TMA Bands with Break Arrow @ClearTradingMind
The "TMA Bands with Break Arrow" indicator, developed by ClearTradingMind, is designed to provide traders with insights into potential trend reversals based on the movement of price within a channel defined by the Triangular Moving Average (TMA) and its bands. The TMA is a smoothed moving average, and this indicator adds upper and lower bands to visualize potential breakouts.
Key Components:
1. TMA Bands: The indicator plots the upper and lower bands of the TMA channel. These bands represent potential overbought (upper band) and oversold (lower band) conditions.
2. Break Arrows: The indicator generates buy (green triangle up) and sell (red triangle down) arrows when the closing price breaks above the upper band or below the lower band, indicating a potential trend reversal.
3. Background Color: The background color dynamically changes based on the last generated signal. A blue background suggests a recent buy signal, while a red background indicates a recent sell signal. This provides a quick visual reference for the prevailing market sentiment.
Usage:
1. Trend Reversals: Traders can use the buy and sell arrows as signals for potential trend reversals. A buy signal suggests a possible upward trend, while a sell signal suggests a potential downward trend.
2. Channel Breakouts: Watch for price breaking above the upper band (buy signal) or below the lower band (sell signal). These breakouts may indicate the start of a new trend.
3. Volatility Analysis: The width of the TMA channel represents volatility. A widening channel suggests increased volatility, while a narrowing channel suggests decreasing volatility.
4. Background Color: The background color provides additional context. A blue background indicates recent bullish sentiment, while a red background suggests recent bearish sentiment.
Parameters:
- TMA Period: The number of bars used to calculate the Triangular Moving Average.
- ATR Period: The number of bars used to calculate the Average True Range (ATR) for determining the width of the TMA channel.
- ATR Multiplier: A multiplier applied to the ATR to determine the width of the TMA channel.
Note: This indicator is a tool to assist traders in their analysis, and it is recommended to use it in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis methods for more comprehensive decision-making.
Disclaimer: Trading involves risk, and this indicator does not guarantee profit. Users should conduct thorough analysis and risk management before making trading decisions.

RVol LabelThis Code is update version of Code Provided by @ssbukam, Here is Link to his original Code and review the Description
Below is Original Description
1. When chart resolution is Daily or Intraday (D, 4H, 1H, 5min, etc), Relative Volume shows value based on DAILY. RVol is measured on daily basis to compare past N number of days.
2. When resolution is changed to Weekly or Monthly, then Relative Volume shows corresponding value. i.e. Weekly shows weekly relative volume of this week compared to past 'N' weeks. Likewise for Monthly. You would see change in label name. Like, Weekly chart shows W_RVol (Weekly Relative Volume). Likewise, Daily & Intraday shows D_RVol. Monthly shows M_RVol (Monthly Relative Volume).
3. Added a plot (by default hidden) for this specific reason: When you move the cursor to focus specific candle, then Indicator Value displays relative volume of that specific candle. This applies to Intraday as well. So if you're in 1HR chart and move the cursor to a specific candle, Indicator Value shows relative volume for that specific candlestick bar.
4. Updating the script so that text size and location can be customized.
Changes to Updated Label by me
1. Added Today's Volume to the Label
2. Added Total Average Volume to the Label
3. Comparison vs Both in Single Line and showing how much volume has traded vs the average volume for that time of the day
4. Aesthetic Look of the Label
How to Use Relative Volume for Trading
Using Relative Volume (RVol) in trading can be a valuable tool to help you identify potential trading opportunities and gain insight into market behavior. Here are some ways to use RVol in your trading strategy:
Identifying High-Volume Breakouts: RVol can help you spot potential breakouts when the volume surges significantly above its average. High RVol during a breakout suggests strong market interest, increasing the probability of a sustained move in the direction of the breakout.
Confirming Trends and Reversals: RVol can act as a confirmation tool for trends and reversals. A trend accompanied by rising RVol indicates a strong and sustainable move. Conversely, a trend with declining RVol might suggest a weakening trend or potential reversal.
Spotting Volume Divergence: When the price is moving in one direction, but RVol is declining or not confirming the move, it may indicate a divergence. This discrepancy could suggest a potential reversal or trend change.
Support and Resistance Confirmation: High RVol near key support or resistance levels can indicate potential price reactions at those levels. This confirmation can be valuable in determining whether a level is likely to hold or break.
Filtering Trade Signals: Incorporate RVol into your existing trading strategy as a filter. For example, you might consider taking trades only if RVol is above a certain threshold, ensuring that you focus on high-impact trading opportunities.
Avoiding Low-Volume Traps: Low RVol can indicate a lack of interest or participation in the market. In such situations, price movements may be erratic and less reliable, so it's often wise to avoid trading during low RVol periods.
Monitoring News Events: Around significant news events or earnings releases, RVol can help you gauge the market's reaction to the information. High RVol during such events can present trading opportunities but be cautious of increased volatility and potential gaps.
Adjusting Trade Size: During periods of extremely high RVol, it might be prudent to adjust your position size to account for higher risk.
Using Relative Volume in Morning Session
If the Volume traded in first 15 minute to 30 Minutes is already at 50% or 100% depending upon the ticker, it means that it is going to have very high Volume vs average by end of the day.
This gives me conviction for Long or Short Trades
Remember that RVol is not a standalone indicator; it works best when used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools. Additionally, RVol's effectiveness may vary across different markets and trading strategies. Therefore, backtesting and validating the use of RVol in your trading approach is essential.
Lastly, risk management is crucial in trading. While RVol can provide valuable insights, it cannot guarantee profitable trades. Always use appropriate risk management strategies, such as setting stop-loss levels, and avoid overexposing yourself to the market based solely on RVol readings.
TradeChartist Actuator™TradeChartist Actuator is an extremely functional indicator that converts the price action volatility and momentum into a meaningful trading system (based on user defined Standard Deviation Factor), that consists of expanding/contracting Volatility Range Bands, Dynamic Trend Support/Resistance Bands and 2 types of Breakout Signals in a visually stunning design. The script also neatly packs in ZigZag & manual/automatic Fibonacci Retracement tools, option to filter the signals using an external filter and other useful extras like ™TradeChartist Dollar Candles and much more.
