily segments; for crypto, shorten EMA to 5 for volatility. Scale segment TF to weekly for daily charts across indices.
- Combinations: Overlay on EMA clouds for confluence—switch aligning with cloud break strengthens signal. Add volatility filters like ATR bands to debounce in low-volume regimes.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm on bar close within segments, with running polyline updating live but gated by minimum bars to prevent flicker. Higher timeframe changes may introduce minor repaints on timeframe switches, mitigated by relying on confirmed HTF closes rather than intrabar peeks. Resource limits cap at 500 labels/lines and 50 polylines, pruning old objects on switches to stay efficient; no explicit loops, but array growth ties to segment length—suitable for up to 500-bar histories without lag.
Known limits include delayed visualization in short segments and insensitivity to overbought/oversold levels, as thresholds are inputted but not actively visualized. Gaps in source data reset accumulators prematurely, potentially skewing early RSI.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with EMA length 10, daily segments, and 3-bar wait for balanced responsiveness on hourly charts. For excessive switches in ranging markets, increase wait bars to 5 or EMA to 14 to dampen noise. If signals lag in trends, drop EMA to 5 and use 1H segments. For stable assets like indices, widen to weekly segments; tune colors for dark/light themes without altering logic.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This tool serves as a momentum visualization and switch detector layered over price action, aiding trend identification and confirmation in segmented contexts. It is not a standalone trading system, predictive model, or risk calculator—always integrate with broader analysis, position sizing, and stop-loss discipline. View it as an enhancement for discretionary setups, not automated alerts without validation.

By combining volume spikes with price action and support/resistance boxes, it highlights potential trend continuations, reversals, and cycle shifts. Ideal for intraday and swing trading on stocks, forex, or crypto, it uses a Fibonacci-inspired 1.618 multiplier to detect significant volume surges, then maps them to visual boxes and key levels for actionable insights.
This indicator draws from volume profile concepts but focuses on **breakout confirmation** and **cycle momentum**, helping you spot when "smart money" volume aligns with price extremes. It's particularly useful in volatile markets where volume precedes price moves.
**How It Works**
1. **Volume Break Detection**:
- Identifies a "Volume Break" when the current bar's volume exceeds 1.618x the highest volume from the prior 5 bars. This signals unusual activity, often preceding breakouts.
- A "Volume Retest" triggers exactly 3 bars after a break if volume has been falling steadily over those 3 bars—indicating a pullback for re-accumulation/distribution.
2. **Visual Annotations**:
- **Labels**: Green/red/yellow labels mark Volume Breaks and Retests, positioned above/below the bar based on candle direction for clarity.
- **Demand/Supply Boxes**:
- Blue semi-transparent boxes form around Retest bars, extending rightward to act as dynamic support/resistance.
- Green (bullish) or red (bearish) boxes draw from Volume Breaks, based on the original candle's open/close, highlighting potential zones for continuation.
- Limited to 5 boxes max to avoid chart clutter; older boxes fade as new ones form.
3. **Box Interaction Signals**:
- When price enters a box:
- **Reversal Hints**: Maroon (bearish rejection) or lime (bullish rejection) labels on closes against the trend with opening price momentum.
- **Breakout Arrows**: Up/down arrows on crossovers/crossunders of box tops/bottoms from Retest boxes.
- Scans all active boxes for interactions, prioritizing recent volume events.
4. **Multi-Timeframe Volume Cycles**:
- Aggregates the "Volume Break Max" level (a proxy for key price extremes tied to volume spikes) across timeframes: 1min, 5min, 10min, 30min, and 65min (using `request.security`).
- Computes **MaxVolBreak** (highest extreme) and **MinVolBreak** (lowest extreme) for trend-following levels.
- Tracks **Percent Volume Greater/Less Than Close**: Sums volumes from TFs where price is below/above these levels, creating a momentum ratio.
- **CrossClose**: Plots the prior close where this ratio crosses (gray line), signaling cycle shifts—bullish below MinVolBreak, bearish above MaxVolBreak.
- **Fills**: Red fill above CrossClose/MaxVolBreak (bearish cycle); green below CrossClose/MinVolBreak (bullish cycle).
5. **Plots**:
- Black lines for MaxVolBreak (⏫) and MinVolBreak (⏬).
- Gray 🔄 for CrossClose.
- Colors dynamically adjust (green/red) based on close relative to levels.
**Key Features**
- **Trend vs. Reversal Modes**: Toggle alerts for trend-following breaks (crosses of Max/MinVolBreak) or reversal signals (crosses of CrossClose).
- **Multi-TF Fusion**: Optionally include the chart's native timeframe in Max/Min calculations for finer tuning.
- **Box Management**: Auto-prunes to 5 boxes; focuses on retest/break alignments for "inside bar" logic.
- **Momentum Filters**: Uses rising/falling opens and crossovers for label precision, reducing noise.
- **Customizable**: Simple inputs for alert visibility and timeframe inclusion.
**Settings**
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Show Volume Reversal Breaks | False | Enables alerts/labels for CrossClose crosses (cycle reversals). |
| Show Trend Following Breaks | True | Enables alerts for Max/MinVolBreak crosses (trend signals). |
| Use Current Time | False | Includes chart's native TF in multi-TF Max/Min calculations. |
**Alerts**
- **Reversal Alerts** (if enabled): "Volume Reverse Bullish/Bearish Break of " on close crosses of CrossClose.
- **Trend Alerts** (if enabled): "Trend Volume Bullish/Bearish Signal" on close crosses of Max/MinVolBreak; plus notes if prior low/high aligns with levels.
- All alerts include ticker and level value for easy scanning. Use `alert.freq_once_per_bar` to avoid spam.
**Trading Ideas**
- **Bullish Entry**: Green box formation + price holding MinVolBreak + upward arrow on retest box. Target next resistance.
- **Bearish Entry**: Red box + close above MaxVolBreak + red fill activation. Stop below recent low.
- **Cycle Trading**: Watch CrossClose crosses for regime shifts—fade extremes in overextended cycles.
- **Best Timeframes**: 5-30min for intraday; combine with daily for swings. Works best on liquid assets with reliable volume data.
**Limitations & Notes**
- Relies on accurate volume data (e.g., stocks/forex); less effective on low-volume or synthetic instruments.
- Boxes extend rightward but don't auto-delete—monitor for clutter on long histories (max_bars_back=500).
- Some logic (e.g., exact 3-bar retest) is rigid; backtest for your market.
- Open-source under MPL 2.0—fork and tweak as needed!

Ehlers Phasor Analysis (PHASOR)# PHASOR: Phasor Analysis (Ehlers)
## Overview and Purpose
The Phasor Analysis indicator, developed by John Ehlers, represents an advanced cycle analysis tool that identifies the phase of the dominant cycle component in a time series through complex signal processing techniques. This sophisticated indicator uses correlation-based methods to determine the real and imaginary components of the signal, converting them to a continuous phase angle that reveals market cycle progression. Unlike traditional oscillators, the Phasor provides unwrapped phase measurements that accumulate continuously, offering unique insights into market timing and cycle behavior.
