MT-Trend Zone IdentifierTrend Zone Identifier – A Dynamic Market Trend Mapping Tool
Overview
The Trend Zone Identifier is an advanced TradingView indicator that helps traders visualize different market trend phases. By leveraging Pivot Points, Moving Averages (MA), ADX (Average Directional Index), and Retest Confirmation, this tool identifies uptrend, downtrend, and ranging (sideways) conditions dynamically.
This indicator is designed to segment the market into clear trend zones, allowing traders to distinguish between confirmed trends, trend transitions (pending zones), and ranging markets. It provides an intuitive visual overlay to enhance market structure analysis and assist in decision-making.
Key Features
✔ Trend Zone Identification – Classifies price action into Uptrend (Green), Downtrend (Red), Pending Confirmation (Light Colors), and Sideways Market (Gray/Neutral)
✔ Pivot-Based Breakout & Breakdown Detection – Uses pivot highs/lows to determine trend shifts
✔ Moving Average & ADX Validation – Ensures the trend is backed by MA structure and ADX trend strength
✔ Pullback Confirmation – Allows trend confirmation based on price retesting key levels
✔ Extreme Volatility & Gaps Filtering – Optional ATR-based extreme movement filtering to avoid false signals
✔ Multi-Timeframe Support – Option to integrate higher timeframe trend validation
✔ Customizable Sensitivity – Fine-tune MA smoothing, ADX thresholds, pivot detection, and pullback range
How It Works
1. Trend Classification
• Uptrend (Green): Price is above a key MA, ADX confirms strength, and a pivot breakout occurs
• Downtrend (Red): Price is below a key MA, ADX confirms strength, and a pivot breakdown occurs
• Pending Trend (Light Colors): Initial trend breakout or breakdown is detected but requires further confirmation
• Sideways/Ranging (Gray): ADX signals a weak trend, and price remains within a neutral zone
2. Retest & Confirmation Logic
• A trend is only confirmed after a breakout or breakdown followed by a successful retest
• If the market fails the retest, the indicator resets to a neutral state
3. Custom Filters for Optimization
• Enable or disable volume filtering for confirmation
• Adjust pivot sensitivity to detect major or minor swing points
• Choose to require consecutive bars confirming the breakout/breakdown
Ideal Use Cases
🔹 Swing traders who want to capture trend transitions early
🔹 Trend-following traders who rely on confirmed market cycles
🔹 Range traders looking to identify sideways market zones
🔹 Algorithmic traders who need clean trend segmentation for automated strategies
Final Thoughts
The Trend Zone Identifier is a versatile market structure indicator that helps traders define trend cycles visually and avoid trading against weak trends. By providing clear breakout, breakdown, and retest conditions, it enhances market clarity and reduces decision-making errors.

Crypto Market Cap Momentum Analyzer (AiBitcoinTrend)The Crypto Market Cap Momentum Analyzer (AiBitcoinTrend) is a robust tool designed to uncover trading opportunities by blending market cap analysis and momentum dynamics. Inspired by research-backed quantitative strategies, this indicator helps traders identify trend-following and mean-reversion setups in the cryptocurrency market by evaluating recent performance and market cap size.
This indicator classifies cryptocurrencies into market cap quintiles and ranks them based on their 2-week momentum. It then suggests potential trades—whether to go long, anticipate reversals, or simply hold—based on the crypto's market cap group and momentum trends.
👽 How the Indicator Works
👾 Market Cap Classification
The indicator categorizes cryptocurrencies into one of five market cap groups based on user-defined inputs:
Large Cap: Highest market cap tier
Upper Mid Cap: Second highest group
Mid Cap: Middle-tier market caps
Lower Mid Cap: Slightly below the mid-tier
Small Cap: Lowest market cap tier
This classification dynamically adjusts based on the provided market cap data, ensuring that you’re always working with a representative market structure.
👾 Momentum Calculation
By default, the indicator uses a 2-week momentum measure (e.g., a 14-day lookback when set to daily). It compares a cryptocurrency’s current price to its price 14 bars ago, thereby quantifying its short-term performance. Users can adjust the momentum period and rebalance period to capture shorter or longer-term trends depending on their trading style.
👾 Dynamic Ranking and Trade Suggestions
After assigning cryptos to size quintiles, the indicator sorts them by their momentum within each quintile. This two-step process results in:
Long Trade: For smaller market cap groups (Small, Lower Mid, Mid Cap) that have low (bottom-quintile) momentum, anticipating a trend continuation or breakout.
Reversal Trade: For the largest market cap group (Large Cap) that shows low momentum, expecting a mean-reversion back to equilibrium.
Hold: In scenarios where the coin’s momentum doesn’t present a strong contrarian or trend-following signal.
👽 Applications
👾 Trend-Following in Smaller Caps: Identify small or mid-cap cryptos with low momentum that might be poised for a breakout or sustained trend.
👾 Mean-Reversion in Large Caps: Pinpoint large-cap cryptocurrencies experiencing a temporary lull in performance, potentially ripe for a rebound.
👽 Why It Works in Crypto
The cryptocurrency market is heavily driven by retail investor sentiment and volatility. Research shows that:
Small-Cap Cryptos: Tend to experience higher volatility and speculative trends, making them ideal for momentum trades.
Large-Cap Cryptos: Exhibit more predictable behavior, making them suitable for mean-reversion strategies when momentum is low.
This indicator captures these dynamics to give traders a strategic edge in identifying both momentum and reversal opportunities.
👽 Indicator Settings
👾 Rebalance Period: The frequency at which momentum and trade suggestions are recalculated (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
Shorter Periods (Daily): Fast updates, suitable for short-term trades, but more noise.
Longer Periods (Weekly/Monthly): Smoother signals, ideal for swing trading and more stable trends.
