[Statistics] killzone SFPSFP Statistics (ICT Sessions)
This indicator automatically finds and draws the high and low of the Asia, London, and New York trading sessions. It then hunts for Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs) that sweep these key session levels.
The main purpose of this script is to gather statistics on when these high-probability SFPs occur, allowing you to map out and identify the times of day when they are most frequent.
How to Use This Indicator
Set Your SFP Timeframe: In the settings, choose the timeframe you want to hunt for SFPs on (e.g., 1H, 15m). Important: You must also set your main chart to this exact same timeframe for the statistics to be collected correctly.
Define Your Sessions: Go to the "Session Definitions" tab.
Set the Global Timezone to your preferred trading timezone (e.g., "America/New_York"). This controls all session times and table times.
Adjust the start and end times for Asia, London, and NY AM sessions.
You can turn off sessions you don't want to track (like NY Lunch or NY PM).
You can also change the colors and text style for the session boxes here.
Set Confirmation Bars: In "SFP Engine Settings," the "Confirmation Bars" (default is 2) defines how many bars must close after the SFP bar without invalidating the level. An SFP is only "confirmed" and drawn after this period.
0 = Confirms immediately on the SFP candle's close.
2 = Confirms 2 bars after the SFP candle's close.
Read the Statistics: The "Custom SFP Statistics" table will appear on your chart. This table logs every confirmed SFP and tells you:
Which time of day they happen most.
How many were Bearish (swept a high) vs. Bullish (swept a low).
It's set by default to show the "Top 20" most frequent times, sorted chronologically.
Filter Your Chart (Optional): If your chart feels cluttered, go to "Visual Time Filter" and turn it ON.
Set a time window (e.g., "09:30-11:00").
The indicator will now only draw SFP signals that occurred within that specific time window. This is perfect for focusing on a single killzone.
How to Set Up Alerts
You can set up server-side alerts to be notified every time a new SFP is confirmed.
Check the "Enable SFP Alerts" box at the top of the indicator's settings.
Click the "Alert" button (alarm clock icon) on the TradingView toolbar.
In the "Condition" dropdown, select "SFP Statistics (ICT Sessions)".
In the second dropdown, choose "Any alert() function call".
Most Important Step: In the "Message" box, delete any default text and type in this exact placeholder:
{{alert_message}}
Set the trigger to "Once Per Bar Close".
Click "Create".
How Alerts Work (Triggers & Filtering)
Trigger: Alerts are tied to the confirmed signal. An alert will only fire after your "Confirmation Bars" have passed and the SFP is locked in. This prevents you from getting alerts on fake-outs.
Alert Filtering: The alerts are linked to the "Visual Time Filter". If you turn on the Visual Time Filter (e.g., to 09:30-11:00), you will only receive alerts for SFPs that are confirmed within that time window. If an SFP happens at 14:00, the script will ignore it, it will not be drawn, and it will not send you an alert. This allows you to get alerts only for the session you are actively trading.
Note: This is a first draft of this indicator. I will continue to work on it and improve it over time, as it may still contain small bugs.

Holographic Market Microstructure | AlphaNattHolographic Market Microstructure | AlphaNatt
A multidimensional, holographically-rendered framework designed to expose the invisible forces shaping every candle — liquidity voids, smart money footprints, order flow imbalances, and structural evolution — in real time.
---
📘 Overview
The Holographic Market Microstructure (HMS) is not a traditional indicator. It’s a visual architecture built to interpret the true anatomy of the market — a living data structure that fuses price, volume, and liquidity into one coherent holographic layer.
Instead of reacting to candles, HMS visualizes the market’s underlying micro-dynamics : where liquidity hides, where volume flows, and how structure morphs as smart money accumulates or distributes.
Designed for system-based traders, volume analysts, and liquidity theorists who demand to see the unseen — the invisible grid driving every price movement.
---
🔬 Core Analytical Modules
Microstructure Analysis
Deconstructs each bar’s internal composition to identify imbalance between aggressive buying and selling. Using a configurable Imbalance Ratio and Liquidity Threshold , the algorithm marks low-liquidity zones and price inefficiencies as “liquidity voids.”
• Detects hidden supply/demand gaps.
• Quantifies micro-level absorption and exhaustion.
• Reveals flow compression and expansion phases.
Smart Money Tracking
Applies advanced volume-rate-of-change and price momentum relationships to map institutional activity.
• Accumulation Zones – Where price rises on expanding volume.
• Distribution Zones – Where price declines on rising volume.
• Automatically visualized as glowing boxes, layered through time to simulate footprint persistence.
Fractal Structure Mapping
Reveals the recursive nature of price formation. HMS detects fractal highs/lows, then connects them into an evolving structure.
• Defines nested market structure across multiple scales.
• Maps trend progression and transition points.
• Renders with adaptive glow lines to reflect depth and strength.
Volume Heat Map
Transforms historical volume data into a 3D holographic heat projection.
• Each band represents a volume-weighted price level.
• Gradient brightness = relative participation intensity.
• Helps identify volume nodes, voids, and liquidity corridors.
HUD Display System
Real-time analytical dashboard summarizing the system’s internal metrics directly on the chart.
• Flow, Structure, Smart$, Liquidity, and Divergence — all live.
• Designed for both scalpers and swing traders to assess micro-context instantly.

🧠 Smart Money Intelligence Layer
The Smart Money Index dynamically evaluates the harmony (or conflict) between price momentum and volume acceleration. When institutions accumulate or distribute discreetly, volume surges ahead of price. HMS detects this divergence and overlays it as glowing smart money zones.
◈ ACCUM → Institutional absorption, early uptrend formation.
◈ DISTRIB → Distribution and top-heavy conditions.
○ IDLE → Neutral flow equilibrium.
Divergences between price and volume are signaled using holographic alerts ( ⚠ ALERT ) to highlight exhaustion or trap conditions — often precursors to structural reversals.
---
🌀 Fractal Market Structure Engine
The fractal subsystem recursively identifies local pivot symmetry, connecting micro-structural highs and lows into a holographic skeleton.
• Bullish Structure — Higher highs & higher lows align (▲ BULLISH).
• Bearish Structure — Lower highs & lower lows dominate (▼ BEARISH).
• Ranging — Fractal symmetry balance (◆ RANGING).
Each transition is visually represented through adaptive glow intensity, producing a living contour of market evolution .
---
🔥 Volume Heat Map Projection
The heatmap acts as a volumetric X-ray of the recent 100–300 bars. Each horizontal segment reflects liquidity density, rendered with gradient opacity from cold (inactive) to hot (highly active).
• Detects hidden accumulation shelves and distribution ridges.
• Identifies imbalanced liquidity corridors (voids).
• Reveals the invisible scaffolding of the order book.
When combined with smart money zones and structure lines, it creates a multi-layered holographic perspective — allowing traders to see liquidity clusters and their interaction with evolving structure in real time.

💎 Holographic Visual Engine
Every element of HMS is dynamically color-mapped to its visual theme . Each theme carries a distinct personality:
Aeon — Neon blue plasma aesthetic; futuristic and fluid.
Cyber — High-contrast digital energy; circuit-like clarity.
Quantum — Deep space gradients; reflective of non-linear flow.
Neural — Organic transitions; biological intelligence simulation.
Plasma — Vapor-bright gradients; high-energy reactive feedback.
Crystal — Minimalist, transparent geometry; pristine data visibility.
Optional Glow Effects and Pulse Animations create a living hologram that responds to real-time market conditions.

FVG ATRFVG ATR — Fair Value Gap Size Measured in ATR Units
This Pine Script v6 indicator detects Fair Value Gaps and displays their size as a ratio of the Average True Range, providing traders with a normalized measurement of gap significance across different market conditions and timeframes.
Key Features
Automatic FVG Detection
The indicator identifies bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps using the standard three-candle pattern. Bullish FVGs occur when the current low exceeds the high from two bars ago, while bearish FVGs occur when the current high falls below the low from two bars ago.
ATR Ratio Calculation
Each detected FVG is measured against the current Average True Range at the moment of detection. The ratio is displayed as a compact label next to the gap, showing values like "ATR: 0.75" or "ATR: 1.41". This normalization allows comparison of gap significance across volatile and calm market periods.
Minimal Visual Footprint
Labels are displayed directly on the chart without boxes or lines, using customizable text sizes from tiny to large. The default tiny size ensures the chart remains uncluttered while providing essential information at a glance.
Highly Customizable Display
All visual aspects are configurable through input parameters, including label position (top, middle, or bottom of gap), text size, text color, optional background, and horizontal offset from the detection candle.
Customizable Parameters
Detection Settings
Detect Bullish FVG: Enable or disable detection of bullish gaps. Default is enabled.
Detect Bearish FVG: Enable or disable detection of bearish gaps. Default is enabled.
Min Size (pips): Filter out small gaps below the specified threshold. One pip equals 10 ticks for most Forex pairs. Default is 10 pips.
ATR Calculation
ATR Period: Period length for Average True Range calculation. Default is 14, adjustable to match your trading strategy.
Label Settings
Label Position: Vertical placement of the text label relative to the FVG zone. Options are Top, Middle, or Bottom. Default is Middle.
Label Size: Text size from Tiny (smallest), Small, Normal, to Large. Default is Tiny for minimal chart clutter.
Text Color: Custom color for label text. Default is white for visibility on dark themes.
Show Background: Toggle to display labels with a colored background box or as transparent text only. Default is disabled for cleaner appearance.
Background Color: Custom color for label background when enabled. Default is semi-transparent gray.
Label Offset (bars): Horizontal distance in bars between the detection candle and the label. Set to 0 for labels directly on the candle, or increase for separation. Default is 0.
Recommended Use Cases
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Compare FVG significance across different timeframes by observing ATR ratios. A 1.5 ATR gap on the 1-hour chart may indicate different significance than the same ratio on the daily chart.
Volatility-Adjusted Trading
Use ATR ratios to filter for only the most significant gaps. For example, only trade FVGs with ratios above 1.0 to focus on gaps larger than typical price movement.
Risk Management
Size positions based on gap magnitude relative to current volatility. Larger ATR ratios may warrant tighter stops or smaller position sizes.
Market Efficiency Analysis
Track how quickly and completely different-sized gaps get filled. Gaps with higher ATR ratios may take longer to fill or act as stronger support and resistance zones.
Technical Details
This indicator is written in Pine Script v6 and follows all recommended coding standards including strict 4-space indentation, lazy boolean evaluation, and proper type declarations. The script uses array-based storage to maintain up to 500 labels simultaneously.
The ATR ratio is calculated at the moment of FVG detection and remains fixed, never repainting. The calculation divides the FVG height (distance between gap boundaries) by the current ATR value using the specified period. Division by zero is protected with conditional logic.
Label positioning uses the xloc.bar_index and yloc.price system for precise placement. The horizontal offset parameter allows traders to adjust label spacing based on chart zoom level and personal preference. Text formatting uses str.tostring with two decimal places for clear ratio display.
Important Notes
The indicator never repaints as all FVG detections and ATR calculations are fixed upon bar confirmation. Labels persist on the chart until the maximum label count is reached, at which point the oldest labels are automatically removed by TradingView.
For optimal performance on charts with many FVGs, consider increasing the minimum pip size filter or using smaller label sizes. The tiny size option provides the smallest possible text for maximum chart clarity.
Installation and Usage
Copy the source code into the TradingView Pine Editor and add the indicator to your chart. The overlay parameter is set to true, allowing labels to display directly on price candles. Configure all parameters through the indicator settings panel to match your trading style and visual preferences.

