How It Works
🧠 This indicator is built to make complex options flow analysis simple even with the constraints of Pine Script. Here’s the step by step:
Simulated Volume Data (Dynamic Split):
Pulls daily volume for ur chosen futures contract (MNQ1! MES1! NQ1! ES1!)
Splits it into call and put volume based on momentum (ta.mom) and volatility (ATR vs its 20 period average)
Estimates open interest (OI) for calls and puts (1.15x for calls 1.1x for puts)
Formula: callRatio = 0.5 + (momentum / close) * 10 + (volatility - 1) * 0.1 capped between 0.3 and 0.7
Why It Matters: Mimics how big players might split their trades giving u a peek into institutional sentiment
Spike Detection:
Compares current volume/OI to short term (lookbackShort) and long term (lookbackLong) averages
Flags spikes when volume/OI exceeds the average by ur set threshold (spikeThreshold for regular highConfidenceThreshold for strong)
Adjusts for volatility so u’re not fooled by choppy markets
Output: optionsSignal (2 for strong bullish -2 for strong bearish 1 for bullish -1 for bearish 0 for neutral)
Why It Matters: Pinpoints where big money might be stepping in
Volatility Filter:
Uses ATR (10 periods) and its 20 period average to calculate a volatility factor (volFactor = ATR / avgAtr)
Scales spike thresholds based on market conditions (volAdjustedThreshold = spikeThreshold * max(1 volFactor * volFilter))
Why It Matters: Keeps ur signals reliable whether the market is calm or wild
Sentiment Score:
Calculates a call/put ratio (callVolume / putVolume) and adjusts for volatility
Converts it to a 0 to 100 score (higher = bullish lower = bearish)
Formula: sentimentScore = min(max((volAdjustedSentiment - 1) * 50 0) 100)
Why It Matters: Gives u a quick read on market bias
Round Number Detection:
Finds the nearest round number (e.g. 100 for MNQ1! 50 for MES1!)
Checks for volume spikes (volume > 3 period SMA * spikeThreshold) and if price is close (within ATR * atrMultiplier)
Updates the top activity level every 15 minutes when significant activity is detected
Why It Matters: Highlights psychological levels where price often reacts
Visuals and Dashboard:
Combines aurora flux bands glow effects round number lines and a dashboard to make insights pop (see Visual Elements below)
Plots triangles for call/put spikes (green/red for strong lime/orange for regular)
Sets up alerts for key market moves
Why It Matters: Makes complex data easy to read at a glance

Custom Opening Range - CommoditiesThe Custom Opening Range Indicator for Commodities is designed for instruments that trade nearly 24 hours, such as crude oil or natural gas. It allows traders to define the Opening Range based on Indian Standard Time (IST)—typically starting at 3:30 AM IST, which aligns with the global commodities market open. Users can customize both the start time and duration of the range (e.g., 5, 15, or 30 minutes). The indicator dynamically plots the high and low of this range and shades the area between them, providing a clear visual reference for breakout or reversal setups during the rest of the trading session.
Aggregate PDH High Break Alert**Aggregate PDH High Break Alert**
**Overview**
The “Aggregate PDH High Break Alert” is a lightweight Pine Script v6 indicator designed to instantly notify you when today’s price breaks above any prior-day high in a user-defined lookback window. Instead of manually scanning dozens of daily highs, this script automatically loops through the last _N_ days (up to 100) and fires a single-bar alert the moment price eclipses a specific day’s high.
**Key Features**
- **Dynamic Lookback**: Choose any lookback period from 1 to 100 days via a single `High-Break Lookback` input.
- **Single Security Call**: Efficiently retrieves the entire daily-high series in one call to avoid TradingView’s 40-call security limit.
- **Automatic Looping**: Internally loops through each prior-day high, so there’s no need to manually code dozens of lines.
- **Custom Alerts**: Generates a clear, formatted alert message—e.g. “Crossed high from 7 day(s) ago”—for each breakout.
- **Lightweight & Maintainable**: Compact codebase (<15 lines) makes tweaking and debugging a breeze.
**Inputs**
- **High-Break Lookback (days)**: Number of past days to monitor for high breaks. Valid range: 1–100.
**How to Use**
1. **Add to Chart**: Open TradingView, click “Indicators,” then “Create,” and paste in the code.
2. **Configure Lookback**: In the script’s settings, set your desired lookback window (e.g., 20 for the past 20 days).
3. **Enable Alerts**: Right-click the indicator’s name on your chart, select “Add Alert on Aggregate PDH High Break Alert,” and choose “Once per bar close.”