👾 Momentum Period: The lookback period for momentum calculation (default is 14 bars).
Shorter Periods: More responsive but prone to noise.
Longer Periods : Reflects broader trends, reducing sensitivity to short-term fluctuations.

How it works:
1. Sweep Detection:
- Identifies when price briefly moves beyond a recent high/low (pivot point) and then reverses.
- Bullish sweep: Price drops below a recent low, then closes above it.
- Bearish sweep: Price rises above a recent high, then closes below it.
2. Market Structure Shift (MSS):
- Occurs when price action invalidates a previous sweep level.
- Bullish MSS: Price closes above a bearish sweep level.
- Bearish MSS: Price closes below a bullish sweep level.
Key Features:
- Customizable pivot lookback length for sweep detection
- Minimum bar requirement after a sweep before MSS can trigger
- One MSS per sweep level to avoid multiple signals
- Visual representation with lines connecting sweep points to MSS triggers
- Emoji labels for easy identification (🐂-MSS for bullish, 🐻-MSS for bearish)
Logic Behind MSS:
The MSS aims to identify potential trend changes by recognizing when the market invalidates a previous sweep level. This often indicates a shift in market structure, suggesting that the previous trend may be weakening or reversing.
- A bullish MSS occurs when the price closes above a bearish sweep level, potentially signaling a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment.
- A bearish MSS occurs when the price closes below a bullish sweep level, potentially signaling a shift from bullish to bearish sentiment.

This indicator can be a valuable tool for traders looking to identify potential trend changes and entry/exit points based on market structure analysis.
Time Based 3 Candle Model CRT FrameworkThe 3 Candle Model Overview:
The 3 Candle Model serves as a sophisticated framework for traders to navigate the complexities of financial markets, particularly within futures and forex trading. This guide not only elaborates on the model's key features but also emphasizes its originality and practical usefulness in the TradingView community. The core principle of the 3 Candle Model revolves around understanding how candle patterns can represent significant price ranges, offering valuable insights into potential market movements. By integrating the model with other critical trading concepts such as the Power of Three (PO3), Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC), and Turtle Soup setups, traders can enhance their ability to identify high-probability trades and achieve better trading outcomes.
Indicator includes:
3 Customizable Timeframe choices to fractally frame 3 candle models for precision
Live Timers for each timeframe to always be aware of the models timing
Parent Candle tracking on every preffered timeframe until new models parent candle is printed
Key Features of the 3 Candle Model
The 3 Candle Model primarily utilizes a three-candle structure, where the first candle establishes a price range, the second candle may act as a confirmation (often termed a "turtle soup"), and the third candle provides the breakout or continuation. This structure is pivotal in determining entry and exit points for trades, ensuring that each trading decision is backed by solid price action analysis.
OHLC Principle:
The Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) concept is integral to the 3 Candle Model, allowing traders to analyze price action more effectively. Understanding the relationship between these four price points helps traders gauge market sentiment and potential reversals. By incorporating OHLC into the model, traders can develop a deeper understanding of market structure and its implications for future price movements.
Delivery States:
The 3 Candle Model emphasizes the importance of delivery states, which refer to the market's phase during specific time frames.

Volumatic Variable Index Dynamic Average [BigBeluga]The Volumatic VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average) indicator is a trend-following tool that calculates and visualizes both the current trend and the corresponding buy and sell pressure within each trend phase. Using the Variable Index Dynamic Average as the core smoothing technique, this indicator also plots volume levels of lows and highs based on market structure pivot points, providing traders with key insights into price and volume dynamics.
Additionally, it generates delta volume values to help traders evaluate buy-sell pressure balance during each trend, making it a powerful tool for understanding market sentiment shifts.
BTC:
TSLA:
🔵 IDEA
The Volumatic VIDYA indicator's core idea is to provide a dynamic, adaptive smoothing tool that identifies trends while simultaneously calculating the volume pressure behind them. The VIDYA line, based on the Variable Index Dynamic Average, adjusts according to the strength of the price movements, offering a more adaptive response to the market compared to standard moving averages.
By calculating and displaying the buy and sell volume pressure throughout each trend, the indicator provides traders with key insights into market participation. The horizontal lines drawn from the highs and lows of market structure pivots give additional clarity on support and resistance levels, backed by average volume at these points. This dual analysis of trend and volume allows traders to evaluate the strength and potential of market movements more effectively.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
VIDYA Calculation:
The Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) is a special type of moving average that adjusts dynamically to the market’s volatility and momentum. Unlike traditional moving averages that use fixed periods, VIDYA adjusts its smoothing factor based on the relative strength of the price movements, using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) to capture the magnitude of price changes. When momentum is strong, VIDYA adapts and smooths out price movements quicker, making it more responsive to rapid price changes. This makes VIDYA more adaptable to volatile markets compared to traditional moving averages such as the Simple Moving Average (SMA) or the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which are less flexible.
// VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average) function
vidya_calc(src, vidya_length, vidya_momentum) =>
float momentum = ta.change(src)
float sum_pos_momentum = math.sum((momentum >= 0) ? momentum : 0.0, vidya_momentum)
float sum_neg_momentum = math.sum((momentum >= 0) ? 0.0 : -momentum, vidya_momentum)
float abs_cmo = math.abs(100 * (sum_pos_momentum - sum_neg_momentum) / (sum_pos_momentum + sum_neg_momentum))
float alpha = 2 / (vidya_length + 1)
var float vidya_value = 0.0
vidya_value := alpha * abs_cmo / 100 * src + (1 - alpha * abs_cmo / 100) * nz(vidya_value )
ta.sma(vidya_value, 15)
When momentum is strong, VIDYA adapts and smooths out price movements quicker, making it more responsive to rapid price changes. This makes VIDYA more adaptable to volatile markets compared to traditional moving averages
Triangle Trend Shift Signals:
The indicator marks trend shifts with up and down triangles, signaling a potential change in direction. These signals appear when the price crosses above a VIDYA during an uptrend or crosses below during a downtrend.