EPS Estimate Profile [SS]This is the EPS Estimate Profile indicator.
What it does
This indicator
Collects all EPS estimates over the course of a lookback and BINS them (sorts them into 10 equal sized categories).
Analyzes the returns from earnings releases based on the EPS estimate and the reaction.
Calculates the number of bullish vs bearish responses that transpired based on the EPS estimate profile.
Calculates the expected Open to High and Open to Low ATR based on the EPS estimate using regression.
Toggle to actual EPS release to compare once earnings results are released.
How to Use it
This indicator can be used to gain insight into whether an earnings release will be received bullishly or bearishly based on the company's EPS estimate.
The indicator allows you to see all historic estimates and how the market generally responded to those estimates, as well as a breakdown of how many times estimates in those ranges produced a bullish response or a bearish response to earnings.
Examples
Let's look at some examples:
Here is MSFT. MSFT's last EPS estimate was 3.672.
If we consult the table, we can see the average return associated with this estimate range is -4%.
Now let's flip to the Daily timeframe and take a look:
MSFT ended the day red and continued to sell into the coming days.
Let's look at another example:
MCDs. Last earnings estimate was 3.327, putting it at the top of the range with an average positive return of 4%.
Let's look on the daily:
We can see that the earnings had a huge, bullish effect on MCD, despite them coming in below their estimates.
If we toggle the indicator to "Actual" EPS release, to see the profile of Actual earnings releases vs response, we get this:
Since MCD under-performed, they were still at the top of the profile; but, we can see that the expected returns are more muted now, though still positive. And indeed, the reaction was still positive.
Distinguishing % Bullish/Bearish to Avg Returns
You will see the profile table displays both the average returns and the percent of bullish/bearish responses. In some cases, you will see that, despite a negative return, the profile reveals more bullish reactions than bearish.
What does this mean?
It means, despite there being more bullish responses, when bearish responses happen they tend to be more severe and profound, vs bullish responses likely are muted.
This can alert you to potential downside risk and help you manage risk accordingly should you elect to trade the earnings release.
ATR Prediction
You will notice in the bottom right corner of the screen a secondary table that lists the predicted open to high ATR and open to low ATR.
This is done using RAW EPS estimates (or raw ACTUAL estimates depending on which you select) and performing a regression to determine the expected ATR.
This is only for reference, the analysis should focus around the historic profile of return estimates and actual return values.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You MUST be on the Monthly timeframe to use this. Otherwise, you will get an error. If, on certain tickers with a huge history, such as MSFT and XOM or OXY, you get an error, you can simply reduce the lookback length to 80 and this will resolve the issue.
Conclusion
And that's the indicator!
A blend of some light math and fundamentals! A real joy honestly.
Hope you enjoy it!