## Core Concepts
* **Complex Signal Analysis** — Uses real and imaginary components to determine cycle phase
* **Correlation-Based Detection** — Employs Ehlers' correlation method for robust phase estimation
* **Unwrapped Phase Tracking** — Provides continuous phase accumulation without discontinuities
* **Anti-Regression Logic** — Prevents phase angle from moving backward under specific conditions
Market Applications:
* **Cycle Timing** — Precise identification of cycle peaks and troughs
* **Market Regime Analysis** — Distinguishes between trending and cycling market conditions
* **Turning Point Detection** — Advanced warning system for potential market reversals
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|----------------|
| Period | 28 | Fixed cycle period for correlation analysis | Match to expected dominant cycle length |
| Source | Close | Price series for phase calculation | Use typical price or other smoothed series |
| Show Derived Period | false | Display calculated period from phase rate | Enable for adaptive period analysis |
| Show Trend State | false | Display trend/cycle state variable | Enable for regime identification |
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Technical Formula:**
**Stage 1: Correlation Analysis**
For period $n$ and source $x_t$:
Real component correlation with cosine wave:
$$R = \frac{n \sum x_t \cos\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right) - \sum x_t \sum \cos\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)}{\sqrt{D_{cos}}}$$
Imaginary component correlation with negative sine wave:
$$I = \frac{n \sum x_t \left(-\sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)\right) - \sum x_t \sum \left(-\sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)\right)}{\sqrt{D_{sin}}}$$
where $D_{cos}$ and $D_{sin}$ are normalization denominators.
**Stage 2: Phase Angle Conversion**
$$\theta_{raw} = \begin{cases}
90° - \arctan\left(\frac{I}{R}\right) \cdot \frac{180°}{\pi} & \text{if } R \neq 0 \\
0° & \text{if } R = 0, I > 0 \\
180° & \text{if } R = 0, I \leq 0
\end{cases}$$
**Stage 3: Phase Unwrapping**
$$\theta_{unwrapped}(t) = \theta_{unwrapped}(t-1) + \Delta\theta$$
where $\Delta\theta$ is the normalized phase difference.
**Stage 4: Ehlers' Anti-Regression Condition**
$$\theta_{final}(t) = \begin{cases}
\theta_{final}(t-1) & \text{if regression conditions met} \\
\theta_{unwrapped}(t) & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}$$
**Derived Calculations:**
Derived Period: $P_{derived} = \frac{360°}{\Delta\theta_{final}}$ (clamped to )
Trend State:
$$S_{trend} = \begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } \Delta\theta \leq 6° \text{ and } |\theta| \geq 90° \\
-1 & \text{if } \Delta\theta \leq 6° \text{ and } |\theta| < 90° \\
0 & \text{if } \Delta\theta > 6°
\end{cases}$$
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The correlation-based approach provides robust phase estimation even in noisy market conditions, while the unwrapping mechanism ensures continuous phase tracking across cycle boundaries.
## Interpretation Details
* **Phasor Angle (Primary Output):**
- **+90°**: Potential cycle peak region
- **0°**: Mid-cycle ascending phase
- **-90°**: Potential cycle trough region
- **±180°**: Mid-cycle descending phase
* **Phase Progression:**
- Continuous upward movement → Normal cycle progression
- Phase stalling → Potential cycle extension or trend development
- Rapid phase changes → Cycle compression or volatility spike
* **Derived Period Analysis:**
- Period < 10 → High-frequency cycle dominance
- Period 15-40 → Typical swing trading cycles
- Period > 50 → Trending market conditions
* **Trend State Variable:**
- **+1**: Long trend conditions (slow phase change in extreme zones)
- **-1**: Short trend or consolidation (slow phase change in neutral zones)
- **0**: Active cycling (normal phase change rate)
## Applications
* **Cycle-Based Trading:**
- Enter long positions near -90° crossings (cycle troughs)
- Enter short positions near +90° crossings (cycle peaks)
- Exit positions during mid-cycle phases (0°, ±180°)
* **Market Timing:**
- Use phase acceleration for early trend detection
- Monitor derived period for cycle length changes
- Combine with trend state for regime-appropriate strategies
* **Risk Management:**
- Adjust position sizes based on cycle clarity (derived period stability)
- Implement different risk parameters for trending vs. cycling regimes
- Use phase velocity for stop-loss placement timing
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Parameter Sensitivity:**
- Fixed period assumption may not match actual market cycles
- Requires cycle period optimization for different markets and timeframes
- Performance degrades when multiple cycles interfere
* **Computational Complexity:**
- Correlation calculations over full period windows
- Multiple mathematical transformations increase processing requirements
- Real-time implementation requires efficient algorithms
* **Market Conditions:**
- Most effective in markets with clear cyclical behavior
- May provide false signals during strong trending periods
- Requires sufficient historical data for correlation analysis
Complementary Indicators:
* MESA Adaptive Moving Average (cycle-based smoothing)
* Dominant Cycle Period indicators
* Detrended Price Oscillator (cycle identification)

Fib OscillatorWhat is Fib Oscillator and How to Use it?
🔶 1. Conceptual Overview
The Fib Oscillator is a Fibonacci-based relative position oscillator.
Instead of measuring momentum (like RSI or MACD), it measures where price currently sits between the recent swing high and swing low, expressed as a percentage within the Fibonacci range.
In other words:
It answers: “Where is price right now within its most recent dynamic range?”
It visualizes retracement and extension zones numerically, providing continuous feedback between 0% and 100% (and beyond if extended).
🔶 2. What the Script Does
The indicator:
Automatically detects recent high and low levels using an adaptive lookback window, which depends on ATR volatility.
Calculates the current price’s position between those levels as a percentage (0–100).
Plots that percentage as an oscillator — showing visually whether price is near the top, middle, or bottom of its recent range.
Overlays Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) as reference zones.
Generates alerts when the oscillator crosses key Fib thresholds — which can signal retracement completion, breakout potential, or pullback exhaustion.
🔶 3. Technical Flow Breakdown
(a) Inputs
Input Description Default Notes
atrLength ATR period used for volatility estimation 14 Used to dynamically tune lookback sensitivity
minLookback Minimum lookback window (candles) 20 Ensures stability even in low volatility
maxLookback Maximum lookback window 100 Limits over-expansion during high volatility
isInverse Inverts chart orientation false Useful for inverse markets (e.g. shorts or inverse BTC view)
(b) Volatility-Adaptive Lookback
Instead of using a fixed lookback, it calculates:
lookback
=
SMA(ATR,10)
/
SMA(Close,10)
×
500
lookback=SMA(ATR,10)/SMA(Close,10)×500
Then it clamps this between minLookback and maxLookback.
This makes the oscillator:
More reactive during high volatility (shorter lookback)
More stable during calm markets (longer lookback)
Essentially, it self-adjusts to market rhythm — you don’t have to constantly tweak lookback manually.
(c) High-Low Reference Points
It takes the highest and lowest points within the dynamic lookback window.
If isInverse = true, it flips the candle logic (useful if viewing inverse instruments like stablecoin pairs or when analyzing bearish setups invertedly).
(d) Oscillator Core
The main oscillator line:
osc
=
(
close
−
low
)
(
high
−
low
)
×
100
osc=
(high−low)
(close−low)
×100
0% = Price is at the lookback low.
100% = Price is at the lookback high.
50% = Midpoint (balanced).
Between Fibonacci percentages (23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, etc.), the oscillator indicates retracement stages.
(e) Fibonacci Levels as Reference
It overlays horizontal reference lines at:
0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%
These act as support/resistance bands in oscillator space.
You can read it similar to how traders use Fibonacci retracements on charts, but compressed into a single line oscillator.
(f) Alerts
The script includes built-in alert conditions for crossovers at each major Fibonacci level.
You can set TradingView alerts such as:
“Oscillator crossed above 61.8%” → possible bullish continuation or breakout.
“Oscillator crossed below 38.2%” → possible pullback or correction starting.
This allows automated monitoring of fib retracement completions without manually drawing fib levels.
