CyberCandle SwiftEdgeCyberCandle SwiftEdge
Overview
CyberCandle SwiftEdge is a cutting-edge, AI-inspired trading indicator designed for traders seeking precision and clarity in trend-following and swing trading. Powered by SwiftEdge, it combines Heikin Ashi candles, a gradient-colored Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and a Relative Strength Index (RSI) to deliver clear buy and sell signals. Featuring glowing visuals, dynamic signal icons, and a customizable RSI dashboard in the top-right corner, this script offers a futuristic interface for identifying high-probability trade setups on various timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H).
What It Does
CyberCandle SwiftEdge integrates three powerful components to generate actionable trading signals:
Heikin Ashi Candles: Smooths price action to highlight trends, reducing market noise and making reversals easier to spot.
Gradient EMA: A 100-period EMA with dynamic color transitions (blue/cyan for uptrends, red/pink for downtrends) to confirm market direction.
RSI Dashboard: A neon-lit display showing RSI levels, indicating overbought (>70), oversold (<30), or neutral (30-70) conditions.
Buy and sell signals are marked with prominent, glowing icons (triangles and arrows) based on trend direction, momentum, and specific Heikin Ashi patterns. The script’s customizable parameters allow traders to tailor the strategy to their preferences, balancing signal frequency and precision.
How It Works
The strategy leverages the synergy of Heikin Ashi, EMA, and RSI to filter trades and highlight opportunities:
Trend Direction: The price must be above the EMA for buy signals (bullish trend) or below for sell signals (bearish trend). The EMA’s gradient color shifts based on its slope, visually reinforcing trend strength.
Momentum Confirmation: RSI must exceed a user-defined threshold (default: 50) for buy signals or fall below it for sell signals, ensuring momentum supports the trade.
Candle Patterns: Buy signals require a green Heikin Ashi candle (close > open), with the two prior candles having minimal upper wicks (≤5% of candle body) and being red (indicating a retracement). Sell signals require a red candle, minimal lower wicks, and two prior green candles.
RSI Dashboard: Positioned in the top-right corner, it features a glowing circle (red for overbought, green for oversold, blue for neutral), the current RSI value, and a status indicator (triangle for extremes, square for neutral). This provides instant momentum insights without cluttering the chart.
By combining Heikin Ashi’s trend clarity, EMA’s directional filter, and RSI’s momentum validation, CyberCandle SwiftEdge minimizes false signals and highlights trades with strong potential. Its vibrant, AI-like visuals make it easy to interpret at a glance.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: In TradingView, search for "CyberCandle SwiftEdge" and add it to your chart. Set the chart to Heikin Ashi candles for optimal compatibility.
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: Large green triangles and arrows appear below candles when the price is above the EMA, RSI is above the buy threshold (default: 50), and conditions for a bullish retracement are met. Consider entering a long position with a 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
Sell Signal: Large red triangles and arrows appear above candles when the price is below the EMA, RSI is below the sell threshold (default: 50), and conditions for a bearish retracement are met. Consider entering a short position.
RSI Dashboard: Monitor the top-right dashboard. A red circle (RSI > 70) suggests caution for buys, a green circle (RSI < 30) indicates potential buying opportunities, and a blue circle (RSI 30-70) signals neutrality.
Customize Parameters: Open the indicator’s settings to adjust:
EMA Length (default: 100): Increase (e.g., 200) for longer-term trends or decrease (e.g., 50) for shorter-term sensitivity.
RSI Length (default: 14): Adjust for more (e.g., 7) or less (e.g., 21) responsive momentum signals.
RSI Buy/Sell Thresholds (default: 50): Set higher (e.g., 55) for buys or lower (e.g., 45) for sells to require stronger momentum.
Wick Tolerance (default: 0.05): Increase (e.g., 0.1) to allow larger wicks, generating more signals, or decrease (e.g., 0.02) for stricter conditions.
Require Retracement (default: true): Disable to remove the two-candle retracement requirement, increasing signal frequency.
Trading: Use signals in conjunction with the RSI dashboard and market context. For example, avoid buy signals if the RSI dashboard is red (overbought). Always apply proper risk management, such as setting stop-losses based on recent lows/highs.
What Makes It Original
CyberCandle SwiftEdge stands out due to its futuristic, AI-inspired visual design and user-friendly customization:
Neon Aesthetics: Glowing Heikin Ashi candles, gradient EMA, and dynamic signal icons (triangles and arrows) with RSI-driven transparency create a high-tech, immersive experience.
RSI Dashboard: A compact, top-right display with a neon circle, RSI value, and adaptive status indicator (triangle/square) provides instant momentum insights without cluttering the chart.
Customizability: Users can fine-tune EMA length, RSI parameters, wick tolerance, and retracement requirements via TradingView’s settings, balancing signal frequency and precision.
Integrated Approach: The synergy of Heikin Ashi’s trend clarity, EMA’s directional strength, and RSI’s momentum validation offers a cohesive strategy that reduces false signals.
Why This Combination?
The script combines Heikin Ashi, EMA, and RSI for a complementary effect:
Heikin Ashi smooths price fluctuations, making it ideal for identifying sustained trends and retracements, which are critical for the strategy’s signal logic.
EMA provides a reliable trend filter, ensuring signals align with the broader market direction. Its gradient color enhances visual trend recognition.
RSI adds momentum context, confirming that signals occur during favorable conditions (e.g., RSI > 50 for buys). The dashboard makes RSI intuitive, even for non-technical users.
Together, these components create a balanced system that captures trend reversals after retracements, validated by momentum, with a visually engaging interface that simplifies decision-making.
Tips
Best used on volatile assets (e.g., BTC/USD, EUR/USD) and higher timeframes (1H, 4H) for clearer trends.
Experiment with parameters in the settings to match your trading style (e.g., increase wick tolerance for more signals).
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance) for higher-confidence trades.

HL2 Moving Average with BandsThis indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trade entries and exits for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures. It calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) based on the HL2 value (average of high and low prices) of the current candle over a user-defined lookback period (default: 200 periods). The indicator plots this SMA as a blue line, providing a smoothed reference for price trends.
Additionally, it includes upper and lower bands calculated as a percentage (default: 0.5%) above and below the SMA, plotted as green and red lines, respectively. These bands act as dynamic thresholds to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The indicator generates trade signals based on price action relative to these bands:
Long Entry: A green upward triangle is plotted below the candle when the close crosses above the upper band, signaling a potential buy.
Close Long: A red square is plotted above the candle when the close crosses back below the upper band, indicating an exit for the long position.