VSA No Supply by MashrabNo Supply Signal created by Mashrab
Hi everyone! This indicator helps you find low-risk entry points during an existing uptrend.
Its main job is to spot "quiet" pauses in a stock's advance, right before it's ready to continue its upward move.
What's the Big Idea?
Think of a stock in an uptrend like someone climbing a staircase. They can't sprint to the top all at once! Eventually, they need to pause, catch their breath, and then continue climbing.
This indicator helps you find that "catch your breath" moment. It looks for a specific signal that shows all the sellers are gone (what we call "No Supply"). When there's no one left to sell, the stock is much more likely to go up.
How It Works (The Signals)
The indicator gives you two simple signals on your chart:
1. The "Get Ready" Signal (Grey Dot)
The indicator is always checking to make sure the stock is in a general uptrend. When it spots a Grey Dot, it's telling you: "Hey, the stock just had a quiet pullback day. Pay attention!"
This dot only appears if the bar meets four conditions:
It's a "down" bar (closed lower than it opened).
It has low volume (this is key! It shows sellers aren't interested).
It has a narrow range (it was a quiet, low-volatility bar).
It closed in the top half of its range (buyers easily stepped in).
When you see a Grey Dot, you don't buy yet. You just add the stock to your watchlist.
2. The "Go" Signal (Blue Triangle)
This is your entry trigger! A Blue Triangle appears on the next bar only if it confirms the upward move. This bar must be:
An "up" bar (closed higher than it opened).
It has high volume (showing that buyers and "big money" are now back and pushing the price up with conviction).
How to Use This Indicator
Grey Dot: See this? The setup looks good. Time to watch this stock.
Blue Triangle: See this? This is your entry confirmation. The move is now "on."
Red Line: This is your safety net. The indicator automatically draws your Stop-Loss at the low of the "Grey Dot" bar. This helps you define your risk on the trade right from the start.
Settings
Uptrend MA Period: (Default: 50) This is just the moving average used to make sure the stock is in an uptrend.
Volume/Range Lookback: (Default: 20) This is how many bars the indicator looks back at to decide what "average" volume or "average" range is.
That's it! I hope this tool helps you find great setups. As always, this isn't a magic crystal ball. It's a tool to help you react to the market. Test it out, and happy trading!
Realtime Squeeze Box [CHE] Realtime Squeeze Box — Detects lowvolatility consolidation periods and draws trimmed price range boxes in realtime to highlight potential breakout setups without clutter from outliers.
Summary
This indicator identifies "squeeze" phases where recent price volatility falls below a dynamic baseline threshold, signaling potential energy buildup for directional moves. By requiring a minimum number of consecutive bars in squeeze, it reduces noise from fleeting dips, making signals more reliable than simple threshold crosses. The core innovation is realtime box visualization: during active squeezes, it builds and updates a box capturing the price range while ignoring extreme values via quantile trimming, providing a cleaner view of consolidation bounds. This differs from static volatility bands by focusing on trimmed ranges and suppressing overlapping boxes, which helps traders spot genuine setups amid choppy markets. Overall, it aids in anticipating breakouts by combining volatility filtering with visual containment of price action.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face whipsaws during brief volatility lulls that mimic true consolidations, leading to premature entries, or miss setups because standard volatility measures lag in adapting to changing market regimes. This design addresses that by using a hold requirement on consecutive lowvolatility bars to denoise signals, ensuring only sustained squeezes trigger visuals. The core idea—comparing rolling standard deviation to a smoothed baseline—creates a responsive yet stable filter for lowenergy periods, while the trimmed box approach isolates the core price cluster, making it easier to gauge breakout potential without distortion from spikes.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Traditional squeeze indicators like the Bollinger Band Squeeze or TTM Squeeze rely on fixed multiples of bands or momentum oscillators crossing zero, which can fire on isolated bars or ignore range compression nuances.
Architecture differences:
Realtime box construction that updates barbybar during squeezes, using arrays to track and trim price values.
Quantilebased outlier rejection to define box bounds, focusing on the bulk of prices rather than full range.
Overlap suppression logic that skips redundant boxes if the new range intersects heavily with the prior one.
Hold counter for consecutive bar validation, adding persistence before signaling.
Practical effect: Charts show fewer, more defined orange boxes encapsulating tight price action, with a horizontal line extension marking the midpoint postsqueeze—visibly reducing clutter in sideways markets and highlighting "coiled" ranges that standard plots might blur with full highs/lows. This matters for quicker visual scanning of multitimeframe setups, as boxes selflimit to recent history and avoid piling up.
How it works (technical)
The indicator starts by computing a rolling average and standard deviation over a userdefined length on the chosen source price series. This deviation measure is then smoothed into a baseline using either a simple or exponential average over a longer window, serving as a reference for normal volatility. A squeeze triggers when the current deviation dips below this baseline scaled by a multiplier less than one, but only after a minimum number of consecutive bars confirm it, which resets the counter on breaks.
Upon squeeze start, it clears a buffer and begins collecting source prices barbybar, limited to the first few bars to keep computation light. For visualization, if enabled, it sorts the buffer and finds a quantile threshold, then identifies the minimum value at or below that threshold to set upper and lower box bounds—effectively clamping the range to exclude tails above the quantile. The box draws from the start bar to the current one, updating its right edge and levels dynamically; if the new bounds overlap significantly with the last completed box, it suppresses drawing to avoid redundancy.
Once the hold limit or squeeze ends, the box freezes: its final bounds become the last reference, a midpoint line extends rightward from the end, and a tiny circle label marks the point. Buffers and states reset on new squeezes, with historical boxes and lines capped to prevent overload. All logic runs on every bar but uses confirmed historical data for calculations, with realtime updates only affecting the active box's position—no future peeking occurs. Initialization seeds with null values, building states progressively from the first bars.
Parameter Guide
Source: Selects the price series (e.g., close, hl2) for deviation and box building; influences sensitivity to wicks or bodies. Default: close. Tradeoffs/Tips: Use hl2 for balanced range view in volatile assets; stick to close for pure directional focus—test on your timeframe to avoid oversmoothing trends.
Length (Mean/SD): Sets window for average and deviation calculation; shorter values make detection quicker but noisier. Default: 20. Tradeoffs/Tips: Increase to 30+ for stability in higher timeframes, reducing false starts; below 10 risks overreacting to singlebar noise.
Baseline Length: Defines smoothing window for the deviation baseline; longer periods create a steadier reference, filtering regime shifts. Default: 50. Tradeoffs/Tips: Pair with Length at 1:2 ratio for calm markets; shorten to 30 if baselines lag during fast volatility drops, but watch for added whips.
Squeeze Multiplier (<1.0): Scales the baseline downward to set the squeeze threshold; lower values tighten criteria for rarer, stronger signals. Default: 0.8. Tradeoffs/Tips: Tighten to 0.6 for highvol assets like crypto to cut noise; loosen to 0.9 in forex for more frequent but shallower setups—balances hit rate vs. depth.
Baseline via EMA (instead of SMA): Switches baseline smoothing to exponential for faster adaptation to recent changes vs. equalweighted simple average. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Enable in trending markets for quicker baseline drops; disable for uniform history weighting in rangebound conditions to avoid overreacting.
SD: Sample (len1) instead of Population (len): Adjusts deviation formula to divide by length minus one for smallsample bias correction, slightly inflating values. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Use sample in short windows (<20) for more conservative thresholds; population suits long looks where bias is negligible, keeping signals tighter.
Min. Hold Bars in Squeeze: Requires this many consecutive squeeze bars before confirming; higher denoise but may clip early setups. Default: 1. Tradeoffs/Tips: Bump to 35 for intraday to filter ticks; keep at 1 for swings where quick consolidations matter—trades off timeliness for reliability.
Debug: Plot SD & Threshold: Toggles lines showing raw deviation and threshold for visual backtesting of squeeze logic. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Enable during tuning to eyeball crossovers; disable live to declutter—great for verifying multiplier impact without alerts.
Tint Bars when Squeeze Active: Overlays semitransparent color on bars during open box phases for quick squeeze spotting. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Pair with low opacity for subtlety; turn off if using boxes alone, as tint can obscure candlesticks in dense charts.
Tint Opacity (0..100): Controls background tint strength during active squeezes; higher values darken for emphasis. Default: 85. Tradeoffs/Tips: Dial to 60 for light touch; max at 100 risks hiding price action—adjust per chart theme for visibility.
Stored Price (during Squeeze): Price series captured in the buffer for box bounds; defaults to source but allows customization. Default: close. Tradeoffs/Tips: Switch to high/low for wider boxes in gappy markets; keep close for midline focus—impacts trim effectiveness on outliers.
Quantile q (0..1): Fraction of sorted prices below which tails are cut; higher q keeps more data but risks including spikes. Default: 0.718. Tradeoffs/Tips: Lower to 0.5 for aggressive trim in noisy assets; raise to 0.8 for fuller ranges—tune via debug to match your consolidation depth.
Box Fill Color: Sets interior shade of squeeze boxes; semitransparent for layering. Default: orange (80% trans.). Tradeoffs/Tips: Soften with more transparency in multiindicator setups; bold for standalone use—ensures boxes pop without overwhelming.
Box Border Color: Defines outline hue and solidity for box edges. Default: orange (0% trans.). Tradeoffs/Tips: Match fill for cohesion or contrast for edges; thin width keeps it clean—helps delineate bounds in zoomed views.
Keep Last N Boxes: Limits historical boxes/lines/labels to this count, deleting oldest for performance. Default: 10. Tradeoffs/Tips: Increase to 50 for weekly reviews; set to 0 for unlimited (risks lag)—balances history vs. speed on long charts.
Draw Box in Realtime (build/update): Enables live extension of boxes during squeezes vs. waiting for end. Default: true. Tradeoffs/Tips: Disable for confirmedonly views to mimic backtests; enable for proactive trading—adds minor repaint on live bars.
Box: Max First N Bars: Caps buffer collection to initial squeeze bars, freezing after for efficiency. Default: 15. Tradeoffs/Tips: Shorten to 510 for fast intraday; extend to 20 in dailies—prevents bloated arrays but may truncate long squeezes.
Reading & Interpretation
Squeeze phases appear as orange boxes encapsulating the trimmed price cluster during lowvolatility holds—narrow boxes signal tight consolidations, while wider ones indicate looser ranges within the threshold. The box's top and bottom represent the quantilecapped high and low of collected prices, with the interior fill shading the containment zone; ignore extremes outside for "true" bounds. Postsqueeze, a solid horizontal line extends right from the box's midpoint, acting as a reference level for potential breakout tests—drifting prices toward or away from it can hint at building momentum. Tiny orange circles at the line's start mark completion points for easy scanning. Debug lines (if on) show deviation hugging or crossing the threshold, confirming hold logic; a persistent hug below suggests prolonged calm, while spikes above reset counters.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Enter long on squeezeend close above the box top (or midpoint line) confirmed by higher high in structure; filter with rising 50period average to avoid countertrend traps. Use boxes as support/resistance proxies—short below bottom in downtrends.
Exits/Stops: Trail stops to the box midpoint during postsqueeze runs for conservative holds; go aggressive by exiting on retest of opposite box side. If debug shows repeated threshold grazes, tighten stops to curb drawdowns in ranging followups.
Multiasset/MultiTF: Defaults work across stocks, forex, and crypto on 15min+ frames; scale Length proportionally (e.g., x2 on hourly). Layer with highertimeframe boxes for confluence—e.g., daily squeeze + 1H box for entry timing. (Unknown/Optional: Specific multiTF scaling recipes beyond proportional adjustment.)
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Core calculations use historical closes, confirming on bar close; active boxes repaint their right edge and levels live during squeezes if enabled, but freeze irrevocably on hold limit or end—mitigates via barbybar buffer adds without future leaks. No lookahead indexes.
security()/HTF: None used, so no external timeframe repaints; all native to chart resolution.
Resources: Caps at 300 boxes/lines/labels total; small arrays (up to 20 elements) and short loops in sorting/minfinding keep it light—suitable for 10k+ bar charts without throttling. Persistent variables track state across bars efficiently.
Known limits: May lag on ultrasharp volatility spikes due to baseline smoothing; gaps or thin markets can skew trims if buffer hits cap early; overlaps suppress visuals but might hide chained squeezes—(Unknown/Optional: Edge cases in nonstandard sessions).
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with defaults for most liquid assets on 1Hdaily: Length 20, Multiplier 0.8, Hold 1, Quantile 0.718—yields balanced detection without excess noise. For too many false starts (choppy charts), increase Hold to 3 and Baseline Length to 70 for stricter confirmation, reducing signals by 3050%. If squeezes feel sluggish or miss quick coils, shorten Length to 14 and enable EMA baseline for snappier adaptation, but monitor for added flips. In highvol environments like options, tighten Multiplier to 0.6 and Quantile to 0.6 to focus on core ranges; reverse for calm pairs by loosening to 0.95. Always backtest tweaks on your asset's history.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a volatilityfiltered visualization tool for spotting and bounding consolidation phases, best as a signal layer atop price action and trend filters—not a standalone predictor of direction or strength. It highlights setups but ignores volume, momentum, or news context, so pair with discreteness rules like higher highs/lows. Never use it alone for entries; always layer risk management, such as 12% stops beyond box extremes, and position sizing based on account drawdown tolerance.

