Digital MACD Divergences MTF [LUPEN]Digital MACD Divergences MTF V1.0
Overview:
Digital MACD Divergences MTF is an advanced momentum oscillator based on digital signal processing techniques.
Instead of relying on traditional moving-average smoothing, it applies Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filters to extract momentum more cleanly, reducing lag and short-term market noise.
The indicator is designed to provide a clear visualization of momentum structure, divergence behavior, and multi-timeframe context, rather than discrete trading signals.
Conceptual Architecture
At its core, the indicator reinterprets the classic MACD framework through digital convolution logic:
FIR filters are used to compute momentum in a more responsive and stable manner than standard EMA-based MACD.
The resulting histogram represents momentum intensity and direction as a continuous state rather than binary conditions.
A digitally smoothed signal line provides structural reference without introducing excessive delay.
This approach emphasizes momentum quality and structure, not signal frequency.
Divergence Detection Logic:
The script includes automatic divergence detection based on pivot analysis:
Regular bullish and bearish divergences are identified using confirmed pivot points.
Divergences are visualized with explicit line structures and optional filled areas, highlighting the zone of disagreement between price behavior and momentum.
The visualization is designed to remain readable without obscuring price action.
Divergences are presented as contextual information, not as mandatory actions.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Context
Digital MACD Divergences MTF supports native multi-timeframe analysis through a dual-pane workflow:
A lower-timeframe instance visualizes local momentum dynamics.
A higher-timeframe instance visualizes the broader momentum regime within which lower-timeframe fluctuations occur.
The higher-timeframe view is not intended as confirmation or filtering logic, but as a contextual background layer that helps interpret short-term momentum behavior inside a larger structural environment.
This separation avoids decision compression and keeps each timeframe’s role conceptually distinct.
Visual Design
Gradient-based histogram fills represent momentum intensity in a continuous manner.
Positive and negative momentum regions are clearly differentiated while remaining adaptable to both dark and light chart themes.
All visual elements are designed to emphasize state and regime, not discrete events.
Reliability
No repainting: all divergences and momentum states are confirmed on candle close and remain fixed.
Designed for consistency across instruments and timeframes.
Customization Options
Timeframe selection for MTF mode (leave empty to use the chart’s timeframe).
Adjustable signal smoothing parameters.
Divergence visibility controls, pivot sensitivity, and optional divergence fill.
Fully customizable color palette.
Usage Notes
This indicator is a visual market analysis tool intended to support momentum interpretation and structural context.
It does not provide investment advice, trading signals, or automated decision logic, and should be used as part of a broader analytical framework.
Final quotes:
"Trading is not about prediction, but about understanding momentum structure.
Digital MACD removes noise to make that structure visible."
Market Probability Dashboard📊 Market Probability Dashboard
Market Probability Dashboard is a context-driven analytical tool designed to help traders assess directional bias and market conditions using a probabilistic framework.
It does not generate buy/sell signals. Instead, it provides a structured view of bullish vs bearish probability, market regime, and execution readiness — allowing traders to make informed discretionary decisions.
🔍 What This Indicator Does
This indicator estimates the probability of directional movement in the market by combining:
Futures-based momentum and volatility (execution focus)
Spot-based structure and regime (context focus)
A bounded probability engine with adaptive caps
A visual state model for decision clarity
The output is a dashboard + histogram that summarizes market conditions in real time.
🧠 Probability Model (High-Level)
The probability engine follows these principles:
Baseline neutrality: Starts from 50%
Momentum adjustment: Futures EMA alignment nudges probability
Volatility awareness: Expanding volatility increases confidence
Regime control: Spot-derived regime limits probability extremes
Clamping: Probabilities are intentionally bounded to avoid overconfidence
All probabilities are relative, not predictive.
⏱ Timeframe Logic (Auto Mode)
When Auto Timeframe Engine is enabled:
Execution timeframe = chart timeframe
Context timeframe = automatically derived higher timeframe
Regime timeframe = higher-order structure timeframe
This design helps reduce confusion between execution vs context, especially for intraday traders.You may disable Auto Mode and use fixed timeframes if preferred.

Gold Projection DivergenceGOLD PROJECTION DIVERGENCE
Oscillator Companion for the Gold Macro Projection Model
OVERVIEW
The Gold Projection Divergence oscillator quantifies how far gold is trading from its projected fair value. While the main indicator shows where gold should be, this oscillator shows how extreme the mispricing is—providing precise timing signals for entries and exits.
HOW IT WORKS
The oscillator calculates the difference between actual gold price and the projected value, then normalizes it as a Z-score . This statistical measure shows how many standard deviations gold is trading away from its projected fair value.