4. **Receive Notifications**: Whenever price crosses above any of the specified prior-day highs, you’ll get an on-screen and/or mobile push alert with the exact number of days ago.
**Use Cases**
- **Trend Confirmation**: Confirm fresh bullish momentum when today’s high outpaces any of the last _N_ days.
- **Breakout Trading**: Automate entries off multi-day highs without manual chart scanning.
- **System Integration**: Integrate with alerts to trigger orders in third-party bots or webhook receivers.
**Disclaimer**
Breakouts alone do not guarantee sustained moves. Combine with your preferred risk management, volume filters, and other indicators for higher-probability setups. Use on markets and timeframes where daily breakout behavior aligns with your strategy.
4H High-Low BoxesThis indicator dynamically plots high-low boxes based on the most recent 4-hour candle, providing visual markers for key price levels and trends. The box is updated in real-time to reflect the highest and lowest points of the current 4-hour candle, and its color changes based on the market's direction.
Key Features:
Dynamic Boxes: The indicator automatically adjusts to the 4-hour candle's high, low, and open price, creating a box that updates with price action.
Color-Coding: The box color changes based on the price direction. A green box indicates bullish market sentiment (price is above the 4H open), while a red box indicates bearish sentiment (price is below the 4H open).
Accurate Timeframe Representation: It works across any intraday timeframe (e.g., 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour), providing consistent, visually relevant markers for trading decisions.
Real-Time Updates: The box is adjusted dynamically as price evolves, ensuring it accurately represents the 4-hour price range during live trading.
Customizable Settings: Tailor the visual aspects of the box, including border color, background transparency, and other parameters.
Trading Strategy Ideas:
Rejection at High/Low: Look for price rejection at the 4H high/low for potential reversal signals.
Breakout Strategy: Trade breakouts above the 4H high or below the 4H low for momentum trades.
Mean Reversion: Enter when price moves away from the 4H open, expecting it to return to the open price.
This indicator can be used as a standalone tool or combined with other technical indicators to improve entry and exit points. Perfect for swing traders and those using price action to identify key support and resistance levels.
HAPPY TRADING
Auto Darvas Boxes## AUTO DARVAS BOXES

### OVERVIEW
**Auto Darvas Boxes** is a fully-automated, event-driven implementation of Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box methodology.
The script tracks consolidation zones in real time, verifies that price truly “respects” those zones for a fixed validation window, then waits for the first decisive range violation to mark a directional breakout.
Every box is plotted end-to-end—from the first candle of the sideways range to the exact candle that ruptures it—giving you an on-chart, visually precise record of accumulation or distribution and the expansion that follows.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
* Nicolas Darvas was a professional ballroom dancer who traded U.S. equities by telegram while touring the world.
* Without live news or Level II, he relied exclusively on **price** to infer institutional intent.
* His core insight: true market-moving entities leave footprints in the form of tight ranges; once their buying (or selling) is complete, price erupts out of the “box.”
* Darvas’s original procedure was manual—he kept notebooks, drew rectangles around highs and lows, and entered only when price punched out of the roof of a valid box.
* This indicator distills that logic into a rolling, self-resetting state machine so you never miss a box or breakout on any timeframe.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL (FOUR-STATE MACHINE)
**STATE 0 – RANGE DEFINITION**
• Examine the last *N* candles (default 7).
• Record `rangeHigh = highest(high, N) + tolerance`.
• Record `rangeLow = lowest(low, N) – tolerance`.
• Remember the index of the earliest bar in this window (`startBar`).
• Immediately transition to STATE 1.
**STATE 1 – RANGE VALIDATION**
• Observe the next *N* candles (again default 7).
• If **any** candle prints `high > rangeHigh` or `low < rangeLow`, the validation fails and the engine resets to STATE 0 **beginning at the violating candle**—no halfway boxes, no overlap.
• If all *N* candles remain inside the range, the box becomes **armed** and we transition to STATE 2.
**STATE 2 – ARMED (LIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK)**
• Draw a **green horizontal line** at `rangeHigh`.
• Draw a **red horizontal line** at `rangeLow`.
• Lines are extended in real time so the user can see the “live” Darvas ceiling and floor.
• Engine waits indefinitely for a breakout candle:
– **Up-Breakout** if `high > rangeHigh`.
– **Down-Breakout** if `low < rangeLow`.
**STATE 3 – BREAKOUT & COOLDOWN**
• Upon breakout the script:
1. Deletes the live range lines.
2. Draws a **filled rectangle (box)** from `startBar` to the breakout bar.
◦ **Green fill** when price exits above the ceiling.
◦ **Red fill** when price exits below the floor.