Sigma Trinity ModelAbstract
Sigma Trinity Model is an educational framework that studies how three layers of market behavior interact within the same trend: (1) structural momentum (Rasta), (2) internal strength (RSI), and (3) continuation/compounding structure (Pyramid). The model deliberately combines bar-close momentum logic with intrabar, wick-aware strength checks to help users see how reversals form, confirm, and extend. It is not a signal service or automation tool; it is a transparent learning instrument for chart study and backtesting.
Why this is not “just a mashup”
Many scripts merge indicators without explaining the purpose. Sigma Trinity is a coordinated, three-engine study designed for a specific learning goal:
Rasta (structure): defines when momentum actually flips using a dual-line EMA vs smoothed EMA. It gives the entry/exit framework on bar close for clean historical study.
RSI (energy): measures internal strength with wick-aware triggers. It uses RSI of LOW (for bottom touches/reclaims) and RSI of HIGH (for top touches/exhaustion) so users can see intrabar strength/weakness that the close can hide.
Pyramid (progression): demonstrates how continuation behaves once momentum and strength align. It shows the logic of adds (compounding) as a didactic layer, also on bar close to keep historical alignment consistent.
These three roles are complementary, not redundant: structure → strength → progression.
Architecture Overview
Execution model
Rasta & Pyramid: bar close only by default (historically stable, easy to audit).
RSI: per tick (realtime) with bar-close backup by default, using RSI of LOW for entries and RSI of HIGH for exits. This makes the module sensitive to intra-bar wicks while still giving a close-based safety net for backtests.
Stops (optional in strategy builds): wick-accurate: trail arms/ratchets on HIGH; stop hit checks with LOW (or Close if selected) with a small undershoot buffer to avoid micro-noise hits.
Visual model
Dual lines (EMA vs smoothed EMA) for Rasta + color fog to see direction and compression/expansion.
Rungs (small vertical lines) drawn between the two Rasta lines to visualize wave spacing and rhythm.
Clean labels for Entry/Exit/Pyramid Add/RSI events. Everything is state-locked to avoid spamming.
Module 1 — Rasta (Structural Momentum Layer)
Goal: Identify structural momentum reversals and maintain a consistent, replayable backbone for study.
Method:
Compute an EMA of a chosen price source (default Close), and a smoothed version (SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA/None selectable).
Flip points occur when the EMA line crosses the smoothed line.
Optional EMA 8/21 trend filter can gate entries (long-bias when EMA8 > EMA21). A small “adaptive on flip” option lets an entry fire when the filter itself flips to ON and the EMA is already above the smoothed line—useful for trend resumption.
Why bar close only?
Bar-close Rasta gives a stable, auditable timeline for the structure of the trend. It teaches users to separate “structure” (close-resolved) from “energy” (intrabar, via RSI).
Visuals:
Fog between the lines (green/red) to show regime.
Rungs between lines to show spread (compression vs expansion).
Optional plotting of EMA8/EMA21 so users can see the gating effect.
Module 2 — RSI (Internal Strength / Energy Layer)
Goal: Reveal the intrabar strength/weakness that often precedes or confirms structural flips.
Method:
Standard RSI with adjustable length and signal smoothing for the panel view.
Logic uses wick-aware sources:
Entry trigger: RSI of LOW (same RSI length) touching or below a lower band (default 15). Think of it as intraband reactivation from the bottom, using the candle’s deepest excursion.
Exit trigger: RSI of HIGH touching or above an upper band (default 85). Think of it as exhaustion at the top, using the candle’s highest excursion.
Realtime + Close Backup: fires intrabar on tick, but if the realtime event was missed, the close backup will note it at bar end.
Cooldown control: optional bars-between-signals to avoid rapid re-triggers on choppy sequences.
Why wick-aware RSI?
A close-only RSI can miss the true micro-extremes that cause reversals. Using LOW/HIGH for triggers captures the behavior that traders actually react to during the bar, while the bar-close backup preserves historical reproducibility.
Module 3 — Pyramid (Continuation / Compounding Layer)
Goal: Teach how continuation behaves once a trend is underway, and how adds can be structured.
Method:
Same dual-line logic as Rasta (EMA vs smoothed EMA), but only fires when already in a position (or after prior entry conditions).
Supports the same EMA 8/21 filter and optional adaptive-on-flip behavior.
Bar close only to maintain historical cohesion.
What it teaches:
Adds tend to cluster when momentum persists.
Students can experiment with add spacing and compare “one-shot entries” vs “laddered adds” during strong regimes.
How the Pieces Work Together
Rasta establishes the structural frame (when the wave flip is real enough to record at close).
RSI validates or challenges that structure by tracking intrabar energy at the extremes (low/high touches).
Pyramid shows what sustained continuation looks like once (1) and (2) align.
This produces a layered view: Structure → Energy → Progression. Users can see when all three line up (strongest phases) and when they diverge (riskier phases or transitions).
How to Use It (Step-by-Step)
Quick Start
Apply script to any symbol/timeframe.
In Strategy/Indicator Properties:
Enable On every tick (recommended).
If available, enable Using bar magnifier and choose a lower resolution (e.g., 1m) to simulate intrabar fills more realistically.
Keep On bar close unchecked if you want to observe realtime logic in live charts (strategies still place orders on close by platform design).
Default behavior: Rasta & Pyramid = bar close; RSI = per tick with close backup.
Reading the Chart
Watch for Rasta Entry/Exit labels: they define clean structural turns on close.
Watch RSI Entry (LOW touch at/below lower band) and RSI Exit (HIGH touch at/above upper band) to gauge internal energy extremes.
Pyramid Add labels reveal continuation phases once a move is already in progress.
Tuning
Rasta smoothing: choose SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA or None. Higher smoothing → later but cleaner flips; lower smoothing → earlier but choppier.
RSI bands: a common educational setting is 15/85 for strong extremes; 20/80 is a bit looser.
Cooldown: increase if you see too many RSI re-fires in chop.
EMA 8/21 filter: toggle ON to study “trend-gated” entries, OFF to study raw momentum flips.
Backtesting Notes (for Strategy Builds)
Stops (optional): trail is armed when price advances by a trigger (default D–F₀), ratchets only upward from HIGH, and hits from LOW (or Close if chosen) with a tiny undershoot buffer to avoid micro-wicks.
Order sequencing per bar (mirrors the script’s code comments):
Trail ratchet via HIGH
Intrabar stop hit via LOW/CLOSE → immediate close
If still in position at bar close: process exits (Rasta/RSI)
If still in position at bar close: process Pyramid Add
If flat at bar close: process entries (Rasta/RSI)
Platform reality: strategies place orders at bar close in historical testing; the intrabar logic improves realism for stops and event marking but final order timestamps are still close-resolved.
Inputs Reference (common)
Modules: enable/disable RSI and Pyramid learning layers.
Rasta: EMA length, smoothing type/length, EMA8/21 filter & adaptive flip, fog opacity, rungs on/off & limit.
RSI: RSI length, signal MA length (panel), Entry band (LOW), Exit band (HIGH), cooldown bars, labels.
Pyramid: EMA length, smoothing, EMA8/21 filter & adaptive adds.
Execution: toggle Bar Close Only for Rasta/Pyramid; toggle Realtime + Close Backup for RSI.
Stops (strategy): Fixed Stop % (first), Fixed Stop % (add), Trail Distance %, Trigger rule (auto D–F₀ or custom), undershoot buffer %, and hit source (LOW/CLOSE).
What to Study With It
Convergence: how often RSI-LOW entry touches precede the next Rasta flip.
Divergence: cases where RSI screams exhaustion (HIGH >= upper band) but Rasta hasn’t flipped yet—often transition zones.
Continuation: how Pyramid adds cluster in strong moves; how spacing changes with smoothing/filter choices.
Regime changes: use EMA8/21 filter toggles to see what happens at macro turns vs chop.
Limitations & Scope
This is a learning tool, not a trade copier. It does not provide financial advice or automated execution.
Intrabar results depend on data granularity; bar magnifier (when available) can help simulate lower-resolution ticks, but true tick-by-tick fills are a platform-level feature and not guaranteed across all symbols.
Suggested Publication Settings (Strategy)
Initial capital: 100
Order size: 100 USD (cash)
Pyramiding: 10
Commission: 0.25%
Slippage: 3 ticks
Recalculate: ✓ On every tick
Fill orders: ✓ Using bar magnifier (choose 1m or similar); leave On bar close unchecked for live viewing.

Period Range AnalyzerThis indicator analyzes a specific periodic range, which can start from a fixed date or a defined lookback period. It draws percentage levels and colored zones between the highest and lowest price. It also displays a detailed information table, which shows the price's position within the range in "Trend" mode, and the relative strength of currency pairs in "Forex" mode. The current price position is also indicated by a label with a percentage value and the name of the corresponding zone.
User Guide
Calculation Method
This setting determines how the indicator defines the range used for the calculation.
Lookback Period: In this mode, the indicator uses the last N candles (the number can be specified in the "Lookback Period (bars)" field). The range (the highest and lowest price) is "floating," meaning it is recalculated with each new candle based on the last N candles.
Date Based: In this mode, the calculation starts from a fixed date and time you select. The indicator finds the opening price of the start date and continuously tracks the highest and lowest price from that point on. This mode is ideal for measuring performance from a specific event (e.g., start of a week/month/year, news).
Data Handling Note: If you select a date in "Date Based" mode for which no data is available on the current timeframe (e.g., switching to a very low timeframe), the indicator will automatically use the earliest available candle as the starting point. All calculations (Open, Max, Min, Range, Percentage, Change, Trend) are based on this actual start date.
Start Date & Time
This setting is only active in "Date Based" mode.
Here you can specify the fixed starting point for the calculation.
The specified time is in the Exchange timezone.
Important limitation: Due to TradingView platform limits, visual elements (levels, zones) are only drawn for a maximum of 250 candles back. If the set date is older than this, the calculation still applies to the entire period (from the set date), but the drawing only covers the last 250 candles. The table always displays accurate data for the entire period.
When switching to a higher timeframe, the range may restart from a slightly later bar due to TradingView's bar alignment. For best accuracy, set your timeframe first, then select the start date.
Table Mode
This setting controls what data the information table displays.
Trend: This is the default mode, which works on any symbol (stock, index, crypto, etc.). It displays information related to the trend and the range.
Forex: This is a special mode used to measure the strength of currency and crypto pairs. It only works on symbols with exactly 6 characters (e.g., "EURUSD", "BTCUSD"). It treats the first 3 characters as the base currency (e.g., EUR) and the last 3 as the quote currency (e.g., USD). If the symbol does not have 6 characters, the table will automatically display in "Trend" mode.
Trend
This trend determination operates based on the formation order of the high and low within the analyzed range:
Its switch is located in the “Table Additional Rows” menu.
Bullish: Indicated if the low was formed before the high (on different candles). Or if they formed on the same candle, it was a bullish candle.
Bearish: Indicated if the high was formed before the low (on different candles). Or if they formed on the same candle, it was a bearish candle.
Neutral: Indicated if the high and low formed on the same candle, and it was a "doji" candle (close = open).
Upper & Lower Threshold
These settings (Upper Threshold (%) and Lower Threshold (%) in the "Label Coloring" section) primarily determine the state (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral) of the top row of the table.
The logic is not based on the percentage change of the price movement, but on the current price's position within the range, where the bottom of the range is 0% and the top is 100%.
Upper Threshold (%): The percentage level (e.g., 60.0) above which the indicator considers the price position "Bullish" (or "Strong").
Lower Threshold (%): The percentage level (e.g., 40.0) below which the indicator considers the price position "Bearish" (or "Weak").
If the price is between the two (e.g., between 40% and 60%), the signal is Neutral.
Secondary function: These thresholds also control the color of the label next to the price, provided the "Dynamic Label Coloring" option is enabled.
WM & HS Radar (Block-Free)The W/M + H&S Radar automatically scans for double-top/double-bottom (M and W) and head-and-shoulders style reversal structures across any timeframe.
How it works:
Detects repeating pivot formations that resemble W (double bottom) or M (double top) structures.
Draws neckline levels for each pattern and highlights potential breakout points.
Confirms breakout validity when price closes beyond the neckline (optionally requiring a 1.2× volume surge).
Generates alerts when a valid W Long or M Short trigger occurs.
Best used on: 15m, 1h, or 4h charts to identify medium-term reversal entries.
Recommended companion: Orion Daily HL + Volume indicator for higher-timeframe context.
Alert Options:
“W Long Trigger” → Bullish reversal breakout.
“M Short Trigger” → Bearish reversal breakout.
Usage Tip:
Combine with your support/resistance zones and ATR-based stop sizing from your Money Momentum Tracker to validate A-setups only.
Smart Flow Tracker [The_lurker]
Smart Flow Tracker (SFT): Advanced Order Flow Tracking Indicator
Overview
Smart Flow Tracker (SFT) is an advanced indicator designed for real-time tracking and analysis of order flows. It focuses on detecting institutional patterns, massive orders, and potential reversals through analysis of lower timeframes (Lower Timeframe) or live ticks. It provides deep insights into market behavior using a multi-layered intelligent detection system and a clear visual interface, giving traders a competitive edge.
SFT focuses on trade volumes, directions, and frequencies to uncover unusual activity that may indicate institutional intervention, massive orders, or manipulation attempts (traps).
Indicator Operation Levels
SFT operates on three main levels:
1. Microscopic Monitoring: Tracks every trade at precise timeframes (down to one second), providing visibility not available in standard timeframes.
2. Advanced Statistical Analysis: Calculates averages, deviations, patterns, and anomalies using precise mathematical algorithms.
3. Behavioral Artificial Intelligence: Recognizes behavioral patterns such as hidden institutional accumulation, manipulation attempts and traps, and potential reversal points.
Key Features
SFT features a set of advanced functions to enhance the trader's experience:
1. Intelligent Order Classification System: Classifies orders into six categories based on size and pattern:
- Standard: Normal orders with typical size.
- Significant 💎: Orders larger than average by 1.5 times.
- Major 🔥: Orders larger than average by 2.5 times.
- Massive 🐋: Orders larger than average by 3 times.
- Institutional 🏛️: Consistent patterns indicating institutional activity.
- Reversal 🔄: Large orders indicating direction change.
- Trap ⚠️: Patterns that may be price traps.
2. Institutional Patterns Detection: Tracks sequences of similar-sized orders, detects organized institutional activity, and is customizable (number of trades, variance ratio).
3. Reversals Detection: Compares recent flows with previous ones, detects direction shifts from up to down or vice versa, and operates only on large orders (Major/Massive/Institutional).
4. Traps Detection: Identifies sequences of large orders in one direction, followed by an institutional order in the opposite direction, with early alerts for false moves.
5. Flow Delta Bar: Displays the difference between buy and sell volumes as a percentage for balance, with instant updates per trade.
6. Dynamic Statistics Panel: Displays overall buy and sell ratios with real-time updates and interactive colors.
How It Works and Understanding
SFT relies on logical sequential stages for data processing:
A. Data Collection: Uses the `request.security_lower_tf()` function to extract data from a lower timeframe (like 1S) even on a higher timeframe (like 5D). For each time unit, it calculates:
- Adjusted Volume: Either normal volume or "price-weighted volume" (hlc3 * volume) based on user choice.
- Trade Direction: Compared to previous close (rise → buy, fall → sell).
B. Building Temporary Memory: Maintains a dynamic list (sizeHistory) of the last 100 trade sizes, continuously calculating the moving average (meanSize).
C. Intelligent Classification: Compares each new trade to the average:
- > 1.5 × average → Significant.
- > 2.5 × average → Major.
- > 3.0 × average → Massive.
- Institutional Patterns Check: A certain number of trades (e.g., 5) with a specified variance ratio (±5%) → Institutional.
D. Advanced Detection:
- Reversal: Compares buy/sell totals in two consecutive periods.
- Trap: Sequence of large trades in one direction followed by an opposite institutional trade.
E. Display and Alerts: Results displayed in an automatically updated table, with option to enable alerts for notable events.