🔶 4. How to Use It
🔸 Visual Interpretation
Oscillator Value Zone Market Context
0–23.6% Deep Retracement Potential exhaustion of a down-move / early reversal
23.6–38.2% Shallow retracement zone Possible continuation phase
38.2–50% Mid retracement Neutral or indecisive structure
50–61.8% Key pivot region Common trend resumption zone
61.8–78.6% Late retracement Often “last pullback” area
78.6–100% Near high range Possible overextension / profit-taking
>100% Range breakout New leg formation / expansion
🔸 Practical Application Steps
Load the indicator on your chart (set overlay = false, so it’s below the main price chart).
Observe oscillator position relative to fib bands:
Use it to determine retracement depth.
Combine with structure tools:
Trend lines, swing points, or HTF market structure.
Use crossovers for timing:
Crossing above 61.8% in an uptrend often confirms breakout continuation.
Crossing below 38.2% in a downtrend signals renewed downside momentum.
For range markets, oscillator swings between 23.6% and 78.6% can define accumulation/distribution boundaries.
🔶 5. When to Use It
During Retracements: To gauge how deep the pullback has gone.
During Range Markets: To identify relative overbought/oversold positions.
Before Breakouts: Crossovers of 61.8% or 78.6% often precede impulsive moves.
In Multi-Timeframe Contexts:
LTF (15M–1H): Detect intraday retracement exhaustion.
HTF (4H–1D): Confirm major range expansions or key reversal zones.
🔶 6. Ideal Companion Indicators
The Fib Oscillator works best when contextualized with structure, volatility, and trend bias indicators.
Below are optimal pairings:
Companion Indicator Purpose Integration Insight
Market Structure MTF Tool Identify active trend direction Use Fib Oscillator only in trend direction for cleaner signals
EMA Ribbon / Supertrend Trend confirmation Align oscillator crossovers with EMA bias
ATR Bands / Volatility Envelope Validate breakout strength If oscillator >78.6% & ATR rising → valid breakout
Volume Oscillator Confirm retracement strength Volume contraction + oscillator under 38.2% → potential reversal
HTF Fib Retracement Tool Combine LTF oscillator with HTF fib confluence Powerful multi-timeframe setups
RSI or Stochastic Measure momentum relative to position RSI divergence while oscillator near 78.6% → exhaustion clue
🔶 7. Understanding the Settings
Setting Function Practical Impact
ATR Period (14) Controls volatility sampling Higher = smoother lookback adaptation
Min Lookback (20) Smallest window allowed Lower = more reactive but noisier
Max Lookback (100) Largest window allowed Higher = smoother but slower to react
Inverse Candle Chart Flips oscillator vertically Useful when analyzing bearish or inverse scenarios (e.g. short-side fib mapping)
Recommended Configs:
For scalping/intraday: ATR 10–14, lookback 20–50
For swing/position trading: ATR 14–21, lookback 50–100
🔶 8. Example Trade Logic (Practical Use)
Scenario: Uptrend on 4H chart
Oscillator drops to below 38.2% → retracement zone
Price consolidates → oscillator stabilizes
Oscillator crosses above 50% → pullback ending
Entry: Long when oscillator crosses above 61.8%
Exit: Near 78.6–100% zone or upon divergence with RSI
For Short Bias (Inverse Setup):
Enable isInverse = true to visually flip the oscillator (so lows become highs).
Use the same thresholds inversely.
🔶 9. Strengths & Limitations
✅ Strengths
Dynamic, self-adapting to volatility
Quantifies Fib retracement as a continuous function
Compact oscillator view (no clutter on chart)
Works well across all timeframes
Compatible with both trending and ranging markets
⚠️ Limitations
Doesn’t define trend direction — must be used with structure filters
Can whipsaw during choppy consolidations
The “lookback auto-adjust” may lag in sudden volatility shifts
Shouldn’t be used standalone for entries without structural confluence
🔶 10. Summary
The “Fib Oscillator” is a dynamic Fibonacci-relative positioning tool that merges retracement theory with adaptive volatility logic.
It gives traders an intuitive, quantified view of where price sits within its recent fib range, allowing anticipation of pullbacks, reversals, or breakout momentum.
Think of it as a "Fibonacci RSI", but instead of momentum strength, it shows positional depth — the vibrational location of price within its natural swing cycle.

PheeTrades - Value Area Levels (VAH / VAL / POC Visualizer)This script helps traders quickly visualize key Volume Profile–style levels such as Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and Point of Control (POC) using recent price and volume data.
While TradingView’s built-in Volume Profile tool is great for manual analysis, this indicator automatically calculates and plots approximate value zones directly on your chart — ideal for traders who want to identify high-probability support and resistance areas without drawing a fixed range every time.
Features:
Calculates short-term VAH, VAL, and POC based on a user-defined lookback period.
Plots color-coded levels for quick visual reference.
Helps identify “fair value” zones where most trading activity occurred.
Useful for detecting breakout or mean-reversion opportunities around value extremes.
How to use:
Apply the script to any chart and set your preferred lookback period.
VAH (red line): potential upper resistance or overbought zone.
VAL (green line): potential lower support or accumulation zone.
POC (orange line): price level with the highest traded activity — often a magnet for price.
Note:
This is a simplified Value Area model meant for educational and analytical use. It does not replace TradingView’s official Volume Profile or broker-level volume distribution data.
saodisengxiaoyu-lianghua-2.1- This indicator is a modular, signal-building framework designed to generate long and short signals by combining a chosen leading indicator with selectable confirmation filters. It runs on Pine Script version 5, overlays directly on price, and is built to be highly configurable so traders can tailor the signal logic to their market, timeframe, and trading style. It includes a dashboard to visualize which conditions are active and whether they validate a signal, and it outputs clear buy/sell labels and alert conditions so you can automate or monitor trades with confidence.
Core Design
- Leading Indicator: You choose one primary signal generator from a broad list (for example, Range Filter, Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Ichimoku, and many others). This serves as the anchor of the system and determines when a preliminary long or short setup exists.
- Confirmation Filters: You can enable additional filters that validate the leading signal before it becomes actionable. Each “respect…” input toggles a filter on or off. These filters include popular tools like EMA, 2/3 EMA crosses, RQK (Nadaraya Watson), ADX/DMI, Bollinger-based oscillators, MACD variations, QQE, Hull, VWAP, Choppiness Index, Damiani Volatility, and more.
- Signal Expiry: To avoid waiting indefinitely for confirmations, the indicator counts how many consecutive bars the leading condition holds. If confirmations do not align within a defined number of bars, the setup expires. This controls latency and helps reduce late or stale entries.
- Alternating Signals: An optional mode enforces alternation (long must follow short and vice versa), helping avoid repeated entries in the same direction without a meaningful reset.
- Aggregation Logic: The final long/short conditions are formed by combining the leading condition with all selected confirmation filters through logical conjunction. Only if all enabled filters validate the signal (within expiry constraints) does the indicator consider it a confirmed long or short.
- Visualization and Alerts: The script plots buy/sell labels at signal points, provides alert conditions for automation, and displays a compact dashboard summarizing the leading indicator’s status and each confirmation’s pass/fail result using checkmarks.
Leading Indicator Options
- The indicator includes a very large menu of leading tools, each with its own logic to determine uptrend or downtrend impulses. Highlights include:
- Range Filter: Uses a dynamic centerline and bands computed via conditional EMA/SMA and range sizing to define directional movement. It can operate in a default mode or an alternative “DW” mode.
