Liquidity Gravity Engine [Pineify]```markdown
Liquidity Gravity Engine - Market Structure, Displacement, Liquidity Rails
Overview
Liquidity Gravity Engine is a market structure + liquidity visualization indicator designed to help you read flow , impulse , and liquidity magnets on any symbol and timeframe. Instead of relying on a single moving average, it builds a dynamic “flow ribbon” from confirmed swing structure, highlights displacement candles that create imbalance (FVG-style gaps), and projects unmitigated swing levels as liquidity rails that price often revisits.
Key Features
Liquid Flow Ribbon: a structure-based dynamic band that adapts to volatility.
Displacement Highlighting: flags momentum candles that expand beyond ATR and form an imbalance.
Liquidity Rails: extends unmitigated swing highs/lows as potential targets until swept.
Trend Context: displacement is filtered using the ribbon’s smoothed centerline.
How It Works
Market Structure (Swings) : swing highs/lows are detected using pivot logic over your “Structure Lookback”. Pivots become confirmed only after the lookback window completes, which means historical swing points can update until they are confirmed.
Flow Construction : the most recent confirmed swing high and swing low define a top and bottom boundary. Their midpoint is then smoothed with an EMA to create the “liquid” centerline.
Displacement + Imbalance : a candle is considered displacement when its range expands beyond ATR(14) × Displacement Factor and it creates a simple FVG-style gap (current low above the high two bars back for bullish, or current high below the low two bars back for bearish). The bar is then filtered by being on the correct side of the smoothed flow center.
Liquidity Rails : each new confirmed swing high/low can become a dotted rail. Rails extend forward and are removed once price sweeps beyond the level (mitigation), keeping the chart focused on active liquidity.
Trading Ideas and Insights
Use the ribbon as context : bias is stronger when price holds one side of the flow centerline.
Treat displacement markers as impulse confirmation : they often appear at breakout moments or at the start of expansions.
Use liquidity rails as magnets : unmitigated swing highs/lows can act as targets for continuation or mean-reversion moves.
Combine structure + displacement: a sweep into a rail followed by an opposite displacement can hint at a reversal attempt.
How Multiple Components Work Together
This indicator is intentionally built as a single liquidity-driven workflow:
Swings define structure.
Structure defines the flow ribbon (trend/volatility context).
The ribbon filters displacement so you see momentum that aligns with flow.
Liquidity rails provide objective target zones derived from the same swing structure.
The result is a cohesive view of market structure flow, institutional-style displacement, and liquidity targets without stacking multiple separate indicators.
Unique Aspects
Structure-first ribbon: the band is anchored to confirmed swing points, not just a price average.
Imbalance-aware displacement: requires both range expansion and a gap-style condition, reducing generic “big candle” noise.
Self-cleaning liquidity rails: mitigated levels are removed to keep the chart readable.
How to Use
Start with defaults on a clean chart.
Identify the flow: price above the smoothed centerline favors bullish flow; below favors bearish flow.
Watch for displacement diamonds (“D”): they often validate a push away from structure and can mark the start of a leg.
Plan around rails: treat dotted lines as potential objectives and areas where reactions/sweeps can occur.
Customization
Structure Lookback : smaller values = more sensitive swings; larger values = cleaner, slower structure.
Displacement Factor : higher values = fewer, stronger displacement bars; lower values = more signals.
Show Liquidity Rails + Liquidity Lookback : control whether rails are plotted and how active levels are emphasized.
Visuals : adjust bullish/bearish flow colors and liquidity line styling for your chart theme.
Conclusion
Liquidity Gravity Engine helps you map market structure, highlight displacement and imbalance (FVG-style) momentum, and visualize liquidity targets with rails that stay relevant until swept. Use it for trend context, breakout confirmation, and liquidity-based trade planning on forex, crypto, stocks, and indices.

INTRODUCTION
The “srd786-Intraday VWAP Price Action Indicator” is a sophisticated Pine Script (version 6) trading tool designed for intraday traders who focus on New York session trading hours. This indicator combines multiple technical analysis concepts including Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), Average True Range (ATR) for risk management, swing point detection for support/resistance identification, and momentum analysis through RSI. The primary objective is to generate high-probability long and short signals based on price action confluence with trend, momentum, and key structural levels.
1.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): Shows the "fair" average price based on both price and trading volume.
2.
ATR (Average True Range): Measures how much the price typically moves each day.
3.
Trend Analysis: Identifies whether the market is going up, down, or sideways.
4.
Momentum Indicators: Shows how strong the current price movement is.
5.
Support & Resistance: Identifies key price levels where the price might stop or reverse.
6.
Swing Points: Finds significant turning points in the price.
This indicator is specifically optimized for the New York trading session (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET), making it particularly suitable for traders who focus on US market hours. It provides a complete trading framework that includes not only signal generation but also precise trade management levels including entry prices, stop-loss orders, and profit targets based on a configurable reward-to-risk ratio.
The philosophy behind this indicator is confluence-based trading. Rather than relying on a single indicator or condition, it requires multiple factors to align before generating a trade signal. This approach filters out lower-probability setups and focuses only on high-quality opportunities where price action, trend direction, momentum, and key technical levels all point in the same direction.
CORE CONCEPT AND METHODOLOGY
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
VWAP is the cornerstone of this indicator's trading methodology. Unlike a simple moving average that treats all price bars equally, VWAP incorporates volume data into its calculation, giving more weight to bars with higher trading volume. This makes VWAP a more accurate representation of the true average price where the most significant trading activity occurred.