Z > +2 — Gold is 2+ standard deviations above fair value (extremely overvalued)
Z > +1 — Gold is moderately overvalued
Z = 0 — Gold is trading at projected fair value
Z < -1 — Gold is moderately undervalued
Z < -2 — Gold is 2+ standard deviations below fair value (extremely undervalued)
VISUAL ELEMENTS

Momentum Color Classification System### Code Analysis: Momentum Color Classification System (Pine Script v5)
#### Core Function
This is a **non-overlay TradingView Pine Script v5 indicator** designed to quantify and categorize price momentum dynamics with extreme precision. It calculates core momentum from price Rate of Change (ROC) and second-derivative momentum change, then classifies market momentum into 9 distinct states (bullish variations, bearish variations, and neutral oscillation). The indicator visualizes momentum via color-coded histogram bars, and provides real-time status labels, a detailed info dashboard, and actionable trading suggestions — all to help traders accurately identify momentum strength, acceleration/deceleration trends, and guide long/short trading decisions.
#### Key Features (Concise & Clear)
1. **9-tier Precise Momentum Classification**
Divides momentum into **4 bullish states** (accelerating/decelerating/steady/weak up), **4 bearish states** (accelerating/decelerating/steady/weak down) and 1 neutral oscillation state, fully covering all momentum trend phases in the market.
2. **2-dimensional Momentum Calculation**
Combines **1st-order momentum** (price ROC-based core momentum) and **2nd-order momentum change** (momentum acceleration/deceleration), plus absolute momentum strength, to comprehensively judge momentum direction, speed and intensity.
3. **Color-Coded Visualization with Hierarchy**
Uses a gradient color system (vibrant-to-pale green for bullish, vivid-to-light red for bearish, gray for neutral) with transparency differentiation to reflect momentum strength; histogram style ensures intuitive observation, paired with a dotted zero reference line for clear bias judgment.
4. **Practical Trading Auxiliary Tools**
Supports toggleable status labels for extreme momentum (accelerating up/down); embeds a top-right dashboard displaying real-time momentum values, change rate, state, strength level and direct trading suggestions, enabling one-glance market judgment.
5. **High Customizability**
Allows adjustment of core parameters (momentum calculation period, smoothing factor) and toggling of label display, with reasonable parameter ranges to adapt to different trading assets and timeframes.
6. **Trade-Oriented Decision Guidance**
Maps each momentum state to corresponding strength levels and actionable operation advice (long/add position, short/add position, hold, reduce position, wait), directly linking technical analysis to actual trading behavior.
Multi-Factor Long Bias ToolThe Multi Factor Long Bias Tool is designed to highlight periods when multiple bullish conditions align, helping traders identify higher probability long opportunities. By combining trend, momentum, and participation metrics into a unified visual signal, the indicator goes beyond single factor analysis to support more consistent decision making.
Optimized for a 1-hour chart, it integrates four complementary components—MACD momentum, RSI confirmation, volume participation, and optional short interest filtering—to reveal when market conditions collectively favor a long bias rather than isolated upswings.
Core Logic
1. Momentum confirmation with MACD (1 Hour Frame):
The tool uses a fast MACD configuration to capture short term momentum shifts. A bullish MACD state—where the MACD line is above its signal line, above zero, and supported by a positive histogram—indicates that short term momentum exceeds long term trend strength. This alignment reflects sustained upward pressure rather than temporary mean reversion.
2. Relative strength moderation via RSI:
RSI serves as a context filter to avoid extremes. The tool favors an RSI that falls between the oversold and overbought thresholds, typically between 30 and 70. This “healthy momentum zone” identifies when price maintains strength without being overheated, aligning with controlled, directional moves rather than exhaustion.
3. Volume backed participation:
A volume filter confirms whether moves are supported by meaningful market participation. The script compares current daily volume to its 20-day average; only sessions meeting or exceeding a user defined multiple (default: 1×) qualify as high volume days. This ensures momentum signals align with genuine liquidity rather than thin, unreliable activity.
4. Optional short interest condition:
An additional input allows traders to incorporate short interest data, either manually or from external sources. When enabled, the tool verifies that short interest meets a chosen minimum percentage before validating a long bias. This feature is especially useful for setups targeting potential short squeezes or for avoiding markets lacking a meaningful contrarian base.
Signal Interpretation
When MACD momentum, RSI positioning, volume participation, and optional short interest filters align, the chart background softens to green, indicating a “long bias” environment.
If the “Focus on Longs Only” option is active, a small upward triangle marker labeled LONG appears beneath price bars for clear visual confirmation.
