Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG) What is the Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG)?
The Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG) is a unique market regime and imbalance detector that quantifies the subtle, directional “information flow” in price and volume. Inspired by information theory and market microstructure, IAG is designed to help traders spot the early buildup of conviction or surprise—the kind of hidden imbalance that often precedes major price moves.
Unlike traditional volume or momentum indicators, IAG focuses on the efficiency and directionality of information transfer: how much “informational energy” is being revealed by up-moves versus down-moves, normalized by price movement. It’s not just about net flow, but about the quality and asymmetry of that flow.
Theoretical Foundation
Information Asymmetry: Markets move when new information is revealed. If one side (buyers or sellers) is consistently more “informationally efficient” per unit of price change, an imbalance is building—even if price hasn’t moved much yet.
Gradient: By tracking the rate of change (gradient) between fast and slow information flows, IAG highlights when a subtle imbalance is accelerating.
Volatility of Asymmetry: Sudden spikes in the volatility of information asymmetry often signal regime uncertainty or the approach of a “surprise” move.
How IAG Works
Directional Information Content: For each bar, IAG estimates the “information per unit of price change” for both up-moves and down-moves, using volume and price action.
Asymmetry Calculation: Computes the difference (or ratio) between up and down information content, revealing directional bias.
Gradient Detection: Calculates both a fast and slow EMA of the asymmetry, then measures their difference (the “gradient”), normalized as a Z-score.
Volatility of Asymmetry: Tracks the standard deviation of asymmetry over a rolling window, with Z-score normalization to spot “information shocks.”
Flow Strength: Quantifies the conviction of the current information flow on a 0–100 scale.
Regime Detection: Flags “extreme” asymmetry, “building” flow, and “high volatility” states.
Inputs:
🌌 Core Asymmetry Parameters
Fast Information Period (short_len, default 8): EMA period for detecting immediate information flow changes.
5–8: Scalping (1–5min)
8–12: Day trading (15min–1hr)
12–20: Swing trading (4hr+)
Slow Information Period (long_len, default 34): EMA period for baseline information context. Should be 3–5x fast period.

Dual Stochastic Enhanced (with Presets giua64)Script Title: Dual Stochastic Enhanced (with Presets giua64)
Overview:
This indicator enhances the traditional Dual Stochastic strategy, aiming to provide more filtered and potentially reliable trading signals. By integrating dynamic overbought/oversold levels via Bollinger Bands on the slow stochastic, a trend filter based on a moving average, momentum confirmation via RSI, and user-friendly selectable presets, "Dual Stochastic Enhanced" seeks to offer a more robust approach to identifying potential entry points.
Key Features:
Dual Stochastics: Utilizes a slow stochastic (configurable, e.g., 14 periods) as a context filter and a fast stochastic (configurable, e.g., 5 periods) as a signal trigger.
Bollinger Bands on Slow Stochastic: Instead of fixed overbought/oversold levels (80/20), Bollinger Bands are applied to the %K line of the slow stochastic. This creates dynamic zones that adapt to the stochastic's own volatility.
Trend Filter: A moving average (configurable type and length, e.g., EMA 100 as seen in the example chart for general context) on the price helps filter signals, allowing only trades aligned with the prevailing trend.
RSI Confirmation: An RSI oscillator (configurable length, e.g., 14 periods) is used to confirm momentum. Signals require the RSI to cross certain thresholds to validate the strength of the move.
User Presets: Includes presets for "Scalping," "Intraday," and "Swing trading," which quickly set all key parameters to suit different styles and timeframes. A "Custom" option is also available for full manual configuration.
Clear Visual Signals: Long (green) and Short (red) arrows appear on the chart when all entry conditions are met.
Active Zone Highlighting: The background of the indicator panel changes color (green or red) when "active zone" conditions (a combination of stochastics, trend, and RSI) are favorable.
Information Panel: A table in the top-right corner of the indicator panel displays the current status of the selected preset, trend filter, RSI value, and stochastic levels.
Signal Logic:
A LONG signal is generated when:
The fast stochastic %K crosses above its %D line.
The slow stochastic %K line is below its lower Bollinger Band (dynamic oversold condition).
The fast stochastic %K line is also in a low area (e.g., <25) to confirm the trigger is not premature.
The closing price is above the trend moving average (uptrend).
The RSI is above its long confirmation level (e.g., >40), indicating sufficient bullish momentum.
A SHORT signal is generated when:
The fast stochastic %K crosses below its %D line.
The slow stochastic %K line is above its upper Bollinger Band (dynamic overbought condition).
The fast stochastic %K line is also in a high area (e.g., >75).
The closing price is below the trend moving average (downtrend).
The RSI is below its short confirmation level (e.g., <60), indicating sufficient bearish momentum.
How to Use:
Select a Preset suitable for your trading style and the timeframe you are analyzing (e.g., Scalping for M1-M15, Intraday for M5-H1, Swing for H4-D1).
Alternatively, choose "Custom" and manually adjust all parameters (stochastic lengths, smoothing, Bollinger Bands, Moving Average, RSI, confirmation thresholds).
Observe the Information Panel for a quick understanding of the current conditions.
Evaluate the arrow signals, always considering the broader market context, price action, and any other confluences (supports/resistances, chart patterns).
The background highlighting can help quickly identify periods where conditions are aligned for potential trades.

Enhanced BTC Order Block IndicatorThe script you provided is an "Enhanced BTC Order Block Indicator" written in Pine Script v5 for TradingView. It is designed to identify and visually mark Order Blocks (OBs) on a Bitcoin (BTC) price chart, specifically tailored for a high-frequency scalping strategy on the 5-minute (M5) timeframe. Order Blocks are key price zones where institutional traders are likely to have placed significant buy or sell orders, making them high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. The script incorporates customizable filters, visual indicators, and alert functionality to assist traders in executing the strategy outlined earlier.
Key Features and Functionality
Purpose:
The indicator detects bullish Order Blocks (buy zones) and bearish Order Blocks (sell zones) based on a predefined percentage price movement (default 0.5–1%) and volume confirmation.
It marks these zones on the chart with colored boxes and provides alerts when an OB is detected.
User-Configurable Inputs:
Price Move Range: minMovePercent (default 0.5%) and maxMovePercent (default 1.0%) define the acceptable price movement range for identifying OBs.
Volume Threshold: volumeThreshold (default 1.5x average volume) ensures OB detection is backed by significant trading activity.
Lookback Period: lookback (default 10 candles) determines how many previous candles are analyzed to find the last candle before a strong move.
Wick/Body Option: useWick (default false) allows users to choose whether the OB zone is based on the candle’s wick or body.
Colors: bullishOBColor (default green) and bearishOBColor (default red) set the visual appearance of OB boxes.
Box Extension: boxExtension (default 100 bars) controls how far the OB box extends to the right on the chart.
RSI Filter: useRSI (default true) enables an RSI filter, with rsiLength (default 14), rsiBullishThreshold (default 50), and rsiBearishThreshold (default 50) for trend confirmation.