Short Entry: A red downward triangle is plotted above the candle when the close crosses below the lower band, signaling a potential sell.
Close Short: A green square is plotted below the candle when the close crosses back above the lower band, indicating an exit for the short position.
The script is customizable, allowing users to adjust the SMA length and band percentage to suit their trading style or market conditions. It is plotted as an overlay on the price chart for easy integration with other technical analysis tools.
Recommended Time Frame and Settings for Trading S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 Futures
Based on research and market dynamics for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures, the 5-minute chart is recommended as the optimal time frame for day trading with this indicator. This time frame strikes a balance between capturing intraday trends and filtering out excessive noise, which is critical for futures trading due to their high volatility and leverage. The 5-minute chart aligns well with periods of high liquidity and volatility, such as the U.S. market open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST) and the afternoon session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST), when institutional traders are most active.
Why 5-minute? It allows traders to react to short-term price movements while avoiding the rapid fluctuations of 1-minute charts, which can be prone to false signals in choppy markets. It also provides enough data points to make the SMA and bands meaningful without the lag associated with longer time frames like 15-minute or hourly charts.
Recommended Settings
SMA Length: Set to 200 periods. This longer lookback period smooths the HL2 data, reducing noise and providing a reliable trend reference for the 5-minute chart. A 200-period SMA helps identify significant trend shifts without being overly sensitive to minor price fluctuations.
Band Percentage: 0.5% is more suitable for the volatility of ES and NQ futures on a 5-minute chart, as it generates fewer but higher-probability signals. Wider bands (e.g., 1%) may miss short-term opportunities, while narrower bands (e.g., 0.1%) may produce excessive false signals.
Trading Session Recommendations
Futures markets for ES and NQ are open nearly 24 hours (Sunday 6:00 PM EST to Friday 5:00 PM EST, with a daily break from 4:00 PM–5:00 PM EST), but not all hours are equally optimal due to varying liquidity and volatility. The best times to trade with this indicator are:
U.S. Market Open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST): This period is characterized by high volume and volatility, driven by the opening of U.S. equity markets and economic data releases (e.g., 8:30 AM EST reports like CPI or GDP). The indicator’s signals are more reliable during this window due to strong order flow and price momentum.
Afternoon Session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST): After the lunchtime lull, volume picks up as institutional traders return, and news or FOMC announcements often drive price action. The indicator can capture breakout moves as prices test the upper or lower bands.
Pre-Market (7:30 AM–9:30 AM EST): For traders comfortable with lower liquidity, this period can offer opportunities, especially around 8:30 AM EST economic releases. However, use tighter risk management due to wider spreads and potential volatility spikes.
Additional Tips
Avoid Low-Volume Periods: Steer clear of trading during low-liquidity hours, such as the overnight session (11:00 PM–3:00 AM EST), when spreads widen and price movements can be erratic, leading to false signals from the indicator.
Combine with Other Tools: Enhance the indicator’s effectiveness by pairing it with support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis to confirm signals. For example, a long entry signal above the upper band is stronger if it coincides with a breakout above a key resistance level.
Risk Management: Given the leverage in futures (e.g., Micro E-mini contracts require ~$1,200 margin for ES), use tight stop-losses (e.g., below the lower band for longs or above the upper band for shorts) to manage risk. Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Test Settings: Backtest the indicator on a demo account to optimize the SMA length and band percentage for your specific trading style and risk tolerance. Micro E-mini contracts (MES for S&P 500, MNQ for Nasdaq-100) are ideal for testing due to their lower capital requirements.
Why These Settings and Time Frame?
The 5-minute chart with a 200-period SMA and 0.5% bands is tailored for the volatility and liquidity of ES and NQ futures during peak trading hours. The longer SMA period ensures the indicator captures meaningful trends, while the 0.5% bands are tight enough to signal actionable breakouts but wide enough to avoid excessive whipsaws. Trading during high-volume sessions maximizes the likelihood of valid signals, as institutional participation drives clearer price action.
By focusing on these settings and time frames, traders can leverage the indicator to capitalize on the dynamic price movements of S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures while managing the inherent risks of these markets.

Custom Time Range Boxes + Fibs + ExtensionThis script draws two customizable time-range boxes per day, helping traders visualize key market sessions or activity windows. Each box is defined by start and end times that can be adjusted in the settings. You can also choose a custom color and extend the visual width of the box independently from the actual session time. Within each box, the indicator plots three Fibonacci levels: 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7. These levels are useful for identifying potential support, resistance, or retracement zones inside the session range. The script supports two separate time blocks, allowing you to track sessions like the New York Open and Power Hour simultaneously. All lines and boxes are drawn using bar_index for precision and control. The levels and box colors match for visual consistency. Perfect for intraday traders who want to track price behavior around key times. Clean, minimal, and performance-friendly — this tool adds clarity to your session-based strategy.
Volume & Price Counter**User Guide for Volume & Price Counter (Candle Structure)**
### 1. Introduction to Volume & Price Counter
The **Volume & Price Counter** (Candle Structure) is a momentum analysis indicator that helps identify which side—buyers or sellers—is dominating the market by counting candles based on the combination of volume and price movement.
The indicator classifies candles into 4 groups:
- **Volume Up, Price Up (Vol ↑ & Price ↑)** – Indicates strong buying pressure.
- **Volume Down, Price Up (Vol ↓ & Price ↑)** – Price is rising but buying momentum is weakening.
- **Volume Up, Price Down (Vol ↑ & Price ↓)** – Indicates strong selling pressure.
- **Volume Down, Price Down (Vol ↓ & Price ↓)** – Price is falling but selling momentum is weakening.
---
### 2. How the Indicator Works
The Volume & Price Counter calculates the number of each candle type over a specific time period to determine which side is currently in control:
- **Green Background**: When the total of (Vol ↑ & Price ↑) + (Vol ↓ & Price ↑) is greater than the total of (Vol ↑ & Price ↓) + (Vol ↓ & Price ↓) → Buyers are in control.
- **Red Background**: When the total of (Vol ↑ & Price ↓) + (Vol ↓ & Price ↓) is greater than the total of (Vol ↑ & Price ↑) + (Vol ↓ & Price ↑) → Sellers are in control.
---
### 3. How to Use the Indicator in Trading
**a) When the background is green**:
- The market is in an uptrend; consider buying during pullbacks to support zones.
- If the green background continues and the number of (Vol ↑ & Price ↑) candles dominates, the price may continue to rise.