The calculation of VWAP is performed using the built-in 'ta.vwap()' function, which computes the cumulative volume-weighted average price from the beginning of the session. For intraday traders, VWAP serves as a critical reference point that indicates whether the current price is trading at a premium (above VWAP) or discount (below VWAP) relative to the session's volume-weighted average.
In this indicator, the VWAP source is configurable through the 'vwapSource' parameter, with the default being HLC3 (High + Low + Close / 3). This source selection allows traders to experiment with different price types such as typical price, weighted close, or even custom sources to suit their trading style and market preferences.
Average True Range (ATR) for Risk Management
The Average True Range, calculated using 'ta.atr()', measures market volatility by decomposing the current range of price movement. ATR does not indicate price direction;
instead, it quantifies the degree of price movement or volatility over a specified period. In this indicator, ATR serves dual purposes: determining the distance for limit orders and calculating stop-loss levels.
The 'atrLength' parameter (default: 14) controls the lookback period for the ATR calculation. A shorter length makes the indicator more responsive to recent volatility, while a longer length provides a smoother average that may be more suitable for less volatile markets. The 'atrMultiplier' (default: 1.5) determines how many ATR units away the stop-loss is placed from the entry price, allowing traders to adjust their risk exposure based on current market conditions.
Swing Detection and Support/Resistance
Swing points represent significant turning points in price action where the market has temporarily exhausted its directional momentum. This indicator uses pivot high and pivot low calculations to identify swing highs and swing lows, which then form the basis for dynamic support and resistance levels.
The 'swingLength' parameter (default: 5) defines how many bars to the left and right of a potential pivot point must be lower (for pivot highs) or higher (for pivot lows) to confirm the swing point. This lookback period helps filter out minor price fluctuations and focuses on more significant structural levels.
Support and resistance levels are stored in arrays ('swingHighArray' and 'SwingLowArray'), with the most recent swing points serving as the primary reference levels. The 'srLookback' parameter (default: 20) controls the overall lookback window and also determines how many
swing points to maintain in each array, ensuring that only relevant historical levels are considered.
Breakout Detection
When a price moves past a major support or resistance level, this is known as a price breakout. This price breakout suggests that there is a possibility of a new trend direction heading forward.Breakout detection eliminates noise, as little price fluctuations or volatility may momentarily drive prices past a threshold without authentic conviction.Detection of breakouts affirms robustness when the price above the threshold by 2%, indicating genuine market interest, and mitigates whipsaws to prevent placing trades based on transient price swings.
The Breakout Tolerance parameter, set by default to 2%, regulates the breakout tolerance for the indicator. A price closure above the current high plus a minor tolerance buffer (usually 2%) indicates a potential continuation of upward movement, classified as a Bullish Breakout. Conversely, when the price closes below the recent low plus a minor tolerance buffer (usually 2%), it suggests that the price may continue to decline, which is classified as a Bearish Breakout Down.
Trend Identification
Trend determination is accomplished through an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a configurable length ('trendMaLength', default: 9). The indicator classifies trend into three
states: BULLISH (price above EMA with confirmation from the previous bar), BEARISH (price below EMA with confirmation), and SIDEWAYS (price crossing or near the EMA).
The EMA is chosen over simple moving averages because it responds more quickly to recent price changes while still providing enough smoothing to filter out noise. The confirmation requirement (both current and previous bar must be on the same side of the EMA) reduces false signals during periods of choppy price action.
Momentum Analysis
Momentum is measured using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with a configurable length ('momentumLength', default: 9). RSI values are categorized into five states to provide nuanced momentum readings: STRONG BULL (RSI above 70), BUILDING (RSI between 55 and 70), NEUTRAL (RSI between 45 and 55), WEAKENING (RSI below 45), and STRONG BEAR (RSI below 30).
This momentum categorization allows traders to distinguish between strong trending conditions (STRONG BULL/BEAR) and transitions (BUILDING/WEAKENING), providing context for trade signals and helping to avoid entering positions during momentum divergences.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
VWAP Settings
The 'vwapSource' parameter determines which price value is used in the VWAP calculation. The default value of 'hlc3' (High + Low + Close / 3) provides a balanced representation of each bar's price action. Traders can modify this to use typical price ('high + low + close / 3'), weighted close ('high + low + close + close / 4'), or other price types depending on their analytical preferences.
ATR Settings
The 'atrLength' parameter sets the lookback period for the Average True Range calculation. The default of 14 periods is standard across most trading platforms and timeframes, providing a good balance between responsiveness and smoothness. The 'atrMultiplier' parameter (default: 1.5) scales the ATR value to determine stop-loss distances. A multiplier of 1.5 means the stop-loss is placed 1.5 ATR units away from the entry price, providing enough buffer to accommodate normal volatility while limiting risk.
Trade Settings
The 'rrRatio' parameter (default: 3.0) establishes the reward-to-risk ratio for trade targets. A ratio of 2.0 means the profit target is twice the distance of the stop-loss from the entry price. The 'limitOrderDistance' parameter (default: 0.5) determines how far below (for long trades)
or above (for short trades) the current close the limit order is placed, measured in ATR units. This allows traders to enter positions at better prices while waiting for pullbacks.