M15 Support/Resistance: useSR (default true) and srLookback (default 20) integrate M15 timeframe swing highs and lows for additional OB validation.
Core Logic:
Bullish OB Detection: Identifies a strong upward move (0.5–1%) with volume above the threshold. It then looks back to the last bearish candle before the move to define the OB zone. RSI > 50 and proximity to M15 support/resistance (optional) enhance confirmation.
Bearish OB Detection: Identifies a strong downward move (0.5–1%) with volume confirmation, tracing back to the last bullish candle. RSI < 50 and M15 resistance proximity (optional) add validation.
The OB zone is drawn as a rectangle from the high to low of the identified candle, extended rightward.
Visual Output:
Boxes: Uses box.new to draw OB zones, with left set to the previous bar (bar_index ), right extended by boxExtension, top and bottom defined by the OB’s high and low prices. Each box includes a text label ("Bullish OB" or "Bearish OB") and is semi-transparent.
Colors distinguish between bullish (green) and bearish (red) OBs.
Alerts:
Global alertcondition definitions trigger notifications for "Bullish OB Detected" and "Bearish OB Detected" when the respective conditions are met, displaying the current close price in the message.
Helper Functions:
f_priceChangePercent: Calculates the percentage price change between open and close prices.
isNearSR: Checks if the price is within 0.2% of M15 swing highs or lows for support/resistance confluence.
How It Works
The script runs on each candle, evaluating the current price action against the user-defined criteria.
When a bullish or bearish move is detected (meeting the percentage, volume, RSI, and S/R conditions), it identifies the preceding candle to define the OB zone.
The OB is then visualized on the chart, and an alert is triggered if configured in TradingView.
Use Case
This indicator is tailored for your BTC scalping strategy, where trades last 1–15 minutes targeting 0.3–0.5% gains. It helps traders spot institutional order zones on the M5 chart, confirmed by secondary M1 analysis, and integrates with your use of EMAs, RSI, and volume. The customizable settings allow adaptation to varying market conditions or personal preferences.
Limitations
The M15 S/R detection is simplified (using swing highs/lows), which may not always align perfectly with manual support/resistance levels.
Alerts depend on TradingView’s alert system and require manual setup.
Performance may vary with high volatility or low-volume periods, necessitating parameter adjustments.
Polarity-VoVix Fusion Index (PVFI) Polarity-VoVix Fusion Index (PVFI) - Order Flow and Volatility Regime Detector
The PVFI is a next-generation indicator that fuses the Order Flow Polarity Index (OFPI) with a proprietary VoVix Volume Delta (VVD) engine. This tool is designed for traders who want to see not just how much volume is trading, but who is in control and how volatility is shifting beneath the surface.
What Makes PVFI Standout from the rest?
- Dual Engine: PVFI combines two advanced signals:
* OFPI: Measures real-time buy/sell pressure using candle body position and volume, then smooths it with a T3 moving average for clarity and responsiveness.
* VVD: Captures the "volatility of volume delta" - a normalized, memory-boosted measure of aggressive buying/selling, with a custom non-linear clamp for organic, non-pegged signals.
- Visual Clarity: Neon-glow OFPI line and shadowed, color-gradient VVD area make regime shifts and momentum instantly visible.
- Adaptive Dashboard: Toggle between a full-featured dashboard (desktop) and a compact info line (mobile) for seamless use on any device.
- Universal: Works on any asset - crypto, stocks, futures, forex - and any timeframe.
- No Chart Clutter: Clean, modern visuals and toggles for a pro look.
Inputs:
OFPI Lookback Length (ofpi_len): Sets the window for order flow pressure calculation. Shorter = more sensitive, longer = smoother. For scalping, try 5-10. For swing trading, 15-30. Crypto often benefits from shorter windows due to volatility.
OFPI T3 Smoothing Length (t3_len): Controls the smoothness of the OFPI line. Lower = more responsive, higher = smoother. Use 3-7 for fast markets, 8-15 for slow or higher timeframes.
OFPI T3 Volume Factor (t3_vf): Adjusts the T3’s sensitivity. Higher = more responsive, lower = more stable. 0.6-0.8 is typical. Raise for more “snappy” signals, lower for less noise.
VVD Delta Lookback (delta_len): Sets the window for VVD’s volume delta calculation. 10-20 for most assets. Shorter for high-volatility, longer for slow markets.
VVD Volatility Normalization Length (vol_norm_len): Normalizes VVD by recent volume. 15-30 is typical. Use higher for assets with wild volume swings.
VVD Momentum Memory (momentum_mem): Adds a “memory” boost to VVD, amplifying persistent buying/selling. 2-5 is common. Lower for choppy markets, higher for trending.
Show Dashboard (showDash): Toggles the full dashboard table (best for desktop). Turn off for a minimalist or mobile setup.
Show Compact Info Line (showInfoLabel): Toggles a single-line info label (best for mobile). Turn on for mobile or minimalist setups.
How PVFI Works:
- OFPI Calculation: Splits each candle’s volume into buy/sell pressure based on where the close is within the range. Aggregates over your chosen lookback, then smooths with a T3 moving average for a neon, lag-minimized signal.
- VVD Calculation: Measures the “aggression” of volume (body-weighted), normalizes by recent volume, and applies a memory boost for persistent trends. Uses a custom tanh clamp for a natural, non-pegged range.
- Visuals: OFPI is plotted as a neon line (with glow). VVD is a color-gradient area with a soft shadow, instantly showing regime shifts.
- Dashboard/Info Line: Desktop: Full dashboard with all key stats, color-coded and branded. Mobile: Compact info line with arrows for quick reads.
How you'll use PVFI:
- Bullish OFPI (Teal Neon, Up Arrow): Buyers are dominating. Look for breakouts, trend continuations, or confirmation with your own system.
- Bearish OFPI (Green Neon, Down Arrow): Sellers are in control. Watch for breakdowns or short setups.
- VVD Positive (Teal Area): Aggressive buying is increasing. Confirm with price action.
- VVD Negative (Purple Area): Aggressive selling is increasing. Use for risk management or short bias.
- Neutral/Flat: Market is balanced or indecisive. Consider waiting for a clear regime shift.
- Dashboard/Info Line: Use the dashboard for full context, or the info line for a quick glance on mobile.
Tips:
- For scalping, use lower lookbacks and smoothing.
- For swing trading, increase lookbacks and smoothing for stability.
- Works on all assets and timeframes - tune to your style.
Why PVFI is Unique:
- Fusion of Order Flow and Volatility: No other indicator combines body-based order flow with a volatility-of-volume delta, both visualized with modern, pro-grade graphics.
- Adaptive, Not Static: PVFI adapts to market regime, not just price movement.
- Mobile-Ready: Dashboard and info line toggles for any device.
- No Chart Clutter: Clean, color-coded, and easy to read.
For Educational Use Only
PVFI is a research and educational tool, not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and combine with your own strategy.