Traders can also choose to view MACD, its signal line, histogram, and RSI in a detachable sub panel. This optional visualization makes it easy to inspect alignment between underlying momentum and the on-chart bias signal without cluttering the main price view.
Why These Factors Are Combined
Each component contributes a distinct layer of confirmation:
Momentum + liquidity: Ensures directional strength is backed by solid participation, preventing false breakouts on low volume moves.
RSI moderation: Filters out overextended rallies and unsustainable intraday spikes.
Short interest filter: Adds an optional contrarian check for potential squeeze setups or sentiment imbalance.
Together, these signals improve reliability by demanding agreement across multiple perspectives—trend, momentum, and market depth—before painting a bullish bias.
Practical Use and Tuning
The indicator serves as a bias and timing aid rather than a standalone trading system. It helps discretionary traders focus attention on periods when multiple conditions favor looking for long entries, while leaving exact entry, exit, and risk parameters to individual strategies.
All inputs—including MACD lengths, RSI range, daily volume multiplier, and short interest requirements—are fully adjustable to match various instruments, timeframes, and trading styles.
For instance:
Adjusting MACD lengths fine tunes responsiveness to trend shifts.
Modifying RSI thresholds changes the tolerance for extended momentum.
Raising the volume multiplier demands stronger conviction from market participants.
Visual Cues
Background highlight: Shaded green when all long bias conditions align.
Triangle markers: “LONG” indicators below bars when the tool detects favorable conditions.
Optional chart pane: Displays MACD and RSI for manual confirmation.
Intended Use
This tool assists traders in recognizing when technical, behavioral, and participation factors converge to support long opportunities. It is best used as part of a comprehensive trading process that includes broader context analysis, defined risk management, and confirmation from higher timeframe trends.
All parameters are user configurable for customization across markets and trading approaches. This indicator is for analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.
VaRz BTC/Gold Risk MeterVaRz Risk Meter (BTC vs Risk-On & Gold Safe-Haven Proxy)
The VaRz Risk Meter is a macro sentiment oscillator designed to measure Bitcoin’s relative strength and directional bias using key risk-appetite and safe-haven flows.
Indicator Components
VIX → Market fear & volatility benchmark
NASDAQ 100 (NDX) → Primary risk-on proxy (growth/tech capital flow)
Gold (XAUUSD) → Safe-haven strength alternative to USD index
Bitcoin (BTCUSDT) → Used only for normalization reference, not bias calculation
Core Logic
All assets are normalized on a 0–100 scale using a 100-period rolling window to create a balanced comparison across markets.
The Bitcoin Macro Bias Histogram is calculated as:
NASDAQ strength − VIX fear − Gold safe-haven strength
This produces a macro directional regime for Bitcoin:
Market Regimes Interpretation
Indicator State Meaning for BTC
NASDAQ high + VIX low + Gold weak Risk-On environment → Bullish for Bitcoin
Gold strong + VIX rising + NASDAQ weak Risk-Off / flight to safety → Bearish pressure on BTC
All assets near 50 with no trend Neutral / Sideways → Macro indecision
How to Use
This is not a direct entry signal, but a macro bias filter
Best combined with:
Market Structure, Liquidity zones, Orderflow, Volume analysis, and Elliott Wave context
Bias becomes more reliable on higher timeframes (1W, 1M) but works on any chart
Key Insight
Bitcoin behaves as a hybrid risk asset. This indicator helps track when capital is:
Rotating into risk markets (favorable for BTC)
or
Seeking protection in gold and volatility hedges (unfavorable for BTC)
The histogram visually maps these shifts to give traders a clear macro regime awareness in one window.
Market Entropy [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated information theory-based market analysis system that measures price randomness and structural order using Shannon entropy calculations across price, returns, and volume distributions. Utilizing adaptive percentile-based thresholds and multi-timeframe confirmation, this indicator delivers institutional-grade regime classification distinguishing between structured trending conditions and chaotic ranging environments. The system's composite entropy framework combined with dynamic gradient visualization and MTF alignment validation provides comprehensive market state assessment for optimal strategy selection and risk management.