Swing Detection Settings
The 'swingLength' parameter (default: 5) controls pivot identification sensitivity. Higher values identify more significant swing points but may miss shorter-term opportunities. The 'showSwings' boolean parameter toggles the visual display of swing high and low points on the chart.
Support & Resistance Settings
The 'srLookback' parameter (default: 20) defines how many bars back to search for swing points and support/resistance levels. The 'breakoutTolerance' parameter (default: 0.02 or 2%) adds a small buffer to breakout detection to account for minor penetration of support/resistance levels due to price spikes or slippage.
Trend & Momentum Settings
The 'trendMaLength' parameter (default: 9) sets the EMA length for trend determination, while 'momentumLength' (default: 9) sets the RSI lookback period. Both should be at least 5 periods for meaningful calculations.
Table Settings
The 'showTable' parameter (default: true) enables the display of two information tables that provide real-time data on Indicator values and trade levels.
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
Long Signal Conditions
A long signal is generated when all the following conditions are simultaneously true:
1.
Session Filter: The trade must occur during New York session hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET).
2.
Trend Confirmation: The trend must be BULLISH (price above EMA with confirmation).
3.
Price Position: Current price must be above VWAP, indicating bullish price action.
4.
Breakout or No Resistance: Either price is breaking out above resistance level with tolerance, or there is no prior resistance level to overcome.
5.
Momentum Alignment: Momentum must be either STRONG BULL or BUILDING.
This confluence of conditions ensures that long trades are only taken when the market is trending higher, price is confirming strength by trading above VWAP, and momentum is supportive of continued upward movement.
Short Signal Conditions
A short signal is generated when all the following conditions are simultaneously true:
1.
Session Filter: The trade must occur during New York session hours
2.
Trend Confirmation: The trend must be BEARISH (price below EMA with confirmation)
3.
Price Position: Current price must be below VWAP, indicating bearish price action
4.
Breakout or No Support: Either price is breaking down below support level with tolerance, or there is no prior support level to overcome
5.
Momentum Alignment: Momentum must be either STRONG BEAR or WEAKENING
Similar to long signals, short trades require alignment across multiple timeframes and analytical approaches, filtering out counter-trend trades and focusing on high-probability setups.
TRADE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
Entry Price Calculation
For long trades, the limit order price is calculated as: 'Close - (ATR Value × Limit Order Distance)'. This places the entry price below the current close, allowing traders to buy on dips while maintaining a favorable entry price. For short trades, the limit order is placed above the current close: 'Close + (ATR Value × Limit Order Distance)'.
The limit order distance is expressed in ATR units, making it adaptive to current volatility conditions. In more volatile markets, the limit order will be placed further from the current price, while in calmer markets, it will be closer.
Stop-Loss Placement
Stop-loss levels are calculated using the ATR multiplier to ensure adaptive risk management. For long trades: 'Entry Price - (ATR Value × ATR Multiplier)'. For short trades: 'Entry Price + (ATR Value × ATR Multiplier)'.
This adaptive approach to stop-loss placement means that in volatile markets, stops are wider to avoid being stopped out by normal price fluctuations, while in quieter markets, stops are tighter to limit potential losses. The default multiplier of 1.5 provides approximately 1.5 times the average true range of protection.
Target Price Calculation
Profit targets are determined by the reward-to-risk ratio: 'Entry Price + (ATR Stop Distance × RR Ratio)' for long trades and 'Entry Price - (ATR Stop Distance × RR Ratio)' for short trades. The default ratio of 2.0 means the target is twice the distance of the stop-loss, providing a favorable risk-reward profile.
New York Session Tracking
The indicator includes specialized logic for tracking the New York session open price. When a new NY session begins (determined by the 'isNewNySession' variable), the current open price is recorded and maintained throughout the session. This provides a reference point for measuring intraday directional bias from the session's starting level.
INFORMATION TABLES
Indicators Table
This table displays the current price, VWAP value, NY session open price, support level,resistance level, ATR, ATR-scaled stop distance, current trend classification, momentum state with RSI value, and breakout status. All values are color-coded based on their bullish or bearish implications. The VWAP cell is color-coded green if price is above VWAP (bullish) and red if below (bearish), providing instant visual confirmation of price's position relative to this critical level.
Trade Levels Table
This table shows current signal status (LONG, SHORT, or WAIT), limit order distance in ATR units, calculated limit order price, stop-loss level, and target price with the reward-to-risk ratio displayed. The signal cell is highlighted in green for long signals and red for short signals.
ALERT CONDITIONS
The indicator includes four alert conditions that can be configured in TradingView:
1.
LONG Signal: Triggers when a long signal is generated, providing entry price, stop-loss, and target information.
2.
SHORT Signal: Triggers when a short signal is generated with corresponding trade details.
3.

These alerts enable traders to receive notifications via TradingView's alert system without continuously monitoring the charts.
USAGE EXAMPLES AND TRADING SCENARIOS
Strong Bullish Trend with VWAP Support
In this scenario, price has been trading above the 9-period EMA for multiple bars, confirming a bullish trend. The current price is above VWAP, indicating buyers are willing to pay a premium. A recent swing low has established a support level, and RSI is reading 65, indicating building momentum without being overextended. When price breaks above the recent swing high resistance with a 2% tolerance, the indicator generates a long signal. The trader places a limit order below the current bar's close (0.5 ATR units) and sets the stop-loss 1.5 ATR units below the entry, with a target 2.0 times the stop distance away.