===================================================================================================================
™TradeChartist Actuator User Manual
█ Actuator Range Bands
Actuator Range Bands consists of a Mean line, an Upper Band and a Lower Band which are based on user defined Standard Deviation Factor (Default - 1.618, Min - 0.5, Max - 2). The 1.618 factor works extremely well as the unnecessary volatility data of the bands are eliminated by Actuator's logic. In my personal tests, 1.618 works consistently better than any other value in visually showcasing the true volatility range. By eliminating the unnecessary volatility data from the original non-stabilized bands, Actuator helps detect price momentum by detecting two types of breakouts.
Bands Breakout - Filtered
When the price breaks out of the upper or lower band after a trend, there is a strong possibility of a reversal especially when the volatility expansion/contraction takes place. This is detected using a built in filter with the Filtered Bands Breakout and the user can choose to use the closing price or High/Low price as the trigger for breakouts. This trade setup is very useful especially at zones where the Actuator Range Bands contract or squeeze after an expansion as shown in the OANDA:XAUUSD 1hr chart below.
Also, after a consistent expansion of the bands with price trending in the upper channel or the lower channel, users can spot good profit taking or Short trade opportunities with confirmation of overbought price and if possible a strong bear divergence as show in the BINANCE:LUNAUSDTPERP 1hr chart below.
It can be seen from the chart above that even though Actuator is designed to detect Extreme Bands Breakout using High/Low price, it is done with a little bit of filtering by the script logic and hence didn't generate a Bear signal at the lower band support zone.
Mean Breakout - Filtered
In most Mean Reversion models, mostly oscillators, the mean plays an important role in helping traders predict the price dynamic, but it also presents a challenge whether that mean will act as support or resistance so the trader can take a position that will have a high probability of success. Filtered Mean Breakout helps exactly to identify the price dynamic at the mean zone and helps reduce the dilemma. Actuator uses Volatility Trend and Momentum of the price action at mean to determine Bull/Bear breakouts. Following NASDAQ:AAPL 1hr chart shows an example of 2 instances of Filtered Mean Breakout detection, one bull and one bear and further area where no Breakout was detected in spite of price crossing the mean.
This Breakout type is really helpful in spotting early moves and also reduces the high volatility risk of Extreme Bands Breakout in some cases.
===================================================================================================================
█ External Filter
Actuator breakout signals can be further filtered using the feature of connecting an external signal as a trade filter.
External filter like RSI , MACD etc. can be used to filter breakouts by connecting to ™TradeChartist Actuator under ╔═══ 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝗴 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 ═══ 🔌 dropdown by enabling 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫.
To get the external filter to work, 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 must be set right. For plots that are non oscillatory like Moving Averages, Super Trend etc., choose type as Non Oscillatory and for Oscillators like RSI , CCI , MACD etc., choose type as Oscillatory .
For Oscillators, levels must be specified for 𝐎𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 and 𝐎𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞, especially if the Oscillator doesnt have 0 as midline, like RSI . Even for 0 mid oscillators like CCI , filter levels like 100/-100 work effectively to filter noise.
Use 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥/𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥 under Actuator Visuals section to paint the trade zones background. It helps visually see the effect of filters on the breakout entries and also the trade performance.
The following chart shows the Filter settings with ™TradeChartist Momentum Drift Oscillator connected to Actuator as Oscillatory signal with filter values 0.
The two example charts of 1hr BINANCE:BTCUSDT below shows the difference in Actuator signals based on Oscillatory signal from ™TradeChartist Momentum Drift Oscillator and the difference can be seen from the highlighted Bull/Bear Background Fill.

===================================================================================================================
█ Dynamic Trend Support/Resistance Bands
In addition to Volatility Range Bands, Actuator also plots Dynamic Trend Support and Resistance bands that are more sensitive to price action and helps the user determine growing support/resistance which is indicated by coloured dots. These dots normally appear when the Support or Resistance stays at the same level for a few bars and change between Bull and Bear colours based on how the price interacts with them as shown below.
===================================================================================================================
█ Useful Trade Tools
™TradeChartist Dollar Candles
Dollar Candles help detect the volatility exhaustion prices and plots $ signs to help the trader take profits or move stop loss levels to secure gains. The $ signs do not appear for every trade zone, but whenever price hits a critical level, it shows up above price bar (for Bull trend) or below price bar (for Bear trend) in real time. Users can also set alerts for Dollar Candles with Once Per Bar setting. The Daily NASDAQ:TSLA chart below shows the Dollar Candles on both Bull and Bear trends.
It is important to note that taking pockets of profits on a leveraged trade position or moving up stop loss to maximize trend gains at $ candles will help increase Average Profitability Per Trade (APPT) .
Bull/Bear Background Fill
Bull/Bear Background Fill paints the trade zones in Bull and Bear colours. This helps visualize the difference in trade zones when testing various settings and also helps analyze past performance of Actuator Signals with or without the use of External Filter.
Entry Stop Loss Reference
Reference zone for stop loss has always been a tricky one for traders. Using a fixed percentage stop at entry may not be best during high volatility moves. Over the extensive period of Actuator testing, a simple solution to this problem was found. The previous trend's Range Bands Mean Line served as a perfect reference point for Entry Stop. Also while analysing this Mean line, it was found to be a perfect horizontal support/resistance line and also helped detect unproductive trades. The example 15m chart of NASDAQ:AMD shows how the Entry Stop Loss Reference performed.
Stop Line Touch Points plot orange touch points on the Stop Line whenever the price hits it during the trade.
Actuator Colour Bars
Actuator Colour Bars paints the Momentum Strength on the price bars. This helps visually see the price bars venturing into the Overbought or the Oversold zones. Also, this feature also helps spot divergences as higher highs or lower lows with less intense Bull/Bear colour than the previous high/low shows diminishing momentum as shown in the 1h chart of OANDA:GBPJPY below.
===================================================================================================================
█ ZigZag & Fibonacci Toolkit
Actuator plots developing and completed ZigZags based on Bull and Bear trend depending on the Breakout Type and Breakout Price from the settings.
Option to enable or disable 𝐙𝐢𝐠𝐙𝐚𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 which can be helpful for Harmonic traders.
Option to display 𝐙𝐢𝐠𝐙𝐚𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬/𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐬 and 𝐑𝐒𝐈 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬/𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐬 in one of two styles.
Two types of Fibonacci to choose from - 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨-𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐬 and 𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.
𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨-𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐬 option plots Auto Fibonacci levels based on Bull/Bear trend depending on user specified Breakout Type and Breakout Price.
𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 plots Fibonacci levels based on the highest high and lowest low of the lookback period (𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬 or 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬).
Fibonacci levels can be reversed by enabling 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 from settings.