Smart Flow Tracker (SFT): مؤشر متقدم لتتبع تدفقات الأوامر
نظرة عامة
Smart Flow Tracker (SFT) مؤشر متقدم مصمم لتتبع وتحليل تدفقات الأوامر في الوقت الفعلي. يركز على كشف الأنماط المؤسسية، الأوامر الضخمة، والانعكاسات المحتملة من خلال تحليل الأطر الزمنية الأقل (Lower Timeframe) أو التيك الحي. يوفر رؤية عميقة لسلوك السوق باستخدام نظام كشف ذكي متعدد الطبقات وواجهة مرئية واضحة، مما يمنح المتداولين ميزة تنافسية.
يركز SFT على حجم الصفقات، اتجاهها، وتكرارها لكشف النشاط غير العادي الذي قد يشير إلى تدخل مؤسسات، أوامر ضخمة، أو محاولات تلاعب (فخاخ).
مستويات عمل المؤشر
يعمل SFT على ثلاثة مستويات رئيسية:
1. المراقبة المجهرية: يتتبع كل صفقة على مستوى الأطر الزمنية الدقيقة (حتى الثانية الواحدة)، مما يوفر رؤية غير متوفرة في الأطر الزمنية العادية.
2. التحليل الإحصائي المتقدم: يحسب المتوسطات، الانحرافات، الأنماط، والشذوذات باستخدام خوارزميات رياضية دقيقة.
3. الذكاء الاصطناعي السلوكي: يتعرف على أنماط سلوكية مثل التراكم المؤسسي المخفي، محاولات التلاعب والفخاخ، ونقاط الانعكاس المحتملة.
الميزات الرئيسية
يتميز SFT بمجموعة من الوظائف المتقدمة لتحسين تجربة المتداول:
1. نظام تصنيف الأوامر الذكي: يصنف الأوامر إلى ست فئات بناءً على الحجم والنمط:
- Standard (قياسي)**: أوامر عادية بحجم طبيعي.
- Significant 💎 (مهم)**: أوامر أكبر من المتوسط بـ1.5 ضعف.
- Major 🔥 (كبير)**: أوامر أكبر من المتوسط بـ2.5 ضعف.
- Massive 🐋 (ضخم)**: أوامر أكبر من المتوسط بـ3 أضعاف.
- Institutional 🏛️ (مؤسسي)**: أنماط متسقة تشير إلى نشاط مؤسسي.
- Reversal 🔄 (انعكاس)**: أوامر كبيرة تشير إلى تغيير اتجاه.
- Trap ⚠️ (فخ)**: أنماط قد تكون فخاخًا سعرية.
2. كشف الأنماط المؤسسية: يتتبع تسلسل الأوامر المتشابهة في الحجم، يكشف النشاط المؤسسي المنظم، وقابل للتخصيص (عدد الصفقات، نسبة التباين).
3. كشف الانعكاسات: يقارن التدفقات الأخيرة بالسابقة، يكشف تحول الاتجاه من صعود إلى هبوط أو العكس، ويعمل فقط على الأوامر الكبيرة (Major/Massive/Institutional).
4. كشف الفخاخ: يحدد تسلسل أوامر كبيرة في اتجاه واحد، يليها أمر مؤسسي في الاتجاه المعاكس، مع تنبيه مبكر للحركات الكاذبة.
5. شريط دلتا التدفق: يعرض الفرق بين حجم الشراء والبيع كنسبة مئوية للتوازن، مع تحديث فوري لكل صفقة.
6. لوحة إحصائيات ديناميكية: تعرض نسبة الشراء والبيع الإجمالية مع تحديث لحظي وألوان تفاعلية.
طريقة العمل والفهم
يعتمد SFT على مراحل منطقية متسلسلة لمعالجة البيانات:
أ. جمع البيانات: يستخدم دالة `request.security_lower_tf()` لاستخراج بيانات من إطار زمني أدنى (مثل 1S) حتى على إطار زمني أعلى (مثل 5D). لكل وحدة زمنية، يحسب:
- الحجم المعدّل: إما الحجم العادي (volume) أو "الحجم المرجّح بالسعر" (hlc3 * volume) حسب الاختيار.
- اتجاه الصفقة: مقارنة الإغلاق الحالي بالسابق (ارتفاع → شراء، انخفاض → بيع).
ب. بناء الذاكرة المؤقتة: يحتفظ بقائمة ديناميكية (sizeHistory) لآخر 100 حجم صفقة، ويحسب المتوسط المتحرك (meanSize) باستمرار.
ج. التصنيف الذكي: يقارن كل صفقة جديدة بالمتوسط:
- > 1.5 × المتوسط → Significant.
- > 2.5 × المتوسط → Major.
- > 3.0 × المتوسط → Massive.
- فحص الأنماط المؤسسية: عدد معين من الصفقات (مثل 5) بنسبة تباين محددة (±5%) → Institutional.
د. الكشف المتقدم:
- الانعكاس: مقارنة مجموع الشراء/البيع في فترتين متتاليتين.
- الفخ: تسلسل صفقات كبيرة في اتجاه واحد يتبعها صفقة مؤسسية معاكسة.
هـ. العرض والتنبيه: عرض النتائج في جدول محدّث تلقائيًا، مع إمكانية تفعيل تنبيهات للأحداث المميزة.

Island Reversal [LuxAlgo]The Island Reversal tool allows traders to identify reversal patterns directly on the chart. These patterns signal a potential change in trend, either from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
The tool enables traders to filter these patterns by trend, volume, and range, making it easy to display pure or less constrained island reversals.
🔶 USAGE
An island reversal pattern may indicate a change in trend. It occurs when prices change direction from an uptrend to a downtrend, or vice versa.
This pattern is a great tool for timing the market. Traders should be aware of when these patterns develop and watch how prices behave after the pattern forms.
Now, let's take a closer look at one of these island reversal patterns to highlight its different components.
The different parts are depicted in the image above.
1. A trend prior to the pattern
2. A gap starts the pattern.
3. A range of prices
4. A final gap, opposite to the first one, closes the pattern.
5. In this case, the pattern leads to a bearish trend, which is opposite to the trend in the first step.
🔹 Trend, Volume and Range Filters
Enabling the trend filter causes the tool to only detect top island reversals during a bullish trend and bottom island reversals during a bearish trend.
Traders can adjust the size of the detected trend in the settings panel. The larger the trend size, the more relevant the reversal patterns can be.
The volume filter only detects reversal patterns if there is more volume within the range of the pattern than in the preceding trend.
The idea is that more people tend to participate at the top and bottom of a trend as it changes direction.
The tool has two range filters that discriminate the range within the island reversal pattern:
Horizontality Filter (R2): Based on the R-squared statistic from linear regression, it detects whether the price is moving sideways within the range.
Volatility Filter: Based on long-term volatility, it detects the size of the range within the pattern.
The smaller the value in the Horizontality Filter, the more horizontal the prices will be within the range. A larger value will detect more reversal patterns.
The larger the value in the Volatility Filter, the larger the ranges will be. A smaller value will detect fewer reversal patterns.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Trend Filter
Trend Filter: Enable or disable the trend filter.
Trend Length: Select the size of the detected trend.
🔹 Volume Filter
Volume Filter: Enable or disable the volume filter.
🔹 Range Filter
Horizontality Filter (R2): Enable or disable the Horizontality filter and select a threshold value.