Short Setup During Volatile Session
During a particularly volatile NY session, price gaps down below VWAP early in the day. The 9-period EMA is declining, and both current and previous bars are below it, confirming a bearish trend. The RSI has dropped to 28, indicating strong bearish momentum. A recent swing high serves as resistance, and when price breaks below the swing low support level, the indicator generates a short signal. The trader enters on a limit order placed 0.5 ATR units above the current price, with the stop-loss 1.5 ATR units above the entry and the target at a 2.0 reward-to-risk ratio.
Avoiding Counter-Trend Trades
Consider a scenario where price is above VWAP and the RSI reads 72 (overbought), but the price is below the 9-period EMA and the previous bar was also below the EMA. In this case, the trend is classified as BEARISH (or SIDEWAYS) despite the bullish price position relative to VWAP. The indicator will not generate a long signal because the trend condition is not met, protecting the trader from what could be a bear trap or continuation pattern.
No Prior Levels Scenario
At the beginning of a trading session or after significant volatility has cleared prior swing points, there may be no established support or resistance levels in the lookback window. In this case, the breakout condition 'or na(resistanceLevel)' allows long signals to be generated without requiring a resistance level to be broken, enabling traders to participate in emerging trends without waiting for prior levels to form.
BEST PRACTICES AND TIPS
Timeframe Selection
This indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes (1-minute to 60-minute charts) and specifically for NY session trading. Higher timeframes may produce more reliable signals but fewer opportunities, while lower timeframes will generate more signals but with potentially lower reliability. Traders should backtest on their preferred timeframe before trading live.
Market Conditions
The indicator performs best in trending markets with clear directional bias. During ranging or sideways markets, the trend condition may oscillate frequently, and VWAP may oscillate around price, reducing signal quality. Consider filtering signals or reducing position size during low-volatility, range-bound conditions.
Parameter Optimization
While the default parameters have been selected for general applicability, traders should consider optimizing certain parameters for specific markets or instruments. For highly volatile instruments like crude oil or natural gas, increasing the 'atrMultiplier' to 2.0 or 2.5 may provide more appropriate risk management. For less volatile instruments like certain forex pairs, reducing the multiplier to 1.0 or 1.2 may improve signal quality.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis
For enhanced performance, traders can analyze the trend on a higher timeframe (such as 15-minute or hourly) while taking signals on a lower timeframe (such as 5-minute or 1-minute). This multi-timeframe approach ensures that signals are aligned with the larger trend direction.
Risk Management
While the indicator provides calculated stop-loss levels, traders should consider their overall position sizing and portfolio risk. The ATR-based stops provide a market-adaptive approach, but individual risk tolerance and account size should ultimately determine position sizing. The 2.0 reward-to-risk ratio is fixed but can be adjusted based on personal preferences or the specific characteristics of the instrument being traded.

Customization
All input parameters can be adjusted through the indicator's settings panel without modifying the source code. Traders can experiment with different VWAP sources, ATR lengths and multipliers, swing detection parameters, and table display options to suit their trading style and market preferences.
LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Session Dependency
The indicator is specifically designed for NY session trading and will not generate signals outside these hours. Traders focused on other sessions or 24-hour markets may need to modify the session string to match their trading hours.
Historical Data Requirements
The indicator requires sufficient historical data to accurately calculate swing points and support/resistance levels. On lower timeframe charts with limited history, the initial signals may be less reliable until adequate swing points are identified.
Lag in Swing Detection
By definition, swing points are confirmed after the price has moved away from them, introducing some lag into support/resistance identification. Traders should be aware that the most recent swing point may not be confirmed until several bars after it occurs.
Not Financial Advice
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should not be construed as financial advice. Traders are responsible for their own research and risk management decisions. Past performance of any trading system does not guarantee future results.

Intraday Session Ranges (Asian-London-NY) - JonathanJD86This script is a technical utility designed to automatically track and visualize the high and low price levels of the three major trading sessions (Asian, London, and New York).
How it works: The script uses the time() function with the America/New_York timezone anchor to ensure accuracy regardless of the user's local time. It tracks the maximum and minimum price values during specific user-defined intervals.
Key Methodology:
Vertical Tick Offset: Unlike standard session boxes, this tool allows users to set a vertical gap (in ticks) so that the labels do not overlap the candle wicks, providing a clearer view of the actual price action.
Session Intervals: Defaulted to high-activity windows: Asian (20:00-00:00), London (02:00-05:00), and New York (08:30-16:00).
Dynamic Visibility: The script includes a logical check to automatically hide levels on timeframes higher than 1H, preventing chart clutter during macro analysis.
Buy / Sell Volume LabelsINDICATOR NAME:
Buy/Sell Volume Labels
DESCRIPTION:
Buy/Sell Volume Labels displays real-time buying and selling volume with dynamic color-coded labels that highlight market dominance. The indicator automatically emphasizes the dominant side (buy or sell) with bright green or red backgrounds, while the non-dominant side fades to gray for instant visual clarity.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Color Coding: Dominant volume side displays in bright green (buy) or red (sell), non-dominant side in gray
- Trend Indicator: Optional "Bullish Trend", "Bearish Trend", or "Neutral" label shows current market bias
- Flexible Display Options: Choose to show percentages only, volume only, or both
- Customizable Position: Place labels anywhere on chart (top, center, bottom; left, center, right)
- Adjustable Size: Six size options from Tiny to Huge, including Auto
- Lookback Period: Calculate volume for current bar or sum across multiple bars
- Neutral Threshold: Define when market is considered neutral vs. trending
How It Works:
- The indicator calculates buying and selling volume based on where price closes within each bar's range. When buying volume dominates, the Buy label turns bright green with black text while the Sell label turns gray. When selling dominates, the Sell label turns bright red with white text while the Buy label turns gray. This makes it immediately obvious which side controls the market.