- Rational Quadratic Kernel (RQK): Applies a kernel smoothing model (Nadaraya Watson) to detect uptrends and downtrends with a focus on noise reduction.
- Supertrend, Half Trend, SSL Channel: Classic trend-following tools that derive direction from ATR-based bands or moving average channels.
- Ichimoku Cloud and SuperIchi: Multi-component systems validating trend via cloud position, conversion/base line relationships, projected cloud, and lagging span.
- TSI (True Strength Index), DPO (Detrended Price Oscillator), AO (Awesome Oscillator), MACD, STC (Schaff Trend Cycle), QQE Mod: Momentum and cycle tools that parse direction from crossovers, zero-line behavior, and momentum shifts.
- Donchian Trend Ribbon, Chandelier Exit: Trend and exit tools that can validate breakouts or sustained trend strength.
- ADX/DMI: Measures trend strength and directional movement via +DI/-DI relationships and minimum ADX thresholds.
- RSI and Stochastic: Use crossovers, level exits, or threshold filters to gate entries based on overbought/oversold dynamics or relative strength trends.
- Vortex, Chaikin Money Flow, VWAP, Bull Bear Power, ROC, Wolfpack Id, Hull Suite: A diverse set of directional, momentum, and volume-based indicators to suit different markets and styles.
- Trendline Breakout and Range Detector: Price-behavior filters that confirm signals during breakouts or within defined ranges.
Confirmation Filters
- Each filter is optional. When enabled, it must validate the leading condition for a signal to pass. Examples:
- EMA Filter: Requires price to be above a specified EMA for longs and below for shorts, filtering signals that contradict broader trend or baseline levels.
- 2 EMA Cross and 3 EMA Cross: Enforce moving average cross conditions (fast above slow for long, the reverse for short) or a three-line stacking logic for more stringent trend alignment.
- RQK, Supertrend, Half Trend, Donchian, QQE, Hull, MACD (crossover vs. zero-line), AO (zero line or AC momentum variants), SSL: Each adds its characteristic validation pattern.
- RSI family (MA cross, exits OB/OS zones, threshold levels) plus RSI MA direction and RSI/RSI MA limits: Multiple ways to constrain signals via relative strength behavior and trajectories.
- Choppiness Index and Damiani Volatility: Prevent entries during ranging conditions or insufficient volatility; choppiness thresholds and volatility states gate the trade.
- VWAP, Volume modes (above MA, simple up/down, delta), Chaikin Money Flow: Volume and flow conditions that ensure signals happen in supportive liquidity or accumulation/distribution contexts.
- ADX/DMI thresholds: Demand a minimum trend strength and directional DI alignment to reduce whipsaw trades.
- Trendline Breakout and Range Detector: Confirm that the price is breaking structure or remains within active range consistent with the leading setup.
- By combining several filters you can create strict, conservative entries or looser setups depending on your goals.
Range Filter Engine
- A core building block, the Range Filter uses conditional EMA and SMA functions to compute adaptive bands around a dynamic centerline. It supports two types:
- Type 1: The centerline updates when price exceeds the band thresholds; bands define acceptable drift ranges.
- Type 2: Uses quantized steps (via floor operations) relative to the previous centerline to handle larger moves in discrete increments.
- The engine offers smoothing for range values using a secondary EMA and can switch between raw and averaged outputs. Its hi/lo bands and centerline compose a corridor that defines directional movement and potential breakout confirmation.
Signal Construction
- The script computes:
- leadinglongcond and leadingshortcond : The primary directional signals from the chosen leading indicator.
- longCond and shortCond : Final signals formed by combining the leading conditions with all enabled confirmations. Each confirmation contributes a boolean gate. If a filter is disabled, it contributes a neutral pass-through, keeping the logic intact without enforcing that condition.
- Expiry Logic: The code counts consecutive bars where the leading condition remains true. If confirmations do not line up within the user-defined “Signal Expiry Candle Count,” the setup is abandoned and the signal does not trigger.
- Alternation: An optional state ensures that long and short signals alternate. This can reduce repeated entries in the same direction without a clear reset.
- Finally, longCondition and shortCondition represent the actionable signals after expiry and alternation logic. These drive the label plotting and alert conditions.
Visualization
- Buy and Sell Labels: When longCondition or shortCondition confirm, the script plots annotated labels directly on the chart, making entries easy to see at a glance. The labels use color coding and clear text tags (“long” vs. “short”).
- Dashboard: A table summarizes the status of the leading indicator and all confirmations. Each row shows the indicator label and whether it passed (✔️) or failed (❌) on the current bar. This intensely practical UI helps you diagnose why a signal did or did not trigger, empowering faster strategy iteration and parameter tuning.
- Failed Confirmation Markers: If a setup expires (count exceeds the limit) and confirmations failed to align, the script can mark the chart with a small label and provide a tooltip listing which confirmations did not pass. It’s a helpful audit trail to understand missed trades or prevent “chasing” invalid signals.
- Data Window Values: The script outputs signal states to the data window, which can be useful for debugging or building composite conditions in multi-indicator templates.
Inputs and Parameters
- You control the indicator from a comprehensive input panel:
- Setup: Signal expiry count, whether to enforce alternating signals, and whether to display labels and the dashboard (including position and size).
- Leading Indicator: Choose the primary signal generator from the large list.
- Per-Filter Toggles: For each confirmation, a respect... toggle enables or disables it. Many include sub-options (like MACD type, Stochastic mode, RSI mode, ADX variants, thresholds for choppiness/volatility, etc.) to fine-tune behavior.
- Range Filter Settings: Choose type and behavior; select default vs. DW mode and smoothing. The underlying functions adjust band sizes using ATR, average change, standard deviation, or user-defined scales.
- Because everything is customizable, you can adapt the indicator to different assets, volatility regimes, and timeframes.
Alerts and Automation
- The script defines alert conditions tied to longCondition and shortCondition . You can set these alerts in your chart to trigger notifications or webhook calls for automated execution in external bots. The alert text is simple, and you can configure your own message template when creating alerts in the chart, including JSON payloads for algorithmic integration.
Typical Workflow
- Select a Leading Indicator aligned with your style. For trend following, Supertrend or SSL may be appropriate; for momentum, MACD or TSI; for range/trend-change detection, Range Filter, RQK, or Donchian.
- Add a few key Confirmation Filters that complement the leading signal. For example:
- Pair Supertrend with EMA Filter and RSI MA Direction to ensure trend alignment and positive momentum.
- Combine MACD Crossover with ADX/DMI and Volume Above MA to avoid signals in low-trend or low-liquidity conditions.
- Use RQK with Choppiness Index and Damiani Volatility to only act when the market is trending and volatile enough.
- Set a sensible Signal Expiry Candle Count. Shorter expiry keeps entries timely and reduces lag; longer expiry captures setups that mature slowly.
- Observe the Dashboard during live markets to see which filters pass or fail, then iterate. Tighten or loosen thresholds and filter combinations as needed.
- For automation, turn on alerts for the final conditions and use webhook payloads to notify your trading robot.
Strengths and Practical Notes
- Flexibility: The indicator is a toolkit rather than a single rigid model. It lets you test different combinations rapidly and visualize outcomes immediately.
- Clarity: Labels, dashboard, and failed-confirmation markers make it easy to audit behavior and refine settings without digging into code.
- Robustness: The expiry and alternation options add discipline, avoiding the temptation to enter late or repeatedly in one direction without a reset.
- Modular Design: The logical gates (“respect…”) make the behavior transparent: if a filter is on, it must pass; if it’s off, the signal ignores it. This keeps reasoning clean.