🔶 Advanced Shannon Entropy Engine
Implements pure information theory methodology using histogram distribution analysis with configurable bin counts to calculate normalized entropy values for price, returns, and volume metrics. The system constructs probability distributions from rolling windows, applies logarithmic entropy calculations, and normalizes against theoretical maximum entropy to produce 0-1 bounded measurements of market randomness and predictability.
float entropy = 0.0
float total = float(len)
for i = 0 to bins - 1
float count = array.get(bin_counts, i)
if count > 0
float prob = count / total
entropy -= prob * math.log(prob) / math.log(2)
float max_entropy = math.log(bins) / math.log(2)
result := entropy / max_entropy
🔶 Adaptive Percentile Threshold System
Features intelligent threshold determination using rolling percentile calculations over configurable calibration periods to establish structure and chaos zones that adapt to changing market characteristics. The system calculates lower percentile for structure threshold (ordered markets) and upper percentile for chaos threshold (random markets), enabling regime classification that adjusts automatically to market evolution.
🔶 Multi-Timeframe Alignment Framework
Implements comprehensive MTF entropy analysis retrieving composite entropy from three configurable higher timeframes with alignment validation logic. The system calculates divergence between current timeframe entropy and higher timeframe values, generating confirmation signals only when all timeframes exhibit entropy agreement within tolerance bands for enhanced signal reliability.
🔶 Three-Regime Classification Engine
Provides sophisticated market state determination classifying conditions as structure (entropy below lower threshold), chaos (entropy above upper threshold), or neutral (entropy between thresholds) with regime strength measurement. The system tracks regime transitions and calculates conviction scores based on distance from thresholds, enabling nuanced assessment of market order versus randomness.
🔶 Composite Entropy Architecture
Combines three distinct entropy measurements weighted by relevance to create unified market randomness metric with exponential smoothing for stability. The system applies 40% weight to price entropy (distribution shape), 35% to return entropy (movement patterns), and 25% to volume entropy (participation randomness), capturing comprehensive market microstructure information.
🔶 Dynamic Gradient Visualization System
Features advanced color blending engine that transitions between primary and secondary colors based on entropy momentum intensity with glow effects for conviction emphasis. The system calculates entropy rate of change, normalizes against recent extremes, and applies smooth color interpolation from secondary to primary hues as momentum intensifies, creating intuitive visual representation of regime strength.
🔶 Intelligent Zone Fill Architecture
Implements multi-layer gradient fills within structure and chaos zones that intensify as entropy moves deeper into extremes, providing immediate visual feedback on regime conviction. The system creates three-tier gradient levels at 33%, 66%, and 100% penetration into zones with progressively lower transparency, emphasizing extreme entropy conditions requiring attention.
🔶 Momentum-Based Divergence Detection
Generates entry signals when entropy crosses below bull divergence level or above bear divergence level, identifying potential regime transitions before price confirmation. The system monitors entropy momentum direction during threshold crossings and validates with MTF alignment, producing high-probability reversal signals at entropy extremes.
🔶 Normalized Display Framework
Provides 0-100 scaled visualization using adaptive min-max normalization calculated from percentile analysis, ensuring consistent visual interpretation across different market conditions and instruments. The system transforms raw composite entropy into normalized space with dynamic thresholds, enabling cross-market and cross-timeframe entropy comparison.
🔶 Regime Strength Measurement
Calculates conviction scores measuring depth of entropy penetration into structure or chaos zones relative to historical ranges, quantifying how definitively current conditions favor trending versus ranging strategies. The system produces 0-1 strength values that modulate visual intensity and can inform position sizing or strategy allocation decisions.
🔶 Performance Optimization Framework
Utilizes efficient array operations with optimized histogram calculations and configurable lookback limits to balance accuracy with computational efficiency. The system includes intelligent caching of percentile calculations and streamlined probability summations for smooth real-time entropy updates across extended historical periods.
🔶 Why Choose Market Entropy ?
This indicator delivers sophisticated market regime analysis through pure information theory methodology measuring actual randomness versus structure in price behavior. Unlike traditional volatility or trend indicators that measure price movement characteristics, Market Entropy quantifies the fundamental predictability of market conditions using Shannon entropy calculations. The system's composite approach combining price, return, and volume distributions with adaptive thresholds, MTF confirmation, and gradient visualization makes it essential for traders seeking objective regime classification to optimize strategy selection. Low entropy (structure zone) indicates ordered, trending conditions favorable for directional strategies, while high entropy (chaos zone) signals random, ranging markets better suited for mean reversion or reduced exposure. The indicator excels at identifying regime transitions before they become obvious in price action across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets.