3. Optionally prints two labels at the left edge of the box:
◦ Dollar distance = `rangeHigh − rangeLow`.
◦ Percentage distance = `(rangeHigh − rangeLow) / rangeLow × 100 %`.
• After painting, the script waits a **user-defined cooldown** (default = 7 bars) before reverting to STATE 0. The cooldown guarantees separation between consecutive tests and prevents overlapping rectangles.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS (ALL ADJUSTABLE FROM THE SETTINGS PANEL)
* **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Number of candles used for both the definition and validation windows. Classic Darvas logic uses 7 but feel free to raise it on higher timeframes or volatile instruments.
* **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer added above the ceiling and below the floor. Use a small tolerance to ignore single-tick spikes or data-feed noise.
* **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – How long the engine pauses before hunting for the next consolidation. Setting this equal to the range length produces non-overlapping, evenly spaced boxes.
* **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle on/off. When on, each completed box displays its vertical size in both dollars and percentage, anchored at the box’s left edge.
---
### REAL-TIME VISUALISATION
* During the **armed** phase you see two extended, colour-coded guide-lines showing the exact high/low that must hold.
* When the breakout finally occurs, those lines vanish and the rectangle instantly appears, coloured to match the breakout direction.
* This immediate visual feedback turns any chart into a live Darvas tape—no manual drawing, no lag.
---
### PRACTICAL USE-CASES & BEST-PRACTICE WORKFLOWS
* **INTRADAY MOMENTUM** – Drop the script on 1- to 15-minute charts to catch tight coils before they explode. The coloured box marks the precise origin of the expansion; stops can sit just inside the opposite side of the box.
* **SWING & POSITION TRADING** – On 4-hour or daily charts, boxes often correspond to accumulation bases or volatility squeezes. Waiting for the box-validated breakout filters many false signals.
* **MEAN-REVERSION OR “FADE” STRATEGIES** – If a breakout immediately fails and price re-enters the box, you may have trapped momentum traders; fading that failure can be lucrative.
* **RISK MANAGEMENT** – Box extremes provide objective, structure-based stop levels rather than arbitrary ATR multiples.
* **BACK-TEST RESEARCH** – Because each box is plotted from first range candle to breakout candle, you can programmatically measure hold time, range height, and post-breakout expectancy for any asset.
---
### CUSTOMISATION IDEAS FOR POWER USERS
* **VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE WINDOW** – Replace the fixed 7-bar length with a dynamic value tied to ATR percentile so the consolidation window stretches or compresses with volatility.
* **MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC** – Only arm a 5-minute box if the 1-hour trend is aligned.
* **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Convert the indicator to a full `strategy{}` script, automate entries on breakouts, and benchmark performance across assets.
* **ALERTS** – Create TradingView alerts on both up-breakout and down-breakout conditions; route them to webhook for broker automation.
---
### FINAL THOUGHTS
**Auto Darvas Boxes** packages one of the market’s oldest yet still potent price-action frameworks into a modern, self-resetting indicator. Whether you trade equities, futures, crypto, or forex, the script highlights genuine contraction-expansion sequences—Darvas’s original “boxes”—with zero manual effort, letting you focus solely on execution and risk.
Price Map Profile [BigBeluga]An advanced volume-based tool designed to map out how trading activity is distributed across price levels. It combines dynamic volume profiling with structural pivot detection to highlight key levels of interest in the market — including hidden support/resistance zones and dominant liquidity areas.
Unlike traditional volume profiles locked to fixed sessions, this indicator continuously processes historical bars to build a real-time "map" of volume distribution. It intelligently reveals where buyers and sellers were most active, helping traders pinpoint high-impact zones with clarity.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Creates a volume map profile by scanning price action over a defined lookback window (`length`).
Divides price vertically into volume bins (default: 100) and aggregates either total volume or bar count per bin.
Bins are plotted as horizontal zones extending to the right of the chart — wider offset means more volume at that price.
Each zone is color-coded using gradients to represent volume magnitude:
- Below average volume = cool tones (blue/teal)
- Above average volume = warm tones (red/orange)
The highest volume bin is highlighted with a red label showing the exact volume, helping to identify strong price agreement.
Detects pivot highs and lows using a 15-bar swing method, marking them as potential S/R levels.
If a pivot level is located inside a low-volume zone (volume < average), it is emphasized with a dashed line and label .
Pivot line color matches direction:
- High pivots = yellow
- Low pivots = aqua
The volume of the bin containing the pivot is shown alongside the pivot, providing volume context for the structural level.