- Avoiding Overfitting: Because you can stack many filters, it’s tempting to over-constrain signals. Start simple (one leading indicator and one or two confirmations). Add complexity only if it demonstrably improves your edge across varied market regimes.
Limitations and Recommendations
- No single configuration is universally optimal. Markets change; tune filters for the instrument and timeframe you trade and revisit settings periodically.
- Trend filters can underperform in choppy markets; likewise, momentum filters can false-trigger in quiet periods. Consider using Choppiness Index or Damiani to gate signals by regime.
- Use expiry wisely. Too short may miss good setups that need a few bars to confirm; too long may cause late entries. Balance responsiveness and accuracy.
- Always consider risk management externally (position sizing, stops, profit targets). The indicator focuses on signal quality; combining it with robust trade management methods will improve results.
Example Configurations
- Trend-Following Setup:
- Leading: Supertrend uptrend for longs and downtrend for shorts.
- Confirmations: EMA Filter (price above 200 EMA for long, below for short), ADX/DMI (trend strength above threshold with +DI/-DI alignment), Volume Above MA.
- Expiry: 3–4 bars to keep entries timely.
- Result: Strong bias toward sustained moves while avoiding weak trends and thin liquidity.
- Mean-Reversion to Momentum Crossover:
- Leading: RSI exits from OB/OS zones (e.g., RSI leaves oversold for long and leaves overbought for short).
- Confirmations: 2 EMA Cross (fast crossing slow in the same direction), MACD zero-line behavior for added momentum validation.
- Expiry: 2–3 bars for responsive re-entry.
- Result: Captures momentum transitions after short-term extremes, with extra confirmation to reduce head-fakes.
- Range Breakout Focus:
- Leading: Range Filter Type 2 or Donchian Trend Ribbon to detect breakouts.
- Confirmations: Damiani Volatility (avoid low-volatility false breaks), Choppiness Index (prefer trend-ready states), ROC positive/negative threshold.
- Expiry: 1–3 bars to act on breakout windows.
- Result: Better alignment to breakout dynamics, gating trades by volatility and regime.
Conclusion
- This indicator is a comprehensive, configurable framework that merges a chosen leading signal with an array of corroborating filters, disciplined expiry handling, and intuitive visualization. It’s designed to help you build high-quality entry signals tailored to your approach, whether that’s trend-following, breakout trading, momentum capturing, or a hybrid. By surfacing pass/fail states in a dashboard and allowing alert-based automation, it bridges the gap between discretionary analysis and systematic execution. With sensible parameter tuning and thoughtful filter selection, it can serve as a robust backbone for signal generation across diverse instruments and timeframes.
Pivot Regime Anchored VWAP [CHE] Pivot Regime Anchored VWAP — Detects body-based pivot regimes to classify swing highs and lows, anchoring volume-weighted average price lines directly at higher highs and lower lows for adaptive reference levels.
Summary
This indicator identifies shifts between top and bottom regimes through breakouts in candle body highs and lows, labeling swing points as higher highs, lower highs, lower lows, or higher lows. It then draws anchored volume-weighted average price lines starting from the most recent higher high and lower low, providing dynamic support and resistance that evolve with volume flow. These anchored lines differ from standard volume-weighted averages by resetting only at confirmed swing extremes, reducing noise in ranging markets while highlighting momentum shifts in trends.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often struggle with static reference lines that fail to adapt to changing market structures, leading to false breaks in volatile conditions or missed continuations in trends. By anchoring volume-weighted average price calculations to body pivot regimes—specifically at higher highs for resistance and lower lows for support—this design creates reference levels tied directly to price structure extremes. This approach addresses the problem of generic moving averages lagging behind swing confirmations, offering a more context-aware tool for intraday or swing trading.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline reference: Traditional volume-weighted average price indicators compute a running total from session start or fixed periods, often ignoring price structure.
- Architecture differences:
- Regime detection via body breakout logic switches between high and low focus dynamically.
- Anchoring limited to confirmed higher highs and lower lows, with historical recalculation for accurate line drawing.
- Polyline rendering rebuilds only on the last bar to manage performance.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer, more meaningful lines that start at swing points, making it easier to spot confluences with structure breaks rather than cluttered overlays from continuous calculations.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first calculates the maximum and minimum of each candle's open and close to define body highs and lows. It then scans a lookback window for the highest body high and lowest body low. A top regime triggers when the body high from the lookback period exceeds the window's highest, and a bottom regime when the body low falls below the window's lowest. These regime shifts confirm pivots only when crossing from one state to the other.
For top pivots, it compares the new body high against the previous swing high: if greater, it marks a higher high and anchors a new line; otherwise, a lower high. The same logic applies inversely for bottom pivots. Anchored lines use cumulative price-volume products and volumes from the anchor bar onward, subtracting prior cumulatives to isolate the segment. On pivot confirmation, it loops backward from the current bar to the anchor, computing and storing points for the line. New points append as bars advance, ensuring the line reflects ongoing volume weighting.
Initialization uses persistent variables to track the last swing values and anchor bars, starting with neutral states. Data flows from regime detection to pivot classification, then to anchoring and point accumulation, with lines rendered globally on the final bar.
Parameter Guide
Pivot Length — Controls the lookback window for detecting body breakouts, influencing pivot frequency and sensitivity to recent action. Shorter values catch more pivots in choppy conditions; longer smooths for major swings. Default: 30 (bars). Trade-offs/Tips: Min 1; for intraday, try 10–20 to reduce lag but watch for noise; on daily, 50+ for stability.
Show Pivot Labels — Toggles display of text markers at swing points, aiding quick identification of higher highs, lower highs, lower lows, or higher lows. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in multi-indicator setups to declutter; useful for backtesting structure.
HH Color — Sets the line and label color for higher high anchored lines, distinguishing resistance levels. Default: Red (solid). Trade-offs/Tips: Choose contrasting hues for dark/light themes; pair with opacity for fills if added later.
LL Color — Sets the line and label color for lower low anchored lines, distinguishing support levels. Default: Lime (solid). Trade-offs/Tips: As above; green shades work well for bullish contexts without overpowering candles.
Reading & Interpretation
Higher high labels and red lines indicate potential resistance zones where volume weighting begins at a new swing top, suggesting sellers may defend prior highs. Lower low labels and lime lines mark support from a fresh swing bottom, with the line's slope reflecting buyer commitment via volume. Lower highs or higher lows appear as labels without new anchors, signaling possible range-bound action. Line proximity to price shows overextension; crosses may hint at regime shifts, but confirm with volume spikes.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter longs above a rising lower low anchored line after higher low confirmation; filter with rising higher highs for uptrends. Use line breaks as trailing stops.
- Exits/Stops: In downtrends, exit shorts below a higher high line; set aggressive stops above it for scalps, conservative below for swings. Pair with momentum oscillators for divergence.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 1H–4H; on crypto 15M, shorten length to 15. Scale colors for dark themes; combine with higher timeframe anchors for confluence.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar logic ensures pivots confirm after the lookback period, with no repainting on historical bars—live bars may adjust until regime shift. No higher timeframe calls, so minimal repaint risk beyond standard delays. Resources include a 2000-bar history limit, label/polyline caps at 200/50, and loops for historical point filling (up to current bar count from anchor, typically under 500 iterations). Known limits: In extreme gaps or low-volume periods, anchors may skew; lines absent until first pivots.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the 30-bar length for balanced pivot detection across most assets. For too-frequent pivots in ranges, increase to 50 for fewer signals. If lines lag in trends, reduce to 20 and enable labels for visual cues. In low-volatility assets, widen color contrasts; test on 100-bar history to verify stability.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a structure-aware visualization layer for anchoring volume-weighted references at swing extremes, enhancing manual analysis of regimes and levels. It is not a standalone signal generator or predictive model—always integrate with broader context like order flow or news. Use alongside risk management and position sizing, not as isolated buy/sell triggers.