Heikin Ashi Colored Regular OHLC CandlesHeikin Ashi Colored Regular OHLC Candles
In the world of trading, Heikin Ashi candles are a popular tool for smoothing out price action and identifying trends more clearly. However, Heikin Ashi candles do not reflect the actual open, high, low, and close prices of a market. They are calculated values that change the chart’s structure. This can make it harder to see precise price levels or use standard price-based tools effectively.
To get the best of both worlds, we can apply the color logic of Heikin Ashi candles to regular OHLC candles. This means we keep the true market data, but show the trend visually in the same smooth way Heikin Ashi candles do.
Why use this approach
Heikin Ashi color logic filters out noise and helps provide a clearer view of the current trend direction. Since we are still plotting real OHLC candles, we do not lose important price information such as actual highs, lows, or closing prices. This method offers a hybrid view that combines the accuracy of real price levels with the visual benefits of Heikin Ashi trend coloring. It also helps maintain visual consistency for traders who are used to Heikin Ashi signals but want to see real price action.
Advantages for scalping
Scalping requires fast decisions. Even small price noise can lead to hesitation or bad entries. Coloring regular candles based on Heikin Ashi direction helps reduce that noise and makes short-term trends easier to read. It allows for faster confirmation of momentum without switching away from real prices. Since the candles are not modified, scalpers can still place tight stop-losses and targets based on actual price structure. This approach also avoids clutter, keeping the chart clean and focused.
How it works
We calculate the Heikin Ashi values in the background. If the Heikin Ashi close is higher than the Heikin Ashi open, the trend is considered bullish and the candle is colored green. If the close is lower than the open, it is bearish and the candle is red. If they are equal, the candle is gray or neutral. We then use these colors to paint the real OHLC candles, which are unchanged in shape or position.
PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI AnalysisPowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI Analysis
Overview
PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 is an advanced TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to identify high-probability trading setups by combining pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend detection, and adaptive AI-driven signal filtering. The script integrates Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) signals with customizable momentum, volume, breakout, and trend filters to enhance trade precision. Additionally, it offers an optional AI Market Analysis module that predicts future price trends across multiple timeframes, providing traders with a comprehensive market outlook.
The script is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor inputs to their trading style, whether for scalping, swing trading, or long-term strategies. It is suitable for all asset classes, including stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities, and performs optimally on timeframes ranging from 1-minute to daily charts.
Key Features
Pivot-Based Signal Generation:
Identifies pivot highs and lows to detect CHoCH (reversal patterns) and BOS (continuation patterns).
Signals are plotted as "Buy" or "Sell" labels with optional "Get Ready" pre-signals to prepare traders for potential setups.
Take-profit (TP) levels are automatically calculated based on user-defined points, with optional TP box visualization.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
Analyzes trends across seven timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D) using EMA and VWAP to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Displays a futuristic AI-Trend Matrix dashboard showing trend direction, strength, and confidence levels for quick decision-making.
Customizable Signal Filters:
Momentum Filter: Ensures signals align with significant price changes, adjusted dynamically using ATR-based volatility.
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter: Requires signals to align with the trend of a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 1H).
Lower Timeframe Trend Filter: Prevents signals that conflict with the trend of a user-selected lower timeframe (e.g., 5M).
Volume Filter: Optionally requires above-average volume to confirm signals.
Breakout Filter: Optionally requires price to break previous highs/lows for signal validation.
Repeated Signal Restriction: Prevents consecutive signals in the same trend direction until the trend changes on a user-defined timeframe.
AI-Driven Adaptivity:
Incorporates Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to assess buying/selling pressure and classify market volatility (Low, Medium, High).
Uses ATR to dynamically adjust momentum thresholds, ensuring signals adapt to current market conditions.
Optional AI Market Analysis module predicts trends across multiple timeframes by combining trend, momentum, and volatility scores.
Visual Elements:
Plots CHoCH and BOS levels as horizontal lines with distinct colors (aqua for CHoCH sell, lime for CHoCH buy, fuchsia for BOS sell, teal for BOS buy).
Draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on short and long-term price action, colored by trend strength.
Displays TP levels and pivot highs/lows for easy reference.
How It Works
The script combines several technical analysis concepts to create a robust trading system:
Market Structure Analysis:
Pivot highs and lows are identified using a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length).
CHoCH occurs when price crosses below a pivot high (bearish reversal) or above a pivot low (bullish reversal).
BOS occurs when price breaks a previous pivot low (bearish continuation) or pivot high (bullish continuation).
Trend and Momentum Integration:
Trends are determined by comparing price to EMA and VWAP on multiple timeframes.
Momentum is calculated as the percentage price change, with thresholds adjusted by ATR to account for volatility.
"Get Ready" signals appear when momentum approaches the threshold, preparing traders for potential CHoCH or BOS signals.
Signal Filtering:
Filters ensure signals align with user-defined criteria (e.g., trend direction, volume, breakouts).
The Restrict Repeated Signals option prevents over-signaling by requiring a trend change on a specified timeframe before generating a new signal in the same direction.
AI Market Analysis:
The optional AI module calculates a score for each timeframe based on trend direction, momentum, and volatility (ATR compared to its SMA).
Scores are translated into predictions (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish, — for neutral), displayed in a dedicated table.
CVD and Volatility Context:
CVD tracks buying vs. selling pressure by accumulating volume based on price direction.
Volatility is classified using CVD magnitude, influencing the script’s visual cues and signal sensitivity.
Why This Combination?
The integration of pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend filtering, and AI-driven adaptivity addresses common trading challenges:
Precision: CHoCH and BOS signals focus on key market turning points, reducing noise from minor price fluctuations.
Context: Multi-timeframe analysis ensures trades align with broader market trends, improving win rates.
Adaptivity: ATR and CVD adjustments make the script responsive to changing market conditions, avoiding static thresholds that fail in volatile or quiet markets.
Customization: Extensive input options allow traders to adapt the script to their preferred markets, timeframes, and risk profiles.
Predictive Insight: The AI Market Analysis module provides forward-looking trend predictions, helping traders anticipate market moves.
This combination creates a self-contained system that balances responsiveness with reliability, making it suitable for both novice and experienced traders.

Aurora Flow Oscillator [QuantAlgo]The Aurora Flow Oscillator is an advanced momentum-based technical indicator designed to identify market direction, momentum shifts, and potential reversal zones using adaptive filtering techniques. It visualizes price momentum through a dynamic oscillator that quantifies trend strength and direction, helping traders and investors recognize momentum shifts and trading opportunities across various timeframes and asset class.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Aurora Flow Oscillator employs a sophisticated mathematical approach with adaptive momentum filtering to analyze market conditions, including:
Price-Based Momentum Calculation: Calculates logarithmic price changes to measure the rate and magnitude of market movement
Adaptive Momentum Filtering: Applies an advanced filtering algorithm to smooth momentum calculations while preserving important signals
Acceleration Analysis: Incorporates momentum acceleration to identify shifts in market direction before they become obvious
Signal Normalization: Automatically scales the oscillator output to a range between -100 and 100 for consistent interpretation across different market conditions
The indicator processes price data through multiple filtering stages, applying mathematical principles including exponential smoothing with adaptive coefficients. This creates an oscillator that dynamically adjusts to market volatility while maintaining responsiveness to genuine trend changes.