Filters out nearby duplicate pivots using ATR-based distance checks to ensure clean and non-redundant signals.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the wide red zones as liquidity and consolidation areas where price may stall, reverse, or absorb volume.
Pivot-based dashed lines within low-volume zones highlight hidden support/resistance levels where price may react sharply.
Combine this indicator with trend or order flow tools to validate reversal or breakout setups .
Switch between Volume and Frequency modes to adapt to the type of data your asset provides.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Price Map Profile transforms raw volume into an actionable visual map. By aligning volume depth with key market structure levels, it helps traders identify where market participants are most active — and where hidden inefficiencies lie. Ideal for traders seeking precision entries, dynamic S/R zones, and deeper volume structure insight.

Customization Flexibility: Feel free to tweak the parameters continuously until they align perfectly with your unique trading approach and risk tolerance.
Vacuum Candles [XrayAlgo]The Vacuum Candles indicator helps traders identify inefficient price movements—where the price moves significantly but lacks sufficient volume to support it. These inefficiencies may signal weak trends, potential reversals, or false breakouts/breakdowns.
Inefficient candles are visually marked with a darker / black body to indicate when the price movement is disproportionate to the volume.
1. Spotting Potential Reversals
When the indicator marks an inefficient candle, it signals that the price movement may be unsustainable.
In an uptrend: A inefficient bullish candle suggests that the uptrend is losing momentum, potentially leading to a downward reversal.
In a downtrend: A inefficient bearish candle signals that the downtrend may be weakening, with a potential bullish reversal.
2. Identifying Breakout and Breakdown Failures
This indicator is useful for recognizing false breakouts or false breakdowns.
If price breaks resistance but the candle is inefficient, the breakout may be weak and could fail quickly.
If price breaks support with an inefficient bearish candle, the breakdown could be a false signal, with price reverting back above support.
3. Recognizing Weak Trends
Inefficient candles help you spot when a trend is losing strength and could soon reverse or consolidate.
In an uptrend: A series of dark body bullish candles suggests that the uptrend may be weakening, signaling a potential correction or trend reversal.
In a downtrend: A series of dark body bearish candles suggests that the selling pressure is weakening, indicating a potential bullish reversal.
4. Fine-Tuning Entries and Exits
Inefficient candles offer an opportunity to fine-tune your entries and exits based on weak price moves.
Entering a trade: An inefficient candle near key support or resistance can indicate a reversal, making it a good entry point for a counter-trend position.
Exiting a trade: If you're already in a trend, and an inefficient candle appears, it suggests the trend is losing strength, indicating it may be a good time to exit before a potential reversal.
5. Fine-Tuning with Inputs
The Vacuum Candles indicator includes two key inputs:
Length: The number of candles used to calculate the average price movement and volume. A longer length (e.g., 20-30) smooths out the inefficiencies, while a shorter length (e.g., 10-15) makes the indicator more sensitive to recent price moves.
Multiplier: Controls the threshold for what is considered an inefficient candle:
A higher Multiplier (e.g., 1.5–3) filters out smaller inefficiencies and focuses on large discrepancies.
A lower Multiplier (e.g., 0.1–0.9) captures even smaller inefficiencies in highly efficient markets.

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.
Impulse Volume Oscillator [Alpha Extract]Impulse Volume Oscillator
A sophisticated indicator designed to identify market impulse moves and volume-based momentum shifts, helping traders capture significant price movements with precision.
Combining price deviations with volume analysis, this oscillator dynamically measures market strength and weakness, providing clear signals for potential trend continuations and reversals.
🔶 Volume-Adjusted Normalization
Utilizes a unique normalization technique that incorporates volume impact to enhance signal quality. This approach ensures the indicator responds more strongly to high-volume price movements while filtering out low-volume noise.
vol_ratio = ta.rsi(volume, 14) / 50
vol_factor = vol_impact > 0 ? 1 + (vol_ratio - 1) * vol_impact : 1
raw_normalized = dev / (ta.stdev(source, bars) * mult)
vol_adjusted = raw_normalized * vol_factor
normalized = ta.sma(vol_adjusted, smooth)
🔶 Adaptive Regime Detection
Incorporates threshold-based regime identification that clearly distinguishes between trending and mean-reverting market conditions. The customizable threshold system allows traders to adapt to different market volatilities and timeframes.
🔶 Customizable Parameters
Fine-tune detection sensitivity with adjustable inputs for lookback period, standard deviation multiplier, volume impact, and signal smoothing. These parameters enable traders to optimize the indicator for various trading styles and market conditions.
❓How It Works
🔶 Impulse Calculation
The oscillator measures price deviation from a moving average baseline, normalized by standard deviation, and then adjusts the signal based on relative volume strength. This creates a responsive yet stable indicator that accurately reflects market momentum.