- If the green background is present but there are many (Vol ↓ & Price ↑) candles, be cautious as buying strength may be fading.
**b) When the background is red**:
- The downtrend is prevailing; it's better to stay out or look for selling opportunities during pullbacks.
- If the red background continues with a high number of (Vol ↑ & Price ↓) candles, the price may continue to fall.
- If there are many (Vol ↓ & Price ↓) candles during a red background, selling pressure may be weakening—watch for reversal signals.
**c) When the background shifts from red to green**:
- This is a positive signal, indicating buyers are returning to the market.
- Additional volume confirmation is needed to validate a true uptrend.
**d) When the background shifts from green to red**:
- This warns of a potential trend reversal to the downside.
- If volume spikes during the red shift, consider closing long positions.
---
### 4. Combining Volume & Price Counter with Other Indicators
**Combine with support/resistance levels**:
If a green background appears at a strong support zone, it may signal a potential buying opportunity.

📈 Use Cases
1. Trend Confirmation:
Use sentiment alignment across multiple timeframes to confirm the overall trend direction before entering a trade.
2. Entry Timing:
Wait for a shift from neutral to strong bullish or bearish sentiment to time entries during pullbacks or breakouts.
3. Momentum Filtering:
Only trade in the direction of the dominant multi-timeframe trend. For example, ignore long setups when all sentiment blocks show bearish alignment.
4. Swing & Intraday Scalping:
Use hourly and daily sentiment zones for swing trades, or rely on 1m/5m MAs for precise scalping decisions in fast-moving markets.
5. Strategy Layering:
Combine this overlay with support/resistance, RSI, or volume-based signals to enhance decision-making with multi-timeframe context.
⚠️ Important Notes
Lower-timeframe values (1m, 5m) may appear static on higher-timeframe charts due to resolution limits in TradingView. This is expected behavior.
The indicator uses MA stacking, not crossover events, to determine sentiment.
Stochastic Overlay - Regression Channel (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Stochastic Overlay – Regression Channel (Zeiierman) is a next-generation visualization tool that transforms the traditional Stochastic Oscillator into a dynamic price-based overlay.
Instead of leaving momentum trapped in a lower subwindow, this indicator projects the Stochastic oscialltor directly onto price itself — allowing traders to visually interpret momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and market strength without ever taking their eyes off price action.
⚪ In simple terms:
▸ The Bands = The Stochastic Oscillator — but on price.
▸ The Midline = Stochastic 50 level
▸ Upper Band = Stochastic Overbought Threshold
▸ Lower Band = Stochastic Oversold Threshold
When the price moves above the midline → it’s the same as the oscillator moving above 50
When the price breaks above the upper band → it’s the same as Stochastic entering overbought.
When the price reaches the lower band →, think of it like Stochastic being oversold.
This makes market conditions visually intuitive. You’re literally watching the oscillator live on the price chart.
█ How It Works
The indicator layers 3 distinct technical elements into one clean view:
⚪ Stochastic Momentum Engine
Tracks overbought/oversold conditions and directional strength using:
%K Line → Momentum of price
%D Line → Smoothing filter of %K
Overbought/Oversold Bands → Highlight potential reversal zones
⚪ Volatility Adaptive Bands
Dynamic bands plotted above and below price using:
ATR * Stochastic Scaling → Creates wider bands during volatile periods & tighter bands in calm conditions
Basis → Moving average centerline (EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA, RMA selectable)
This means:
→ In strong trends: Bands expand
→ In consolidations: Bands contract
⚪ Regression Channel
Projects trend direction with different models:
Logarithmic → Captures non-linear growth (perfect for crypto or exponential stocks)
Linear → Classic regression fit
Adaptive → Dynamically adjusts sensitivity
Leading → Projects trend further ahead (aggressive mode)
Channels include:
Midline → Fair value trend
Upper/Lower Bounds → Deviation-based support/resistance
⚪ Heatmap - Bull & Bear Power Strength
Visual heatmeter showing:
% dominance of bulls vs bears (based on close > or < Band Basis)
Automatic normalization regardless of timeframe
Table display on-chart for quick visual insight
Dynamic highlighting when extreme levels are reached
⚪ Trend Candlestick Coloring
Bars auto-color based on trend filter:
Above Basis → Bullish Color
Below Basis → Bearish Color
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Trading
→ Use Band direction + Regression Channel to identify trend alignment
→ Longs favored when price holds above the Basis
→ Shorts favored when price stays below the Basis
→ Use the Bull & Bear heatmap to asses if the bulls or the bears are in control.
⚪ Mean Reversion
→ Look for price to interact with Upper or Lower Band extremes
→ Stochastic reaching OB/OS zones further supports reversals
⚪ Momentum Confirmation
→ Crossovers between %K and %D can confirm continuation or divergence signals
→ Especially powerful when happening at band boundaries
⚪ Strength Heatmap
→ Quickly visualize current buyer vs seller control
→ Sharp spikes in Bull Power = Aggressive buying
→ Sharp spikes in Bear Power = Heavy selling pressure
█ Why It Useful
This is not a typical Stochastic or regression tool. The tool is designed for traders who want to:
React dynamically to price volatility
Map momentum into volatility context
Use adaptive regression channels across trend styles
Visualize bull vs bear power in real-time
Follow trends with built-in reversal logic
█ Settings
Stochastic Settings
Stochastic Length → Period of calculation. Higher = smoother, Lower = faster signals.
%K Smoothing → Smooths the Stochastic line itself.
%D Smoothing → Smooths the moving average of %K for slower signals.
Stochastic Band
Band Length → Length of the Moving Average Basis.
Volatility Multiplier → Controls band width via ATR scaling.
Band Type → Choose MA type (EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA, RMA).
Regression Channel
Regression Type → Logarithmic / Linear / Adaptive / Leading.
Regression Length → Number of bars for regression calculation.
Heatmap Settings
Heatmap Length → Number of bars to calculate bull/bear dominance.

Trend Targets [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script combines a smoothed trend-following model with dynamic price rejection logic and ATR-based target projection to give traders a complete visual framework for trading trend continuations. It overlays on price and automatically detects potential trend shifts, confirms rejections near dynamic support/resistance, and displays calculated stop-loss and take-profit levels to support structured risk-reward management. Unlike traditional indicators that only show trend direction or signal entries, this tool brings together a unique mix of signal validation, volatility-aware positioning, and layered profit-taking to guide decision-making with more context.