AMSC is not a single-indicator strategy.
It is a context-driven decision framework intended to help traders align entries with dominant trend, structural levels, and institutional activity.
Core Components
1️⃣ Adaptive ATR Trend Channel
Dynamic ATR-based support & resistance
Automatically adjusts to volatility
Color-coded trend strength (strong / weak regimes)
Acts as the primary trend bias filter
2️⃣ Pivot-Based ATR Trend Channels
Channels built from confirmed pivot highs and lows
ATR-expanded structure, not fixed slopes
Separates impulse moves from corrections
Useful for trend continuation and pullback trades
3️⃣ Market Structure: Supply & Demand Zones
Automatically plots fresh demand and supply zones
Zones extend forward until violated
Helps identify high-probability reaction areas
Used as a location filter, not a standalone signal
4️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Detection (Smart Money Logic)
Identifies equal high / equal low liquidity pools
Detects stop-hunt style sweeps
Validates sweeps only when price reacts from structure zones
Prevents chasing false breakouts
5️⃣ Multi-Factor Trend Confirmation Engine
Combines:
EMA structure
MACD momentum
RSI regime
VWAP positioning
Optional ribbon & HMA filters
Signals are generated only when a majority of factors align, avoiding single-indicator bias.
6️⃣ Volatility Context (Bollinger Bands)
Provides volatility expansion / contraction context
Helps distinguish trend continuation vs compression
Works as a background regime filter
7️⃣ Higher Timeframe Confirmation
Confirms trend using a user-selected HTF
Prevents counter-trend trades during strong HTF bias
Essential for intraday and swing traders
8️⃣ Session-Aware Trading
Optional India, London, and New York session filters
Signals only during active market participation
Avoids low-liquidity false signals
9️⃣ Professional Dashboard
Real-time display of:
Trend direction
Trend strength
Factor alignment
HTF bias
Active zone
Trade signal
Session status
Designed for quick decision-making, not clutter.
How to Use AMSC (Best Practice)
✔ Trade in the direction of the ATR trend
✔ Enter near demand/supply within the channel
✔ Confirm with factor alignment & HTF bias
✔ Use liquidity sweeps as entry triggers, not signals alone
✔ Avoid trades during low-strength or inactive sessions
AMSC performs best when used as a confluence system, not a mechanical entry-exit robot.
Ideal Use Cases
Intraday index trading
Swing trading in trending markets
Futures & FX structure-based trading
Traders who prefer context over indicators
What AMSC Is NOT
❌ Not a scalping toy
❌ Not a repainting indicator
❌ Not a one-click signal generator
It is built for disciplined traders who understand structure and risk.
Final Note
AMSC is designed to think like the market, not predict it.
Use it to read conditions, not chase signals.
MSC — BEST CLEAN SETUP (RECOMMENDED)
🎯 Design Philosophy
“Context first, signals last.”
The goal is to:
Read trend & structure at a glance
Avoid indicator overload
Let price + zones + channel do the heavy lifting
1️⃣ CORE VISUALS (KEEP ON)
These are non-negotiable.
🔹 Adaptive ATR Trend Channel
✅ ON
Primary trend bias
Use ATR Trendline Color = ON
This alone defines:
Bull vs Bear
Strength vs weakness
👉 If price is above channel → bullish context
👉 If price is below channel → bearish context
🔹 Pivot ATR Trend Channel
✅ ON
Channel fill: ON
Transparency ≥ 85
Purpose:
Visualise trend slope
Spot pullbacks inside trend
👉 Treat channel edges as dynamic structure, not entry signals.
🔹 Supply & Demand Zones
✅ ON
Transparency: 80–85
Zones auto-expire visually when violated
👉 These are your only horizontal levels.
2️⃣ SMART FILTERS (SELECTIVE)
💧 Liquidity Sweep
✅ ON
Lookback: 5
Tolerance: 0.15 ATR
👉 Use sweeps only near zones
❌ Ignore sweeps in the middle of nowhere
⏱ Session Filter
✅ ON
Trade only one session
India (for NSE)
London (for FX)
New York (for US indices)
❌ Do NOT enable multiple sessions simultaneously
🔍 Higher Timeframe (HTF)
✅ ON
Intraday: Daily
Swing: Weekly
👉 If HTF disagrees → no trade
3️⃣ WHAT TO TURN OFF (CRITICAL)
This is where clutter dies.