// Calculate the basis using the selected MA
basis = get_ma(source, bars)
// Calculate the normalized value with volume impact
dev = source - basis
🔶 Dynamic Visualization
The histogram changes color based on signal strength, providing instant visual cues about market conditions. Green bars indicate positive momentum while red bars represent negative momentum, with color intensity reflecting signal strength.
🔶 Trend Confirmation
Built-in trend direction analysis provides confluence with the primary signal, helping traders distinguish between counter-trend bounces and genuine trend reversals. This dual-confirmation approach significantly reduces false signals.
🔶 Visual Alerts & Boundary Tracking
Monitors signal extremes and dynamically adjusts visualization transparency based on signal strength. The indicator highlights particularly strong impulse moves with background shading, making potential trading opportunities immediately apparent.
🔶 Custom Candle Coloring
Optional candle coloring applies the same color logic as the histogram directly to price candles, providing a unified visual framework that helps traders correlate indicator signals with price action.
🔶 Momentum Shift Detection
Automatically identifies important zero-line crossovers that often signify the beginning of new impulse moves. These transition points frequently offer favorable risk/reward entry opportunities.

This introduction explains what the indicator does, its features, and how it can benefit traders in a concise and easy-to-understand way.
HTF FibonacciThis indicator displays Fibonacci lines for the selected previous HTF candle.
You can set its Fibs levels and colors.
HTF options: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 1 day
CSCMultiTimeframeToolsLibrary "CSCMultiTimeframeTools"
Calculates instant higher timeframe values for higher timeframe analysis with zero lag.
getAdjustedLookback(current_tf_minutes, higher_tf_minutes, length)
Calculate adjusted lookback period for higher timeframe conversion.
Parameters:
current_tf_minutes (int) : Current chart timeframe in minutes (e.g., 5 for 5m).
higher_tf_minutes (int) : Target higher timeframe in minutes (e.g., 15 for 15m).
length (int) : Base length value (e.g., 14 for RSI/MFI).
Returns: Adjusted lookback period (length × multiplier).
Purpose and Benefits of the TimeframeTools Library
This library is designed to solve a critical pain point for traders who rely on higher timeframe (HTF) indicator values while analyzing lower timeframe (LTF) charts. Traditional methods require waiting for multiple candles to close—for example, to see a 1-hour RSI on a 5-minute chart, you’d need 12 closed candles (5m × 12 = 60m) before the value updates. This lag means missed opportunities, delayed signals, and inefficient decision-making.
Why Traders Need This
Whether you’re scalping (5M/15M) or swing trading (1H/4H), this library bridges the gap between timeframes, giving you HTF context in real time—so you can act faster, with confidence.
How This Library Eliminates the Waiting Game
By dynamically calculating the adjusted lookback period, the library allows:
Real-time HTF values on LTF charts – No waiting for candle closes.
Accurate conversions – A 14-period RSI on a 1-hour chart translates to 168 periods (14 × 12) on a 5-minute chart, ensuring mathematical precision.
Flexible application – Works with common indicators like RSI, MFI, CCI, and moving averages (though confirmations should be done before publishing under your own secondary use).
Key Advantages Over Manual Methods
Speed: Instantly reflects HTF values without waiting for candle resolutions.
Adaptability: Adjusts automatically if the user changes timeframes or lengths.
Consistency: Removes human error in manual period calculations.
Limitations to Note
Not a magic bullet – While it solves the lag issue, traders should still:
Validate signals with price action or additional confirmations.
Be mindful of extreme lookback lengths (e.g., a 200-period daily SMA on a 1-minute chart requires 28,800 periods, which may strain performance).
RSI Oversold ScannerPine Script Description for TradingView Publication
Title: RSI Oversold Scanner (1m, 5m, 15m)
Description:
The RSI Oversold Scanner is a powerful tool designed to identify stocks that are simultaneously oversold on the 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute timeframes, based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This script is ideal for traders seeking short-term reversal or momentum opportunities across multiple intraday timeframes.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe RSI Analysis: Calculates RSI (default length: 14) on the 1m, 5m, and 15m timeframes and checks if all are below the oversold threshold (default: 30).
Visual Output: Displays a table in the top-right corner showing RSI values and oversold status ("Yes" or "No") for each timeframe, making it easy to verify conditions.
Scan Result: Plots a value of 1 when all three timeframes are oversold, or 0 otherwise, enabling quick identification of matching stocks.
Alert Support: Includes an alert condition that triggers when a stock is oversold on all timeframes, with a customizable message for real-time notifications.