Harmonic Liquidity Waves [JOAT]Harmonic Liquidity Waves
Overview
Harmonic Liquidity Waves is an open-source oscillator indicator that combines multiple volume-based analysis techniques into a unified liquidity flow framework. It integrates VWAP calculations, Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), Money Flow Index (MFI), and Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO) with custom harmonic wave calculations to provide a comprehensive view of volume dynamics and money flow.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Liquidity Flow - Volume-weighted price movement accumulated over a lookback period
Harmonic Wave - Multi-depth smoothed oscillator derived from liquidity flow
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) - Classic accumulation/distribution indicator
Money Flow Index (MFI) - Volume-weighted RSI showing buying/selling pressure
Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO) - Trend-volume relationship indicator
Wave Interference - Combined constructive/destructive wave patterns
Volume Profile POC - Point of Control from simplified volume distribution
How It Works
The core liquidity flow calculation tracks volume-weighted price changes:
calculateLiquidityFlow(series float vol, series float price, simple int period) =>
float priceChange = ta.change(price)
float volumeFlow = vol * math.sign(priceChange)
// Accumulated over period using buffer array
float avgFlow = flowSum / period
avgFlow
The harmonic oscillator applies multi-depth smoothing:
harmonicOscillator(series float flow, simple int depth, simple int period) =>
float harmonic = 0.0
for i = 1 to depth
float wave = ta.ema(flow, period * i) / i
harmonic += wave
harmonic / depth
CMF measures accumulation/distribution using the Money Flow Multiplier:
float mfm = ((close - low) - (high - close)) / (high - low)
float mfv = mfm * vol
float cmf = ta.sum(mfv, period) / ta.sum(vol, period) * 100
Signal Generation
Liquidity shift signals occur when:
Bullish Shift: Smoothed wave crosses above signal line
Bearish Shift: Smoothed wave crosses below signal line
Strong signals require volume indicator confirmation:
Strong Bull: Bullish shift + CMF > 0 + MFI > 50 + KVO > 0
Strong Bear: Bearish shift + CMF < 0 + MFI < 50 + KVO < 0
Divergence detection compares price pivots with liquidity wave pivots to identify potential reversals.

Hookes Kinetics | IkkeOmarHooke's Kinetics: A Physics-Based Volatility System
This indicator applies the principles of Hooke's Law to financial time series data to model market volatility as a system of potential and kinetic energy.
Theoretical Foundation: Hooke's Law In physics, Hooke's Law states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance: F = -kx, where k is the spring constant.
Potential Energy (PE): PE = 0.5 * k * x^2 Kinetic Energy (KE): Energy possessed due to motion.
In this system, we treat Price Action as a spring. Compression (Potential Energy): When price consolidates, volatility compresses. The "spring" is being wound up. Energy is accumulated, not released. Release (Kinetic Energy): When price breaks out of compression, potential energy transforms into kinetic energy. The spring snaps back, driving price motion.
Indicator Mechanics The Hooke's Kinetics oscillator visualizes this energy transfer cycle to identify trend origins and exhaustion points.
Accumulating Energy (Potential): The Blue Area represents the buildup of Potential Energy. This occurs during periods of low volatility (consolidation). The algorithm detects when price variance drops below a threshold (representing spring compression) and aggregates this "stored force" over time. As long as the price remains compressed, the Blue potential energy grows.
Energy Conversion (Kinetic Release): The Red Histogram represents Kinetic Energy. When volatility expands significantly (a breakout), the system triggers a release event. The accumulated Blue potential energy is discharged and converted into the Red kinetic spike. This marks the moment the "spring" is released.
Trend Direction & Decay: Once the Kinetic Energy (Red spike) appears, the "explosive" phase is active. As the Red histogram decays (lowers back to zero), the market enters a coasting phase. The trend direction is established by the price movement during the initial Kinetic release. Traders observe the price vector as the Red energy dissipates to confirm the prevailing trend.
Reversion Signals (Bonus): Extreme peaks in Kinetic Energy (exceptionally high Red spikes) indicate a maximum extension of the spring. Just as a physical spring oscillates, extreme kinetic release often precedes a mean reversion. If price action opposes the direction of the Kinetic decay, it signals a likely reversal.
Visual Reference Referencing the chart above: Blue Ramp: Note the linear buildup of the blue area during sideways price action. This is the "loading" phase. Red Spike: Note the immediate drop in Blue and spike in Red coinciding with the green highlight circles on the chart. These are the breakout points. Green Circles: These highlight the specific candles where Potential converted to Kinetic, marking the optimal entry or decision points.