Crypto Breadth Engine [alex975]
A normalized crypto market breadth indicator with a customizable 40 coin input panel — revealing whether rallies are broad and healthy across major coins and altcoins or led by only a few.
📊 Overview
The Crypto Breadth Engine measures the real participation strength of the crypto market by analyzing the direction of the 40 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
⚙️ How It Works
Unlike standard breadth tools that only count assets above a moving average, this indicator measures actual price direction:
+1 if a coin closes higher, –1 if lower, 0 if unchanged.
The total forms a Breadth Line, statistically normalized using standard deviation to maintain consistent readings across timeframes and volatility conditions.
🧩 Dynamic Input Mask
All 40 cryptocurrencies are fully editable via the input panel, allowing users to easily replace or customize the basket (Top 40, Layer-1s, DeFi, Meme Coins, AI Tokens, etc.) without touching the code.
This flexibility keeps the indicator aligned with the evolving crypto market.
🧭 Trend Bias
The indicator classifies market structure as Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish, based on how the Breadth Line aligns with its moving averages (10, 20, 50).
💡 Dashboard
A compact on-chart table displays in real time:
• Positive and negative coins
• Participation percentage
• Current trend bias
🔍 Interpretation
• Rising breadth → broad, healthy market expansion
• Falling breadth → narrowing participation and structural weakness
Ideal for TOTAL, TOTAL3, or custom crypto baskets on 1D,1W.
Developed by alex975 – Version 1.0 (2025).

Aibuyzone Elliott Wave SuiteOverview
This study approximates Elliott-style wave structure using swing pivots. It labels primary waves (1–5), tracks subwaves (1–5) inside them, and plots future projection bands derived from the size of a recent primary leg. A small floating dashboard summarizes the current wave number, bias (bullish/bearish) based on the last leg, and a projection price range.
Note: This tool is educational. Wave detection is algorithmic and approximate; it does not identify textbook Elliott patterns or validate rule sets. Manage risk independently.
What it draws
Primary wave labels (1–5): Based on higher swing length pivots (major turns).
Subwave labels (1–5): Based on shorter swing length pivots (minor turns).
Zigzag connectors: Simple lines between the latest primary pivots for structure visualization.
Projection bands: Three dotted horizontal levels forward from the last primary pivot, using user-defined extension multipliers.
Floating dashboard:
Current Wave: Latest primary wave count (1–5).
Bias: “Bullish Leg” (last pivot was a low) or “Bearish Leg” (last pivot was a high), or “Unknown” if insufficient data.
Proj Range: Min–max of the three projection levels.
Key Inputs
Swing Structure
Primary Swing Length: Pivot left/right bars for major swings. Larger values = fewer, cleaner waves.
Subwave Swing Length: Pivot left/right bars for minor swings. Smaller values = more frequent subwave labels.
Max Saved Swing Points: Memory limit to prevent clutter.
Future Projections
Show Projection Levels: Toggle projection lines on/off.
Use Last Nth Leg For Size: Which recent primary leg to use for measuring projection distance (1 = most recent).
Extension 1 / 2 / 3: Multipliers applied to the measured leg (e.g., 1.0, 1.618, 2.0).
Style
Colors and text sizes for primary and subwave labels, and projection lines.
Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Toggle table on/off.
Dashboard Position: Top-Left / Top-Right / Bottom-Left / Bottom-Right.
How projections are computed
The script measures the price distance of a recent primary leg (from pivot A to pivot B).
If the last pivot is a low, projections extend upward; if the last pivot is a high, projections extend downward.
The three extension inputs (e.g., 1.0 / 1.618 / 2.0) are applied to that leg distance to create dotted forward levels.
The dashboard’s Proj Range displays the min–max of those three levels.
Using the study (suggested workflow)
Choose timeframe appropriate for your style (e.g., higher timeframes for cleaner structure; lower timeframes for detail).
Tune swing lengths:
Increase Primary Swing Length on noisy charts to stabilize wave counts.
Adjust Subwave Swing Length to reveal or simplify internal moves.
Read the dashboard:
Current Wave shows where the latest primary count sits (1–5).
Bias summarizes the direction of the last measured leg only; it is not a trend system.
Proj Range offers a coarse price band derived from your extensions.
Context check: Combine wave labeling with your own market context (trend, structure, volatility) before making decisions.
Risk management: Use your own stop/target methods. The projection lines are not signals.
Practical tips
Clutter control: If labels overlap on volatile symbols, try larger swing lengths or reduce label text sizes in Style.
Scaling: On very small tick sizes, increasing the internal label price offset can improve label readability.
Projection sensitivity: Changing Use Last Nth Leg can materially alter levels; confirm they match your intent.
Non-determinism across timeframes: Different timeframes and symbols will produce different pivot sequences and counts.
Limitations & important notes
Approximation: This does not enforce all Elliott rules (e.g., alternation, wave 4 overlap constraints, channeling). It only labels swings numerically.
Repainting of labels: Pivot-based waves confirm after enough bars have printed to the right of a high/low. Labels are placed when pivots confirm; they don’t predict pivots.
Not a signal generator: No entries/exits/alerts are included; add your own trade plan and risk controls.
Data sufficiency: Early bars or sparse data may show “Unknown” bias or “N/A” projections until adequate pivots exist.
Clean-chart publishing guidance (to stay compliant)
Use a chart that clearly shows this script’s outputs without unrelated indicators.
Keep the description educational. Avoid performance claims, guarantees, or language implying certainty.
Do not include links, promotions, prices, giveaways, contact details, or solicitations.
Disclose that labels and projections are algorithmic approximations and for educational use.
Risk disclosure
This script is for educational purposes only. It does not provide financial, investment, or trading advice and does not guarantee outcomes. Markets involve risk, including the potential loss of capital. Always do your own research and use independent judgment.
NY VIX Channel Trend US Futures Day Trade StrategyNY VIX Channel Trend Strategy
Summary in one paragraph
Session anchored intraday strategy for index futures such as ES and NQ on one to fifteen minute charts. It acts only after the first configurable window of New York Regular Trading Hours and uses a VIX derived daily implied move to form a realistic channel from the session open. Originality comes from using a pure implied volatility yardstick as portable support and resistance, then committing in the direction of the first window close relative to the open. Add it to a clean chart and trade the simple visuals. For conservative alerts use on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Index futures ES and NQ
• Timeframes. One to thirty minutes
• Default demo. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Provide a portable intraday yardstick for entries and exits without curve fitting
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept. A VIX only channel anchored at 09:30 New York plus a single window trend test
• Addresses. False urgency at session open and unrealistic bands from arbitrary multipliers
• Testability. Every input is visible and the channel is plotted so users can audit behavior
• Portable yardstick. Daily implied move equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two
• Protected status. None. Method and use are fully disclosed
Method overview in plain language
Take the daily VIX or VIX9D value, convert it to a daily fraction by dividing by square root of two hundred fifty two, then anchor a symmetric channel at the New York session open. Observe the first N minutes. If that window closes above the open the bias is long. If it closes below the open the bias is short. One trade per session. Exits occur at the channel boundary or at a bracket based on a user selected VIX factor. Positions are closed a set number of minutes before the session ends.
Base measures
Return basis. The daily implied move unit equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two and serves as the distance unit for targets and stops.
Components
• VIX Channel. Top, mid, bottom lines anchored at 09:30 New York. No extra multipliers
• Window Trend. Close of the first N minutes relative to the session open sets direction
• Risk Bracket. Take profit and stop loss equal to VIX unit times user factor
• Session Window. Uses the exchange time of the chart
Fusion rule
Minimum gates count equals one. The trade only arms after the window has elapsed and a direction exists. One entry per session.
Signal rule
• Long when the window close is above the session open and the window has completed
• Short when the window close is below the session open and the window has completed
• Exit on channel touch. Long exits at the top. Short exits at the bottom
• Flat thirty minutes before the session close or at the user setting
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Use VIX9D. Width source. Typical true for fast tone or false for baseline
• Use daily OPEN. Toggle for sensitivity to overnight changes
Logic
• Window minutes. Five to one hundred twenty. Larger values delay entries and reduce whipsaw
• VIX factor for TP. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the profit target
• VIX factor for SL. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the stop
• Exit minutes before close. Fifteen to ninety. Raising it exits earlier
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital one hundred thousand USD
• Base currency USD
• request.security uses lookahead off
• Commission cash per contract two point five $ per each contract. Slippage one tick
• Default order size method FIXED with value one contract. Pyramiding zero. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier OFF. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick ON
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategy uses standard candles.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the channel. Very quiet regimes can reduce signal contrast. Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. If both stop and target can be hit within one bar, assume stop first for conservative reading without bar magnifier.
Works best in liquid hours of New York RTH. Very large gaps and surprise news may exceed the implied channel. Always validate on the symbols you trade.
Entries and exits
• Entry logic. After the first window, go long if the window close is above the session open, go short if below
• Exit logic. Long exits at the channel top or at the take profit or stop. Short exits at the channel bottom or at the take profit or stop. Flat before session close by the configured minutes
• Risk model. Initial stop and target based on the VIX unit times user factors. No trail and no break even. No cooldown
• Tie handling. Treat as stop first for conservative interpretation
Position sizing
Fixed size one contract per trade. Target risk per trade should generally remain near one percent of account equity. Risk is based on the daily volatility value, the max loss from the tests for one year duration with 5min chart was 4%, while the avg loss was below <1% of the total capital.