Many thanks to LuxAlgo for the original script "McDonald's Pattern ". The implementation for body pivots instead of wicks uses a = max(open, close), b = min(open, close) and then highest(a, length) / lowest(b, length). This filters noise from the wicks and detects breakouts over/under bodies. Unusual and targeted, super innovative.

Historical Matrix Analyzer [PhenLabs]📊Historical Matrix Analyzer
Version: PineScriptv6
📌Description
The Historical Matrix Analyzer is an advanced probabilistic trading tool that transforms technical analysis into a data-driven decision support system. By creating a comprehensive 56-cell matrix that tracks every combination of RSI states and multi-indicator conditions, this indicator reveals which market patterns have historically led to profitable outcomes and which have not.
At its core, the indicator continuously monitors seven distinct RSI states (ranging from Extreme Oversold to Extreme Overbought) and eight unique indicator combinations (MACD direction, volume levels, and price momentum). For each of these 56 possible market states, the system calculates average forward returns, win rates, and occurrence counts based on your configurable lookback period. The result is a color-coded probability matrix that shows you exactly where you stand in the historical performance landscape.
The standout feature is the Current State Panel, which provides instant clarity on your active market conditions. This panel displays signal strength classifications (from Strong Bullish to Strong Bearish), the average return percentage for similar past occurrences, an estimated win rate using Bayesian smoothing to prevent small-sample distortions, and a confidence level indicator that warns you when insufficient data exists for reliable conclusions.

📖Usage Guidelines
RSI Period
Default: 14
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Controls the lookback period for RSI momentum calculation. Standard 14-period provides widely-recognized overbought/oversold levels. Decrease for faster, more sensitive RSI reactions suitable for scalping. Increase (21, 28) for smoother, longer-term momentum assessment in swing trading. Changes affect how quickly the indicator moves between the 7 RSI state classifications.
MACD Fast Length
Default: 12
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Sets the faster exponential moving average for MACD calculation. Standard 12-period setting works well for daily charts and captures short-term momentum shifts. Decreasing creates more responsive MACD crossovers but increases false signals. Increasing smooths out noise but delays signal generation, affecting the bullish/bearish indicator state classification.
MACD Slow Length
Default: 26
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Defines the slower exponential moving average for MACD calculation. Traditional 26-period setting balances trend identification with responsiveness. Must be greater than Fast Length. Wider spread between fast and slow increases MACD sensitivity to trend changes, impacting the frequency of indicator state transitions in the matrix.
MACD Signal Length
Default: 9
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Smoothing period for the MACD signal line that triggers bullish/bearish state changes. Standard 9-period provides reliable crossover signals. Shorter values create more frequent state changes and earlier signals but with more whipsaws. Longer values produce more confirmed, stable signals but with increased lag in detecting momentum shifts.
Volume MA Period
Default: 20
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Lookback period for volume moving average used to classify volume as “high” or “low” in indicator state combinations. 20-period default captures typical monthly trading patterns. Shorter periods (10-15) make volume classification more reactive to recent spikes. Longer periods (30-50) require more sustained volume changes to trigger state classification shifts.
Statistics Lookback Period
Default: 200
Range: 50 to 500
Description: Number of historical bars used to calculate matrix statistics. 200 bars provides substantial data for reliable patterns while remaining responsive to regime changes. Lower values (50-100) emphasize recent market behavior and adapt quickly but may produce volatile statistics. Higher values (300-500) capture long-term patterns with stable statistics but slower adaptation to changing market dynamics.
Forward Performance Bars
Default: 5
Range: 1 to 20
Description: Number of bars ahead used to calculate forward returns from each historical state occurrence. 5-bar default suits intraday to short-term swing trading (5 hours on hourly charts, 1 week on daily charts). Lower values (1-3) target short-term momentum trades. Higher values (10-20) align with position trading and longer-term pattern exploitation.
Color Intensity Sensitivity
Default: 2.0
Range: 0.5 to 5.0, step 0.5
Description: Amplifies or dampens the color intensity response to average return magnitudes in the matrix heat map. 2.0 default provides balanced visual emphasis. Lower values (0.5-1.0) create subtle coloring requiring larger returns for full saturation, useful for volatile instruments. Higher values (3.0-5.0) produce vivid colors from smaller returns, highlighting subtle edges in range-bound markets.
Minimum Occurrences for Coloring
Default: 3
Range: 1 to 10
Description: Required minimum sample size before applying color-coded performance to matrix cells. Cells with fewer occurrences display gray “insufficient data” warning. 3-occurrence default filters out rare patterns. Lower threshold (1-2) shows more data but includes unreliable single-event statistics. Higher thresholds (5-10) ensure only well-established patterns receive visual emphasis.
Table Position
Default: top_right
Options: top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right
Description: Screen location for the 56-cell statistics matrix table. Position to avoid overlapping critical price action or other indicators on your chart. Consider chart orientation and candlestick density when selecting optimal placement.
Show Current State Panel
Default: true
Options: true, false
Description: Toggle visibility of the dedicated current state information panel. When enabled, displays signal strength, RSI value, indicator status, average return, estimated win rate, and confidence level for active market conditions. Disable to declutter charts when only the matrix table is needed.
Info Panel Position
Default: bottom_left
Options: top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right
Description: Screen location for the current state information panel (when enabled). Position independently from statistics matrix to optimize chart real estate. Typically placed opposite the matrix table for balanced visual layout.
Win Rate Smoothing Strength
Default: 5
Range: 1 to 20
Description: Controls Bayesian prior weighting for estimated win rate calculations. Acts as virtual sample size assuming 50% win rate baseline. Default 5 provides moderate smoothing preventing extreme win rate estimates from small samples. Lower values (1-3) reduce smoothing effect, allowing win rates to reflect raw data more directly. Higher values (10-20) increase conservatism, pulling win rate estimates toward 50% until substantial evidence accumulates.