Enabling 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐛 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥 displays the current Fib level of the developing price bar.
Option to customize Fib levels and colours.
4hr chart of BINANCE:BTCUSDT showing Auto Fibonacci levels, Zig-Zag with Trend High/Lows, Zig-Zag connectors with Fib Ratios and RSI at Trend High/Low prices.
Note:
If momentum doesn't slow down, the fibs can extend beyond 1 and may continue way beyond 4.618 fib level. These are quite rare depending on how distant the near high/low is based.
ZigZag and Fibonacci are good reference indicators and should always be used as confirmations rather than standalone indicators.
===================================================================================================================
█ Actuator Colour Scheme
Actuator employs 3 built in colour schemes namely Chilli , Flame and Sublime Grayscale and a versatile colour scheme Custom which enables the user to customise the colour combinations of the components of the Actuator script.
===================================================================================================================
█ Alerts
Alerts can be created for the following.
Actuator Bull Breakout Signal - Once Per Bar Close
Actuator Bear Breakout Signal - Once Per Bar Close
Actuator Long Dollar - Take Profit - Once Per Bar
Actuator Short Dollar - Take Profit - Once Per Bar
Actuator Stop Line Hit - Once Per Bar
Note: The script doesn't repaint, so the alerts can be used with confidence. To check this, users can do bar replays to check if the plots and markers stay in the same place.

JXMJXRS - Retest Entry ZonesThis indicator identifies directional breakout retest zones based on structural price levels. It is built for traders who look for secondary entry opportunities after breakouts—often referred to as "retest entries." It is particularly suited to crypto markets and other volatile assets where breakout-retest behavior is frequent and tradable.
The indicator monitors recent price structure and identifies breakouts above or below key levels using a configurable lookback window. When a breakout occurs, it automatically plots a colored zone in the direction of the move:
Green zones are plotted after bullish breakouts (potential long retest areas).
Red zones are plotted after bearish breakouts (potential short retest areas).
Each zone persists on the chart for a defined number of bars before being removed to maintain visual clarity.
Settings
Range Lookback:
Defines how many bars are used to determine recent highs and lows. This controls the structural levels the script uses to detect a breakout. Higher values filter out minor breakouts and only react to more significant price moves.
Zone Height (%):
Sets the vertical size of the retest zone as a percentage of the breakout candle's close. A larger value produces wider zones and increases the chance of price re-entering the zone.
Zone Duration (bars):
Determines how long each zone remains visible after the breakout. After the specified number of bars, the zone is automatically removed. This helps prevent clutter and keeps focus on recent, actionable retest opportunities.
The indicator works across all timeframes and does not repaint. It is best used in trending environments or during volatile market phases where breakouts are likely to lead to continuation.

The indicator automatically sorts from greatest to least based on the %Δ column 👇
What is ATR?
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems that measures security volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for a time period.
Why do we use it?
Because converting price moves into ATR terms better contextualizes them relative to the asset's historical volatility!
Example: If the ATR is $2.50, it means the average price range each day is roughly $2.50.
We use an ATR length of 20 days in our calculation, and convert the 20D ATR into a 20D ATR %. The formula for ATR % is as follows:
ATR % = (ATR/Current Price) * 100
Why does MAx matter?
MAx measures the number of ATR % multiples a security is trading away from a key moving average.The default moving average length is 50 days.
MAx can be used to identify mean reversion trades . When a security trends strongly in one direction and moves significantly above or below its moving average, the price often tends to revert back toward the average.
Example, if the ATR % of the security is 5%, and the stock is trading 50% higher than the 50D SMA, the MAx would be 50%/5% = 10. A user might opt to take a countertrend trade when the MAx exceeds a predetermined level.
The MAx can also be useful when trading breakouts above or below the key moving average of your choosing. The lower the MAx, the tighter stop loss one can take if trading against that level.
Identifying an extreme price extension using MAx 👇
Price mean reverted immediately following the high MAx 👇
Why does 52WR matter?
Historical analysis conducted by market legends like William O’Neill and Mark Minervini indicates that stocks trading at or near 52wk highs tend to outperform over time, and vice versa for stocks trading close to 52wk lows. Avoiding stocks trading with a low 52WR metric can help traders avoid buying stocks in downtrends. Likewise, focusing on stocks trading with a high 52WR provides a technical edge.
💠 Stage Analysis Guide
Short-term and long-term stage analysis data is provided in the two rightmost columns of each table. The columns are labeled ST ⇅ and LT ⇅.
Why is Stage Analysis important? Popularized by Stan Weinstein, stage analysis is a trend following system that classifies assets into four stages based on price-trend analysis.
The problem? The interpretation of stage analysis is highly subjective. Based on the methodology provided in Stan Weinstein’s books, five different traders could look at the same chart, and come to different conclusions as to which stage the security is in!
We solved for this by creating our own methodology for classifying stocks into stages using moving averages. This indicator automates that analysis, and produces short-term and long-term trend signals based on user-defined key moving averages. You won’t find this in any textbook or course, because it’s completely unique to the Pristine trading methodology.
Our indicator calculates a short-term trend signal using two moving averages; a fast moving average, and a slow moving average. We default to the 10D EMA as the fast moving average & the 20D SMA as the slow moving average. A trend signal is generated based on where price is currently trading with respect to the fast moving average and the slow moving average. We use the signal to guide shorter-term swing trades.
In general, we want to take long trades in stocks with strengthening trends, and short trades in stocks with weakening trends. The user is free to change the moving averages based on their own short-term timeframe. Every trader is unique!
The same process is applied to calculate the long-term trend signal. We default to the 50D SMA as our fast moving average, and the 200D SMA as the slow moving average for the LT ⇅ signal calculation, but users can change these to fit their own unique trading style.
What is Stage 1?
Stage 1 identifies stocks that transitioned from downtrends, into bottoming bases.
Stage 1A - Bottom Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of recovery after a downtrend, with early indications of strength emerging.👇
Stage 1B - Bottoming Process: Identifies the ongoing phase where the security continues to stabilize and strengthen, confirming the base-building process after the initial signal.👇
Stage 1R - Failed Uptrend: Detects when a security that had entered an early uptrend loses momentum and slips back into a bottoming phase, signaling a failed breakout.👇
What is Stage 2?
Stage 2 identifies stocks that transitioned from bottoming bases to uptrends.