❌ Bollinger Bands
🚫 OFF by default
Use only when studying volatility compression
Otherwise adds visual noise
❌ Full ATR Channel (Ver 15)
🚫 OFF
Redundant with pivot + ATR trend
Keep only one channel logic
❌ SuperTrend Channel
🚫 OFF
ATR Trend Channel already covers this
❌ Pivot Levels (P, R1, S1…)
🚫 OFF
Zones replace static pivots
Too many horizontal lines = paralysis
❌ Previous Day / Week Levels
🚫 OFF
Turn ON only for index option trading
Otherwise clutter
4️⃣ MOVING AVERAGES (STRICT RULE)
Keep ONLY:
EMA Fast (9)
EMA Slow (21)
Optional:
HMA → ON only for scalping
❌ Do NOT stack multiple MAs visually
5️⃣ DASHBOARD (MINIMAL MODE)
🧭 Dashboard
✅ ON
Position: Top Right
Text Size: Small
Watch only:
Trend
Strength
HTF
Zone
Signal
Ignore factor numbers once confidence develops.
6️⃣ SIGNAL USAGE (DISCIPLINE RULE)
✔ Signal must appear inside a zone
✔ Signal must align with trend & HTF
✔ Signal must be during session
❌ Never take:
Signals mid-channel
Signals against HTF
Signals during flat strength (<30%)
7️⃣ RECOMMENDED PRESETS (COPY THIS)
🔹 Intraday (Clean)
Timeframe: 5m / 15m
HTF: Daily
Session: India / NY
BB: OFF
Full ATR: OFF
SuperTrend: OFF
Pivots: OFF
🔹 Swing (Ultra Clean)
Timeframe: 1H / 4H
HTF: Weekly
Liquidity: ON
Zones: ON
Dashboard: ON (small)
8️⃣ GOLDEN RULE (MOST IMPORTANT)
If you cannot explain the trade using only:
Trend channel
One zone
One sweep
Do not trade it.
🏁 FINAL VERDICT
AMSC is not cluttered by design.
Clutter comes from turning everything ON.
Used correctly:
The chart stays clean
Decisions become obvious
Overtrading disappears

Adaptive Market Structure Channel — Visual Layout
5
🧭 How to READ the Chart (Left → Right)
1️⃣ Core Trend Context (FIRST thing your eyes see)
ATR Trend Channel
Acts as dynamic support/resistance
Green = bullish regime
Red = bearish regime
No second trendline competing with it
👉 If price is on the wrong side → no trade
2️⃣ Pivot ATR Structure Channel (SECOND layer)
Sloping channel following real swing structure
Shows:
Trend acceleration
Healthy pullbacks
Channel fill is very light (high transparency)
👉 Pullbacks inside this channel are valid
👉 Breaks outside = caution / exit
3️⃣ Supply & Demand Zones (ONLY horizontal objects)
Few, wide, soft-colored zones
No pivot clutter, no fibs, no grids
👉 Trades happen only here
4️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Markers (EVENT-BASED)
Appears only near zones
Indicates stop-hunt, not entry by itself
👉 Sweep + zone + trend = setup
👉 Sweep alone = ignore
5️⃣ Dashboard (Decision Support, not distraction)
Small
Corner-placed
Shows only:
Trend
Strength
HTF bias
Zone
Signal
Session
👉 After experience, you’ll barely look at it
🚫 What You DO NOT See (Very Important)
A clean AMSC chart intentionally avoids:
Multiple moving averages
Pivot levels (P/R/S)
Too many channels
Oscillator panels
Bright fills or thick lines
If your chart looks “busy”, something is ON that should be OFF.
🧠 Mental Model (Keep This Image in Mind)
AMSC chart =
1 dynamic trend
1 structure channel
1 zone
1 liquidity event
1 decision
Anything more → clutter
Anything less → blind trading
✅ Final Visual Checklist (Before Trading)
✔ Chart background visible
✔ Candles clearly readable
✔ Zones visible but not loud
✔ Channel guides the eye
✔ Nothing overlaps price excessively
If yes → you are trading AMSC correctly
HTF Long/Short 1hr This is one of my latest algo it helps with your long and short bias for GC on the 1HR HTF
Aether | SkyWalker Cloud Algo☁️ Aether | SkyWalker Cloud Algo
The SkyWalker Cloud Algo is a high-confluence trend-following system designed to filter out market noise and capture significant volatility expansions. By combining a sensitive trailing stop engine (UT Bot) with a "Tri-Factor" of momentum, volume, and trend filters, this script visualizes the market as a navigational flight path—keeping you in the clear "Blue Sky" during uptrends and alerting you to "Storms" during downtrends.
🧠 The Logic Behind the Cloud
This script is not just a buy/sell signal generator; it is a Confluence Engine. A signal is only generated when the core cloud logic aligns with specific atmospheric conditions (Filters).
1. The Core Engine: Variable Sensitivity Cloud (UT Bot)
At its heart, the script uses a modified ATR Trailing Stop (often known as the UT Bot).
Ascend (Bullish): When price breaks above the trailing "Updraft" line.
Descend (Bearish): When price breaks below the trailing "Downdraft" line.
Customization: You can tweak the Sensitivity (ATR Period) and Smoothness (Key Value) to fit any timeframe, from scalping (1m) to swing trading (4H+).
2. The Confluence Filters (The Weather System)
To prevent false signals in choppy markets, the "SkyWalker" logic checks three distinct market forces before confirming a trade:
🌬️ Prevailing Wind (Supertrend): Ensures you are trading in the direction of the macro trend. If the wind is against you, the signal is grounded.
🌡️ Atmospheric Pressure (QQE Mod): Uses a smoothed RSI with volatility bands to detect genuine momentum shifts. It ensures there is enough "pressure" to sustain the move.