CONCEPTS
The core trend logic is built on a custom Supertrend that uses an ATR-based band structure with long smoothing chains—first through a WMA, then an EMA—allowing the trend line to respond to major shifts while ignoring noise. A key addition is the use of rejection logic: the script looks for consolidation candles that "hug" the smoothed trend line and counts how many consecutive bars reject from it. This behavior often precedes significant moves. A user-defined threshold filters out weak tests and highlights only meaningful rejections.
FEATURES
Trend Detection : Automatically identifies trend direction using a smoothed Supertrend (WMA + EMA), with shape markers on trend shifts and color-coded bars for clarity.
Rejection Signals : Detects price rejections at the trend line after a user-defined number of consolidation bars; plots ▲/▼ icons to highlight strong continuation setups.
Target Projection : On trend confirmation, plots entry, stop-loss (ATR-based), and three dynamic take-profit levels based on customizable multiples.
Dynamic Updates : All levels (entry, SL, TP1–TP3) auto-adjust based on volatility and are labeled in real time on the chart.
Customization : Users can tweak trend parameters, rejection confirmation count, SL/TP ratios, smoothing lengths, and appearance settings.
Alerts : Built-in alerts for trend changes, rejection events, and when TP1, TP2, or TP3 are reached.
Chart Overlay : Plots directly on price chart with minimal clutter and clearly labeled levels for easy trading.
USAGE
Start by tuning the Supertrend factor and ATR period to fit your asset and timeframe—higher values will catch bigger swings, lower values catch faster moves. The confirmation count should match how tightly you want to filter rejection behavior—higher values make signals rarer but stronger. When the trend shifts, the indicator colors the bars and line accordingly, and if enabled, plots the full entry-TP-SL structure. Rejection markers appear only after enough qualifying bars confirm price pressure at the trend line. This is especially useful for continuation plays where price retests the trend but fails to break it. All calculations are based on volatility (ATR), so targets naturally adjust with market conditions. Add alerts to get notified of important signals even when away from the chart.
Stochastic Order Flow Momentum [ScorsoneEnterprises]This indicator implements a stochastic model of order flow using the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process, combined with a Kalman filter to smooth momentum signals. It is designed to capture the dynamic momentum of volume delta, representing the net buying or selling pressure per bar, and highlight potential shifts in market direction. The volume delta data is sourced from TradingView’s built-in functionality:
www.tradingview.com
For a deeper dive into stochastic processes like the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model in financial contexts, see these research articles: arxiv.org and arxiv.org
The SOFM tool aims to reveal the momentum and acceleration of order flow, modeled as a mean-reverting stochastic process. In markets, order flow often oscillates around a baseline, with bursts of buying or selling pressure that eventually fade—similar to how physical systems return to equilibrium. The OU process captures this behavior, while the Kalman filter refines the signal by filtering noise. Parameters theta (mean reversion rate), mu (mean level), and sigma (volatility) are estimated by minimizing a squared-error objective function using gradient descent, ensuring adaptability to real-time market conditions.
How It Works
The script combines a stochastic model with signal processing. Here’s a breakdown of the key components, including the OU equation and supporting functions.
// Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model for volume delta
ou_model(params, v_t, lkb) =>
theta = clamp(array.get(params, 0), 0.01, 1.0)
mu = clamp(array.get(params, 1), -100.0, 100.0)
sigma = clamp(array.get(params, 2), 0.01, 100.0)
error = 0.0
v_pred = array.new(lkb, 0.0)
array.set(v_pred, 0, array.get(v_t, 0))
for i = 1 to lkb - 1
v_prev = array.get(v_pred, i - 1)
v_curr = array.get(v_t, i)
// Discretized OU: v_t = v_{t-1} + theta * (mu - v_{t-1}) + sigma * noise
v_next = v_prev + theta * (mu - v_prev)
array.set(v_pred, i, v_next)
v_curr_clean = na(v_curr) ? 0 : v_curr
v_pred_clean = na(v_next) ? 0 : v_next
error := error + math.pow(v_curr_clean - v_pred_clean, 2)
error
The ou_model function implements a discretized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process:
v_t = v_{t-1} + theta (mu - v_{t-1})
The model predicts volume delta (v_t) based on its previous value, adjusted by the mean-reverting term theta (mu - v_{t-1}), with sigma representing the volatility of random shocks (approximated in the Kalman filter).
Parameters Explained
The parameters theta, mu, and sigma represent distinct aspects of order flow dynamics:
Theta:
Definition: The mean reversion rate, controlling how quickly volume delta returns to its mean (mu). Constrained between 0.01 and 1.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 0), 0.01, 1.0)).
Interpretation: A higher theta indicates faster reversion (short-lived momentum), while a lower theta suggests persistent trends. Initial value is 0.1 in init_params.
In the Code: In ou_model, theta scales the pull toward \mu, influencing the predicted v_t.
Mu:
Definition: The long-term mean of volume delta, representing the equilibrium level of net buying/selling pressure. Constrained between -100.0 and 100.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 1), -100.0, 100.0)).
Interpretation: A positive mu suggests a bullish bias, while a negative mu indicates bearish pressure. Initial value is 0.0 in init_params.
In the Code: In ou_model, mu is the target level that v_t reverts to over time.
Sigma:
Definition: The volatility of volume delta, capturing the magnitude of random fluctuations. Constrained between 0.01 and 100.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 2), 0.01, 100.0)).
Interpretation: A higher sigma reflects choppier, noisier order flow, while a lower sigma indicates smoother behavior. Initial value is 0.1 in init_params.
In the Code: In the Kalman filter, sigma contributes to the error term, adjusting the smoothing process.
Summary:
theta: Speed of mean reversion (how fast momentum fades).
mu: Baseline order flow level (bullish or bearish bias).
sigma: Noise level (variability in order flow).
Other Parts of the Script
Clamp
A utility function to constrain parameters, preventing extreme values that could destabilize the model.
ObjectiveFunc
Defines the objective function (sum of squared errors) to minimize during parameter optimization. It compares the OU model’s predicted volume delta to observed data, returning a float to be minimized.
How It Works: Calls ou_model to generate predictions, computes the squared error for each timestep, and sums it. Used in optimization to assess parameter fit.
FiniteDifferenceGradient
Calculates the gradient of the objective function using finite differences. Think of it as finding the "slope" of the error surface for each parameter. It nudges each parameter (theta, mu, sigma) by a small amount (epsilon) and measures the change in error, returning an array of gradients.
Minimize
Performs gradient descent to optimize parameters. It iteratively adjusts theta, mu, and sigma by stepping down the "hill" of the error surface, using the gradients from FiniteDifferenceGradient. Stops when the gradient norm falls below a tolerance (0.001) or after 20 iterations.