Stage 2A - Breakout: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks out, signaling the start of a new uptrend.👇
Stage 2B - Uptrend: Identifies when the security continues to trade in an established uptrend following the initial breakout, with momentum building but not yet showing full strength.👇
Stage 2C - Strong Uptrend: Detects when the uptrend strengthens further, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating strength and buying pressure.👇
Stage 2R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had recently entered a corrective phase reverses course and reclaims its upward trajectory, moving back into an uptrend.👇
What is Stage 3?
Stage 3 identifies stocks that transitioned from uptrends to topping bases.
Stage 3A - Top Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of weakness after an uptrend, indicating the start of a potential topping phase.👇
Stage 3B - Topping Process: Identifies the period following the initial signal when the security continues to show signs of distribution and potential trend exhaustion.👇
Stage 3R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had entered a deeper corrective phase reverses upward, recovering enough strength to re-enter the topping phase.👇
What is Stage 4?
Stage 4 identifies stocks that transitioned from topping bases to downtrends.
Stage 4A - Breakdown: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks below key support levels, signaling the start of a new downward trend.👇
Stage 4B - Downtrend: Identifies when the security continues to trend lower following the initial breakdown, with sustained bearish momentum, though not yet fully entrenched.👇
Stage 4C - Strong Downtrend: Detects when the downtrend intensifies, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating weakness and selling pressure.👇
Stage 4R - Failed Bottom: Detects when a security that had begun to show early signs of bottoming reverses course and resumes its decline, falling back into a downtrend.👇
Stage N/A - Recent IPO: Applies to stocks that recently IPO’ed and don’t have enough data to calculate all necessary moving averages.

RED-E Trend Sniper RED E Trend Sniper
Indicator Description:
This Pine Script indicator is designed to highlight potential trend continuation breakouts by detecting when volume and price action align with strength. It uses a combination of candle body size, volume surge, and an optional EMA-based trend filter to trigger signals.
🔍 How It Works:
Body Size Calculation: Measures the candle body (absolute difference between open and close). A candle qualifies as a "big move" when its body is 1.5× larger than the average over the last 20 candles.
Volume Breakout Check: Compares current volume to the 20-period volume average. A volume breakout is confirmed when volume is 1.5× higher than average.
EMA Trend Filter (Optional):
When enabled, a 50-period EMA determines trend direction.
Bullish condition: close > EMA
Bearish condition: close < EMA
✅ Signal Criteria:
Bullish Breakout Signal (Up Arrow 🔼):
Candle closes green (close > open)
Volume breakout + big move
(Optional) Price is above EMA
Bearish Breakout Signal (Down Arrow 🔽):
Candle closes red (close < open)
Volume breakout + big move
(Optional) Price is below EMA
📌 What Triggers the Arrows:
Volume breakout is the core requirement. When it occurs with a large candle body, the script plots:
🔼 A triangle-up arrow below the candle for bullish breakouts
🔽 A triangle-down arrow above the candle for bearish breakouts
🎯 Purpose:
This indicator is built to catch explosive price movements backed by real participation (volume), helping traders enter on strength and avoid weak or fake breakouts.
JOYZONE.04JOYZONE signal for TradingView
The JOYZONE Breakout Indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for traders seeking to identify potential trend reversals and breakouts in financial markets. Built for TradingView’s Pine Script v6, this indicator leverages pivot points to detect significant price levels, offering a clear visual representation of bullish and bearish market shifts. By focusing on key price action patterns, it aims to provide traders with actionable insights for both trend-following and reversal strategies.
Core Functionality
The JOYZONE Breakout Indicator identifies critical pivot highs and lows using a fixed 5-period lookback, which simplifies the detection of potential reversal zones without requiring user adjustments. These pivot points are used to establish "JOYZONE" levels—price thresholds that, when broken with confirmation, signal a change in market trend. The indicator employs a robust confirmation mechanism within fixed bar window, reducing false signals and enhancing reliability.
Upon detecting a breakout, the indicator plots horizontal lines at the JOYZONE levels, extending until a new signal emerges or the trend shifts. Labels accompany these lines, marking bullish (+JOYZONE) and bearish (-JOYZONE) breakouts with customizable colors (default: green for bullish, red for bearish) and sizes (tiny to large). This visual clarity helps traders quickly assess market direction and key price levels.
Key Features
Simplified Inputs: The indicator minimizes user configuration by hardcoding critical parameters like the fixed-period directional detection system. Traders can toggle JOYZONE level visibility, adjust label sizes, and customize colors, ensuring flexibility without overwhelming complexity.
Efficient Signal Management: With a default cap of 86 signals, the indicator prevents chart clutter by automatically removing older lines and labels when the limit is exceeded. This feature is particularly useful for long-term chart analysis.
Dynamic Alerts: The script includes alert triggers for bullish and bearish JOYZONE breakouts, delivering real-time notifications with price details. This enables traders to act swiftly on confirmed signals, whether trading manually or integrating with automated systems.
ATR-Based Label Positioning: Labels are offset using the 50-period Average True Range (ATR), ensuring they remain visible and uncluttered regardless of market volatility.
How It Works
The indicator tracks pivot highs and lows to establish JOYZONE levels during uptrends (bearish levels) and downtrends (bullish levels). When the price crosses a JOYZONE level and satisfies the confirmation criteria, the trend updates, and a breakout signal is plotted. For example, a bullish JOYZONE breakout occurs when the price crosses above a pivot high during a downtrend, confirmed by a close above the threshold. The script then draws a green line and a “+JOYZONE” label, alerting the trader to a potential uptrend.
Use Cases
This indicator is versatile, catering to various trading styles:
Swing Traders: Use JOYZONE breakouts to enter trades at the onset of new trends, with clear entry and stop-loss levels based on plotted lines.
Day Traders: Leverage real-time alerts to capitalize on intraday reversals in volatile markets.
Position Traders: Monitor higher timeframes to identify long-term trend shifts with high-probability setups.
Customization and Performance
Traders can adjust the visibility of JOYZONE levels, label sizes, and colors to suit their chart preferences. The hardcoded 5-period lookback and 0.015% confirmation ensure consistency across assets, but users may need to test performance on specific markets (e.g., forex, stocks, crypto) to align with their strategies. The indicator’s reliance on ATR for label placement adapts to varying volatility, making it effective across different instruments.
Limitations and Considerations
While the JOYZONE Breakout Indicator excels in trending markets, it may produce delayed signals in choppy or sideways conditions due to its confirmation mechanism. Traders should combine it with other tools, such as moving averages or volume indicators, to filter signals. Additionally, the fixed period may not suit all timeframes, so testing on historical data is recommended.