## 🎯 What is a Pinbar?
A **Pinbar (Pin Bar/Pinocchio Bar)** is a single candlestick pattern that indicates a potential price reversal:
### Bullish Pinbar (BUY Signal)
- **Long lower wick** (rejection of lower prices)
- **Small body at the top** of the candle
- Shows buyers rejected sellers' attempt to push price down
- Forms at support levels or swing lows
- Entry signal for LONG positions
### Bearish Pinbar (SELL Signal)
- **Long upper wick** (rejection of higher prices)
- **Small body at the bottom** of the candle
- Shows sellers rejected buyers' attempt to push price up
- Forms at resistance levels or swing highs
- Entry signal for SHORT positions
---
## 🔧 How the Indicator Works
### 1. **Pinbar Detection Logic**
The indicator analyzes the **previous closed bar ** to identify pinbar patterns:
```
Bullish Pinbar Requirements:
- Lower wick > 72% of total candle range (adjustable)
- Upper wick < 28% of total candle range
- Close > Open (bullish candle body)
Bearish Pinbar Requirements:
- Upper wick > 72% of total candle range (adjustable)
- Lower wick < 28% of total candle range
- Close < Open (bearish candle body)
```
**Why check ?** By analyzing the previous completed bar, we ensure the pattern is fully formed and won't change, preventing repainting.
---
### 2. **Three-Layer Filter System**
#### 🔍 **Filter #1: ATR (Average True Range) Filter**
- **Purpose**: Ensures the pinbar has significant size
- **Function**: Only signals if pinbar range ≥ ATR value
- **Benefit**: Filters out small, insignificant pinbars
- **Settings**:
- Enable/Disable toggle
- ATR Period (default: 7)
**Example**: If ATR = 50 pips, only pinbars with 50+ pip range will signal.
---
#### 🔍 **Filter #2: SWING Filter** (Always Active)
- **Purpose**: Confirms pinbar forms at swing highs/lows
- **Function**: Validates the pinbar is an absolute high/low
- **Benefit**: Identifies true reversal points
- **Settings**:
- Swing Candles (default: 3)
**How it works**:
- For bullish pinbar: Checks if low is lowest of past 3 bars
- For bearish pinbar: Checks if high is highest of past 3 bars
**Example**: With 3 swing candles, a bullish pinbar must have the lowest low among the last 3 bars.
---
#### 🔍 **Filter #3: RSI (Relative Strength Index) Filter**
- **Purpose**: Confirms momentum conditions
- **Function**: Prevents signals in extreme momentum zones
- **Benefit**: Avoids counter-trend trades
- **Settings**:
- Enable/Disable toggle
- RSI Period (default: 7)
- RSI Source (Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4)
- Overbought Level (default: 70)
- Oversold Level (default: 30)
**Logic**:
- Bullish Pinbar: Only signals if RSI < 70 (not overbought)
- Bearish Pinbar: Only signals if RSI > 30 (not oversold)
---
### 3. **Stop Loss Calculation**
Two methods available:
#### Method A: ATR-Based Stop Loss (Recommended)
```
Bullish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar Low - (1 × ATR)
Bearish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar High + (1 × ATR)
```
**Benefit**: Dynamic stops that adapt to market volatility
#### Method B: Fixed Pips Stop Loss
```
Bullish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar Low - (Fixed Pips)
Bearish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar High + (Fixed Pips)
```
**Settings**:
- Calculate Stop with ATR (toggle)
- Stop Pips without ATR (default: 5)
---
### 4. **Take Profit Calculation**
Take Profit is calculated based on Risk:Reward ratio:
```
Bullish Trade:
TP = Entry + (Entry - SL) × Risk:Reward Ratio
Bearish Trade:
TP = Entry - (SL - Entry) × Risk:Reward Ratio
```
**Example**:
- Entry: 1.2000
- SL: 1.1950 (50 pip risk)
- RR: 2:1
- TP: 1.2100 (100 pip reward = 50 × 2)
**Settings**:
- Risk:Reward Ratio (default: 1.0, range: 0.1 to 10.0)

## 🚫 Non-Repainting Architecture
### What is Repainting?
**Repainting** occurs when an indicator's historical signals differ from what appeared in real-time. This makes backtesting unreliable and can lead to false confidence in a strategy.
### How This Indicator Prevents Repainting
1. **Closed Bar Analysis**
- All calculations use ` ` offset (previous bar)
- Only analyzes COMPLETED candles
- Signals appear on the bar AFTER the pinbar closes
2. **Confirmed Swing Points**
- Waits for sufficient bar history before signaling
- Only checks historical bars that cannot change
- Prevents premature swing detection
3. **Static Alert Timing**
- Alerts fire only after bar completion
- No conditional logic that changes historically
- Same results in replay mode and live trading
### Verification Method
To verify non-repainting behavior:
1. Apply indicator to chart
2. Note signal locations and prices
3. Refresh browser / reload chart
4. **Signals remain in exact same locations**
---
## 💼 Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Entry Rules
**For Bullish Pinbar (LONG):**
1. Wait for green triangle to appear
2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label)
3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar high
4. Place stop loss at red SL line
5. Set target at green TP line
**For Bearish Pinbar (SHORT):**
1. Wait for red triangle to appear
2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label)
3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar low
4. Place stop loss at red SL line
5. Set target at green TP line
### Risk Management
- **Position Sizing**: Risk only 1-2% of account per trade
- **Stop Loss**: Always use the calculated SL (never move it wider)
- **Take Profit**: Use calculated TP or trail stop after 1:1 RR
- **Multiple Timeframes**: Confirm signals on higher timeframe
### Best Practices
✅ **DO:**
- Wait for bar to close before entering
- Trade in direction of higher timeframe trend
- Use on liquid markets with clear support/resistance
- Combine with price action analysis
- Keep a trading journal
❌ **DON'T:**
- Enter before bar closes (prevents seeing full pattern)
- Trade against strong trends
- Ignore the filters (they improve win rate)
- Risk more than 2% per trade
- Trade every signal (be selective)

## 🎓 Understanding the Filters
### Why Use Multiple Filters?
Single-indicator systems often generate too many false signals. This indicator uses a **confluence approach**:
1. **Pinbar Pattern** = Price rejection detected
2. **+ SWING Filter** = Rejection at key level
3. **+ ATR Filter** = Significant move
4. **+ RSI Filter** = Favorable momentum
**Result**: Higher probability setups with better risk:reward
### Filter Optimization
**Conservative Settings** (Fewer, Higher Quality Signals):
- ATR Filter: ON
- Swing Candles: 5
- RSI Filter: ON
- Shadow %: 75%
**Aggressive Settings** (More Signals, More Noise):
- ATR Filter: OFF
- Swing Candles: 2
- RSI Filter: OFF
- Shadow %: 65%
**Balanced Settings** (Recommended):
- ATR Filter: ON
- Swing Candles: 3
- RSI Filter: OFF (or ON for trending markets)
- Shadow %: 72%
---
## 🔍 Troubleshooting
### "No Signals Appearing"
**Possible Causes:**
1. Filters are too strict
2. No pinbars forming on chart
3. Insufficient bar history
**Solutions:**
- Reduce Shadow % to 65%
- Reduce Swing Candles to 2
- Disable ATR or RSI filters temporarily
- Check that chart has enough data loaded
### "Too Many Signals"
**Solutions:**
- Enable ATR filter
- Increase Swing Candles to 4-5
- Enable RSI filter
- Increase Shadow % to 75-80%
### "Signals Appearing Late"
**This is normal behavior!** The indicator:
- Analyzes previous closed bar
- Signals appear on the bar AFTER the pinbar
- This is what prevents repainting
- Signal latency is 1 bar (by design)

Addikro_V1📌 Description – Trend+Entry+Risk Indicator
This indicator combines statistically proven trading concepts into a complete trading framework:
✅ Trend Filter (EMA200)
All trades follow the higher-timeframe trend. Trend direction is clearly visualized.
✅ Entry Signals (you can choose):
EMA Crossover (EMA50 crossing EMA200) — classic trend-following entry
Breakout of recent highs/lows (20-bar range) — optionally only valid after a pullback to EMA50
✅ ATR-Based Risk Management:
Dynamic Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP1/TP2) levels using ATR
The last entry is saved — SL/TP lines stay visible on the chart
Optional position size suggestion based on % risk of account
✅ Smart Filters for Higher Accuracy:
RSI filter: e.g., only long if RSI > 50
Volume filter: signal only if volume is above SMA × multiplier
✅ Fixed Chart HUD (Table Overlay):
Displays live information anchored to the chart (does not move with candles)
Shows: Trend direction, entry mode, RSI, ATR, SL/TP multiplier, position size suggestion
Position can be set: top-left / top-right / bottom-left / bottom-right
✅ Signals & Alerts:
Visual arrows on the chart for long/short signals
Custom alert conditions included (works with mobile, email, webhook, bots)
🎯 Why this indicator works
It follows the same logic used by many successful systematic and hedge fund strategies:
Trend direction + statistically solid entries + strict risk management → no repainting, no guessing, no emotion.
LibTmFrLibrary "LibTmFr"
This is a utility library for handling timeframes and
multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis in Pine Script. It provides a
collection of functions designed to handle common tasks related
to period detection, session alignment, timeframe construction,
and time calculations, forming a foundation for
MTF indicators.
Key Capabilities:
1. **MTF Period Engine:** The library includes functions for
managing higher-timeframe (HTF) periods.
- **Period Detection (`isNewPeriod`):** Detects the first bar
of a given timeframe. It includes custom logic to handle
multi-month and multi-year intervals where
`timeframe.change()` may not be sufficient.
- **Bar Counting (`sinceNewPeriod`):** Counts the number of
bars that have passed in the current HTF period or
returns the final count for a completed historical period.
2. **Automatic Timeframe Selection:** Offers functions for building
a top-down analysis framework:
- **Automatic HTF (`autoHTF`):** Suggests a higher timeframe
(HTF) for broader context based on the current timeframe.
- **Automatic LTF (`autoLTF`):** Suggests an appropriate lower
timeframe (LTF) for granular intra-bar analysis.
3. **Timeframe Manipulation and Comparison:** Includes tools for
working with timeframe strings:
- **Build & Split (`buildTF`, `splitTF`):** Functions to
programmatically construct valid Pine Script timeframe
strings (e.g., "4H") and parse them back into their
numeric and unit components.
- **Comparison (`isHigherTF`, `isActiveTF`, `isLowerTF`):**
A set of functions to check if a given timeframe is
higher, lower, or the same as the script's active timeframe.
- **Multiple Validation (`isMultipleTF`):** Checks if a
higher timeframe is a practical multiple of the current
timeframe. This is based on the assumption that checking
if recent, completed HTF periods contained more than one
bar is a valid proxy for preventing data gaps.
4. **Timestamp Interpolation:** Contains an `interpTimestamp()`
function that calculates an absolute timestamp by
interpolating at a given percentage across a specified
range of bars (e.g., 50% of the way through the last
20 bars), enabling time calculations at a resolution
finer than the chart's native bars.