💧 Vapor Flow (Chaikin Money Flow): Analyzes volume flow. A Buy signal requires positive money flow (Inflow), and a Sell requires negative money flow (Outflow).
3. Market Structure (SMC)
Optional Filter: You can enable the SMC Structure Alignment in the settings. This forces the algorithm to only take Longs when the market is making Higher Highs and Shorts when making Lower Lows, adding an extra layer of safety.
🌤️ Visuals & The "Flight Deck"
The script completely overhauls the standard chart visual to keep your focus on price action and targets.
Aether Mist: The space between the price and the trailing stop is filled with a dynamic cloud, providing an instant visual read on trend strength.
Dynamic Targets (TP/SL): When a signal fires, the script automatically projects Take Profit and Stop Loss lines on your chart based on volatility (ATR). These lines update in real-time.
The Flight Deck (Dashboard): Located in the corner of your chart, this panel provides a real-time status report of your filters (Wind, Barometer, Flow) and tracks the "Flight Accuracy" (Win Rate) of the signals on the current chart history.
🛠️ How to Use
Entry: Wait for a "🌤️ ASCEND" (Long) or "⛈️ DESCEND" (Short) label. This confirms that price has broken the cloud and all enabled filters (Supertrend, QQE, CMF) are in agreement.
Stop Loss: Place your initial stop at the dotted white line provided by the signal.
Take Profit: Aim for the dashed colored line (Dynamic TP). Alternatively, you can ride the trend until the Cloud changes color.
Trailing: If the "Show Trailing Cloud" option is on, the SL line will move with the price, locking in profits as the trend continues.
⚙️ Settings Overview
Updraft/Downdraft Sensitivity: Lower numbers = faster signals (scalping); Higher numbers = fewer signals (swinging).
Confluence Group: Toggle the Supertrend, QQE, or CMF filters on/off individually to loosen or tighten the strategy.
Visuals: Toggle the Dashboard, TP/SL lines, or the background cloud fill.

FranPL - Psychological LevelsIt automatically draws horizontal lines fixed to the right-hand price scale at every price level ending in 00, 20, 50, and 80. These levels are commonly watched by traders as areas where price often reacts, pauses, or reverses.
The lines remain anchored to price, updating dynamically as the market moves, and stay aligned with the price scale rather than drifting with time. The indicator works across all markets and timeframes.
FranPL is fully customizable through the settings, allowing the user to adjust the line color, thickness, and length, making it easy to match personal chart preferences while keeping the chart clean and uncluttered.
Overall, FranPL provides a clear, consistent visual framework for identifying important psychological levels to support entries, exits, and risk management.
Toby Crabel's HisVolAs in Linda Raschke's Street smarts..... . This indicator shows the signals of Toby Crabel's Historical Volatility 6/100 strategy. The strategy assumes, that volatility contraction measured by two measures would give better results.
There is one other script that is a strategy , but it assumes that the signal requires both inside bar and narrowest range, what is not as in Linda Raschke's.
The strategy and what does the script do:
1) measures short-term unannualized volatility (by default six), long term uannualized volatility (by default 100), and measures the ratio of short volatility / long volatility.
2) checks if the current bar is an inside bar or has narrowest range out of last X bar (by default 4), or both,
3) puts an etiquette if short volatility / long volatility is equal to or smaller than 0,5 AND the day is inside bar, has narrowest range, or both.
Next day both buy-stop and sell-stop should be set. Buy-stop at the high and sell-stop at the low of the bar with etiquette.
This is by no means any financial advice, nor the historical results guarantee future gain.
TQ Gold Trend (Macro Regime)This indicator answers one question only:
Is gold in a monetary uptrend right now?
It does not:
Forecast prices
Time entries
Use momentum or volatility
It simply classifies the macro trend regime of gold.
3️⃣ Logic (Simple, Explicit)
Timeframe: Weekly
Indicator: 30-week Simple Moving Average
Interpretation:
Bullish: Price above a rising 30W SMA
Bearish: Price below a falling 30W SMA
Neutral: Everything else (transition / range)
This is classic macro trend / stage analysis, adapted for gold as a monetary asset.
4️⃣ How to Use It (User Instructions)
How to read the chart
>If Gold is Bull, precious metals matter.
>If Gold is Bear, ignore silver and miners.
>If Gold is Neutral, wait — no edge.
Best use
Check once per week
Use as the first filter before looking at:
Gold/DXY
Gold/SPY
Silver/Gold
Recommended timeframe
Weekly only (designed for macro regimes, not trading)
Reversal Trading ChecklistUse to grade your reversal trades before execution.
Middle Half of hour refers to :15ish-:45ish when reversals are higher probability. After :45-:15 reversals have lower chance of occurring. Not a super highly weighted item but it will help.
COMD - Candle Coloring Logic V2 Custom KAMA Ribbon is an early-stage trend analysis system built around five adaptive moving averages stacked into a ribbon that colors price candles in real time. It was created by xqweasdzxcv during a phase of aggressive strategy experimentation, back when throwing clever math at the market still felt like it might solve everything (spoiler alert, it did, and all the world will see soon in the following few years). The tool visualizes shifting trend strength through adaptive smoothing, giving a cleaner read than standard moving averages, but it eventually got outclassed by more advanced, structure-driven models.
This version survives as a fossil from the evolutionary path of project Patron (the Core Of My Desire is just a base). It still matters, not because it is the best, but because this is part of a true legend and because it shows how adaptive moving average stacking was used to build smarter trend filters before the really serious weapons came online.