Kalman Filter
Smooths the OU-modeled volume delta to extract momentum. It uses the optimized theta, mu, and sigma to predict the next state, then corrects it with observed data via the Kalman gain. The result is a cleaner momentum signal.
Applied
After initializing parameters (theta = 0.1, mu = 0.0, sigma = 0.1), the script optimizes them using volume delta data over the lookback period. The optimized parameters feed into the Kalman filter, producing a smoothed momentum array. The average momentum and its rate of change (acceleration) are calculated, though only momentum is plotted by default.
A rising momentum suggests increasing buying or selling pressure, while a flattening or reversing momentum indicates fading activity. Acceleration (not plotted here) could highlight rapid shifts.
Tool Examples
The SOFM indicator provides a dynamic view of order flow momentum, useful for spotting directional shifts or consolidation.
Low Time Frame Example: On a 5-minute chart of SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ , a rising momentum above zero with a lookback of 5 might signal building buying pressure, while a drop below zero suggests selling dominance. Crossings of the zero line can mark transitions, though the focus is on trend strength rather than frequent crossovers.
High Time Frame Example: On a daily chart of NYSE:VST , a sustained positive momentum could confirm a bullish trend, while a sharp decline might warn of exhaustion. The mean-reverting nature of the OU process helps filter out noise on longer scales. It doesn’t make the most sense to use this on a high timeframe with what our data is.
Choppy Markets: When momentum oscillates near zero, it signals indecision or low conviction, helping traders avoid whipsaws. Larger deviations from zero suggest stronger directional moves to act on, this is on $STT.
Inputs
Lookback: Users can set the lookback period (default 5) to adjust the sensitivity of the OU model and Kalman filter. Shorter lookbacks react faster but may be noisier; longer lookbacks smooth more but lag slightly.
The user can also specify the timeframe they want the volume delta from. There is a default way to lower and expand the time frame based on the one we are looking at, but users have the flexibility.
No indicator is 100% accurate, and SOFM is no exception. It’s an estimation tool, blending stochastic modeling with signal processing to provide a leading view of order flow momentum. Use it alongside price action, support/resistance, and your own discretion for best results. I encourage comments and constructive criticism.
Pullback Entry Zone FinderPullback Entry Zone Finder
Overview:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential buying opportunities during short-term pullbacks, particularly when faster-moving averages show signs of converging back towards slower ones. It visually flags potential zones where price might find support and resume its upward movement, based on moving average dynamics and price proximity.
How It Works:
The indicator utilizes four customizable moving averages (Trigger, Short-term, Intermediate, and Long-term) and Average True Range (ATR) to pinpoint specific conditions:
Pullback Detection: It identifies when the fast 'Trigger MA' is below the 'Short-term MA', indicating a potential short-term pullback or consolidation phase.
MA Convergence: Crucially, it looks for signs that the pullback might be weakening by detecting when the gap between the Short-term MA and the Trigger MA is narrowing (maConverging). This suggests the faster average is starting to catch up, potentially preceding a move back up.
Base Buy Zone (Orange Diamond): This signal appears when both the Pullback and Convergence conditions are met simultaneously. It indicates the general area where conditions are becoming favourable for a potential entry.
Refined Entry Zones:
Prime Entry Zone (Green Diamond): This appears within a Base Buy Zone if the bar's low comes within a specified percentage (Max Distance %) of the Short-term MA. It suggests price has pulled back close to the dynamic support of the Short MA.
ATR Entry Zone (Purple Diamond): This appears within a Base Buy Zone if the bar's low comes within the specified percentage (Max Distance %) of an ATR-based target level. This target level (Buy ATR Target Level, plotted as a purple line when active) is calculated by adding a multiple (ATR Multiplier %) of the ATR to the Short-term MA, providing a volatility-adjusted potential entry area.
Visual Elements:
Moving Averages: Four lines representing the Trigger, Short-term, Intermediate, and Long-term MAs (colors and opacity are customizable). Use the Intermediate and Long-term MAs to gauge the broader market trend.
Orange Diamond (Below Bar): Indicates a 'Base Buy Zone' where a pullback and MA convergence are detected.
Green Diamond (Below Bar): Indicates a 'Prime Entry Zone' where price is close to the Short-term MA during a Base Buy Zone.
Purple Diamond (Below Bar): Indicates an 'ATR Entry Zone' where price is close to the ATR-based target level during a Base Buy Zone.
Purple Line: Plots the calculated 'Buy ATR Target Level' only when the Base Buy Zone condition is active.
Input Parameters:
Moving Averages: Customize the Length and Type (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA) for all four moving averages.
ATR Settings: Adjust the ATR Length, the ATR Multiplier % (for calculating the target level), and the Max Distance % (for triggering the Prime and ATR Entry Zones).
Visualization: Set the colors for the four Moving Average lines.
How to Use:
Look for the Orange Diamond as the initial signal that pullback/convergence conditions are met.
The Green and Purple Diamonds suggest price has reached potentially more optimal entry levels within that zone, based on proximity to the Short MA or the ATR target, respectively.
Always consider the signals within the context of the broader trend, indicated by the Intermediate and Long-term MAs. This indicator is generally more effective when used to find entries during pullbacks within an established uptrend (e.g., Intermediate MA > Long MA).
Combine these signals with other forms of analysis, such as chart patterns, support/resistance levels, volume analysis, or other indicators for confirmation.
Disclaimer:
You should always use proper risk management techniques and conduct your own analysis before making any trading decisions. This indicator, or any other, will be of no use if you don't have good risk management.

Opal Title: Opal Lines
Short Title: Opal Lines
Description:
Opal Lines is a dynamic overlay indicator that plots horizontal price levels at the open of key market sessions throughout the trading day, based on Eastern Time (ET). Designed for traders who rely on session-based price action, it marks significant intraday events such as the European Open (3:00 AM ET), Gold Open (8:20 AM ET), Regular Market Open (9:30 AM ET), and Globex Open (6:00 PM ET), among others. Each line is color-coded and toggleable via inputs, allowing users to customize which sessions they want to track.
Unlike generic time-based tools, Opal Lines captures the opening price at precise minute intervals and extends these levels across the chart until the daily reset at 5:00 PM ET (except for the Globex line, which persists into the next day). This makes it ideal for identifying support/resistance zones, breakout levels, or reference points tied to major market openings. Traders can use it across forex, futures, equities, or commodities to align their strategies with global session dynamics.
Key Features:
Seven toggleable session lines with distinct colors for easy identification.