The system defines market state using a composite variable "k" (Stiffness), which combines Price Volatility (NATR) and Relative Volume (RVOL).
k_price = range_natr != 0 ? 1.0 - ((natr - lowest_natr) / range_natr) : 0 k = (k_price * price_weight) + (k_vol * vol_weight) Here, we normalize volatility relative to a historical lookback. High values of "k" indicate high compression—this is the "winding" of the spring.
if is_compressed potential_energy := potential_energy + k kinetic_energy := kinetic_energy * DECAY_RATE When the market is tighter than the user-defined "stiff_thresh", the system accumulates Potential Energy. Note that Kinetic Energy actively decays during this phase, simulating friction or inertia slowing down price movement.
else drain_factor = (1.0 - k) transfer = potential_energy * drain_factor potential_energy := potential_energy - transfer kinetic_energy := (kinetic_energy * DECAY_RATE) + (transfer * ENERGY_MULT) This acts as the conservation of energy. We do not reset Potential to zero instantly; we drain it. The "drain_factor" ensures that a violent expansion (low k) drains potential energy faster than a mild move. This transferred energy is scaled up and added to the Kinetic state.
Note - AMPLITUDE MATTERS!
Observe the amplitude of the Kinetic Energy - higher peaks are more significant. Lower values are usually artifacts, but they can indicate mean reversion on a smaller scale while price remains within a range.

## What This Indicator Does
This indicator combines two powerful concepts to identify complete market cycles:
### 1. Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear)
Detects **volatility compression** (consolidation) and subsequent **expansion** (breakout).
**Think of it like:** A spring being compressed, then released.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe Trend Exhaustion
Measures how far price has moved from its moving averages across multiple timeframes.
**Think of it like:** A rubber band being stretched—eventually it must snap back.
### The Complete Cycle
```
Consolidation → Breakout → Trend → Exhaustion → Reversion → Consolidation
```
This indicator shows you exactly where you are in this cycle.

## Visual Components
### Main Panel (Bottom)
| Element | What It Looks Like | Meaning |
|---------|-------------------|---------|
| **Colored Bars** | Green/Red histogram | Momentum strength and direction |
| **Filled Area** | Yellow/Lime/Red gradient area | Price extension from moving averages |
| **Cross at Zero** | Black/Gray/Blue cross | Squeeze state (volatility) |
| **Dashed Lines** | Horizontal red/green lines | Extension thresholds (±2σ scaled) |
---
### 1. Momentum Histogram (Colored Bars)
| Color | Direction | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| **Bright Green** (Lime) | Up ↑ | Strong bullish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Green** | Up ↑ | Weak bullish momentum (decreasing) |
| **Bright Red** | Down ↓ | Strong bearish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Red** (Maroon) | Down ↓ | Weak bearish momentum (decreasing) |
**Key insight:** When bars change from bright to dark, momentum is fading.
---
### 2. Extension Area (Filled Gradient)
Shows how extended price is from its moving averages across 5 timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily).
| Color | Position | Meaning |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Red** | High above zero | Severely overbought (>2σ scaled) |
| **Orange/Yellow** | Above zero | Moderately overbought |
| **Lime/Green** | Below zero | Moderately oversold |
| **Teal** | Deep below zero | Severely oversold (<-2σ scaled) |
**The area is scaled 3x** for better visibility. Actual values shown in table.
**Reading it:**
- **Area touching upper dashed line** = Price very far above averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area touching lower dashed line** = Price very far below averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area near zero** = Price near its averages (normal/neutral)
---
### 3. Squeeze Indicator (Cross at Zero Line)
| Color | Status | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| **Black** ⚫ | Squeeze ON | Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels → Low volatility, consolidation |
| **Gray** ⚪ | Squeeze OFF | Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels → Volatility expanding, breakout |