Volume Pressure Calculation:
The Volumatic VIDYA tracks the buy and sell pressure during each trend, calculating the cumulative volume for up and down bars. Positive delta volume occurs during uptrends due to higher buy pressure, while negative delta volume reflects higher sell pressure during downtrends. The delta is displayed in real-time on the chart, offering a quick view of volume imbalances.
Market Structure Pivot Lines with Volume Labels:
The indicator draws horizontal lines based on market structure pivots, which are calculated using the highs and lows of price action. These lines are extended on the chart until price crosses them. The indicator also plots the average volume over a 6-bar range to provide a clearer understanding of volume dynamics at critical points.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
VIDYA Length & Momentum: Control the sensitivity of the VIDYA line by adjusting the length and momentum settings, allowing traders to customize the smoothing effect to match their trading style.
Volume Pivot Detection: Set the number of bars to consider for identifying pivots, which influences the calculation of the average volume at key levels.
Band Distance: Adjust the band distance multiplier for controlling how far the upper and lower bands extend from the VIDYA line, based on the ATR (Average True Range).
ICT Balanced Price Range [TradingFinder] BPR | FVG + IFVG🔵 Introduction
The ICT Balanced Price Range (BPR) indicator is a valuable tool that helps traders identify key areas on price charts where a balance between buyers and sellers is established. These zones can serve as critical points for potential price reversals or continuations.
🟣 Bullish Balanced Price Range
A Bullish BPR forms when a buying pressure zone (Bullish FVG) overlaps with a Bullish Inversion FVG. This overlap indicates a high probability of price moving upwards, making it a crucial area for traders to consider.
🟣 Bearish Balanced Price Range
Similarly, a Bearish BPR is created when a selling pressure zone (Bearish FVG) overlaps with a Bearish Inversion FVG. This zone is often seen as a key area where the price is likely to move downward.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Identifying the Balanced Price Range (BPR)
To identify the Balanced Price Range (BPR), you must first locate two Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the price chart. One FVG should be on the sell side, and the other on the buy side. When these two FVGs horizontally oppose each other, the area where they overlap is recognized as the Balanced Price Range (BPR).
This BPR zone is highly sensitive to price movements due to the combination of two FVGs, often leading to strong market reactions. As the price approaches this area, the likelihood of a significant market move increases, making it a prime target for professional traders.
🟣 Bullish Balanced Price Range (Bullish BPR)
To effectively trade using a Bullish BPR, begin by identifying a bullish market structure and searching for bullish Price Delivery Arrays (PD Arrays). Once the market structure shifts to bullish in a lower time frame, locate a Bullish FVG within the Discount Zone that overlaps with a Bearish FVG.
Mark this overlapping zone and wait for the price to test it before executing a buy trade. Alternatively, you can set a Buy Limit order with a stop loss below the recent swing low and target profits based on higher time frame liquidity draws.
🟣 Bearish Balanced Price Range (Bearish BPR)
For bearish trades, start by identifying a bearish market structure and look for bearish PD Arrays. After the market structure shifts to bearish in a lower time frame, identify a Bearish FVG within the Discount Zone that overlaps with a Bullish FVG. Mark this overlapping zone and execute a sell trade when the price tests it.
You can also use a Sell Limit order with a stop loss above the recent swing high and target profits according to higher time frame liquidity draws.

ICT Silver Bullet | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Silver Bullet Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Silver Bullet" strategy. The strategy has 5 steps for execution and works best in 1-5 min timeframes. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Silver Bullet Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Silver Bullet Strategy
Customizable Execution Settings
2 NY Sessions & London Session
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
ICT's Silver Bullet strategy has 5 steps :
1. Mark your market sessions open (This indicator has 3 -> NY 10-11, NY 14-15, LDN 03-04)
2. Mark the swing liquidity points
3. Wait for market to take down one liquidity side
4. Look for a market structure-shift for reversals
5. Wait for a FVG for execution
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart. You can switch execution types between FVG and MSS.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Silver Bullet concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. It's designed for simplyfing a rather complex strategy, helping you to execute it with clean signals. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Execution Type -> FVG execution type will require a FVG to take an entry, while the MSS setting will take an entry as soon as it detects a market structure-shift.
MSS Swing Length -> The swing length when finding liquidity zones for market structure-shift detection.
Breakout Method -> If "Wick" is selected, a bar wick will be enough to confirm a market structure-shift. If "Close" is selected, the bar must close above / below the liquidity zone to confirm a market structure-shift.
FVG Detection -> "Same Type" means that all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). "All" means that bar types may vary between bullish / bearish.
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You can turn this setting on and off. If it's off, any 3 consecutive bullish / bearish bars will be calculated as FVGs. If it's on, the size of FVGs will be filtered by the selected sensitivity. Lower settings mean less but larger FVGs.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails.
Close Position @ Session End -> If this setting is enabled, the current position (if any) will be closed at the beginning of a new session, regardless if it hit the TP / SL zone. If it's off, the position will be open until it hits a TP / SL zone.
Smart Money Oscillator [ChartPrime]The "Smart Money Oscillator " is a premium and discount zone oscillator with BOS and CHoCH built in for further analysis of price action. This indicator works by first determining the the premium and discount zones by using pivot points and high/lows. The top of this oscillator represents the current premium zone while the bottom half of this oscillator represents the discount zone. This oscillator functionally works like a stochastic oscillator with more sophisticated upper and lower bounds generated using smart money concept theories. We have included a moving average to allow the user to visualize the currant momentum in the oscillator. Another key feature we have included lagging divergences to help traders visualize potential reversal conditions.