Conclusion
The JOYZONE Breakout Indicator offers a streamlined, visually intuitive approach to detecting trend reversals and breakouts. Its automated signal management, dynamic alerts, and customizable display make it a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit. By focusing on confirmed price action, it empowers traders to make informed decisions with confidence. Whether you’re a novice or seasoned trader, this indicator provides a reliable framework for navigating dynamic markets.

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

Highest Volume Candle Analysis @MaxMaserati# Highest Volume Candle Analysis Indicator - Trading View Publication Summary
## What is the HVC Indicator?
The "Highest Volume Candle Analysis" indicator by MaxMaserati helps traders identify significant volume events and their subsequent breakouts. This tool detects high-volume candles that exceed a customizable threshold above the average volume and tracks how price interacts with these levels.
## Core Principle: Volume-Based Support & Resistance
The fundamental concept behind this indicator is that the highest volume candles represent significant market participation and create powerful support and resistance zones. These high-volume candles should be able to push price up or down, and price should not be able to close above (bearish HVC) or below (bullish HVC) these levels.
While price may temporarily breach these levels with a wick to take liquidity, it should not be able to close beyond them if the original volume-based level is truly significant. When price does close beyond these levels, it signals a violation of supply and demand principles and indicates a significant shift in market strength - a key trading opportunity.
EXAMPLE
## Key Features
- **High Volume Detection**: Automatically identifies candles with volume exceeding your specified threshold
- **Support & Resistance Levels**: Creates dynamic support (bullish HVC) and resistance (bearish HVC) levels
- **Breakout Detection**: Tracks and visualizes when price breaks through established HVC levels
- **Volume Comparison**: Shows volume ratios between breakout candles and their corresponding HVC levels
- **VWAP Integration**: Uses Volume Weighted Average Price to filter for more significant volume events
## Customizable Parameters
- **Trend Length**: Period for EMA calculation (default: 20)
- **Volume Threshold Multiplier**: Minimum volume multiplier above average (default: 1.5)
- **VWAP Length**: Period for VWAP calculation (default: 20)
## Visual Elements
- Green lines mark bullish HVC levels (high volume bullish candles)
- Red lines mark bearish HVC levels (high volume bearish candles)
- Blue lines indicate bullish breakouts of bearish HVC levels
- Red lines indicate bearish breakouts of bullish HVC levels
- Triangle markers highlight high-volume candles
- Labels display volume information in a clean, easy-to-read format
# How to Use the HVC Indicator
## Trading with HVC Levels
- **Support & Resistance**: Green lines mark bullish HVC support levels; red lines mark bearish HVC resistance levels.
- **Respect the Close**: While price may wick through HVC levels to grab liquidity, the key signal is whether it can close beyond these levels.
- **Bounce Trades**: When price approaches but respects an HVC level on close, consider trading in the direction of the rejection.
- **Breakout Trades**: When price closes beyond an HVC level, it indicates a significant shift in market strength - a potential trend change or continuation.
- **Volume Validation**: Check the volume ratio on breakouts; higher relative volume suggests a more reliable signal.
## Quick Tips
1. Use tight stops beyond HVC levels for bounce trades.
2. Look for false breakouts (wicks beyond but closes respecting the level) for counter-trend opportunities.
3. Combine with trend analysis - HVC breakouts in the direction of the larger trend offer higher probability setups.
4. Pay attention to how aggressively price approaches HVC levels - hesitation often indicates the level will hold.
5. The most powerful signals occur when price respects multiple HVC levels or when breakouts happen with exceptional volume.
IB & Hammer at SMA(20,50|200)IB & Hammer at SMA (20, 50, 200) Breakout/Breakdown Indicator
Overview:
The IB (Inside Bar) & Hammer at SMA Breakout/Breakdown Indicator is designed to identify breakout and breakdown opportunities using Inside Bars (IB) in combination with Simple Moving Averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) as key trend filters. This indicator is useful for traders looking to catch momentum moves after consolidation phases, confirming the trend direction with moving averages.
Indicator Logic:
Inside Bar (IB) Detection:
An Inside Bar is a candlestick that is completely within the range of the previous candle (i.e., lower high and higher low).
Inside Bars indicate consolidation, suggesting a potential breakout.
SMA Trend Confirmation:
The script uses three moving averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) to determine the trend direction.
Bullish trend: Price is above the 50 & 200 SMAs.
Bearish trend: Price is below the 50 & 200 SMAs.
The 20 SMA is used as a dynamic short-term momentum filter.
Breakout & Breakdown Conditions:
Breakout: When price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high, and the trend is bullish (above key SMAs).
Breakdown: When price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low, and the trend is bearish (below key SMAs).
Alerts can be set to notify traders of potential trade opportunities.
Features:
✅ Identifies Inside Bars (consolidation zones).
✅ Uses SMA (20, 50, 200) for trend confirmation.
✅ Breakout/Breakdown signals based on Inside Bar structure.
✅ Customizable Moving Averages & Alerts.
✅ Visual markers for easy trade identification.
How to Use:
Confirm Trend Direction:
If the price is above SMA 50 & 200, look for breakout trades.
If the price is below SMA 50 & 200, look for breakdown trades.
Watch for Inside Bars:
The script highlights Inside Bars with a specific color (configurable).
These bars indicate a low-volatility phase, preparing for a breakout.
Trade on Breakout/Breakdown:
Breakout: Enter long when the price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high (bullish trend).
Breakdown: Enter short when the price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low (bearish trend).

Flat Market Range Pro [CHE]Flat Market Range Pro Indicator
Introduction
Hey there! 👋
Welcome to our overview of the Flat Market Range Pro indicator. Whether you're new to trading or a seasoned pro, this tool is designed to help you spot those flat market conditions where prices are chilling within a certain range. By highlighting these consolidation zones and potential breakout points, it offers some pretty neat insights to boost your trading strategies. Let’s dive in and explore how this indicator can make your trading journey smoother and more informed!
How It Works
The Flat Market Range Pro indicator is all about understanding the ebb and flow of the market. Here's a simple breakdown:
Range Detection:
Range Period (range_period): This sets the number of bars (think of them as time slices) the indicator looks back to find the highest highs and lowest lows. It’s like setting the scope for your search.
Minimum Candles in Range (min_candles_in_range): Ensures that there are enough candles (price bars) within the range to make the detection meaningful. No point in highlighting a range if it’s too short, right?