| **Blue** 🔵 | No Squeeze | Normal volatility conditions |
**Critical:** The transition from Black → Gray is where explosive moves begin.

---
### Exit Signals
#### Exit Long (Orange X)
**Appears when:**

Step 2: BREAKOUT (⚡)
Chart: Strong green candle breaks resistance
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY (Squeeze OFF)
Bright GREEN momentum bars appear
Extension area still near zero or slightly below
Signal: Large green triangle appears
Action: ENTER LONG
Stop loss below consolidation
Target: Extension upper line
Step 3: TRENDING (↗️)
Chart: Series of higher highs and higher lows
Indicator: Momentum bars stay bright green
Extension area rising toward upper line
Area color transitions yellow → orange → red
Action: HOLD, trailing stop
Step 4: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes new high but with smaller candle
Indicator: Extension area touches upper dashed line
Momentum bars turn DARK green (weakening)
Orange X appears
Table shows "EXHAUSTION BULL"

### Understanding the Table
Located in top-right corner:
| Row | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| **Market State** | Current cycle phase (Consolidation/Breakout/Trending/Exhaustion) |
| **Squeeze** | 🔴 ON / 🟢 OFF / 🔵 No |
| **Momentum** | ↑ Bull / ↓ Bear / ~ Weak / — Neutral |
| **Extension** | Actual value in standard deviations (σ) - NOT scaled |
| **Confluence** | How many timeframes agree (X/5 🔺 or 🔻) |
| **Velocity** | Speed of extension change (↑ increasing, ↓ decreasing) |
| **ACTION** | What to do right now |
**Most important rows:**
1. **Market State** - Quick glance at current cycle
2. **Confluence** - Determines signal quality
3. **ACTION** - Direct guidance
---
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
1. **Wait for High Confidence signals** (large triangles)
- Don't trade every small signal
- Quality over quantity
2. **Use the complete cycle**
- Enter on Breakout (⚡)
- Hold through Trending (↗️/↘️)
- Exit on Exhaustion (🔴/🟢)
3. **Respect confluence**
- 4/5 or 5/5 = Excellent probability
- 3/5 = Good probability
- 1-2/5 = Skip
4. **Combine with price action**
- Support/resistance levels
- Volume confirmation
- Candlestick patterns
5. **Set alerts**
- "Squeeze OFF" - Don't miss breakouts
- "HC Long Setup" / "HC Short Setup"
- "Exit Long" / "Exit Short"
6. **Scale positions**
- Enter 50% on signal
- Add 25% if extension confirms
- Add final 25% if momentum sustains
7. **Use proper risk management**
- Stop loss: Below/above consolidation
- Position size: 1-2% account risk
- Take profit: Extension targets or signals
---
### ❌ DON'T
1. **Don't trade Consolidation state**
- Black cross (Squeeze ON) = Wait mode
- No signals during consolidation
2. **Don't chase Extended moves**
- If extension already >2σ when Squeeze fires
- Even if momentum looks good
- Wait for reversion first
3. **Don't fight strong trends**
- If extension is growing and momentum strong
- Don't counter-trend trade
- Wait for exhaustion signals
4. **Don't ignore velocity**
- If velocity is ↑ and extension high = still dangerous
- If velocity is ↓ and extension high = safer reversal
5. **Don't trade low confluence**
- 1/5 or 2/5 = Different timeframes disagree
- High chance of false signal
6. **Don't use blindly**
- Check overall market context
- Major news events can override signals
- Trend on higher timeframe matters
7. **Don't overtrade**
- Good setups are rare (that's why they work)
- Wait for complete setup formation
---

### State → Action Quick Guide
| See This State | Do This |
|---------------|---------|
| 💤 CONSOLIDATION | Wait, set alerts |
| ⚡ BREAKOUT | Enter in direction |
| ↗️/↘️ TRENDING | Hold positions |
| ⚠️ EXTENDED | Tighten stops, no new entries |
| 🔴/🟢 EXHAUSTION | Exit, consider reversal |
| — NEUTRAL | No trade |
---
## Troubleshooting
**Q: Indicator shows Exhaustion but price keeps going**
**A:** Check velocity and momentum. If still bright bars + velocity ↑, wait. True exhaustion needs momentum weakening.
**Q: Too many false signals**
**A:** Increase Min Confluence to 4/5. Use longer timeframe chart (4h instead of 1h).
**Q: Missing good trades**
**A:** Set alerts for "Squeeze OFF" and "HC Entry" signals. You can't watch charts 24/7.
**Q: Extension area looks weird**
**A:** Remember it's scaled 3x for visibility. Check table for actual values.
**Q: Which timeframe is best?**
**A:** 4H for swing trading, 1H for day trading. Lower = more signals but more noise.
**Q: Can I use this with other indicators?**
**A:** Yes! Combine with:
- Volume profile
- Support/resistance levels
- Moving averages on chart
- RSI for additional confirmation
---
## Final Thoughts
This indicator gives you a complete picture of market structure:
- **Where are we?** (Market State)
- **Where are we going?** (Momentum)
- **How far can it go?** (Extension)
- **When will it reverse?** (Exhaustion)
The key is **patience**. Wait for the complete setup:
1. Consolidation (⚫ Squeeze ON)
2. Breakout (⚪ Squeeze OFF)
3. Right extension direction (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Strong confluence (3/5+)
When all pieces align, you get high-probability trades with clear entries, targets, and exits.
**Trade the cycle, not every wiggle.**

Order Flow: Structural Sniper [Profile + Signals]Overview
This script is a comprehensive tool designed to bridge the gap between Market Structure and Order Flow analysis. It aims to eliminate the subjectivity of static support and resistance lines by focusing on dynamic liquidity and the behavior of aggressive versus passive market participants.