User-Friendly: Built with Pine Script v6 for compatibility and reliability, with clear visual feedback for traders of all levels.
How It Works:
The script uses ta.rsi to compute RSI on the current chart’s timeframe (1m) and request.security to fetch RSI data for the 5m and 15m timeframes.
It checks if RSI is below the oversold level (default: 30) on all three timeframes.
A table displays the RSI values and oversold status for easy debugging.
The Scan Result plot (1 or 0) indicates whether the stock meets the oversold criteria, which can be used for manual scanning or alerts.
Usage Instructions:
Add the script to your chart via Pine Editor.
Use a watchlist to switch between stocks and check the table or Scan Result for oversold conditions.
Set alerts by selecting the script’s Scan Result condition (value = 1) to get notified when a stock is oversold on all timeframes.
Customize the RSI length or oversold level in the script’s code if needed (e.g., change rsiLength or oversoldLevel).
Notes:
Best used on intraday charts (e.g., 1m or higher) with a watchlist for manual scanning, as TradingView’s Stock Screener does not directly support custom Pine Scripts.
Real-time alerts and intraday data may require a TradingView paid plan.
The script uses only two request.security calls, staying well within Pine Script’s limits.
Ideal For:
Day traders and swing traders looking for oversold stocks across multiple intraday timeframes.
Users who want to combine technical analysis with visual and alert-based confirmation.
VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator SwiftEdgeVWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator
Overview
The VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator is a powerful and visually engaging tool designed to help traders identify high-probability buy and sell opportunities in trending markets. By combining the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and a unique retracement-based signal logic, this indicator pinpoints moments when the price pulls back to a key zone before resuming its trend. Its modern, AI-inspired visuals and customizable features make it both intuitive and adaptable for traders of all levels.
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on a sophisticated yet straightforward strategy:
Buy Signals: Triggered when the price is above VWAP, has recently retraced to the zone between two EMAs (default 12 and 21 periods), and a strong bullish candle closes above both EMAs.
Sell Signals: Triggered when the price is below VWAP, has retraced to the EMA zone, and a strong bearish candle closes below both EMAs.
Signal Filtering: A customizable cooldown period ensures that only the first signal in a sequence is shown, reducing noise while preserving opportunities for new trends.
Confidence Scores: Each signal includes an AI-inspired confidence score (0-100%), calculated from candle strength and price distance to VWAP, helping traders gauge signal reliability.
The indicator’s visuals enhance decision-making with dynamic gradient lines, a highlighted retracement zone, and clear signal labels, all customizable to suit your preferences.
How It Works
The indicator integrates several components that work together to create a cohesive trading tool:
VWAP: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level, reflecting the average price weighted by volume. It filters signals to ensure buys occur in uptrends (price above VWAP) and sells in downtrends (price below VWAP).
Dual EMAs: Two EMAs (default 12 and 21 periods) define a retracement zone where the price is likely to consolidate before continuing its trend. Signals are generated only after the price exits this zone with conviction.
Retracement Logic: The indicator looks for price pullbacks to the EMA zone within a user-defined lookback window (default 5 candles), ensuring signals align with trend continuation patterns.
Candle Strength: Signals require strong candles (bullish for buys, bearish for sells) with a minimum body size based on the Average True Range (ATR), filtering out weak or indecisive moves.
Cooldown Mechanism: A unique feature that prevents signal clutter by allowing only the first signal within a user-defined period (default 3 candles), balancing responsiveness with clarity.
Confidence Score: Combines candle body size and price distance to VWAP to assign a score, giving traders an at-a-glance measure of signal strength without needing external analysis.
These components are carefully combined to capture high-probability setups while minimizing false signals, making the indicator suitable for both short-term and swing trading.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a 15-minute chart (recommended) or your preferred timeframe.
Customize Settings:
VWAP Source: Choose the price source (default: hlc3).
EMA Periods: Adjust the fast and slow EMA periods (default: 12 and 21).
Retracement Window: Set how many candles to look back for retracement (default: 5).
ATR Period & Body Size: Define candle strength requirements (default: 14 ATR period, 0.3 multiplier).
Cooldown Period: Control the minimum candles between signals (default: 3; set to 0 to disable).
Candle Requirements: Toggle whether signals require bullish/bearish candles or entire candle above/below EMAs.
Visuals: Enable/disable gradient colors, retracement zone, confidence scores, and choose a color scheme (Neon, Light, or Dark).
Interpret Signals:
Buy: A green "Buy" label with a confidence score appears below the candle when conditions are met.
Sell: A red "Sell" label with a confidence score appears above the candle.