Adaptive Moving Average (AMA):
Think of AMA as the indicator’s way of staying flexible. It smooths out the price data to better spot trends within those flat ranges. Don’t worry, it’s working behind the scenes and won’t clutter your chart.
Breakout Detection:
When the price decides to break free from its cozy range, the indicator flags it. It waits for confirmation to make sure it’s not just a fleeting move, adding a layer of reliability to your signals.
Visualization:
Flat Market Zones: These are shaded areas that highlight where the price has been consolidating.
Support and Resistance Lines: Automatically drawn lines that mark key price levels, helping you see where the price might bounce or break through.
Trade Signals: Arrows popping up to show potential buy or sell opportunities when breakouts occur.
Breaking It Down
1. Detecting the Range
The indicator scans through the past range_period bars to find the highest and lowest prices. This creates a dynamic range that adjusts as new data comes in. It’s like having a smart assistant keeping an eye on where the action is happening.
2. The Role of AMA
Even though you won’t see AMA on your chart, it plays a crucial role. It helps the indicator adapt to changing market conditions by smoothing out the data, making sure the breakout signals are spot-on and not just random noise.
3. Spotting Breakouts
A breakout happens when the price moves beyond the established range. The indicator marks these moments with clear arrows, so you know when it might be a good time to jump in or out of a trade. Plus, it waits for confirmation to ensure these signals are solid.
4. Visualizing Flat Markets
Shaded boxes highlight the areas where the price has been consolidating, making it easy to see when the market is flat. Support and resistance lines are drawn automatically, and you can even customize how they look to match your personal style.
Customize It Your Way
One of the best things about the Flat Market Range Pro indicator is how customizable it is. Here’s what you can tweak:
Range Settings:
Adjust the range_period to fit different timeframes.
Set the min_candles_in_range to ensure the ranges you see are meaningful.
Moving Average Settings:
Change the ma_length and ma_lookback to fine-tune how the AMA responds to price movements.
Visual Tweaks:
Pick your favorite colors and transparency levels for the shaded zones.
Choose whether to display support and resistance lines and extend them indefinitely if you like.
Toggle trade arrows and labels on or off based on what you find most helpful.
Organizing these settings into logical groups makes it super easy to customize the indicator just the way you like it.
Real-World Examples
1. Spotting Consolidation: Imagine you’re watching a stock that’s been moving sideways for a while. The indicator highlights this consolidation with shaded boxes and support/resistance lines, giving you a clear picture of where the price is hanging out.
2. Trading Breakouts: When the price finally decides to break free from the range, the indicator pops up buy or sell arrows. This helps you catch the move early, whether you’re looking to enter a new trade or exit an existing one.
3. Making Informed Decisions: With clear visual cues and reliable signals, you can make smarter trading decisions without getting overwhelmed by too much information.

ORB - Alerts, VWAP and MACD Checks, Extended Fib Levels
ORB Range Alerter with Shading, VWAP Check, MACD Check, and Extended Fibonacci Levels for TP – Fully Customizable
This indicator is designed to give you a comprehensive analysis of the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) combined with advanced conditions based on VWAP and MACD indicators, along with Extended Fibonacci Levels for both long and short TP positions.
Key Features:
Opening Range Breakout (ORB):
Defines the opening range at the market open (9:30 AM by default) based on your chart timeframe and shades it for visibility.
The high and low of the first candle after the open are plotted on the chart, creating a breakout range that traders can use to identify potential long or short positions.
VWAP Condition (Optional):
This indicator includes the option to enforce the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) as a condition for entering trades.
- Longs will only trigger if the price is above VWAP (when enabled).
- Shorts will only trigger if the price is below VWAP (when enabled).
Customizable : You can enable or disable the VWAP condition through a simple checkbox in the indicator’s settings.
MACD Condition (Optional):
Includes an optional MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) condition.
- Longs will only trigger if the MACD line is above 0 and the signal line, providing confirmation of bullish momentum.
- Shorts will only trigger if the MACD line is below 0 and the signal line, indicating bearish momentum.
Customizable : You can enable or disable the MACD condition through a checkbox in the indicator’s settings, allowing you to trade with or without the MACD confirmation.
Fibonacci Extensions for Profit Targets:
Automatically calculates Fibonacci extension levels based on the ORB range for TP levels.
These levels provide key areas for potential profit-taking or reversal points.
Fibonacci extensions are plotted only after a confirmed breakout, either long or short.
The extensions include 127.2%, 161.8%, 200%, 261.8%, 423.6%, and 685.4%, offering a comprehensive set of targets for different trading strategies.
Shading of ORB Range:
The ORB high and low are visually emphasized on the chart with a shaded area for easy identification.
The shading is semi-transparent to help keep your chart clean and easy to read.
Customizable Timeframe:
The ORB range is defined based on the time of day (default is 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM), but you can adjust the timeframe to suit different trading sessions or markets.
Alerts for Breakouts:
Built-in alerts notify you when price crosses above or below the ORB high or low, along with the optional VWAP and MACD conditions.
Alerts can be used to create automated notifications or even execute automated trades based on your chosen settings.
How to Use:
Long Trade Example: When the price crosses above the ORB high, VWAP is above the price, and MACD shows bullish momentum (if these conditions are enabled), a potential long entry is triggered. You can use the Fibonacci extensions for profit targets.
Short Trade Example: When the price crosses below the ORB low, VWAP is below the price, and MACD confirms bearish momentum (if these conditions are enabled), a short entry is triggered. Fibonacci levels for the short position can guide your exit strategy.
Flexibility: You can enable or disable both VWAP and MACD conditions based on your trading style. This flexibility allows the indicator to adapt to different market conditions and strategies.
Customization Options:
Enable/Disable VWAP Condition: Decide if you want to include VWAP as a trade filter.
Enable/Disable MACD Condition: Choose whether to require MACD as confirmation for trade entries.
Adjust ORB Timeframe: Customize the time range for defining the ORB based on the market you're trading.
Fibonacci Extensions: Visualize key profit targets using Fibonacci extensions, which are automatically calculated and displayed after a breakout.

Filter Set D: Scalper
After determining the market condition using the previous filter sets, you can use this filter set to hunt for trades. Designed for use with Heikin Ashi candles, this filter allows you to enter when there’s high momentum and provides a trailing stop along the way.
Goal:
Execute trades in harmony with the established trend.