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Momentum Flow and Extreme Zone Identification
The oscillator presents market momentum through an intuitive visual display that clearly indicates both direction and strength:
Above Zero: Indicates positive momentum and potential bullish conditions
Below Zero: Indicates negative momentum and potential bearish conditions
Slope Direction: The angle and direction of the oscillator provide immediate insight into momentum strength
Zero Line Crossings: Signal potential trend changes and new directional momentum
The indicator also identifies potential overbought and oversold market conditions through extreme zone markings:
Upper Zone (>50): Indicates strong bullish momentum that may be approaching exhaustion
Lower Zone (<-50): Indicates strong bearish momentum that may be approaching exhaustion
Extreme Boundaries (±95): Mark potentially unsustainable momentum levels where reversals become increasingly likely
These zones are displayed with gradient intensity that increases as the oscillator moves toward extremes, helping traders and investors:
→ Identify potential reversal zones
→ Determine appropriate entry and exit points
→ Gauge overall market sentiment strength
2. Customizable Trading Style Presets
The Aurora Flow Oscillator offers pre-configured settings for different trading approaches:
Default (80,150): Balanced configuration suitable for most trading and investing situations.
Scalping (5,80): Highly responsive settings for ultra-short-term trades. Generates frequent signals and catches quick price movements. Best for 1-15min charts when making many trades per day.
Day Trading (8,120): Optimized for intraday movements with faster response than default settings while maintaining reasonable signal quality. Ideal for 5-60min or 4h-12h timeframes.
Swing Trading (10,200): Designed for multi-day positions with stronger noise filtering. Focuses on capturing larger price swings while avoiding minor fluctuations. Works best on 1-4h and daily charts.
Position Trading (14,250): For longer-term position traders/investors seeking significant market trends. Reduces false signals by heavily filtering market noise. Ideal for daily or even weekly charts.
Trend Following (16,300): Maximum smoothing that prioritizes established directional movements over short-term fluctuations. Best used on daily and weekly charts, but can also be used for lower timeframe trading.
Countertrend (7,100): Tuned to detect potential reversals and exhaustion points in trends. More sensitive to momentum shifts than other presets. Effective on 15min-4h charts, as well as daily and weekly charts.
Each preset automatically adjusts internal parameters for optimal performance in the selected trading context, providing flexibility across different market approaches without requiring complex manual configuration.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips
1/ Trend Analysis and Interpretation
→ Direction Assessment: Evaluate the oscillator's position relative to zero to determine underlying momentum bias
→ Momentum Strength: Measure the oscillator's distance from zero within the -100 to +100 range to quantify momentum magnitude
→ Trend Consistency: Monitor the oscillator's path for sustained directional movement without frequent zero-line crossings
→ Reversal Detection: Watch for oscillator divergence from price and deceleration of movement when approaching extreme zones
2/ Signal Generation Strategies
Depending on your trading approach, multiple signal strategies can be employed:
Trend Following Signals:
Enter long positions when the oscillator crosses above zero
Enter short positions when the oscillator crosses below zero
Add to positions on pullbacks while maintaining the overall trend direction
Countertrend Signals:
Look for potential reversals when the oscillator reaches extreme zones (±95)
Enter contrary positions when momentum shows signs of exhaustion
Use oscillator divergence with price as additional confirmation
Momentum Shift Signals:
Enter positions when oscillator changes direction after establishing a trend
Exit positions when oscillator direction reverses against your position
Scale position size based on oscillator strength percentage
3/ Timeframe Optimization
The indicator can be effectively applied across different timeframes with these considerations:
Lower Timeframes (1-15min):
Use Scalping or Day Trading presets
Focus on quick momentum shifts and zero-line crossings
Be cautious of noise in extreme market conditions
Medium Timeframes (30min-4h):
Use Default or Swing Trading presets
Look for established trends and potential reversal zones
Combine with support/resistance analysis for entry/exit precision
Higher Timeframes (Daily+):
Use Position Trading or Trend Following presets
Focus on major trend identification and long-term positioning
Use extreme zones for position management rather than immediate reversals
🟢 Pro Tips
Price Momentum Period:
→ Lower values (5-7) increase sensitivity to minor price fluctuations but capture more market noise
→ Higher values (10-16) emphasize sustained momentum shifts at the cost of delayed response
→ Adjust based on your timeframe (lower for shorter timeframes, higher for longer timeframes)
Oscillator Filter Period:
→ Lower values (80-120) produce more frequent directional changes and earlier response to momentum shifts
→ Higher values (200-300) filter out shorter-term fluctuations to highlight dominant market cycles
→ Match to your typical holding period (shorter holding time = lower filter values)
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
→ Compare oscillator readings across different timeframes for confluence
→ Look for alignment between higher and lower timeframe signals
→ Use higher timeframe for trend direction, lower for earlier entries
Volatility-Adaptive Trading:
→ Use oscillator strength to adjust position sizing (stronger = larger)
→ Consider reducing exposure when oscillator reaches extreme zones
→ Implement tighter stops during periods of oscillator acceleration
Combination Strategies:
→ Pair with volume indicators for confirmation of momentum shifts
→ Use with support/resistance levels for strategic entry and exit points
→ Combine with volatility indicators for comprehensive market context
SMC+The "SMC+" indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to overlay key Smart Money Concepts (SMC) levels, support/resistance zones, order blocks (OB), fair value gaps (FVG), and trap detection on your TradingView chart. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential areas of interest based on price action, swing structures, and volume dynamics across multiple timeframes. This indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust lookback periods, colors, opacity, and sensitivity to suit their trading style.
Key Components and Functionality
1. Key Levels (Support and Resistance)
This section plots horizontal lines representing support and resistance levels based on highs and lows over three distinct lookback periods, plus daily nearest levels.
Short-Term Lookback Period (Default: 20 bars)
Plots the highest high (short_high) and lowest low (short_low) over the specified period.
Visualized as dotted lines with customizable colors (Short-Term Resistance Color, Short-Term Support Color) and opacity (Short-Term Resistance Opacity, Short-Term Support Opacity).
Adjustment Tip: Increase the lookback (e.g., to 30-50) for less frequent but stronger levels on higher timeframes, or decrease (e.g., to 10-15) for scalping on lower timeframes.
Long-Term Lookback Period (Default: 50 bars)
Plots broader support (long_low) and resistance (long_high) levels using a solid line style.
Customizable via Long-Term Resistance Color, Long-Term Support Color, and their respective opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Extend to 100-200 bars for swing trading or major trend analysis on daily/weekly charts.