Use the confidence score to prioritize higher-probability signals (e.g., above 80%).
Trade Management: Combine signals with your risk management strategy, such as setting stop-loss below the retracement zone and targeting a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Why It’s Unique
The VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator stands out due to its thoughtful integration of classic indicators with modern enhancements:
Balanced Signal Filtering: The cooldown mechanism ensures clarity without missing key opportunities, unlike many indicators that overwhelm with frequent signals.
AI-Inspired Confidence: The confidence score simplifies decision-making by quantifying signal strength, mimicking advanced analytical tools in an accessible way.
Elegant Visuals: Dynamic gradients, a highlighted retracement zone, and customizable color schemes (Neon, Light, Dark) create a sleek, futuristic interface that’s both functional and visually appealing.
Flexibility: Extensive customization options let traders tailor the indicator to their style, from conservative swing trading to aggressive scalping.
Volume Flow RatioVolume Flow Ratio (VFR) Indicator
Overview
The Volume Flow Ratio (VFR) is a sophisticated volume analysis tool that measures current trading volume relative to the maximum volume of the previous period. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show raw volume or simple moving averages, VFR provides context by comparing current activity to recent maximum activity levels.
Core Features
1. Split Period Analysis
- Multiple Timeframe Options:
- Daily: Compares to previous day's maximum
- Weekly: Week-to-week comparison
- NYSE Weekly: Specialized for stock market trading (Monday-Friday only)
- Monthly: Month-to-month analysis
- Quarterly: Quarter-to-quarter perspective
- Yearly: Year-over-year volume comparison
2. Ratio-Based Measurement
- Displays volume as a ratio (0 to 1+) rather than raw numbers
- 1.0 represents volume equal to previous period's maximum
- Example: If previous max was 50,000 contracts:
- Current volume of 25,000 shows as 0.5
- Current volume of 75,000 shows as 1.5
3. Triple Coloring Modes
- Moving Average Based:
- Compares current ratio to its moving average
- Customizable MA period
- Green: Above MA (higher than average activity)
- Red: Below MA (lower than average activity)
- Previous Candle Comparison:
- Simple increase/decrease from previous bar
- Green: Higher than previous bar
- Red: Lower than previous bar
- Candle Color Based:
- Syncs with price action
- Green: Bullish candles (close > open)
- Red: Bearish candles (close < open)
Primary Use Cases
1. Volume Profile Analysis
- Perfect for traders who need to understand when markets are most active
- Helps identify unusual volume spikes relative to recent history
- Useful for timing entries and exits based on market participation
2. Market Activity Traders
Ideal for traders who:

- What does it look like: a red triangle with a "Sell" mark above the candle
- What does it mean: the price is under the slow MA, which indicates a strong downward movement
🛠 Filters to filter out false signals
1️⃣ Minimum distance between the signals
- What it does: sets the minimum number of candles between signals of the same type
- Why it is needed: it prevents the appearance of too frequent signals, especially during periods of high volatility
- How to set it up: Set a different value for each signal type (default: 3-5 bars)
- Example: if the value is 3 for Up/Down signals, after the buy signal appears, the next buy signal may appear no earlier than 3 bars later
2️⃣ Advanced indicator filters
🔍 RSI Filter
- What it does: Checks the Relative Strength Index (RSI) value before generating a signal
- Why it is needed: it helps to avoid countertrend entries and catch reversal points
- How to set up:
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the RSI range, usually in the oversold zone (for example, 1-30)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the RSI range, usually in the overbought zone (for example, 70-100)
- Example: if the RSI = 25 (in the range 1-30), the buy signal will be confirmed
📊 MFI Filter (Cash Flow Index)
- What it does: analyzes volumes and the direction of price movement
- Why it is needed: confirms signals with data on the activity of cash flows
- How to set up:
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the MFI range in the oversold zone (for example, 1-25)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the MFI range in the overbought zone (for example, 75-100)
- Example: if MFI = 80 (in the range of 75-100), the sell signal will be confirmed
📈 Stochastic Filter
- What it does: analyzes the position of the current price relative to the price range
- Why it is needed: confirms signals based on overbought/oversold conditions
- How to configure:
- You can configure the K Length, D Length and Smoothing parameters
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the stochastic range in the oversold zone (for example, 1-20)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the stochastic range in the overbought zone (for example, 80-100)
- Example: if stochastic = 15 (is in the range of 1-20), the buy signal will be confirmed

Big Candle Highlighter (Nifty 1m)This indicator will help option buyers to avoid taking trade in impulsive candles.