Understanding the concepts of Premium and Discount zones, as well as Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), is crucial for traders using the Smart Money Oscillator. These concepts are rooted in market structure analysis, which involves studying price levels and movements.
Premium Zone is where the price is considered to be relatively high or 'overbought'. In this zone, prices have risen significantly and may indicate that the asset is becoming overvalued, potentially leading to a reversal or slowdown in the upward trend.
The Discount Zone represents a 'discount' or 'oversold' area. Here, prices have fallen substantially, suggesting that the asset might be undervalued. This could be an indicator of a potential upward reversal or a pause in the downward trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) is about the continuation of a trend. In a bullish trend, a BoS is identified by the break of a recent higher high. In a bearish trend, it's the break of a recent Lower Low. BoS indicates that the trend is strong and likely to continue in its current direction. It's a sign of strength in the prevailing trend, whether up or down.
Change of Character (CHoCH) is an indication of a potential end to a trend. It occurs when there's a significant change in the market's behavior, contradicting the current trend. For example, in an uptrend characterized by higher highs and higher lows, a CHoCH may occur if a new high is formed but then is followed by an impulsive move downwards. This suggests that the bullish trend may be weakening and a bearish reversal could be imminent. CHoCH is essentially a sign of trend exhaustion and potential reversal.
With each consecutive BoS, the signal line of the oscillator will deepen in color. This allows you to visually see the strength of the current trend. The maximum strength of the trend is found by keeping track of the maximum number of consecutive BoS's within a window of 10. This calculation excludes periods without any BoS's to allow for a more stable max.
Quick Update is a feature that implements a more aggressive algorithm to update the highs and lows. Instead of updating the pivot points exclusively to update the range levels, it will attempt to use the current historical highs/lows to update the bounds. This results in a more responsive range at the cost of stability. There are pros and cons for both settings. With Quick Update disabled, the indicator will allow for strong reversals to register without the indicator maxing out. With Quick Update enabled, the indicator will show shorter term extremes with the risk of the signal being pinned to the extremities during strong trends or large movements. With Quick Update disabled, the oscillator prioritizes stability, using a more historical perspective to set its bounds. When Quick Update is enabled, the oscillator becomes more responsive, adjusting its bounds rapidly to reflect the latest market movements.
The Scale Offset feature allows the indicator to break the boundaries of the oscillator. This can be useful when the market is breaking highs or lows allowing the user to identify extremities in price. With Scale Offset disabled the oscillator will always remain inside of the boundaries because the extremities will be updated instantly. When this feature is enabled it will update the boundaries one step behind instead of updating it instantly. This allows the user to more easily see overbought and oversold conditions at the cost of incurring a single bar lag to the boundaries. Generally this is a good idea as this behavior makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price spikes or drops, reflecting sudden market movements more accurately. It accentuates the extremities of the market conditions, potentially offering a more aggressive analysis. The main trade-off with the Scale Offset feature is between sensitivity and potential overreaction. It offers a more immediate and exaggerated reflection of market conditions but might also lead to misinterpretations in certain scenarios, especially in highly volatile markets.
Divergence is used to predict potential trend reversals. It occurs when the price of an asset and the reading of an oscillator move in opposite directions. This discrepancy can signal a weakening of the current trend and possibly indicate a potential reversal.
Divergence doesn't always lead to a trend reversal, but it's a warning sign that the current trend might be weakening. Divergence can sometimes give false signals, particularly in strongly trending markets where the oscillator may remain in overbought or oversold conditions for extended periods. The lagging nature of using pivot points to calculate divergences means that all divergences are limited by the pivot look forward input. The upside of using a longer look forward is that the divergences will be more accurate. The obvious con here is that it will be more delayed and might be useless by the time it appears. Its recommended to use the built in divergences as a way to learn how these are formed so you can make your own in real time.
By default, the oscillator uses a smoothing of 3 to allow for a more price like behavior while still being rather smooth compared to raw price data. Conversely, you can increase this value to make this indicator behave smoother. Something to keep in mind is that the amount of delay from real time is equal to half of the smoothing period.
We have included a verity of alerts in this indicator. Here is a list of all of the available alerts: Bullish BOS, Bearish BOS, Bullish CHoCH, Bearish CHoCH, Bullish Divergence, Hidden Bullish Divergence, Bearish Divergence, Hidden Bearish Divergence, Cross Over Average, Cross Under Average.
Below are all of the inputs and their tooltips to get you started:

Consolidation Spotter Multi Time FrameThis tool is designed for traders looking to spot areas of consolidation on their charts across various time frames. It highlights these consolidation areas using visually appealing boxes, making it easier to identify potential breakout or breakdown zones.
How To Use:
Spotting Consolidation: When you see a box form on your chart, this represents a consolidation zone. Within this zone, the price is moving sideways without a strong upward or downward trend.
Anticipating Breakouts & Breakdowns: Watch the price as it approaches the edges of the box. A movement outside the box can signal a potential breakout (if above the box) or a breakdown (if below the box). This is where momentum shifts can happen.
Momentum Confirmation: Once the price clearly moves out of the box, it indicates a momentum shift. If the price moves upwards out of the box, this can be seen as bullish momentum. Conversely, if the price moves downwards out of the box, this can be seen as bearish momentum.
To use the tool effectively, adjust the settings to suit your trading style, choose your preferred visual theme, and watch as the script highlights key consolidation areas on your chart.
Tip: To visualize fractals, consider using multiple instances of the "Consolidation Spotter" indicator, each set to a different timeframe. This approach allows you to observe consolidations nested within larger consolidations, offering deeper insights into market structures. 😉
Advanced Volatility-Adjusted Momentum IndexAdvanced Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Index (AVAMI)
The AVAMI is a powerful and versatile trading index which enhances the traditional momentum readings by introducing a volatility adjustment. This results in a more nuanced interpretation of market momentum, considering not only the rate of price changes but also the inherent volatility of the asset.