Multi-Filter Momentum Candle Strategy (Non-Repaint)Momentum Candle Precision Scanner is a price action–based indicator designed to detect high-quality momentum candles after consolidation phases.
It combines candle structure analysis, volume confirmation, ATR control, consolidation filtering, and higher timeframe EMA trend alignment to reduce false signals.
⚠️ This indicator is NOT standalone and MUST be used together with an external RSI indicator.
RSI is intentionally not included in the script to allow traders full flexibility in choosing their preferred RSI settings.
🎯 Purpose
This indicator helps traders:
Identify valid impulsive candles, not just large candles
Avoid entries during sideways or consolidation zones
Trade in alignment with the higher timeframe trend
Improve entry selectivity through a scoring-based validation system
⚙️ Core Logic Explained
1️⃣ Momentum Candle Structure
Candle body must fall within a predefined pip range
Minimum body-to-range ratio is required
Upper and lower wick percentages are strictly limited
This helps filter out candles caused by noise or fake breakouts.
2️⃣ Volume Confirmation
Current volume must be above its moving average
Ensures momentum is supported by market participation
3️⃣ ATR-Based Control
Candle body size is capped using ATR
Prevents signals during abnormal volatility spikes (e.g., news events)
4️⃣ Consolidation Filter (Box & Core Zone)
A dynamic price box is built from recent candles
Signals are ignored inside the core consolidation zone
Focuses entries on breakout or expansion phases
5️⃣ Scoring System
Each candle is evaluated using a weighted score:
Candle body quality
Wick structure
Volume strength
ATR validity
Position relative to consolidation
Signals are triggered only when the minimum score threshold is met.
📈 Trend Filtering (EMA HTF & Current TF)
Higher Timeframe EMA defines the main trend direction
Current Timeframe EMA reflects local momentum
Options available:
Trade with HTF trend only
Or allow counter-trend signals (user controlled)
🚨 Alert Feature
Alerts can trigger minutes before candle close
Designed for traders who wait for near-close confirmation
⚠️ IMPORTANT – RSI IS REQUIRED
This indicator does NOT include RSI internally.
📌 You must add an external RSI indicator and use it as:
Additional momentum confirmation
Overbought / oversold filter
Trend strength validation
👉 General RSI usage example:
Buy setups → RSI above 50 and strengthening
Sell setups → RSI below 50 and weakening
(Users are free to adapt RSI settings to their own strategy.)
🛠️ Recommended Usage
Best suited for M5
Optimized for XAUUSD
Can be adapted to other instruments by adjusting pip size
📌 Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool, not a trading system.
No guarantees of profitability. Always apply proper risk management, RSI confirmation, and personal backtesting before live trading.
hap adxAdaptive ADX & DI Color Bars – Indicator Description
This indicator is an advanced ADX-based momentum and trend strength visualizer.
Instead of displaying raw ADX and DI values only, it dynamically changes bar colors
based on the relationship between ADX, +DI, and −DI, making market conditions
instantly readable.
Core Logic:
- Rising ADX indicates increasing momentum and trend strength
- Falling ADX signals weakening trend or transition to range
- +DI vs −DI defines bullish or bearish directional control
Color States:
Strong Bullish Trend:
- ADX is rising
- +DI is above −DI
- Shows strong bullish momentum and trend continuation
Weak / Early Bullish:
- +DI above −DI
- ADX flat or weakening
- Trend exists but momentum is not fully confirmed
Strong Bearish Trend:
- ADX is rising
- −DI is above +DI
- Strong bearish dominance and continuation
Weak / Early Bearish:
- −DI above +DI
- ADX weakening
- Selling pressure exists but momentum is fading
No-Trade / Range Zone:
- ADX is low or clearly declining
- +DI and −DI are close or frequently crossing
- Market is ranging or indecisive
Why This Indicator Is Useful:
- Removes the need to interpret raw ADX values
- Visually highlights trend strength, weakness, and transitions
- Helps avoid low-quality trades during weak momentum
- Works perfectly as a trend filter for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Best Use Cases:
- Trend confirmation
- Momentum filtering
- Entry quality validation
- Avoiding false breakouts in low ADX conditions
Simple Trend Context [Wall_Journey]Simple Trend Context MA: Dynamic Market Bias Visualizer
Overview The Simple Trend Context MA is a visual-oriented trading tool designed to identify the prevailing market trend at a glance. By utilizing two Simple Moving Averages (Fast and Slow), this script provides a clear "Context" for your trades, helping you avoid trading against the primary momentum.
How it Works The indicator calculates two key SMA periods:
Fast MA (Default: 20) : Captures short-term momentum.
Slow MA (Default: 50) : Represents the broader trend direction.
Key Features
Dynamic Background Shading: The chart background automatically changes color based on the trend. A Green background indicates a Bullish trend (Fast MA > Slow MA), while a Red background indicates a Bearish trend (Fast MA < Slow MA).
Real-time Trend Label: A dynamic label appears on the most recent bar, explicitly stating the current market context (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral).
Highly Customizable: You can easily adjust the MA lengths to suit your specific strategy, whether you are scalping or swing trading.
Why use this? Many traders fail because they lose sight of the "Big Picture." This script ensures that the trend context is always visible, serving as a powerful filter for your entry signals.