buildTF(quantity, unit)
Builds a Pine Script timeframe string from a numeric quantity and a unit enum.
The resulting string can be used with `request.security()` or `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
quantity (int) : series int Number to specifie how many `unit` the timeframe spans.
unit (series TFUnit) : series TFUnit The size category for the bars.
Returns: series string A Pine-style timeframe identifier, e.g.
"5S" → 5-seconds bars
"30" → 30-minute bars
"120" → 2-hour bars
"1D" → daily bars
"3M" → 3-month bars
"24M" → 2-year bars
splitTF(tf)
Splits a Pine‑timeframe identifier into numeric quantity and unit (TFUnit).
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Timeframe string, e.g.
"5S", "30", "120", "1D", "3M", "24M".
Returns:
quantity series int The numeric value of the timeframe (e.g., 15 for "15", 3 for "3M").
unit series TFUnit The unit of the timeframe (e.g., TFUnit.minutes, TFUnit.months).
Notes on strings without a suffix:
• Pure digits are minutes; if divisible by 60, they are treated as hours.
• An "M" suffix is months; if divisible by 12, it is converted to years.
autoHTF(tf)
Picks an appropriate **higher timeframe (HTF)** relative to the selected timeframe.
It steps up along a coarse ladder to produce sensible jumps for top‑down analysis.
Mapping → chosen HTF:
≤ 1 min → 60 (1h) ≈ ×60
≤ 3 min → 180 (3h) ≈ ×60
≤ 5 min → 240 (4h) ≈ ×48
≤ 15 min → D (1 day) ≈ ×26–×32 (regular session 6.5–8 h)
> 15 min → W (1 week) ≈ ×64–×80 for 30m; varies with input
≤ 1 h → W (1 week) ≈ ×32–×40
≤ 4 h → M (1 month) ≈ ×36–×44 (~22 trading days / month)
> 4 h → 3M (3 months) ≈ ×36–×66 (e.g., 12h→×36–×44; 8h→×53–×66)
≤ 1 day → 3M (3 months) ≈ ×60–×66 (~20–22 trading days / month)
> 1 day → 12M (1 year) ≈ ×(252–264)/quantity
≤ 1 week → 12M (1 year) ≈ ×52
> 1 week → 48M (4 years) ≈ ×(208)/quantity
= 1 M → 48M (4 years) ≈ ×48
> 1 M → error ("HTF too big")
any → error ("HTF too big")
Notes:
• Inputs in months or years are restricted: only 1M is allowed; larger months/any years throw.
• Returns a Pine timeframe string usable in `request.security()` and `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe (e.g., "D", "240", or `timeframe.period`).
Returns: series string Suggested higher timeframe.
autoLTF(tf)
Selects an appropriate **lower timeframe LTF)** for intra‑bar evaluation
based on the selected timeframe. The goal is to keep intra‑bar
loops performant while providing enough granularity.
Mapping → chosen LTF:
≤ 1 min → 1S ≈ ×60
≤ 5 min → 5S ≈ ×60
≤ 15 min → 15S ≈ ×60
≤ 30 min → 30S ≈ ×60
> 30 min → 60S (1m) ≈ ×31–×59 (for 31–59 minute charts)
≤ 1 h → 1 (1m) ≈ ×60
≤ 2 h → 2 (2m) ≈ ×60
≤ 4 h → 5 (5m) ≈ ×48
> 4 h → 15 (15m) ≈ ×24–×48 (e.g., 6h→×24, 8h→×32, 12h→×48)
≤ 1 day → 15 (15m) ≈ ×26–×32 (regular sessions ~6.5–8h)
> 1 day → 60 (60m) ≈ ×(26–32) per day × quantity
≤ 1 week → 60 (60m) ≈ ×32–×40 (≈5 sessions of ~6.5–8h)
> 1 week → 240 (4h) ≈ ×(8–10) per week × quantity
≤ 1 M → 240 (4h) ≈ ×33–×44 (~20–22 sessions × 6.5–8h / 4h)
≤ 3 M → D (1d) ≈ ×(20–22) per month × quantity
> 3 M → W (1w) ≈ ×(4–5) per month × quantity
≤ 1 Y → W (1w) ≈ ×52
> 1 Y → M (1M) ≈ ×12 per year × quantity
Notes:
• Ratios for D/W/M are given as ranges because they depend on
**regular session length** (typically ~6.5–8h, not 24h).
• Returned strings can be used with `request.security()` and `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe (e.g., "D", "240", or timeframe.period).
Returns: series string Suggested lower TF to use for intra‑bar work.
isNewPeriod(tf, offset)
Returns `true` when a new session-aligned period begins, or on the Nth bar of that period.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Target higher timeframe (e.g., "D", "W", "M").
offset (simple int) : simple int 0 → checks for the first bar of the new period.
1+ → checks for the N-th bar of the period.
Returns: series bool `true` if the condition is met.
sinceNewPeriod(tf, offset)
Counts how many bars have passed within a higher timeframe (HTF) period.
For daily, weekly, and monthly resolutions, the period is aligned with the trading session.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Target parent timeframe (e.g., "60", "D").
offset (simple int) : simple int 0 → Running count for the current period.
1+ → Finalized count for the Nth most recent *completed* period.
Returns: series int Number of bars.
isHigherTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents a
higher resolution than the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` > active TF; otherwise `false`.
isActiveTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents the
exact resolution of the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` == active TF; otherwise `false`.
isLowerTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents a
lower resolution than the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` < active TF; otherwise `false`.
isMultipleTF(tf)
Returns `true` if the selected timeframe (`tf`) is a practical multiple
of the active skript's timeframe. It verifies this by checking if `tf` is a higher timeframe
that has consistently contained more than one bar of the skript's timeframe in recent periods.
The period detection is session-aware.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string The higher timeframe to check.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` is a practical multiple; otherwise `false`.
interpTimestamp(offStart, offEnd, pct)
Calculates a precise absolute timestamp by interpolating within a bar range based on a percentage.
This version works with RELATIVE bar offsets from the current bar.
Parameters:
offStart (int) : series int The relative offset of the starting bar (e.g., 10 for 10 bars ago).
offEnd (int) : series int The relative offset of the ending bar (e.g., 1 for 1 bar ago). Must be <= offStart.
pct (float) : series float The percentage of the bar range to measure (e.g., 50.5 for 50.5%).
Values are clamped to the range.
Returns: series int The calculated, interpolated absolute Unix timestamp in milliseconds.

Halt-Risk Guard (5-min / 10%) — TTP Safe🛑 Halt-Risk Guard (5-min / 10%) — TTP Safe
Stay clear of halts, invalidations, and over-extended moves.
🔍 Overview
The Halt-Risk Guard helps traders avoid sudden invalidations by monitoring price velocity over the past X minutes (default: 5 min) and flagging when moves exceed a configurable threshold (default: 10%).
Originally built to meet Trade The Pool (TTP) risk-management rules — where even non-halted 10% moves can void trades — this tool provides a clear, visual warning system and optional entry blocker.
⚙️ Key Features
✅ Halt-Risk Detection – Calculates both reference-based and swing-based (high↔low) percentage change over the chosen lookback period.
✅ TTP Safe Mode – “Swing mode” captures extreme volatility spikes that may invalidate trades even when the market stays open.
✅ Entry Blocker (optional) – Automatically greys candles and dims the background during risky conditions to prevent impulsive entries.
✅ Customisable Positioning – Move the on-chart info box to any corner of your chart (Top Left / Top Right / Bottom Left / Bottom Right).
✅ Clean Alerts –
⚠️ At/Above Threshold
✅ Back to Safe
⛔ Entry Blocker Active
✅ Visual Table Display – Compact dashboard shows current % move, lookback window, and threshold with intuitive green/red status.
✅ Strategy-Ready Output – A hidden 0/1 plot lets you block or filter trades in automated systems.
⚡ How It Works
Monitors the selected symbol using your chosen computation timeframe (recommended 1-minute).
Evaluates either:
REF mode: Close-to-close change over the lookback window.
SWING mode: High-to-low range within the same window.
If the move ≥ Threshold %, the script highlights a halt-risk condition and optionally activates the entry blocker.
🎨 Recommended Settings
Lookback: 5 minutes
Threshold: 10 %
Swing mode: ON (TTP-safe)
Computation timeframe: 1 minute
Entry blocker: ON
Dim background: ON
🧠 Use Cases
TTP and other prop-firm evaluations enforcing price-movement limits.
Volatility-based scalping systems to avoid chasing extended candles.
Strategy filters for algorithmic entries (e.g. pause trading during halt-risk windows).
⚠️ Disclaimer
This tool provides visual and alert-based guidance only. It does not guarantee compliance with any specific firm’s rules or eliminate trading risk. Always verify thresholds and rules with your broker or evaluation provider.