Settings and Parameters:
Momentum Length: This parameter sets the number of periods used to calculate the momentum, which is essentially the rate of change of the asset's price. A shorter length value means the momentum calculation will be more sensitive to recent price changes. Conversely, a longer length will yield a smoother and more stabilized momentum value, thereby reducing the impact of short-term price fluctuations.
Volatility Length: This parameter is responsible for determining the number of periods to be considered in the calculation of standard deviation of returns, which acts as the volatility measure. A shorter length will result in a more reactive volatility measure, while a longer length will produce a more stable, but less sensitive measure of volatility.
Smoothing Length: This parameter sets the number of periods used to apply a moving average smoothing to the AVAMI and its signal line. The purpose of this is to minimize the impact of volatile periods and to make the indicator's lines smoother and easier to interpret.
Lookback Period for Scaling: This is the number of periods used when rescaling the AVAMI values. The rescaling process is necessary to ensure that the AVAMI values remain within a consistent and interpretable range over time.
Overbought and Oversold Levels: These levels are thresholds at which the asset is considered overbought (potentially overvalued) or oversold (potentially undervalued), respectively. For instance, if the AVAMI exceeds the overbought level, traders may consider it as a possible selling opportunity, anticipating a price correction. Conversely, if the AVAMI falls below the oversold level, it could be seen as a buying opportunity, with the expectation of a price bounce.
Mid Level: This level represents the middle ground between the overbought and oversold levels. Crossing the mid-level line from below can be perceived as an increasing bullish momentum, and vice versa.
Show Divergences and Hidden Divergences: These checkboxes give traders the option to display regular and hidden divergences between the AVAMI and the asset's price. Divergences are crucial market structures that often signal potential price reversals.
Index Logic:
The AVAMI index begins with the calculation of a simple rate of change momentum indicator. This raw momentum is then adjusted by the standard deviation of log returns, which acts as a measure of market volatility. This adjustment process ensures that the resulting momentum index encapsulates not only the speed of price changes but also the market's volatility context.
The raw AVAMI is then smoothed using a moving average, and a signal line is generated as an exponential moving average (EMA) of this smoothed AVAMI. This signal line serves as a trigger for potential trading signals when crossed by the AVAMI.
The script also includes an algorithm to identify 'fractals', which are distinct price patterns that often act as potential market reversal points. These fractals are utilized to spot both regular and hidden divergences between the asset's price and the AVAMI.
Application and Strategy Concepts:
The AVAMI is a versatile tool that can be integrated into various trading strategies. Traders can utilize the overbought and oversold levels to identify potential reversal points. The AVAMI crossing the mid-level line can signify a change in market momentum. Additionally, the identification of regular and hidden divergences can serve as potential trading signals:
Regular Divergence: This happens when the asset's price records a new high/low, but the AVAMI fails to follow suit, suggesting a possible trend reversal. For instance, if the asset's price forms a higher high but the AVAMI forms a lower high, it's a regular bearish divergence, indicating potential price downturn.
Hidden Divergence: This is observed when the price forms a lower high/higher low, but the AVAMI forms a higher high/lower low, suggesting the continuation of the prevailing trend. For example, if the price forms a lower low during a downtrend, but the AVAMI forms a higher low, it's a hidden bullish divergence, signaling the potential continuation of the downtrend.
As with any trading tool, the AVAMI should not be used in isolation but in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and within the context of a well-defined trading plan.

Iambuoyant High Win Rate TraderIambuoyant High Win Rate Trader (Debug Signals) - Indicator Description
Introduction
The "Iambuoyant High Win Rate Trader" is a comprehensive Pine Script indicator designed to identify high-probability trading opportunities across various market conditions. Built with a multi-faceted approach, it integrates several key technical analysis concepts to provide robust buy and sell signals, aiming to maximize potential returns while managing risk. This indicator is particularly useful for traders looking for confirmed entries based on a confluence of factors rather than relying on a single signal.
Strategies Used
This indicator employs a sophisticated combination of strategies, each contributing to a stronger signal when aligned:
Trend Analysis:
Multiple EMAs: It utilizes three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) – a fast, slow, and a longer-term trend EMA – to establish the prevailing market direction. Signals are filtered to align with this identified trend, enhancing their probability of success.
Trend Alignment: Confirms that price action is consistent with the established EMA trend, ensuring trades are taken in the direction of momentum.
Oscillator Confirmation:
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Employs RSI to identify overbought and oversold conditions, with a specific focus on the RSI turning away from extreme levels, suggesting a potential reversal or continuation point.
Stochastic Oscillator: Similar to RSI, the Stochastic Oscillator is used to pinpoint overbought and oversold zones, with additional confirmation from the %K and %D lines crossing or turning.
Momentum and Divergence (MACD):
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): The indicator analyzes MACD line and signal line crossovers, alongside histogram movement, to gauge momentum shifts and potential trade entries.
Volume Analysis:
Volume Confirmation: Integrates volume analysis by comparing current volume to a Volume Moving Average. Higher-than-average volume during a signal can confirm conviction behind the price move.
Market Structure and Volatility:
Support and Resistance (S/R) Levels: Dynamic support and resistance levels are identified using pivot points. These levels are used to inform potential stop-loss placements and to ensure trades aren't initiated directly into strong opposing S/R zones.
Average True Range (ATR): ATR is used to measure market volatility, which helps in adjusting trade sizing and stop-loss distances. A volatility filter is included to prevent trades in excessively choppy or illiquid conditions.
Risk Management:
Dynamic Stop Loss: The indicator attempts to identify logical stop-loss levels based on recent price action or nearby support/resistance.