✅Best Use Cases
Pattern-based discretionary trading where you want historical confirmation before entering setups that “look good” based on current technical alignment
Swing trading with holding periods matching your forward performance bar setting, using high-confidence bullish cells as entry filters
Risk assessment and position sizing, allocating larger size to trades originating from cells with strong positive average returns and high estimated win rates
Market regime identification by observing which RSI states and indicator combinations are currently producing the most reliable historical patterns
Backtesting validation by comparing your manual strategy signals against the historical performance of the corresponding matrix cells
Educational tool for developing intuition about which technical condition combinations have actually worked versus those that feel right but lack historical evidence
⚠️Limitations
Historical patterns do not guarantee future performance, especially during unprecedented market events or regime changes not represented in the lookback period
Small sample sizes (low occurrence counts) produce unreliable statistics despite Bayesian smoothing, requiring caution when acting on low-confidence cells
Matrix statistics lag behind rapidly changing market conditions, as the lookback period must accumulate new state occurrences before updating performance data
Forward return calculations use fixed bar periods that may not align with actual trade exit timing, support/resistance levels, or volatility-adjusted profit targets
💡What Makes This Unique
Multi-Dimensional State Space: Unlike single-indicator tools, simultaneously tracks 56 distinct market condition combinations providing granular pattern resolution unavailable in traditional technical analysis
Bayesian Statistical Rigor: Implements proper probabilistic smoothing to prevent overconfidence from limited data, a critical feature missing from most pattern recognition tools
Real-Time Contextual Feedback: The “NOW” marker and dedicated info panel instantly connect current market conditions to their historical performance profile, eliminating guesswork
Transparent Occurrence Counts: Displays sample sizes directly in each cell, allowing traders to judge statistical reliability themselves rather than hiding data quality issues
Fully Customizable Analysis Window: Complete control over lookback depth and forward return horizons lets traders align the tool precisely with their trading timeframe and strategy requirements
🔬How It Works
1. State Classification and Encoding
Each bar’s RSI value is evaluated and assigned to one of 7 discrete states based on threshold levels (0: <20, 1: 20-30, 2: 30-40, 3: 40-60, 4: 60-70, 5: 70-80, 6: >80)
Simultaneously, three binary conditions are evaluated: MACD line position relative to signal line, current volume relative to its moving average, and current close relative to previous close
These three binary conditions are combined into a single indicator state integer (0-7) using binary encoding, creating 8 possible indicator combinations
The RSI state and indicator state are stored together, defining one of 56 possible market condition cells in the matrix
2. Historical Data Accumulation
As each bar completes, the current state classification, closing price, and bar index are stored in rolling arrays maintained at the size specified by the lookback period
When the arrays reach capacity, the oldest data point is removed and the newest added, creating a sliding historical window
This continuous process builds a comprehensive database of past market conditions and their subsequent price movements
3. Forward Return Calculation and Statistics Update
On each bar, the indicator looks back through the stored historical data to find bars where sufficient forward bars exist to measure outcomes
For each historical occurrence, the price change from that bar to the bar N periods ahead (where N is the forward performance bars setting) is calculated as a percentage return
This percentage return is added to the cumulative return total for the specific matrix cell corresponding to that historical bar’s state classification
Occurrence counts are incremented, and wins are tallied for positive returns, building comprehensive statistics for each of the 56 cells
The Bayesian smoothing formula combines these raw statistics with prior assumptions (neutral 50% win rate) weighted by the smoothing strength parameter to produce estimated win rates that remain stable even with small samples
💡Note:
The Historical Matrix Analyzer is designed as a decision support tool, not a standalone trading system. Best results come from using it to validate discretionary trade ideas or filter systematic strategy signals. Always combine matrix insights with proper risk management, position sizing rules, and awareness of broader market context. The estimated win rate feature uses Bayesian statistics specifically to prevent false confidence from limited data, but no amount of smoothing can create reliable predictions from fundamentally insufficient sample sizes. Focus on high-confidence cells (green-colored confidence indicators) with occurrence counts well above your minimum threshold for the most actionable insights.
Hyper Strength Index | QuantLapse🧠 Hyper Strength Index (HSI) | QuantLapse
Overview:
The Hyper Strength Index (HSI) is a composite momentum oscillator designed to unify multiple strength measures into a single, adaptive framework. It combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO), Money Flow Index (MFI), and Stochastic RSI to deliver a refined, multidimensional view of market momentum and overbought/oversold conditions.
Unlike traditional oscillators that rely on a single formula, the HSI averages four distinct momentum perspectives — price velocity, directional conviction, volume participation, and stochastic behavior — offering traders a more balanced and noise-resistant reading of market strength.
⚙️ Calculation Logic:
The Hyper Strength Index is computed as the normalized average of:
📈 RSI — classic measure of relative momentum.
💪 CMO — captures directional bias and intensity of moves.
💵 MFI — integrates volume and money flow pressure.
🔄 Stochastic RSI (K-line) — identifies momentum extremes and short-term turning points.
This fusion creates a smoother, more comprehensive signal, mitigating the weaknesses of any single oscillator.
🎯 Interpretation:
Overbought Zone (Default: > 75):
Indicates potential exhaustion of bullish momentum — a cooling phase or reversal may follow.
Oversold Zone (Default: < 7):
Suggests bearish exhaustion — a rebound or accumulation phase may emerge.
Neutral Zone (Between 7 and 75):
Represents balanced market conditions or trend continuation phases.
Visual cues highlight key conditions:
🔺 Red Highlights — Overbought regions or downward inflection points.
🔻 Green Highlights — Oversold regions or upward inflection points.
Neutral zones are shaded with subtle gray backgrounds for clarity.
💡 Key Features:
🔹 Multi-factor strength analysis (RSI + CMO + MFI + StochRSI).
🔹 Adaptive overbought/oversold detection.
🔹 Visual alerts via colored backgrounds and bar markers.
🔹 Customizable smoothing and length parameters for fine-tuning sensitivity.
🔹 Intuitive visualization ideal for both short-term scalping and swing trading setups.
🧭 Usage Notes:
Works best as a momentum confirmation tool — pair with trend filters like EMA, SuperTrend, or ADX.
In trending markets, use crossovers from extreme zones as potential continuation or exhaustion signals.
In ranging markets, exploit overbought/oversold reversals for high-probability mean reversion trades.
📘 Summary:
The Hyper Strength Index | QuantLapse distills multiple dimensions of market strength into a single, cohesive oscillator. By merging price, volume, and directional momentum, it provides traders with a more robust, responsive, and context-aware perspective on market dynamics — a next-generation evolution beyond the limitations of RSI or CMO alone.
Smart Money Dynamics Blocks — Pearson MatrixSmart Money Dynamics Blocks — Pearson Matrix
A structural fusion of Prime Number Theory, Pearson Correlation, and Cumulative Delta Geometry.
1. Mathematical Foundation
This indicator is built on the intersection of Prime Number Theory and the Pearson correlation coefficient, creating a structural framework that quantifies how price and time evolve together.
Prime numbers — unique, indivisible, and irregular — are used here as nonlinear time intervals. Each prime length (2, 3, 5, 7, 11…97) represents a regression horizon where correlation is measured between price and time. The result is a multi-scale correlation lattice — a geometric matrix that captures hidden directional strength and temporal bias beyond traditional moving averages.
2. The Pearson Matrix Logic
For every prime interval p, the indicator calculates the linear correlation:
r_p = corr(price, bar_index, p)
Each r_p reflects how closely price and time move together across a prime-defined window. All r_p values are then averaged to create avgR, a single adaptive coefficient summarizing overall structural coherence.
- When avgR > 0.8 → strong positive correlation (labeled R+).
- When avgR < -0.8 → strong negative correlation (labeled R−).
This approach gives a mathematically grounded definition of trend — one that isn’t based on pattern recognition, but on measurable correlation strength.
3. Sequential Prime Slope and Median Pivot
Using the ordered sequence of 25 prime intervals, the model computes sequential slopes between adjacent primes. These slopes represent the rate of change of structure between two prime scales. A robust median aggregator smooths the slopes, producing a clean, stable directional vector.
The system anchors this slope to the 41-bar pivot — the median of the first 25 primes — serving as the geometric midpoint of the prime lattice. The resulting yellow line on the chart is not an ordinary regression line; it’s a dynamic prime-slope function, adapting continuously with correlation feedback.
4. Regression-Style Parallel Bands
Around this prime-slope line, the indicator constructs parallel bands using standard deviation envelopes — conceptually similar to a regression channel but recalculated through the prime–Pearson matrix.
These bands adjust dynamically to:
- Volatility, via standard deviation of residuals.
- Correlation strength, via avgR sign weighting.
Together, they visualize statistical deviation geometry, making it easier to observe symmetry, expansion, and contraction phases of price structure.