Extra-Long Lookback Period (Default: 100 bars)
Identifies significant historical highs (extra_long_high) and lows (extra_long_low) with dashed lines.
Configurable with Extra-Long Resistance Color, Extra-Long Support Color, and opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Use 200-500 bars for monthly charts to capture macro-level key zones.
Daily Nearest Resistance and Support Levels
Dynamically calculates the nearest resistance (daily_res_level) and support (daily_sup_level) based on the current day’s price action relative to historical highs and lows.
Displayed with Daily Resistance Color and Daily Support Color (with opacity options).
Adjustment Tip: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 15m, 1h) to track daily pivots; combine with volume profile for confirmation.
How It Works: These levels update dynamically as new highs/lows form, providing a visual guide to potential reversal or breakout zones.
2. SMC Inputs (Smart Money Concepts)
This section identifies swing structures, order blocks, fair value gaps, and entry signals based on SMC principles.
SMC Swing Lookback Period (Default: 12 bars)
Defines the period for detecting swing highs (smc_swing_high) and lows (smc_swing_low).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 20-30 for smoother swings on higher timeframes; reduce to 5-10 for faster signals on lower timeframes.
Minimum Swing Size (%) (Default: 0.5%)
Filters out minor price movements to focus on significant swings.
Adjustment Tip: Raise to 1-2% for volatile markets (e.g., crypto) to avoid noise; lower to 0.2-0.3% for forex pairs with tight ranges.
Order Block Sensitivity (Default: 1.0)
Scales the size of detected order blocks (OBs) for bullish reversal (smc_ob_bull), bearish reversal (smc_ob_bear), and continuation (smc_cont_ob).
Visuals include customizable colors, opacity, border thickness, and blinking effects (e.g., SMC Bullish Reversal OB Color, SMC Bearish Reversal OB Blink Thickness).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 1.5-2.0 for wider OBs in choppy markets; keep at 1.0 for precision in trending conditions.
Minimum FVG Size (%) (Default: 0.3%)
Sets the minimum gap size for Fair Value Gaps (fvg_high, fvg_low), displayed as boxes with Fair Value Gap Color and FVG Opacity.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 0.5-1% for larger, more reliable gaps; decrease to 0.1-0.2% for scalping smaller inefficiencies.
How It Works:
Bullish Reversal OB: Detects a bearish candle followed by a bullish break, marking a potential demand zone.
Bearish Reversal OB: Identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish break, marking a supply zone.
Continuation OB: Spots strong bullish momentum after a prior high, indicating a continuation zone.
FVG: Highlights bullish gaps where price may retrace to fill.
Entry Signals: Plots triangles (SMC Long Entry) when price retests an OB with a liquidity sweep or break of structure (BOS).
3. Trap Inputs
This section detects potential bull and bear traps based on price action, volume, and key level rejections.
Min Down Move for Bear Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum drop required after a bearish OB to qualify as a trap.
Visualized with Bear Trap Color, Bear Trap Opacity, and blinking borders.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 2-3% for stronger traps in trending markets; lower to 0.5% for ranging conditions.
Min Up Move for Bull Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum rise required after a bullish OB to flag a trap.
Customizable with Bull Trap Color, Bull Trap Border Thickness, etc.
Adjustment Tip: Adjust similarly to bear traps based on market volatility.
Volume Lookback for Traps (Default: 5 bars)
Compares current volume to a moving average (avg_volume) to filter low-volume traps.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 10-20 for confirmation on higher timeframes; reduce to 3 for intraday sensitivity.
How It Works:
Bear Trap: Triggers when price drops significantly after a bearish OB but reverses up with low volume or support rejection.
Bull Trap: Activates when price rises after a bullish OB but fails with low volume or resistance rejection.
Boxes highlight trap zones, resetting when price breaks out.
4. Visual Customization
Line Width (Default: 2)
Adjusts thickness of support/resistance lines.
Tip: Increase to 3-4 for visibility on cluttered charts.
Blink On (Default: Close)
Sets whether OB/FVG borders blink based on Open or Close price interaction.
Tip: Use "Open" for intraday precision; "Close" for confirmed reactions.
Colors and Opacity: Each element (OBs, FVGs, traps, key levels) has customizable colors, opacity (0-100), border thickness (1-5 or 1-7), and blink effects for dynamic visualization.
How to Use SMC+
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe and market.
Key Levels: Watch for price reactions at short, long, extra-long, or daily levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
SMC Signals: Look for entry signals (triangles) near OBs or FVGs, confirmed by liquidity sweeps or BOS.
Traps: Avoid false breakouts by monitoring trap boxes, especially near key levels with low volume.
Notes:
This indicator is a visual aid and does not guarantee trading success. Combine it with other analysis tools and risk management strategies.
Performance may vary across markets and timeframes; test settings thoroughly before use.
For optimal results, experiment with lookback periods and sensitivity settings to match your trading style.
The default settings are optimal for 1 minute and 10 second time frames for small cap low float stocks.
Continuation OB are Blue.
Bullish Reversal OB color is Green
Bearish Reversal OB color is Red
FVG color is purple
Bear Trap OB is red with a green border and often appears with a Bearish Reversal OB signaling caution to a short position.
Bull trap OB is green with a Red border signaling caution to a long position.
All active OB area are highlighted and solid in color while other non active OB area are dimmed.
My personal favorite setups are when we have an active bullish reversal with an active FVG along with an active Continuation OB.
Another personal favorite is the Bearish reversal OB signaling an end to a recent uptrend.
The Trap OB detection are also a unique and Original helpful source of information.
The OB have a white boarder by default that are colored black giving a simulated blinking effect when price is acting in that zone.
The Trap OB border are colored with respect to direction of intended trap, all of which can be customized to personal style.
All vaild OB zones are shown compact in size ,a unique and original view until its no longer valid.

Market Trend Levels Detector [BigBeluga]Market Trend Levels Detector is an trend-following tool that utilizes moving average crossovers to identify key market trend levels. By detecting local highs and lows after EMA crossovers, the indicator helps traders track significant price zones and trend strength.
🔵 Key Features:
EMA Crossover-Based Trend Levels Detection:
Uses a fast and slow EMA to detect market flow shifts.
When the fast EMA crosses under the slow EMA, the indicator searches for the most recent local top and marks it with a label and horizontal level.
When the fast EMA crosses over the slow EMA, it searches for the most recent local low and marks it accordingly.
Dynamic Zone Levels:
Each detected high or low is plotted as a horizontal level, highlighting important price zones.
Traders can extend these levels to observe how price interacts with them over time.
If price crosses a level, its extension stops. Uncrossed levels continue expanding.
Gradient Trend Band Visualization:
The trend band is formed by shading the area between the two EMAs.
Color intensity varies based on volatility and trend strength.
Strong trends and high volatility areas appear with more intense colors, making trend shifts visually distinct.
🔵 Usage:
Trend Identification: Use EMA crossovers and trend bands to confirm bullish or bearish momentum.
Key Zone Mapping: Observe local high/low levels to track historical reaction points.