Risk:Reward Ratio Filtering: A configurable minimum Risk:Reward ratio ensures that only trades with a favorable potential return relative to the risk are considered, promoting disciplined trading.
Signal Confirmation:
Confirmation Bars: An optional confirmBars input allows for signals to be confirmed over a specified number of bars, reducing false positives by waiting for price action to sustain the initial signal. (Note: For debugging, this is often set to 0 for immediate signals.)
How to Use the Indicator
Add to Chart: Apply the "Iambuoyant High Win Rate Trader (Debug Signals)" indicator to your desired chart in TradingView. It's an overlay indicator, meaning it will plot directly on your price chart.
Understand the Signals:
Buy Signals (Green Triangles/Labels): Appear below the price bars, indicating a potential long entry.
Sell Signals (Red Triangles/Labels): Appear above the price bars, indicating a potential short entry.
"Flash" Signals: Smaller, colored triangles indicate the immediate bar where the signal conditions are first met.
"Confirmed" Signals: Larger, shaded triangles with labels indicate that the signal has passed the confirmBars criteria (if confirmBars is set to greater than 0).
Utilize Debugging Features (Crucial for Optimization):
Access Inputs: Open the indicator's settings by clicking the gear icon next to its name on the chart.
"Signal Components (Debugging)" Section: This is the most powerful feature for tailoring the indicator to your needs.
Initial Setup: When first applying the indicator or if signals are too rare, start by setting most "Enable X Condition" toggles to false, potentially leaving only one or two simple conditions (e.g., "Enable RSI Condition" or "Enable Trend Alignment") as true. This will force signals to appear, allowing you to confirm the plotting mechanism works.
Gradual Re-enabling: Once you see signals, gradually re-enable one "Enable X Condition" at a time.
Observe Debug Plots (Lower Pane): Below your main chart, the indicator plots colored columns (e.g., "Debug: RSI Bull", "Debug: MACD Bear"). These show when each individual component of the long/short signal is true (1 or 2) or false (0 or na). The "Debug: Final Long Signal" and "Debug: Final Short Signal" plots show when the combined signal conditions are met.
Identify Bottlenecks: If signals disappear after enabling a new condition, observe its corresponding debug plot. If it's frequently 0 when other conditions are 1, you've found a bottleneck.
Adjust Parameters: For bottlenecks, go back to the relevant input section (e.g., "Oscillators," "Market Structure," "Signal Quality") and adjust parameters (e.g., rsiOB/rsiOS, stochOB/stochOS, volatilityFilter, minRRRatio) to be less strict until signals appear at your desired frequency. Alternatively, you may decide to leave that specific condition disabled if it's too restrictive for your strategy.
Configure Display Options: Use the "Display" group in the inputs to toggle the visibility of labels, support/resistance lines, and EMA trend lines on your chart.
Set Up Alerts: The indicator includes built-in alert conditions for "Confirmed Buy Signal" and "Confirmed Sell Signal." You can set up alerts in TradingView to be notified instantly when these signals occur, allowing you to monitor the market without constant chart watching.
Pullback Pro Dow Strategy v7 (ADX Filter)
### **Strategy Description (For TradingView)**
#### **Title:** Pullback Pro: Dow Theory & ADX Strategy
---
#### **1. Summary**
This strategy is designed to identify and trade pullbacks within an established trend, based on the core principles of Dow Theory. It uses market structure (pivot highs and lows) to determine the trend direction and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to pinpoint pullback entry opportunities.
To enhance trade quality and avoid ranging markets, an ADX (Average Directional Index) filter is integrated to ensure that entries are only taken when the trend has sufficient momentum.
---
#### **2. Core Logic: How It Works**
The strategy's logic is broken down into three main steps:
**Step 1: Trend Determination (Dow Theory)**
* The primary trend is identified by analyzing recent pivot points.
* An **Uptrend** is confirmed when the script detects a pattern of higher highs and higher lows (HH/HL).
* A **Downtrend** is confirmed by a pattern of lower highs and lower lows (LH/LL).
* If neither pattern is present, the strategy considers the market to be in a range and will not seek trades.
**Step 2: Entry Signal (Pullback to EMA)**
* Once a clear trend is established, the strategy waits for a price correction.
* **Long Entry:** In a confirmed uptrend, a long position is initiated when the price pulls back and crosses *under* the specified EMA.
* **Short Entry:** In a confirmed downtrend, a short position is initiated when the price rallies and crosses *over* the EMA.
**Step 3: Confirmation & Risk Management**
* **ADX Filter:** To ensure the trend is strong enough to trade, an entry signal is only validated if the ADX value is above a user-defined threshold (e.g., 25). This helps filter out weak signals during choppy or consolidating markets.
* **Stop Loss:** The initial Stop Loss is automatically and logically placed at the last market structure point:
* For long trades, it's placed at the `lastPivotLow`.
* For short trades, it's placed at the `lastPivotHigh`.
* **Take Profit:** Two Take Profit levels are calculated based on user-defined Risk-to-Reward (R:R) ratios. The strategy allows for partial profit-taking at the first target (TP1), moving the remainder of the position to the second target (TP2).
---
#### **3. Input Settings Explained**
**① Dow Theory Settings**
* **Pivot Lookback Period:** Determines the sensitivity for detecting pivot highs and lows. A smaller number makes it more sensitive to recent price swings; a larger number focuses on more significant, longer-term pivots.
**② Entry Logic (Pullback)**
* **Pullback EMA Length:** Sets the period for the Exponential Moving Average used to identify pullback entries.
**③ Risk & Exit Management**
* **Take Profit 1 R:R:** Sets the Risk-to-Reward ratio for the first take-profit target.
* **Take Profit 1 (%):** The percentage of the position to be closed when TP1 is hit.