Time-specific logic using ET, adaptable to any chart timeframe.
Persistent lines that reset daily, with Globex extending overnight.
Lightweight and overlay-friendly, preserving chart clarity.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart and enable the sessions relevant to your trading style. Watch for price interactions with these levels—e.g., bounces, breaks, or retests—especially during high-volume periods. Combine with other tools like volume or oscillators for confirmation.
Note: Ensure your chart’s timezone is set to “America/New_York” (ET) for accurate alignment.

Supertrend + MACD with Advanced FiltersDetailed Guide
1. Indicator Overview
Purpose:
This enhanced indicator combines Supertrend and MACD to signal potential trend changes. In addition, it now includes several extra filters for more reliable signals:
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Confirmation: Checks a higher timeframe’s trend.
ADX (Momentum) Filter: Ensures the market is trending strongly.
Dynamic Factor Adjustment: Adapts the Supertrend sensitivity to current volatility.
Volume Filter: Verifies that current volume is above average.
Each filter can be enabled or disabled according to your preference.
How It Works:
The Supertrend calculates dynamic support/resistance levels based on ATR and an adjustable factor, while MACD identifies momentum shifts via its crossovers. The additional filters then confirm whether the conditions meet your criteria for a trend change. If all enabled filters align, the indicator plots a shape and triggers an alert.
2. Supertrend Component with Dynamic Factor
Base Factor & ATR Period:
The Supertrend uses these inputs to compute its dynamic bands.
Dynamic Factor Toggle:
When enabled, the factor is adjusted by comparing the current ATR to its simple moving average. This makes the indicator adapt to higher or lower volatility conditions, helping to reduce false signals.
3. MACD Component
Parameters:
Standard MACD settings (Fast MA, Slow MA, Signal Smoothing) determine the responsiveness of the MACD line. Crossovers between the MACD line and its signal line indicate potential trend reversals.
4. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Filter
Function:
If enabled, the indicator uses a higher timeframe’s simple moving average (SMA) to confirm the prevailing trend.
Bullish Confirmation: The current close is above the higher timeframe SMA.
Bearish Confirmation: The current close is below the higher timeframe SMA.
5. ADX Filter (Momentum)
Custom Calculation:
Since the built-in ta.adx function may not be available, a custom ADX is calculated. This involves:
Determining positive and negative directional movements (DMs).
Smoothing these values to obtain +DI and -DI.
Calculating the DX and then smoothing it to yield the ADX.
Threshold:
Only signals where the ADX exceeds the set threshold (default 20) are considered valid, ensuring that the market is trending strongly enough.
6. Volume Filter
Function:
Checks if the current volume exceeds the average volume (SMA) multiplied by a specified factor. This helps confirm that a price move is supported by sufficient trading activity.
7. Combined Signal Logic & Alerts
Final Signal:
A bullish signal is generated when:
MACD shows a bullish crossover,
Supertrend indicates an uptrend,
And all enabled filters (MTF, ADX, volume) confirm the signal.
The bearish signal is generated similarly in the opposite direction.
Alerts:
Alert conditions are set so that TradingView can notify you via pop-up, email, or SMS when these combined conditions are met.
8. User Adjustments
Toggle Filters:
Use the on/off switches for MTF, ADX, and Volume filters as needed.
Parameter Tuning:
Adjust the ATR period, base factor, higher timeframe settings, ADX period/threshold, and volume multiplier to match your trading style and market conditions.
Backtesting:
Always backtest your settings to ensure that they perform well with your strategy.
DOPT---
## 🔍 **DOPT - Daily Open & Price Time Markers**
This script is designed to support directional bias development and price behavior analysis around key time-based reference points on the **1H and 4H timeframes**.
### ✨ **What It Does**
- **1800 Open Marker** (6 PM NY time): Plots the **daily open** from 1800 in **black dotted lines**.
- **0000 Open Marker** (Midnight NY time): Plots the **midnight open** in **blue dotted lines**.
- **Day Letters**: Each 1800 open is labeled with the corresponding **day of the week** (e.g., M, T, W...), helping visually segment your chart.
- **Hour Labels**: Select specific candles (e.g., 0000 = '0', 0800 = '8') to be labeled above the bar. These are fully customizable.
- **Candle Midpoints**: Option to mark the **50% level** of a specific candle (good for CE or CRT references).
- **CRT High/Low Tracking**: Ability to plot **extended high and low lines** from a selected candle back (e.g., for CRT modeling).
- **4H Timeframe Candle Numbering**: Helpful when analyzing sequences on the 4-hour timeframe. Candles are numbered `1`, `5`, and `9` for reference.
---
### 🧠 **How I Use It**
- I mostly use this on the **1-hour timeframe** to decide **directional bias** for the day:
- If price **closes above 1800 open**, I consider that a **green daily close** — potential bullish sentiment.
- If price **closes below**, I treat it as a **red daily close** — potential bearish behavior.
- Price often uses these opens as **support/resistance**, so I watch for reactions there.
- On the **4H**, the candle numbers help track structure and flow.
- Combine with CRT tools to mark **key candle highs/lows** and their **equilibrium (50%)** — great for refining entries or understanding how price is respecting a particular candle.
---
### ⚠️ **Note on Daylight Savings**
This is a **daylight saving time-dependent script**. When DST kicks in or out, you’ll need to **adjust the time inputs** accordingly to keep the opens accurate (e.g., 1800 might shift to 1700 depending on the season).
---
### 🔁 **Backtesting & Reference**
- The **1800 and 0000 opens** are plotted for **as far back** as your chart loads, making it great for backtesting historical reactions.
- The CRT marking tools only go back **50 candles max**, so use that for recent structure only.

Reversal & Breakout Strategy with ORB### Reversal & Breakout Strategy with ORB
This strategy combines three distinct trading approaches—reversals, trend breakouts, and opening range breakouts (ORB)—into a single, cohesive system. The goal is to capture high-probability setups across different market conditions, leveraging a mashup of technical indicators for confirmation and risk management. Below, I’ll explain why this combination works, how the components interact, and how to use it effectively.
#### Why the Mashup?
- **Reversals**: Identifies overextended moves using RSI (overbought/oversold) and SMA50 crosses, filtered by VWAP and SMA200 trend direction. This targets mean-reversion opportunities in trending markets.
- **Breakouts**: Uses EMA9/EMA20 crossovers with VWAP and SMA200 confirmation to catch momentum-driven trend continuations.
- **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)**: Detects early momentum by breaking the high/low of a user-defined opening range (default: 15 bars) with volume confirmation. This adds a time-based edge, ideal for intraday trading.