Breakout & Rejection Signals: Monitor price interactions with extended levels to assess potential breakouts or reversals.
Volatility Strength Analysis: Use color intensity in the trend band to gauge trend power and possible exhaustion points.
Scalping & Swing Trading: Ideal for both short-term scalping strategies and larger swing trade setups.
Market Trend Levels Detector is a must-have tool for traders looking to track market flow, key price levels, and trend momentum with dynamic visual cues. It provides a comprehensive approach to identifying high-probability trade setups using EMA-based flow detection and trend analysis.
LineReg Candles with Hma filterOverview
Purpose:
The indicator creates “LinReg Candles” by recalculating OHLC values using linear regression (to smooth out noise) and overlays additional features such as a customizable signal line and an HMA (Hull Moving Average) filter for trend detection. It also plots buy/sell signals and supports alerts.
Customization:
Users can adjust settings for signal smoothing (choosing SMA, EMA, or WMA), HMA periods (preset for Scalping/Intraday or custom values), linear regression length, colors, display options, and alert messages. Inputs are organized into groups for clarity.
Input Definitions
Signal Settings:
signal_length and smoothingType define the period and method used to smooth the close price, creating a signal line.
HMA Filter Settings:
A dropdown (t_type) lets you choose between Scalping, Intraday, or Custom. Based on this, three HMA periods (hma1, hma2, hma3) are set either to fixed values or user-defined custom inputs.
LinReg Settings:
Users can toggle linear regression for OHLC values (lin_reg) and set its period (linreg_length) to reduce price noise.
Color and Display Settings:
These control the colors for buy/sell candles, default bullish/bearish candles, markers, and background highlighting. Display toggles decide whether to show the background, signal line, HMA filter, and the recalculated candles.
Alert and Plot Customization:
Alerts can be enabled with custom messages. Additionally, line width and transparency for the plotted signal and HMA lines are adjustable.
Function Definitions
calcOHLC Function:
Computes OHLC values using linear regression if enabled. Otherwise, it returns the raw price values. This helps in reducing noise.
calcSignalLine Function:
Applies the chosen moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) to smooth the recalculated close values and generate a signal line.
getBaseCandleColor Function:
Determines the candle’s base color. It assigns buy/sell colors if specific crossover conditions are met; if not, it defaults to bullish (green) or bearish (red) based on the open/close relationship.
HMA Filter Calculations
HMA Computation:
The script calculates three HMAs (ma1, ma2, ma3) for different periods.
Trend Determination:
It sets a bullish condition (bcn) when ma3 is lower than both ma1 and ma2 with ma1 above ma2. Conversely, a bearish condition (scn) is set when ma3 is higher and the order of the HMAs indicates a downtrend.
Color Coding:
The HMA filter line color changes dynamically (green for bullish, red for bearish) based on these conditions.
Main Calculations
LinReg Candles:
Using the calcOHLC function, the script calculates the new open, high, low, and close values that reduce price noise.
Signal Line:
The signal line is computed on the basis of the smoothed close values using the selected moving average.
Buy/Sell Conditions:
Initial conditions are determined by checking if the recalculated close price crosses over (buy) or under (sell) the signal line.
The base candle color is then adjusted: if the HMA filter confirms the trend (bullish for buy or bearish for sell), the respective buy/sell colors are enforced.
A change in candle color compared to the previous bar triggers a buy or sell signal.
Plotting and Alerts
Visual Elements:
Background: Highlights the chart with a custom color when buy or sell conditions are met.
HMA Filter Line: Plotted (if enabled) with the dynamic color determined earlier.
Candles: The recalculated LinReg candles are drawn with colors based on the combined conditions.
Signal Line: Plotted over the candles with adjustable transparency and width.
Markers: Buy and sell markers are added to visually indicate signal points on the chart.
Alerts:
Alert conditions are set to trigger with predefined messages when a buy or sell signal is generated.

How the Indicator Works:
AdvancedLines (FiboBands) - PaSKaL calculates the range (difference between the highest high and the lowest low) over a user-defined number of bars (e.g., 300). Fibonacci levels are derived from this range, helping traders identify potential price reversal points.
Mathematical Basis :
Fibonacci retracement levels are based on the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the previous two (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc.). The ratios derived from this sequence (such as 0.618 and 0.382) have been widely observed in nature, market cycles, and price movements. These ratios are used to forecast potential price retracements or continuation points after a major price move.
Fibonacci Levels Calculation :
Identify the Range: The highest high and the lowest low over the defined period are calculated.
Apply Fibonacci Ratios: Fibonacci ratios (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, and 0.764) are applied to this range to calculate the corresponding price levels.

How to Use AdvancedLines (FiboBands) - PaSKaL in Trading :
Range Trading :
Range traders typically buy at support and sell at resistance. Fibonacci levels provide excellent support and resistance zones in a ranging market.
Example: If price reaches the 0.618 level in an uptrend, it may reverse, providing an opportunity to sell.
Conversely, if price drops to the 0.382 level, a bounce might occur, and traders can buy, anticipating the market will stay within the range.
Trend-following Trading :
For trend-following traders, Fibonacci levels act as potential entry points during a retracement. After a strong trend, price often retraces to one of the Fibonacci levels before continuing in the direction of the trend.
Example: In a bullish trend, when price retraces to the 0.382 level, it could be a signal to buy, as the price might resume its upward movement after the correction.
In a bearish trend, retracements to levels like 0.618 or 0.764 could provide optimal opportunities for shorting as the price resumes its downward movement.
Scalping :
Scalpers focus on short-term price movements. Fibonacci levels can help identify precise entry and exit points for quick trades.
Example: If price is fluctuating in a narrow range, a scalper can enter a buy trade at 0.236 and exit at the next Fibonacci level, such as 0.382 or 0.5, capturing small but consistent profits.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels :
Fibonacci levels can also help in setting stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Example: In a bullish trend, you can set a stop-loss just below the 0.236 level and a take-profit at 0.618.
In a bearish trend, set the stop-loss just above the 0.382 level and the take-profit at 0.764.
Identifying Reversals and Continuations :
Reversals: When price reaches a Fibonacci level and reverses direction, it may indicate the end of a price move.
Trend Continuation: If price bounces off a Fibonacci level and continues in the same direction, this may signal that the trend is still intact.
Conclusion :
AdvancedLines (FiboBands) - PaSKaL is an essential tool for any trader who uses Fibonacci retracements in their trading strategy. By automatically plotting key Fibonacci levels, this indicator helps traders quickly identify support and resistance zones, forecast potential reversals, and make more informed trading decisions.
For Trend-following Traders: Use Fibonacci levels to find optimal entry points after a price retracement.
For Range Traders: Identify key levels where price is likely to reverse or bounce within a range.
For Scalpers: Pinpoint small price movements and take advantage of quick profits by entering and exiting trades at precise Fibonacci levels.