Unlike traditional indicators that plot static data, the Structural Delta Map dynamically anchors its analysis to the start of the current trend (Pivots), providing a clear "X-Ray" view of how volume was distributed during the current price swing.
How it Works
The indicator combines three distinct technical concepts into a single system:
1. Market Structure (Pivots):
It uses a pivot detection algorithm to identify significant Swing Highs and Swing Lows. This determines the market bias and anchors the analysis to the origin of the movement.
2. Anchored VWAP (Fair Price):
It automatically calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) starting from the last confirmed pivot. This yellow line acts as the "spine" of the trend, serving as dynamic institutional support/resistance.
3. Delta Profile & Heatmap:
A Volume Profile is plotted on the left side, anchored to the pivot.
Split Delta: Instead of a single color, bars are split into Green (Buying Volume) and Red (Selling Volume) based on price action estimation.
Heatmap Logic: The opacity of the bars adjusts automatically. Bright/Solid bars represent High Volume Nodes (HVN), while transparent bars represent Low Volume Nodes (LVN) or liquidity voids.
How to Use (Strategy)
The indicator provides both visual context and specific entry signals:
1. Visual Context:
Profile: Look for reactions at bright, wide bars (High Volume Nodes). These act as magnets or barriers.
Yellow Line (VWAP): In an uptrend, look for buy opportunities when price retraces to this line. In a downtrend, look for shorts on the retest.
2. Aggression Signals (Triangle "AGR"):
Type: Trend Continuation / Pullback.
Logic: Triggers when price retraces to the structural value zone (near VWAP), rejects it with higher-than-average volume, and closes in the direction of the trend.
3. Absorption Signals (Cross "ABS"):
Type: Reversal / Trap.
Logic:
Bullish Absorption: Price makes a new local low with high volume (selling pressure), but the candle closes bullish (leaving a long bottom wick). Passive buyers absorbed the aggression.
Bearish Absorption: Price makes a new local high with high volume, but closes bearish. Passive sellers absorbed the buying pressure.
Settings
Pivot Sensitivity: Adjusts how the script detects trend changes.
Profile Resolution: Controls the number of rows in the histogram.
Signal Filters: Enable/Disable signals and adjust the Volume Multiplier threshold.
Technical Disclaimer
This indicator estimates "Delta" (Buy vs. Sell volume) based on OHLC price action and bar volume, as Pine Script does not grant access to historical tick-by-tick data. While this approximation is highly effective for identifying aggression and absorption, it differs slightly from Level 2 footprint data found on platforms like Sierra Chart. Accuracy depends on the volume data provided by your exchange.
GC1 Orderflow Engine - sudoTLDR
This indicator measures relative buying and selling pressure by comparing GC1! futures returns against XAU price returns, normalized by their own volatility and weighted by GC1! volume. The result is a pressure histogram and line that show whether futures orderflow is leading, lagging, or diverging from spot gold in real time.
What this indicator does
The Orderflow Engine is designed to answer one core question:
Is GC1! futures orderflow applying net pressure in the same direction as XAU, or pushing against it?
It does this by isolating relative strength and weakness between futures and spot, rather than looking at price direction alone.
How the pressure calculation works
1. GC1! futures returns and XAU returns are calculated bar by bar
2. Each return is normalized by its own recent volatility
3. The normalized XAU return is subtracted from the normalized GC1! return
This creates a relative pressure value:
Positive pressure - GC1! futures are outperforming XAU
Negative pressure - GC1! futures are underperforming XAU
Near zero - futures and spot are moving in balance
To emphasize meaningful activity:
GC1! volume is converted into a normalized score
Higher-than-normal futures volume increases the weight of the pressure
Low-volume pressure is naturally dampened
The final output is clamped to keep the scale stable across different market conditions.
Visual output
Histogram
Green bars - positive futures pressure
Red bars - negative futures pressure
Gray bars - neutral or minimal pressure
Pressure line
A smoother view of the same pressure data
Useful for spotting momentum shifts and divergence
Zero line
Represents balance between futures and spot
Crosses often mark changes in orderflow control
Optional annotations
Regime shift markers based on futures participation
Optional percent-change labels for studying pressure acceleration
How to use it
-Confirm whether price moves are supported by futures orderflow
-Spot early divergence between GC1! and XAU
-Identify absorption , distribution , or initiative behavior
-Filter entries by trading only when pressure aligns with your bias
-This tool is best used as confirmation and context, not as a standalone signal generator.
Design philosophy
-Self-normalizing across sessions and volatility regimes
-No fixed thresholds that break over time
-Focused on relative behavior, not prediction
-Built to pair naturally with the Participation Regime indicator