The synergy comes from blending these methods: reversals catch pullbacks, breakouts ride trends, and ORB exploits early volatility—all filtered by trend (SMA200) and anchored by VWAP for context.
#### How It Works
1. **Indicators**:
- **EMA9/EMA20**: Fast-moving averages for breakout signals.
- **SMA50**: Medium-term trend filter for reversals.
- **SMA200**: Long-term trend direction to align trades.
- **RSI (14)**: Measures overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) conditions.
- **VWAP**: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level.
- **ATR (14)**: Sets stop-loss distance (default: 1.5x ATR).
- **Volume**: Confirms ORB breakouts (1.5x average volume of opening range).
2. **Entry Conditions**:
- **Long**: Triggers on reversal (SMA50 cross + RSI < 30 + below VWAP + uptrend), breakout (EMA9 > EMA20 + above VWAP + uptrend), or ORB (break above opening range high + volume).
- **Short**: Triggers on reversal (SMA50 cross + RSI > 70 + above VWAP + downtrend), breakout (EMA9 < EMA20 + below VWAP + downtrend), or ORB (break below opening range low + volume).
3. **Risk Management**:
- Risks 5% of equity per trade (based on the initial capital set in the strategy tester).
- Stop-loss: Based on lowest low/highest high over 7 bars ± 1.5x ATR.
- Targets: Two exits at 1:1 and 1:2 risk:reward (50% of position at each).
- Break-even: Stop moves to entry price after the first target is hit.
4. **Backtesting Settings**:
- Commission: Hardcoded at 0.1% per trade (realistic for most brokers).
- Slippage: Hardcoded at 2 ticks (realistic for most markets).
- Tested on datasets yielding 100+ trades (e.g., 2-min or 5-min charts over months).
#### How to Use It
- **Timeframe**: Works best on intraday (2-min, 5-min) or daily charts. Adjust `Opening Range Bars` (e.g., 15 bars = 30 min on 2-min chart) for your timeframe.
- **Settings**:
- Set your initial equity in the TradingView strategy tester’s "Properties" tab under "Initial Capital" (e.g., $10,000). The script automatically risks 5% of this equity per trade.
- Adjust `Stop Loss ATR Multiplier` or `Risk:Reward Targets` based on your risk tolerance.
- Note that commission (0.1%) and slippage (2 ticks) are fixed in the script for backtesting consistency.
- **Execution**: Enter on signal, monitor plotted stop (red) and targets (green/blue). The strategy supports pyramiding (up to 2 positions) for scaling into trends.
#### Backtesting Notes
Results are realistic with commission (0.1%) and slippage (2 ticks) included. For a sufficient sample, test on volatile instruments (e.g., stocks, forex) over 3-6 months on lower timeframes. The default 1.5x ATR stop may seem wide, but it’s justified to avoid premature exits in volatile markets—feel free to tweak it with justification. The script assumes an initial capital of $10,000 in the strategy tester for the 5% risk calculation (e.g., $500 risk per trade); adjust this in the "Properties" tab as needed.
This mashup isn’t just a random mix; it’s a deliberate fusion of complementary strategies, offering traders flexibility across market phases. Questions? Let me know!

Wyckoff Event Detection [Alpha Extract]Wyckoff Event Detection
A powerful and intelligent indicator designed to detect key Wyckoff events in real time, helping traders analyze market structure and anticipate potential trend shifts. Using volume and price action, this script automatically identifies distribution and accumulation phases, providing traders with valuable insights into market behavior.
🔶 Phase-Based Detection
Utilizes a phase detection algorithm that evaluates price and volume conditions to identify accumulation (bullish) and distribution (bearish) events. This method ensures the script effectively captures major market turning points and avoids noise.
🔶 Multi-Factor Event Recognition
Incorporates multiple event conditions, including upthrusts, selling climaxes, and springs, to detect high-probability entry and exit points. Each event is filtered through customizable sensitivity settings, ensuring precise detection aligned with different trading styles.
🔶 Customizable Parameters
Fine-tune event detection with adjustable thresholds for volume, price movement, trend strength, and event spacing. These inputs allow traders to personalize the script to match their strategy and risk tolerance.
// === USER INPUTS ===
i_volLen = input.int(20, "Volume MA Length", minval=1)
i_priceLookback = input.int(20, "Price Pattern Lookback", minval=5)
i_lineLength = input.int(15, "Line Length", minval=5)
i_labelSpacing = input.int(5, "Minimum Label Spacing (bars)", minval=1, maxval=20)
❓How It Works
🔶 Event Identification
The script scans for key Wyckoff events by analyzing volume spikes, price deviations, and trend shifts within a user-defined lookback period. It categorizes events into bullish (accumulation) or bearish (distribution) structures and plots them directly on the chart.
// === EVENT DETECTION ===
volMA = ta.sma(volume, i_volLen)
highestHigh = ta.highest(high, i_priceLookback)
lowestLow = ta.lowest(low, i_priceLookback)
🔶 Automatic Filtering & Cleanup
Unconfirmed or weak signals are filtered out using customizable strength multipliers and volume thresholds. Events that do not meet the minimum conditions are discarded to keep the chart clean and informative.
🔶 Phase Strength Analysis
The script continuously tracks bullish and bearish event counts to determine whether the market is currently in an accumulation, distribution, or neutral phase. This allows traders to align their strategies accordingly.
🔶 Visual Alerts & Labels
Detects and labels key Wyckoff events directly on the chart, providing immediate insights into market conditions:
- PSY (Preliminary Supply) and UT (Upthrust) for distribution phases.
- PS (Preliminary Support) and SC (Selling Climax) for accumulation phases.
- Labels adjust dynamically to avoid chart clutter and improve readability.
🔶 Entry & Exit Optimization
By highlighting supply and demand imbalances, the script assists traders in identifying optimal entry and exit points. Wyckoff concepts such as springs and upthrusts provide clear trade signals based on market structure.
🔶 Trend Confirmation & Risk Management
Observing how price reacts to detected events helps confirm trend direction and potential reversals. Traders can place stop-loss and take-profit levels based on Wyckoff phase analysis, ensuring strategic trade execution.
🔶 Table-Based Market Analysis (Table)
A built-in table summarizes:
- Market Phase: Accumulation, Distribution, or Neutral.
- Strength of Phase: Weak, Moderate, or Strong.
- Price Positioning: Whether price is near support, resistance, or in a trading range.