By incorporating AdvancedLines (FiboBands) - PaSKaL into your trading setup, you will gain a deeper understanding of price action, improve your decision-making process, and enhance your overall trading performance.
HTF EMA Pivot PointsHTF EMA Pivot Points - TradingView Indicator
📌 Overview
The HTF EMA Pivot Points indicator displays Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) from higher timeframes (HTF) on your current chart. These EMAs act as dynamic support and resistance levels, helping traders identify key areas where price is likely to react.
⚡ Key Features
✅ Plots EMAs from multiple timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily)
✅ Works on any chart (1M, 5M, 15M, etc.)
✅ Acts as pivot points for price action, helping with trade entries & exits
✅ Customizable EMA lengths for flexibility
✅ Ideal for scalping, 0DTE options trading, and swing trading
🛠 How It Works
The script calculates EMAs from 1H, 4H, and Daily charts and overlays them on your current timeframe. These levels often act as support and resistance zones, where price tends to bounce or reject.
🎯 How to Use It for Trading
📍 Bullish Setup (Buy Calls)
• Price bounces off a higher timeframe EMA (e.g., 4H or Daily EMA)
• Confirmation with RSI or Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
📍 Bearish Setup (Buy Puts)
• Price rejects from a higher timeframe EMA
• Confirmation with other indicators (RSI, MACD, Order Flow)
🚀 Why Use This Indicator?
• Filters out noise from lower timeframe EMAs
• Confirms trend direction using key moving averages
• Helps avoid false breakouts by identifying strong institutional levels
This is a must-have tool for traders who rely on higher timeframe confluence for scalping, options trading, or swing trading. 📈🔥
HTF Candle Range Box (Fixed to HTF Bars)### **Higher Timeframe Candle Range Box (HTF Box Indicator)**
This indicator visually highlights the price range of the most recently closed higher-timeframe (HTF) candle, directly on a lower-timeframe chart. It dynamically adjusts based on the user-selected HTF setting (e.g., 15-minute, 1-hour) and ensures that the box is displayed only on the bars that correspond to that specific HTF candle’s duration.
For instance, if a trader is on a **1-minute chart** with the **HTF set to 15 minutes**, the indicator will draw a box spanning exactly 15 one-minute candles, corresponding to the previous 15-minute HTF candle. The box updates only when a new HTF candle completes, ensuring that it does not change mid-formation.
---
### **How It Works:**
1. **Retrieves Higher Timeframe Data**
The script uses TradingView’s `request.security` function to pull **high, low, open, and close** values from the **previously completed HTF candle** (using ` ` to avoid repainting). It also fetches the **high and low of the candle before that** (using ` `) for comparison.
2. **Determines Breakout Behavior**
It compares the **last closed HTF candle** to the **one before it** to determine whether:
- It **broke above** the previous high.
- It **broke below** the previous low.
- It **broke both** the high and low.
- It **stayed within the previous candle’s range** (no breakout).
3. **Classifies the Candle & Assigns Color**
- **Green (Bullish)**
- Closes above the previous candle’s high.
- Breaks below the previous candle’s low but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened above** the previous high.
- **Red (Bearish)**
- Closes below the previous candle’s low.
- Breaks above the previous candle’s high but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened below** the previous low.
- **Orange (Neutral/Indecisive)**
- Stays within the previous candle’s range.
- Breaks both the high and low but closes inside the previous range without a clear bias.
4. **Box Placement on the Lower Timeframe**
- The script tracks the **bar index** where each HTF candle starts on the lower timeframe (e.g., every 15 bars on a 1-minute chart if HTF = 15 minutes).
- It **only displays the box on those bars**, ensuring that the range is accurately reflected for that time period.
- The box **resets and updates** only when a new HTF candle completes.
---
### **Key Features & Advantages:**
✅ **Clear Higher Timeframe Context:**
- The indicator provides a structured way to analyze HTF price action while trading in a lower timeframe.
- It helps traders identify **HTF support and resistance zones**, potential **breakouts**, and **failed breakouts**.
✅ **Fixed Box Display (No Mid-Candle Repainting):**
- The box is drawn **only after the HTF candle closes**, avoiding misleading fluctuations.
- Unlike other indicators that update live, this one ensures the trader is looking at **confirmed data** only.
✅ **Flexible Timeframe Selection:**
- The user can set **any HTF resolution** (e.g., 5min, 15min, 1hr, 4hr), making it adaptable for different strategies.
✅ **Dynamic Color Coding for Quick Analysis:**
- The **color of the box reflects the market sentiment**, making it easier to spot trends, reversals, and fake-outs.
✅ **No Clutter – Only Applies to the Relevant Bars:**
- Instead of spanning across the whole chart, the range box is **only visible on the bars belonging to the last HTF period**, keeping the chart clean and focused.
---
### **Example Use Case:**
💡 Imagine a trader is scalping on the **1-minute chart** but wants to factor in **HTF 15-minute structure** to avoid getting caught in bad trades. With this indicator:
- They can see whether the last **15-minute candle** was bullish, bearish, or indecisive.
- If it was **bullish (green)**, they may look for **buying opportunities** at lower timeframes.
- If it was **bearish (red)**, they might anticipate **a potential pullback or continuation down**.
- If the **HTF candle failed to break out**, they know the market is **ranging**, avoiding unnecessary trades.
---
### **Final Thoughts:**
This indicator is a **powerful addition for traders who combine multiple timeframes** in their analysis. It provides a **clean and structured way to track HTF price movements** without cluttering the chart or requiring constant manual switching between timeframes. Whether used for **intraday trading, swing trading, or scalping**, it adds an extra layer of confirmation for trade entries and exits.
🔹 **Best for traders who:**
- Want **HTF structure awareness while trading lower timeframes**.
- Need **confirmation of breakouts, failed breakouts, or indecision zones**.
- Prefer a **non-repainting tool that only updates after confirmed HTF closes**.

Composite Indicator (CCI + ATR)Composite Indicator (CCI + ATR)
The Composite Indicator (CCI + ATR) combines the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) with the Average True Range (ATR) , providing traders with a dynamic tool for identifying entry and exit points based on momentum and volatility. This indicator is particularly useful for markets like cryptocurrencies, which often exhibit sharp sell-offs and gradual upward trends.
Key Features
Momentum Analysis with CCI: The CCI calculates price momentum by comparing the current price level to its average over a specific period. The indicator generates signals when CCI crosses predefined thresholds.
- Buy Signal: Triggered when CCI crosses above the lower threshold (e.g., -100).
- Sell Signal: Triggered when CCI crosses below the upper threshold (e.g., +100).
Volatility Filtering with ATR: The ATR measures market volatility, ensuring signals occur only during significant price movements.
Separate multipliers for buy and sell signals allow tailored filtering based on market behavior.
Stop Loss Calculation: Dynamic stop loss levels are calculated using the ATR multiplier to adapt to market volatility, offering better risk management.
How It Works
CCI Calculation: The CCI is calculated using the typical price ((High + Low + Close) / 3) and a user-defined length. It detects momentum changes by measuring deviations from the average price.