For Example :
Normal 1m candle: ~10–15 pts
Big candle (possible liquidity/impulse): >18 pts
Very large / avoid chasing: >25 pts
If you see a candle that breaks structure with a 25-30 point range and closes strong, it’s often:
A liquidity sweep
A news spike
Or the start of an impulsive leg — in which case entering at close can be risky without a retest
Quarterly Theory ICT 04 [TradingFinder] SSMT 4Quarter Divergence🔵 Introduction
Sequential SMT Divergence is an advanced price-action-based analytical technique rooted in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology. Its primary objective is to identify early-stage divergences between correlated assets within precise time structures. This tool not only breaks down market structure but also enables traders to detect engineered liquidity traps before the market reacts.
In simple terms, SMT (Smart Money Technique) occurs when two correlated assets—such as indices (ES and NQ), currency pairs (EURUSD and GBPUSD), or commodities (Gold and Silver)—exhibit different reactions at key price levels (swing highs or lows). This lack of alignment is often a sign of smart money manipulation and signals a lack of confirmation in the ongoing trend—hinting at an imminent reversal or at least a pause in momentum.
In its Sequential form, SMT divergences are examined through a more granular temporal lens—between intraday quarters (Q1 through Q4). When SMT appears at the transition from one quarter to another (e.g., Q1 to Q2 or Q3 to Q4), the signal becomes significantly more powerful, often aligning with a critical phase in the Quarterly Theory—a framework that segments market behavior into four distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal/Continuation.
For instance, a Bullish SMT forms when one asset prints a new low while its correlated counterpart fails to break the corresponding low from the previous quarter. This usually indicates absorption of selling pressure and the beginning of accumulation by smart money. Conversely, a Bearish SMT arises when one asset makes a higher high, but the second asset fails to confirm, signaling distribution or a fake-out before a decline.
However, SMT alone is not enough. To confirm a true Market Structure Break (MSB), the appearance of a Precision Swing Point (PSP) is essential—a specific candlestick formation on a lower timeframe (typically 5 to 15 minutes) that reveals the entry of institutional participants. The combination of SMT and PSP provides a more accurate entry point and better understanding of premium and discount zones.
The Sequential SMT Indicator, introduced in this article, dynamically scans charts for such divergence patterns across multiple sessions. It is applicable to various markets including Forex, crypto, commodities, and indices, and shows particularly strong performance during mid-week sessions (Wednesdays and Thursdays)—when most weekly highs and lows tend to form.

🔵 How to Use
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is designed to detect time and structure-based divergences between two correlated assets. This divergence occurs when both assets print a similar swing (high or low) in the previous quarter (e.g., Q3), but in the current quarter (e.g., Q4), only one asset manages to break that swing level—while the other fails to reach it.
This temporal mismatch is precisely identified by the SSMT indicator and often signals smart money activity, a market phase transition, or even the presence of an engineered liquidity trap. The signal becomes especially powerful when paired with a Precision Swing Point (PSP)—a confirming candle on lower timeframes (5m–15m) that typically indicates a market structure break (MSB) and the entry of smart liquidity.
🟣 Bullish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing low.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., EURUSD) breaks that low and trades below it.
The other asset (e.g., GBPUSD) fails to reach the same low, preserving the structure.
This time-based divergence reflects declining selling pressure, potential absorption, and often marks the end of a manipulation phase and the start of accumulation. If confirmed by a bullish PSP candle, it offers a strong long opportunity, with stop-losses defined just below the swing low.
🟣 Bearish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing high.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., NQ) breaks above that high.
The other asset (e.g., ES) fails to reach that high, remaining below it.
This type of divergence signals weakening bullish momentum and the likelihood of distribution or a fake-out before a price drop. When followed by a bearish PSP candle, it sets up a strong shorting opportunity with targets in the discount zone and protective stops placed above the swing high.

🔵 Conclusion
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is a powerful and precise tool for identifying structural divergences between correlated assets within a time-based framework. Unlike traditional divergence models that rely solely on sequential pivot comparisons, SSMT leverages Quarterly Theory, in combination with concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSB) and precision swing points (PSP), to provide a deeper and more actionable view of market dynamics.
By using SSMT, traders gain not only the ability to identify where divergence occurs, but also when it matters most within the market cycle. This empowers them to anticipate major moves or traps before they fully materialize, and position themselves accordingly in high-probability trade zones.
Whether you're trading Forex, crypto, indices, or commodities, the true strength of this indicator is revealed when used in sync with the Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal phases of the market. Integrated with other confluence tools and market models, SSMT can serve as a core component in a professional, rule-based, and highly personalized trading strategy.