* **Take Profit 2 R:R:** Sets the Risk-to-Reward ratio for the final take-profit target.
**④ Filters**
* **Use ADX Trend Filter:** A master switch to enable or disable the ADX filter.
* **ADX Length:** The lookback period for the ADX calculation.
* **ADX Threshold:** The minimum ADX value required to confirm a trade signal. Trades will only be placed if the ADX is above this level.
---
#### **4. Best Practices & Recommendations**
* This is a trend-following system. It is designed to perform best in markets that exhibit clear, sustained trending behavior.
* It may underperform in choppy, sideways, or strongly ranging markets. The ADX filter is designed to help mitigate this, but no filter is perfect.

Active PMI Support/Resistance Levels [EdgeTerminal]The PMI Support & Resistance indicator revolutionizes traditional technical analysis by using Pointwise Mutual Information (PMI) - a statistical measure from information theory - to objectively identify support and resistance levels. Unlike conventional methods that rely on visual pattern recognition, this indicator provides mathematically rigorous, quantifiable evidence of price levels where significant market activity occurs.
- The Mathematical Foundation: Pointwise Mutual Information
Pointwise Mutual Information measures how much more likely two events are to occur together compared to if they were statistically independent. In our context:
Event A: Volume spikes occurring (high trading activity)
Event B: Price being at specific levels
The PMI formula calculates: PMI = log(P(A,B) / (P(A) × P(B)))
Where:
P(A,B) = Probability of volume spikes occurring at specific price levels
P(A) = Probability of volume spikes occurring anywhere
P(B) = Probability of price being at specific levels
High PMI scores indicate that volume spikes and certain price levels co-occur much more frequently than random chance would predict, revealing genuine support and resistance zones.
- Why PMI Outperforms Traditional Methods
Subjective interpretation: What one trader sees as significant, another might ignore
Confirmation bias: Tendency to see patterns that confirm existing beliefs
Inconsistent criteria: No standardized definition of "significant" volume or price action
Static analysis: Doesn't adapt to changing market conditions
No strength measurement: Can't quantify how "strong" a level truly is
PMI Advantages:
✅ Objective & Quantifiable: Mathematical proof of significance, not visual guesswork
✅ Statistical Rigor: Levels backed by information theory and probability
✅ Strength Scoring: PMI scores rank levels by statistical significance
✅ Adaptive: Automatically adjusts to different market volatility regimes
✅ Eliminates Bias: Computer-calculated, removing human interpretation errors
✅ Market Structure Aware: Reveals the underlying order flow concentrations
- How It Works
Data Processing Pipeline:
Volume Analysis: Identifies volume spikes using configurable thresholds
Price Binning: Divides price range into discrete levels for analysis
Co-occurrence Calculation: Measures how often volume spikes happen at each price level
PMI Computation: Calculates statistical significance for each price level
Level Filtering: Shows only levels exceeding minimum PMI thresholds
Dynamic Updates: Refreshes levels periodically while maintaining historical traces
Visual System:
Current Levels: Bright, thick lines with PMI scores - your actionable levels
Historical Traces: Faded previous levels showing market structure evolution
Strength Tiers: Line styles indicate PMI strength (solid/dashed/dotted)
Color Coding: Green for support, red for resistance
Info Table: Real-time display of strongest levels with scores

Risk Management:
Stop Loss Placement
Place stops 0.1-0.5% beyond PMI levels (adjust for volatility)
Higher PMI scores warrant tighter stops
Use ATR-based stops for volatile assets
Position Sizing
Larger positions at PMI levels >2.0 (highest conviction)
Smaller positions at PMI levels 0.5-1.0 (lower conviction)
Scale out at multiple PMI targets
- Key Warning Signs & What to Watch For
Red Flags:
🚨 Very Low PMI Scores (<0.3): Weak statistical significance, avoid trading
🚨 No Volume Confirmation: PMI level without recent volume spikes may be stale
🚨 Overcrowded Levels: Too many levels close together suggests poor parameter tuning
🚨 Outdated Levels: Historical traces are reference only, not tradeable
Optimization Tips:
✅ Regular Recalibration: Adjust parameters monthly based on market regime changes
✅ Volume Context: Always check for recent volume activity at PMI levels
✅ Multiple Timeframes: Confirm PMI levels across different timeframes
✅ Market Conditions: Higher thresholds during high volatility periods
Interpreting PMI Scores
PMI Score Ranges:
0.5-1.0: Moderate statistical significance, proceed with caution
1.0-1.5: Good significance, reliable for most trading strategies
1.5-2.0: Strong significance, high-confidence trade setups
2.0+: Very strong significance, institutional-grade levels
Historical Context: The historical trace system shows how support and resistance evolve over time. When current levels align with multiple historical traces, it indicates persistent market memory at those prices, significantly increasing the level's reliability.
Range Breakout [sgbpulse]Range Breakout
1. Overview
The "Range Breakout " indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify and visually display price ranges on your chart using pivot points. It dynamically draws two distinct boxes – an External Range and an Internal Range – helping traders pinpoint potential support and resistance zones. Beyond its visual representation, the indicator offers a comprehensive set of 12 unique breakout alerts, providing real-time notifications for significant price movements outside these defined ranges. Additionally, it integrates RSI and MFI metrics for momentum confirmation.
2. How It Works
The indicator operates by identifying pivot points based on user-defined "left" and "right" bar lengths. A high pivot is a bar with a specified number of lower highs both to its left and right, and similarly for a low pivot.
External Range: Calculated using longer pivot lengths (default: 15 bars left, 6 bars right). This range represents broader, more significant price consolidation areas.
Internal Range: Calculated using shorter pivot lengths (default: 4 bars left, 3 bars right). This range captures tighter, more immediate price consolidations within the broader trend.