ATR Calculation: The ATR determines the average price range over a specified period, identifying the market’s volatility. The ATR SMA acts as a baseline to filter signals.
Buy Signal: A buy signal is triggered when:
- CCI crosses above the lower threshold (e.g., -100).
- ATR exceeds its SMA multiplied by the buy multiplier (e.g., 1.0).
Sell Signal: A sell signal is triggered when:
- CCI crosses below the upper threshold (e.g., +100).
- ATR exceeds its SMA multiplied by the sell multiplier (e.g., 0.95).
Stop Loss Integration:
- Long positions: Stop loss = Low – (ATR * ATR Multiplier)
- Short positions: Stop loss = High + (ATR * ATR Multiplier)
Advantages
Combines momentum (CCI) and volatility (ATR) for precise signal generation.
Customizable thresholds and multipliers for different market conditions.
Dynamic stop loss ensures better risk management in volatile markets.
Suggested Parameter Settings
CCI Length: 20 (default). Adjust as follows:

- 2.0–2.5: For highly volatile markets like cryptocurrencies.
Example Use Cases
Scalping (5-15 minute charts): Use CCI Length = 10, CCI Threshold = 75, ATR Buy Multiplier = 0.9, ATR Sell Multiplier = 0.8.
Day Trading (1-hour charts): Use CCI Length = 20, CCI Threshold = 100, ATR Buy Multiplier = 1.0, ATR Sell Multiplier = 0.95.
Swing Trading (4-hour or daily charts): Use CCI Length = 30, CCI Threshold = 150, ATR Buy Multiplier = 1.2, ATR Sell Multiplier = 1.0.
Final Thoughts The Composite Indicator (CCI + ATR) is a versatile tool designed to enhance trading decisions by combining momentum analysis with volatility filtering. Whether scalping or swing trading, this indicator provides actionable insights and robust risk management to navigate complex markets effectively.
Multi-Timeframe Volatility ATR - [by Oberlunar]This script (for now in beta release) is specifically designed for scalping or traders operating on lower timeframes (if you are in a timeframe of one minute wait one minute to collect statistics). Its primary purpose is to provide detailed insights into market volatility by calculating the ATR (Average True Range) and its percentage changes, allowing traders to quickly identify shifts in market conditions.
The ATR is calculated across six user-defined timeframes, which can include very short intervals such as 5 or 15 seconds. This setup enables real-time monitoring of volatility, which is critical for scalping strategies. The script collects a rolling history of the last five ATR values for each timeframe. These historical values are used to calculate percentage changes by comparing the current ATR with the oldest value in the history, offering a clear view of how volatility is evolving over time.
Percentage changes are displayed dynamically in a table, with color-coded feedback to indicate the direction of the change: green for increases, red for decreases, and gray for stability or insufficient data. This visual representation makes it easy to spot whether market volatility is rising or falling at a glance.
By progressively collecting data, the script becomes increasingly effective as more ATR values are accumulated. This functionality is especially useful for traders on lower timeframes, where rapid changes in volatility can signal breakout opportunities or shifts in market dynamics.
Soon I will update personalized ATR parameters, and lookback strategies for statistics.
JJ Highlight Time Ranges with First 5 Minutes and LabelsTo effectively use this Pine Script as a day trader , here’s how the various elements can help you manage trades, track time sessions, and monitor price movements:
Key Components for a Day Trader:
1. First 5-Minute Highlight:
- Purpose: Day traders often rely on the first 5 minutes of the trading session to gauge market sentiment, watch for opening price gaps, or plan entries. This script draws a horizontal line at the high or low of the first 5 minutes, which can act as a key level for the rest of the day.
- How to Use: If the price breaks above or below the first 5-minute line, it can signal momentum. You might enter a long position if the price breaks above the first 5-minute high or a short if it breaks below the first 5-minute low.
2. Session Time Highlights:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM): The market often shows its strongest price action during the first hour of trading. This session is highlighted in yellow. You can use this highlight to focus on the most volatile period, as this is when large institutional moves tend to occur.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM): The blue highlight helps you track the mid-afternoon session, where liquidity may decrease, and price action can sometimes be choppier. Day traders should be more cautious during this period.
- How to Use: By highlighting these key times, you can:
- Focus on key breakouts during the morning session.
- Be more conservative in your trades during the afternoon, as market volatility may drop.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Top/Bottom Positioning: The script places labels dynamically based on the selected position (Top or Bottom). This allows you to quickly glance at the session's start and identify where you are in terms of time.
- How to Use: Use these labels to remind yourself when major time segments (morning or afternoon) begin. You can adjust your trading strategy depending on the session, e.g., being more aggressive in the morning and more cautious in the afternoon.
Trading Strategy Suggestions:
1. Momentum Trades:
- After the first 5 minutes, use the high/low of that period to set up breakout trades.
- Long Entry: If the price breaks the high of the first 5 minutes (especially if there's a strong trend).
- Short Entry: If the price breaks the low of the first 5 minutes, signaling a potential downtrend.
2. Session-Based Strategy:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM):
- Look for strong breakout patterns such as support/resistance levels, moving average crossovers, or candlestick patterns (like engulfing candles or pin bars).
- This is a high liquidity period, making it ideal for executing quick trades.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM):
- The market tends to consolidate or show less volatility. Scalping and mean-reversion strategies work better here.
- Avoid chasing big moves unless you see a clear breakout in either direction.
3. Support and Resistance:
- The first 5-minute high/low often acts as a key support or resistance level for the rest of the day. If the price holds above or below this level, it’s an indication of trend continuation.
4. Breakout Confirmation:
- Look for breakouts from the highlighted session time ranges (e.g., 9:15 AM–10:30 AM or 12:30 PM–2:55 PM).
- If a breakout happens during a key time window, combine that with other technical indicators like volume spikes , RSI , or MACD for confirmation.
---
Example Day Trader Usage:
1. First 5 Minutes Strategy: After the market opens at 9:15 AM, watch the price action for the first 5 minutes. The high and low of these 5 minutes are critical levels. If the price breaks above the high of the first 5 minutes, it might indicate a strong bullish trend for the day. Conversely, breaking below the low may suggest bearish movement.
2. Morning Session: After the first 5 minutes, focus on the **9:15 AM–10:30 AM** window. During this time, look for breakout setups at key support/resistance levels, especially when paired with high volume or momentum indicators. This is when many institutions make large trades, so price action tends to be more volatile and predictable.
3. Afternoon Session: From 12:30 PM–2:55 PM, the market might experience lower volatility, making it ideal for scalping or range-bound strategies. You could look for reversals or fading strategies if the market becomes too quiet.
Conclusion:
As a day trader, you can use this script to:
- Track and react to key price levels during the first 5 minutes.
- Focus on high volatility in the morning session (9:15–10:30 AM) and **be cautious** during the afternoon.
- Use session-based timing to adjust your strategies based on the time of day.