Setup Rules:
1. Condition 1: You know the current trend direction as per filter set guidance (A, B, & C), and the trend is up, and you are going long.
2. Condition 2: Wait for the price to close 3 consecutive flat-bottom Heikin Ashi candles above the 7 MA. Then Enter on the open of the fourth Candle.
3. Condition 3: The 3x candles have to be above the 7 MA (red line), and the 7 MA has to be above the 50 EMA (yellow line).
Trade Management:
Use the 50 EMA (Yellow Line) as a trailing stop and hold the position until a candle opens and closes below the 7 SMA (Red Line).
---
Additional Filter Sets
These filter sets are designed to accommodate various trading strategies, allowing for flexibility depending on the trader's approach.
---
Filter Set E: VWAP
When using the VWAP filter, load the On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator to complement your analysis. This combination can help confirm volume trends and potential price movements.
Tips:
Look for instances where the VWAP aligns with OBV divergences to confirm or negate potential trade setups.
Tutorial:
- Complement with OBV: Look for volume confirmations.
- Usage: Switch the candles to a line chart. Wait for both the line to close above the VWAP and OBV above the Smoothing Line. Then, switch to Filter Set D and hunt for a long entry as per the strategy. Do the opposite for hunting short entries.
---
Filter Set F: Super Trend
This filter is most effective when paired with the Ichimoku Cloud (using custom settings) along with the MACD and ADX indicators.
Goal:
Gauge trend strength, momentum, and support and resistance levels.
Tutorial:
- Load Ichimoku, MACD, and ADX: To gauge trend strength and momentum.
- Usage Tips:
I use the cloud to look for long periods where the clouds print horizontal levels and use them for support and resistance levels. Alternatively, use the ADX. When the price breaks up through the super trend downtrend line and retraces back to the top of the Ichimoku cloud, switch to Filter Set D and hunt for a long scalp entry. For a short entry, wait for the price to break through the Up Trend Line and retrace back up to the cloud. Then, switch to Filter Set D and use the setup to hunt for a short.
---
Filter Set G: Keltner Channels
Combine this filter with Donchian Channels and the Average True Range (ATR) for enhanced volatility analysis. This filter set works similarly to Filter Set C.
Goal:
Measure volatility and predict breakouts.
Tutorial:
- Load Donchian Channels or ATR: To measure volatility and breakouts.
- Usage Tips:
Look for the price to fall through the Keltner lower line and the ATR making a higher low. Then, use the scalper for entries, with Donchian boundaries as take-profit estimates.
---
Filter Set H: Pivot Points
This filter works with the RSI to spot divergences that could signal a trend change or reversal.
Goal:
Identify divergences and trend reversals.
Tutorial:
- Load RSI: For identifying divergences.
- Usage Tips:
Use RSI in conjunction with pivot points to identify divergences. Then, switch to Filter Set D and use the scalper to hunt for swing entries in the divergence direction.
---
Filter Set I: Opening Range Breakout
This filter uses the Seasonality indicator to gauge investor sentiment and prediction sentiment.
Goal:
Assess market sentiment and predict breakout directions.
Tutorial:
- Load Seasonality Indicator: To assess market sentiment.
- Usage Tips:
Use seasonal trends to gauge potential breakout directions. Use on the daily timeframe only. Risk on investment zones are when the price is close to the ORB low level. Realize investment profit when the price is nearing the ORB high level, considering that there has to be divergence as determined using Filter Set H.
---
By following this structured approach, traders can learn to navigate different market conditions, using TrendScope to make informed decisions based on a comprehensive analysis of momentum, trend, and volatility. The goal is to go through all the filter sets and combine them with the scalp setup in Filter Set D, using the additional filters to adapt to various strategies and market conditions.
True Market Structure {DCAquant}
True Market Structure
Overview
The True Market Structure is a technical analysis tool designed for use across all timeframes. It identifies and visualizes market structure breaks (MSBs) and break of structure (BOS) events, emphasizing interim highs and lows using the "Deroz Wick" system. Unlike many other indicators, this tool does not rely on traditional pivot points, making it a unique addition to any trader's toolkit.
How It Works
The True Market Structure indicator uses a combination of algorithms to detect and highlight significant market structure events. By analyzing price action and identifying key levels, the indicator aids in understanding potential reversal points and trend continuations.
Bull and Bear Market Structures: Differentiates between bullish and bearish market structures, applying distinct color settings for easy visualization.
Customizable Settings: Users can tailor the indicator’s appearance and functionality to their preferences, including toggling lines, labels, and selecting between SWING and INTERIM MS settings.
How our market structure indicator is different
All known market structure indicators work with pivot points. This is a lookback function to find highs and lows within a certain period and then producing market structure.
Our indicator doesn't work like this as the DCAquant True Market Structure finds swing and interim lows and saves it into memory thus giving us the ability to create real market structure breaks and BOS’s.
This is achieved when an MSB or BOS is triggered the script will perform a check through its memory to find previous Interim or swing which ever setting the user has selected.
A saved interim or swing will never change unless it is broken giving you true market structure, this Indicator cannot repaint because it only produces breaks whenever candle is closed.
The next MSB or BOS you see on the chart are the direct function of saved memory points which gives clear indication of true market structure.
Almost 500 lines of code to give you True Market Structure usable on any timeframe.
Key Features
1. Market Structure Breaks (MSBs) and Break of Structure (BOS)
Market Structure Breaks (MSBs): Occur when the price breaks through a previous significant high or low, indicating a potential reversal or continuation of the current trend.
Break of Structure (BOS): Highlights significant breaks in market structure, providing insights into potential trend changes.
2. Visualization Options
Customizable colour settings for both bull and bear market structures, ensuring it integrates with any chart setup.
Options to enable or disable lines and labels for flexible information display.
3. The WICK System
Standard WICK System: Identifies wicks based on standard high/low calculations.
Deroz WICK System: Enhances the standard WICK system by looking back at price history and replacing the standard wick if an even lower or higher wick is found in the subsequent bar.
4. MS Settings
SWING Setting: Sets future MSB events at swing highs/lows, offering a broader market perspective.
INTERIM Setting: Sets future MSB events at interim highs/lows, providing more immediate and frequent market structure updates.
Understanding Market Structure
Market structure is defined by a series of price actions that form recognizable patterns indicating the current trend. Key elements include:
Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL): Indicate an uptrend, where each successive high and low is higher than the previous one.
Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL): Indicate a downtrend, where each successive high and low is lower than the previous one.