5. Volume and Cumulative Delta Peaks
Below the geometric layer, the indicator incorporates a custom lower-timeframe volume feed — by default using 15-second data (custom_tf_input_volume = “15S”). This allows precise delta computation between up-volume and down-volume even on higher timeframe charts.
From this feed, the indicator accumulates delta over a configurable period (default: 100 bars). When cumulative delta reaches a local maximum or minimum, peak and trough markers appear, showing the precise bar where buying or selling pressure statistically peaked.
This combination of geometry and order flow reveals the intersection of market structure and energy — where liquidity pressure expresses itself through mathematical form.
6. Chart Interpretation
The primary chart view represents the live execution of the indicator. It displays the relationship between structural correlation and volume behavior in real time.
Orange “R+” and blue “R−” labels indicate regions of strong positive or negative Pearson correlation across the prime matrix. The yellow median prime-slope line serves as the structural backbone of the indicator, while green and red parallel bands act as dynamic regression boundaries derived from the underlying correlation strength. Peaks and troughs in cumulative delta — displayed as numerical annotations — mark statistically significant shifts in buying and selling pressure.
The secondary visualization (Prime Regression Concept) expands on this by illustrating how regression behavior evolves across prime intervals. Each colored regression fan corresponds to a prime number window (2, 3, 5, 7, …, 97), demonstrating how multiple regression lines would appear if drawn independently. The indicator integrates these into one unified geometric model — eliminating the need to plot tens of regression lines manually. It’s a conceptual tool to help visualize the internal logic: the synthesis of many small-scale regressions into a single coherent structure.
7. Interpretive Insight
This model is not a prediction tool; it’s an instrument of mathematical observation. By translating price dynamics into a prime-structured correlation space, it reveals how coherence unfolds through time — not as a forecast, but as a measurable evolution of structure.
It unifies three analytical domains:
- Prime distribution — defines a nonlinear temporal architecture.
- Pearson correlation — quantifies statistical cohesion.
- Cumulative delta — expresses behavioral imbalance in order flow.
The synthesis creates a geometric analysis of liquidity and time — where structure meets energy, and where the invisible rhythm of market flow becomes measurable.
8. Contribution & Feedback
Share your observations in the comments:
- The time gap and alternation between R+ and R− clusters.
- How different timeframes change delta sensitivity or reveal compression/expansion.
- Prime intervals/clusters that tend to sit near turning points or liquidity shifts.

Summary
- Primes define the structure.
- Pearson quantifies coherence.
- Slope median stabilizes geometry.
- Regression bands visualize deviation.
- Cumulative delta locates imbalance.
Together, they construct a framework where mathematics meets market behavior.
ICT HTF Volume Candles (Based on HTF Candles by Fadi)# ICT HTF Volume Candles - Multi-Timeframe Volume Analysis
## Overview
This indicator provides multi-timeframe volume visualization designed to complement price action analysis. It displays volume data from up to 6 higher timeframes simultaneously in a separate panel, allowing traders to identify volume spikes, divergences, and institutional activity without switching between timeframes.
**Original Concept Credits:** This indicator builds upon the HTF Candles framework by Fadi, adapting it specifically for volume analysis with enhanced features including gap-filling for extended hours, multiple scaling methods, and advanced synchronization.
## What Makes This Script Original
### Key Innovations:
1. **Three Volume Scaling Methods:**
- **Per-HTF Auto Scale:** Each timeframe scales independently for detailed comparison
- **Global Auto Scale:** All timeframes use unified scale for relative volume comparison
- **Manual Scale:** User-defined maximum for consistent analysis across sessions
2. **Bullish/Bearish Volume Differentiation:**
- Volume bars colored based on price movement (close vs open)
- Separate styling for bullish (green) and bearish (red) volume periods
- Helps identify whether volume supports price direction
3. **Advanced Time Synchronization:**
- Custom daily candle open times (Midnight, 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM ET)
- Timezone-aware calculations for New York trading hours
- Real-time countdown timers for each timeframe
- **Gap-filling technology** for continuous display during extended hours and weekends
4. **Flexible Display Options:**
- Configurable spacing and positioning
- Label placement (top, bottom, or both)
- Day-of-week or time interval labels on candles
- Works reliably in backtesting and live trading
## How It Works
### Volume Calculation
The indicator uses `request.security()` with optimized parameters to fetch volume data from higher timeframes:
- **Volume Open/High/Low/Close (OHLC):** Tracks volume changes within each HTF candle
- **Color Logic:** Compares HTF close vs open prices to determine bullish/bearish classification
- **Alignment:** All volume bars share a common baseline for easy visual comparison
- **Gap Handling:** Uses `gaps=barmerge.gaps_off` to maintain continuity during non-trading hours
### Technical Implementation
```
1. Monitors HTF timeframe changes using request.security() with lookahead
2. Creates new VolumeCandle object when HTF bar opens
3. Updates current candle's volume H/L/C on each chart bar
4. Applies selected scaling method to normalize display height
5. Repositions all candles and labels on each bar update
6. Fills gaps automatically during extended hours for consistent display
```
### Scaling Methods Explained
**Method 1 - Auto Scale per HTF:**
Each timeframe displays volume relative to its own maximum. Best for identifying patterns within each individual timeframe.
**Method 2 - Global Auto Scale:**
All timeframes share the same scale based on the highest volume across all HTFs. Best for comparing relative volume strength between timeframes.
**Method 3 - Manual Scale:**
User sets maximum volume value. Best for maintaining consistent scale across different trading sessions or instruments.
## How to Use This Indicator
### Setup
1. Add indicator to your chart (it appears in a separate panel below price)
2. Configure up to 6 higher timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W)
3. Set number of candles to display for each timeframe
4. Choose volume scaling method based on your analysis needs
5. Enable "Fix gaps in non-trading hours" for extended hours trading (enabled by default)
### Interpretation
**Volume Spikes:**
- Sudden increase in volume height indicates institutional activity or strong conviction
- Compare volume between timeframes to identify where the real money is moving
- Look for volume spikes that appear across multiple timeframes simultaneously
**Bullish vs Bearish Volume:**
- **Green volume bars:** Price closed higher (buying pressure)
- **Red volume bars:** Price closed lower (selling pressure)
- High green volume during uptrend = confirmation of strength
- High red volume during downtrend = confirmation of weakness
- High volume opposite to trend = potential reversal warning
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- **5m/15m:** Scalping and day trading activity
- **1H/4H:** Swing trading and intraday institutional flows
- **Daily/Weekly:** Major position building and long-term trends
**Divergences:**
- Price making new highs but volume declining = weakening trend
- Volume increasing while price consolidates = potential breakout brewing
- Price breaks level but volume doesn't confirm = likely false breakout
### Practical Examples
**Example 1 - Institutional Confirmation:**
Price breaks above resistance. Check volume across timeframes:
- 5m shows spike = retail interest
- 15m + 1H + 4H all show spikes = institutional confirmation
- **Trade confidence: HIGH**
**Example 2 - False Breakout Detection:**
Price breaks resistance with:
- High volume on 5m only
- Normal/low volume on 1H and 4H
- **Interpretation:** Likely retail trap, institutions not participating
- **Action:** Wait for pullback or avoid
**Example 3 - Accumulation Phase:**
Price ranges sideways but:
- Daily volume gradually increasing
- Weekly volume above average
- **Interpretation:** Smart money accumulating
- **Action:** Prepare for breakout in direction of volume
**Example 4 - Volume Divergence:**
Price makes new high:
- Current high has lower volume than previous high across all timeframes
- **Interpretation:** Weakening momentum
- **Action:** Consider profit-taking or reversal trade