The External Range will always be greater than or equal to the Internal Range, as it's based on a wider historical context. Both ranges are displayed as transparent boxes on your chart, dynamically adjusting as new pivots are formed.
3. Key Features and Settings
Customizable Pivot Lengths:
External Range (Left/Right Bars): Adjust sensitivity for identifying the broader price range. Longer lengths lead to more stable, but less frequent, range updates.
Internal Range (Left/Right Bars): Adjust sensitivity for the tighter, more immediate price range.
Tool Tips: Minimum 6 bars for the External Range, and minimum 2 bars for the Internal Range.
Customizable Range Colors: Easily change the background colors of the External and Internal Range boxes to match your chart's aesthetic.
Dynamic Range Display: The indicator automatically updates the range boxes as new pivot highs and lows are formed, always presenting the most current valid ranges.
RSI / MFI Settings:
Timeframe Source: Select the timeframe for RSI and MFI calculation.
- Chart: Calculation based on the current chart timeframe.
- Daily: Always calculated based on the daily ("D") timeframe, even if the chart is on a lower timeframe.
RSI Length: Period length for RSI calculation (default: 14).
RSI Overbought Level: Overbought level for RSI (default: 70.0).
RSI Oversold Level: Oversold level for RSI (default: 30.0).
MFI Length: Period length for MFI calculation (default: 14).
MFI Overbought Level: Overbought level for MFI (default: 80.0).
MFI Oversold Level: Oversold level for MFI (default: 20.0).
4. Synergy of Ranges & Breakout Strength
The interaction between the External and Internal Ranges provides deep insights into price movement and breakout strength:
Immediate Direction: The movement of the Internal Range (up or down) indicates the short-term directional bias within the broader framework of the External Range.
Strength Confirmation: A breakout of the External Range, followed by a breakout of the Internal Range, confirms the strength of the move and increases confidence in the breakout.
Strong Momentum ("Leaving" Ranges Behind): When price breaks out with exceptionally strong momentum, it continues to move aggressively and does not immediately form new pivots. In such situations, the existing ranges (External and Internal) remain in place while the candles "leave them behind." A "Full Candle" breakout, where the entire candle moves past both ranges, indicates a particularly powerful and decisive move.
Momentum (RSI / MFI) as Confirmation:
- RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures the speed and change of price movements. Extreme values (above 70 or below 30) indicate overbought/oversold conditions respectively, confirming strong momentum in a breakout.
- MFI (Money Flow Index): Similar to RSI but incorporates volume. Extreme values (above 80 or below 20) indicate strong money flow in/out, reinforcing breakout confirmation.
- Importance of Confirmation: If a breakout occurs but momentum indicators do not confirm it (for example, an upside breakout while RSI is declining), this could signal weakness in the move and the risk of a false breakout (Fakeout).
5. Visuals
The indicator provides clear visual representations on the chart:
Range Boxes:
Two dynamic boxes are drawn on the chart: one for the External Range and one for the Internal Range.
These boxes update continuously, displaying the current range boundaries based on the latest pivots. They provide an immediate visual indication of support and resistance levels.
RSI/MFI Status Labels:
Small text labels appear to the right of the current bar, vertically centered.
They display the status of RSI and MFI: RSI OB (Overbought), RSI OS (Oversold), MFI OB, MFI OS, along with the exact value.
Important: The labels remain on the chart as long as the condition holds (indicator is above/below the level), unlike alerts which mark a singular crossover event.
Plotting of Key Values:
The indicator plots six invisible series on the chart, primarily to allow the user to view the exact numerical values of:
- The upper and lower bounds of the External Range (External High, External Low).
- The upper and lower bounds of the Internal Range (Internal High, Internal Low).
- The calculated RSI and MFI values (RSI, MFI).
These values are accessible for viewing through TradingView's Data Window and also via the Status Line when hovering over the relevant candle. This enables more precise quantitative analysis of range levels and momentum.
6. Comprehensive Breakout Alerts
The "Range Breakout " indicator provides 12 distinct alert conditions for breakouts, allowing you to select the required level of confirmation for each alert. All alerts are triggered only upon a fully confirmed bar close (barstate.isconfirmed) to minimize false signals and ensure reliability.
All breakout alerts are configured to detect a Crossover/Crossunder of the levels, meaning a specific event where the price moves from one side of the range to the other.
External Range Breakout UP
- Close: Price closes above the External Range.
- Real Body: The entire "real body" of the candle (min of open/close prices) closes above the External Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle (the lowest point of the candle) closes above the External Range.
External Range Breakout DOWN
- Close: Price closes below the External Range.
- Real Body: The entire "real body" of the candle (max of open/close prices) closes below the External Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle (the highest point of the candle) closes below the External Range.
Internal Range Breakout UP
- Close: Price closes above the Internal Range.
- Real Body: The "real body" of the candle closes above the Internal Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle closes above the Internal Range.
Internal Range Breakout DOWN
- Close: Price closes below the Internal Range.
- Real Body: The "real body" of the candle closes below the Internal Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle closes below the Internal Range.
7. Ideal Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Want to clearly identify and monitor price consolidation zones.
Seek confirmation for breakout strategies across various timeframes.
Require reliable and automated alerts for potential entry or exit points based on range expansion.
8. Complementary Indicator
For even more comprehensive market analysis, we highly recommend using this indicator in conjunction with Market Structure Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS .
This powerful complementary indicator automatically and accurately identifies significant support and resistance levels by locating high and low pivot points, as well as key Pre-Market High/Low levels. Its strength lies in its dynamic adaptability to any timeframe and asset, providing precise and relevant real-time levels while maintaining a clean chart. It also identifies Break of Structure (BoS) to signal potential trend changes or continuations.
Using both indicators together provides a robust framework for identifying defined ranges and potential trend shifts, enabling more informed trading decisions.