These patterns help traders identify trend direction and potential reversal points. In an uptrend, traders look for higher highs and higher lows to continue, whereas in a downtrend, they look for lower highs and lower lows.
Application in Breakout Trading
Market structure analysis is crucial for breakout trading, where traders seek to capitalize on significant price movements following a break of established price levels.
Uptrend Breakouts: Traders watch for breaks above higher highs as potential entry points for long positions.
Downtrend Breakouts: Traders watch for breaks below lower lows as potential entry points for short positions.
The True Market Structure indicator assists by visually marking these critical levels, simplifying the process of identifying and acting on breakout opportunities.

Volume Buyer-Seller [GOODY]This indicator was designed to analyze buying and selling pressure through volume calculations, providing insights into market dynamics. It can be used to determine whether buyers or sellers dominate the market at any given time.
Key Features
1. Volume Calculations: This indicator calculates the volume attributable to buyers and sellers for each bar, then represents it as buying and selling columns on the chart. It also provides the average volume over a specified period for context.
2. Dominance Logic: By comparing the buying and selling volumes, the indicator determines which side (buyers or sellers) has dominance. If the difference between the two is within a specified threshold, the market is considered indecisive.
3. Dominance Marker: Circles or squares appear on the chart to indicate the dominant force, helping traders quickly assess market sentiment. The colors of these markers can be customized.
4. Label Display: The indicator displays a comprehensive label on the chart with information like total volume, buyer/seller percentages, average volume, ratio, and ATR (Average True Range) details. This label can show current or past data depending on user preference.
5. Ratio and Control: A critical component is the ratio, calculated as the proportion of buying volume to selling volume. This ratio is a key indicator of market sentiment, with an appended symbol to denote whether buyers or sellers are in control.
How to Use
• Settings: Adjust the settings to align with your trading strategy. You can modify the length for average volume, ATR, and other parameters to suit your trading style.
• Volume Analysis: Monitor the buying and selling columns to determine market activity. The larger columns indicate higher volume, suggesting a strong buying or selling pressure.
• Dominance: Pay attention to the dominance markers. Green markers indicate buying dominance, while red markers signify selling dominance. If the market is indecisive, the marker will be gray.
• Ratio: A ratio above 1 suggests buying dominance, while a ratio below 1 indicates selling dominance. The ratio's appended color tag helps quickly identify which side is in control.
• Labels: The labels provide a snapshot of key data, including total volume, buyer/seller percentages, average volume, ratio, and ATR. This information is helpful in understanding overall market conditions.
Reading the Indicator
• Buying and Selling Columns: These represent the respective volumes for each side. Positive columns are buying volumes, and negative columns are selling volumes.
• Dominance Circles: A circle appears at the zero baseline to show which side is currently dominant. A blue circle indicates buying dominance, while a red circle indicates selling dominance.
• Ratio with Dominance: The label includes a ratio with a tag showing who is in control. A green tag indicates buyers, and a red tag indicates sellers.
• ATR and Average Volume: The label provides additional context with ATR and average volume, helping you understand volatility and relative volume.
Volume Gauge Addition : Introduced a volume gauge display option to visualize the relative strength of buying vs. selling volumes. Users can toggle this feature on or off according to their analysis needs.
Total Volume
Metric: Displays "Total Vol."
Value: Shows the total trading volume for the current bar, formatted in a human-readable format (K for thousands, M for millions). Additionally, it shows the percentage of this volume relative to the average volume, aiding in understanding volume spikes or drops.
Usage: Compare current volume to historical averages to identify unusual market activity.
Average Volume
Metric: Displays "Avg Vol."
Value: Shows the simple moving average of the volume over a user-defined period, formatted similarly to Total Volume.
Usage: Helps determine if current volume is above or below average, indicating potential interest or disinterest in the asset.
Buyers
Metric: Displays "BUYERS."
Value: Shows the volume of buying calculated from the upward price movements within the bar, along with its percentage of the total volume.
Usage: Spot dominance in buying activity which might suggest bullish conditions.
Sellers
Metric: Displays "SELLERS."
Value: Shows the volume of selling calculated from the downward price movements within the bar, along with its percentage of the total volume.
Usage: Spot dominance in selling activity which might suggest bearish conditions.
Delta
Metric: Displays "Delta."
Value: Shows the difference between buying and selling volumes, providing a quick snapshot of which side of the market is exerting more pressure.
Usage: Use to gauge overall market sentiment and potential price direction.
Ratio
Metric: Displays "Ratio."
Value: Shows the ratio of buying volume to selling volume, providing insight into the relative strength of buyers vs. sellers.
Usage: Ratios significantly above or below 1 can indicate strong market biases.
ATR (Average True Range)
Metric: Displays "ATR."
Value: Shows the current ATR value to gauge volatility, with an arrow indicating the direction of change from the previous bar’s ATR.
Usage: Utilize to assess market volatility and potentially adjust trading strategies or risk management settings.
Dynamic Background Colors
The table employs dynamic background colors for certain metrics to visually represent data intensity or significance:
Total Volume: Changes color based on the percentage relative to the average volume.
Buyers/Sellers: The background color indicates whether buying or selling is dominant.
Delta and Ratio: Colors change based on their calculated values to reflect market conditions quickly.
What is Volume Delta?
Volume delta, also known as volume difference or volume delta divergence, refers to the difference between buying (accumulation) and selling (distribution) volumes within a given time period. It provides a quantitative measure of the net buying or selling pressure in the market.
How to Use Volume Delta:
Identifying Market Sentiment:
Positive delta values indicate that buying volume exceeds selling volume, suggesting bullish sentiment.
Negative delta values indicate that selling volume exceeds buying volume, suggesting bearish sentiment.
Confirming Price Movements:
Volume delta can be used to confirm price movements. For example, if prices are rising and volume delta is positive, it may suggest that the uptrend is supported by strong buying interest.
Conversely, if prices are falling and volume delta is negative, it may suggest that the downtrend is supported by strong selling pressure.
Spotting Divergence:
Divergence between price and volume delta can signal potential trend reversals. For example, if prices are rising but volume delta is declining (or vice versa), it may indicate weakening momentum and a possible reversal in trend.
Confirming Breakouts:
Volume delta can help confirm breakout moves. For instance, a breakout accompanied by increasing positive delta values may suggest strong buying interest and validate the breakout.
In summary, volume delta provides valuable insights into market sentiment and can be used alongside price action analysis to make more informed trading decisions.