[TehThomas] - ICT Volume ImbalanceThis script is a Volume Imbalance (VI) detector and visualizer for use on the TradingView platform. The goal of the script is to automatically identify areas where there are significant imbalances in the volume of trades between consecutive candlesticks and visually highlight these areas. These imbalances can provide traders with valuable insights about the market’s current condition, often signaling potential reversal or continuation points based on price and volume action.
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Concept of Volume Imbalances
Volume imbalances are a critical concept in the ICT trading methodology. They refer to situations where there is an unusual or significant difference in volume between two consecutive candlesticks, which might indicate institutional or large player activity. According to ICT principles, these imbalances can show us areas of market inefficiency or potential price manipulation. By identifying these imbalances, traders can gain an edge in understanding where the market is likely to move next.
Bullish and Bearish Volume Imbalances:
Bullish Volume Imbalance: This occurs when there is a strong increase in buying pressure, typically indicated by a higher volume on a candle that closes significantly above the previous one, often leaving a gap or larger price movement. The market could be preparing to push higher, and the volume shows a clear shift in buying demand.
Bearish Volume Imbalance:
Conversely, a bearish imbalance occurs when there is a strong increase in selling pressure, typically signaled by a candle that closes significantly lower than the previous one, again with higher volume. This could indicate that large players are offloading positions, and the price is likely to drop further.
Key Features and Functions of the Script
The script automates the process of detecting these volume imbalances and visually marking them on a price chart. Let’s explore its functionality in detail.
1. Inputs Section
The script allows for significant customization through its input options, which help traders adjust the detection and visualization of volume imbalances based on their individual preferences and trading style. Below are the details:
lookback (250 bars): This input specifies the number of bars (or candles) the script should look back when analyzing the volume imbalance. By setting this to 250, the user is looking at the last 250 bars on the chart to detect any significant volume imbalances. This period is adjustable between 50 to 500 bars.
volumeThreshold (1.0 multiplier): This input helps set the sensitivity for identifying volume imbalances. The script compares the volume of the current candle with the previous one, and if the current volume exceeds the previous volume by this threshold multiplier (in this case, 1.0 means at least equal to the previous volume), then it triggers an imbalance. Users can adjust the multiplier to suit different market conditions.
showBoxes (true/false): This toggle determines whether the boxes representing volume imbalances are drawn on the chart. When enabled, the script visually highlights the imbalances with colored boxes.
fillBaseColor (orange with 80% opacity): This is the color setting for the background of the imbalance boxes. A softer color (like orange with opacity) ensures the imbalance is highlighted without obscuring the price action.
borderColor (gray): The color of the border around the imbalance boxes. This adds a visual distinction to make the imbalance areas more visible.
borderWidth (1 pixel): This controls the width of the box's border to adjust how prominent it appears.
rightOffset (30 bars): This input controls how far the imbalance box extends to the right on the chart. It helps users anticipate the potential continuation of the imbalance beyond the current candle.
allowWickOverlap (true/false): This setting allows imbalances to be identified even if the wicks of the two consecutive candlesticks overlap. If set to false, only imbalances where the bodies of the candlesticks don’t overlap are considered.
showBrokenBoxes (true/false): If enabled, once a volume imbalance no longer holds true (i.e., the price breaks through the box), the box is marked as "broken." If disabled, the box is deleted when the imbalance condition no longer applies.
brokenBoxColor (red): This controls the color of the box when it is broken, which can be used as a visual cue that the imbalance was invalidated or no longer valid for analysis.
2. Volume Imbalance Function
This is the core function of the script, where the logic to detect bullish and bearish volume imbalances is implemented.
Bullish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the low of the current candle is greater than the high of the previous candle. This suggests that the market is moving upward with buying pressure.
The second condition checks whether the volume of the current candle is higher than the previous candle by the volumeThreshold multiplier. If both conditions are satisfied, a bullish imbalance is detected.
Bearish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle. This suggests downward price action with selling pressure.
The second condition checks whether the current volume exceeds the previous volume by the threshold
Allow Wick Overlap: If allowWickOverlap is set to true, the script will still detect imbalances if the wicks of the two candles overlap (common in volatile markets). If false, imbalances are only considered if the wicks do not overlap.
3. Box Creation and Management
When a volume imbalance is detected, the script creates a box on the chart:
The bullish imbalance box is drawn using the minimum of the open and close of the current bar as the top boundary and the maximum of the open and close of the previous bar as the bottom boundary.
Conversely, the bearish imbalance box is drawn in reverse, using the maximum of the current bar’s open and close as the top boundary and the minimum of the previous bar’s open and close as the bottom boundary.
Once the box is created, it is displayed on the chart with the specified background color, border color, and width.
4. Processing Existing Boxes
After detecting a new imbalance and drawing a box, the script checks whether the box should still remain on the chart:
If the price moves beyond the boundaries of the imbalance box, the box is marked as broken (if showBrokenBoxes is enabled), and its color is changed to red, signifying that the imbalance is no longer valid.
If the box remains intact (i.e., the price has not broken the defined boundaries), the script keeps the box extended to the right as the market continues to evolve.
5. Removing Outdated Boxes
Lastly, the script removes boxes that are older than the specified lookback period. For example, if a box was created 250 bars ago, it will be deleted after that period. This ensures the chart stays clean and only focuses on relevant imbalances.
Why This Script is Useful for Traders
This script is extremely valuable for traders, especially those following the ICT methodology, because it automates the process of detecting market inefficiencies or imbalances that might signal future price action. Here’s why it’s particularly useful:
Identifying Key Areas of Interest: Volume imbalances often point to areas where institutional or large-scale traders have entered the market. These areas could provide clues about the next significant move in the market.
Visualizing Market Structure: By automatically drawing boxes around volume imbalances, the script helps traders visually identify potential areas of support, resistance, or turning points, enabling them to make informed trading decisions.
Time Efficiency: Instead of manually analyzing each candlestick and volume spike, this script does the heavy lifting, saving traders valuable time and allowing them to focus on other aspects of their strategy.
Enhanced Trade Entries and Exits: By understanding where volume imbalances are occurring, traders can time their entries (buying during bullish imbalances and selling during bearish ones) and exits (as imbalances break) more effectively, thus improving their chances of success.
Conclusion
In summary, this script is a powerful tool for traders looking to implement volume imbalance strategies based on the ICT methodology. It automates the identification and visualization of significant imbalances in price and volume, offering traders a clear visual representation of potential market turning points. By customizing the settings, traders can tailor the script to their preferred timeframes and sensitivity, making it a flexible and effective tool for any trading strategy.
