Mandelbrot-Fibonacci Cascade Vortex (MFCV)Mandelbrot-Fibonacci Cascade Vortex (MFCV) - Where Chaos Theory Meets Sacred Geometry
A Revolutionary Synthesis of Fractal Mathematics and Golden Ratio Dynamics
What began as an exploration into Benoit Mandelbrot's fractal market hypothesis and the mysterious appearance of Fibonacci sequences in nature has culminated in a groundbreaking indicator that reveals the hidden mathematical structure underlying market movements. This indicator represents months of research into chaos theory, fractal geometry, and the golden ratio's manifestation in financial markets.
The Theoretical Foundation
Mandelbrot's Fractal Market Hypothesis Traditional efficient market theory assumes normal distributions and random walks. Mandelbrot proved markets are fractal - self-similar patterns repeating across all timeframes with power-law distributions. The MFCV implements this through:
Hurst Exponent Calculation: H = log(R/S) / log(n/2)
Where:
R = Range of cumulative deviations
S = Standard deviation
n = Period length
This measures market memory:
H > 0.5: Trending (persistent) behavior
H = 0.5: Random walk
H < 0.5: Mean-reverting (anti-persistent) behavior
Fractal Dimension: D = 2 - H
This quantifies market complexity, where higher dimensions indicate more chaotic behavior.
Fibonacci Vortex Theory Markets don't move linearly - they spiral. The MFCV reveals these spirals using Fibonacci sequences:
Vortex Calculation: Vortex(n) = Price + sin(bar_index × φ / Fn) × ATR(Fn) × Volume_Factor
Where:
φ = 0.618 (golden ratio)
Fn = Fibonacci number (8, 13, 21, 34, 55)
Volume_Factor = 1 + (Volume/SMA(Volume,50) - 1) × 0.5
This creates oscillating spirals that contract and expand with market energy.
The Volatility Cascade System
Markets exhibit volatility clustering - Mandelbrot's "Noah Effect." The MFCV captures this through cascading volatility bands:
Cascade Level Calculation: Level(i) = ATR(20) × φ^i
Each level represents a different fractal scale, creating a multi-dimensional view of market structure. The golden ratio spacing ensures harmonic resonance between levels.

Signal Generation Logic
The MFCV generates two primary signal types:
Fractal Signals: Generated when:
Hurst > 0.65 (strong trend) AND volatility expanding
Hurst < 0.35 (mean reversion) AND RSI < 35
Trend strength > 0.4 AND vortex alignment
Cascade Signals: Triggered by:
RSI > 60 AND price > SMA(50) AND bearish vortex
RSI < 40 AND price < SMA(50) AND bullish vortex
Volatility expansion AND trend strength > 0.3
Both signals implement a 15-bar cooldown to prevent overtrading.

Gann Single SwingGann Single Swing Indicator
The Gann Single Swing indicator is a sophisticated tool rooted in the geometric and cyclical market analysis principles pioneered by William Delbert Gann. Designed for traders who value deep market structure analysis, this indicator leverages the interplay of price and time to identify key support and resistance zones, potential reversal points, and critical price-time synchronization areas. Its unique approach makes it an invaluable instrument for those employing Gann-based methodologies or seeking a systematic way to decode complex market dynamics.
What It Does
The Gann Single Swing indicator is built to pinpoint high-probability zones for price action, such as support and resistance levels, where traders can logically initiate long or short positions. By analyzing a user-defined price swing (a move between two selected points, such as a local high and low), the indicator constructs a geometric framework that reveals hidden patterns in market movements. It identifies:
Support and Resistance Zones: Key price levels where the market is likely to reverse or consolidate.
Temporal Reversal Zones: Specific time periods where price reversals are more probable due to time-price resonance.
Price-Time Synchronization Points: Areas where price and time align to signal potential market turning points.
How It Works
The indicator’s algorithm is grounded in Gann’s geometric principles, focusing on the relationship between price movements and time cycles. Here’s a high-level overview of its process:
Swing Selection: Traders select two key points on the chart (e.g., a local minimum and maximum) to define a price swing.
Channel Construction: The swing is encapsulated within a dynamic channel, forming the foundation of the geometric model.
Gann Fan Application: A Gann Fan is applied to the channel to calculate critical angles, representing the balance between price and time. These angles help identify resonant points that align with the channel’s central axis.
Squared Channel Analysis: The algorithm creates “squared” channels, geometrically derived sub-structures, analyzed for intersections and alignments to project external support and resistance zones beyond the base swing.
Internal Zone Mapping: Within the base swing, a reverse Gann Fan maps internal zones, highlighting areas of price-time convergence that may act as dynamic support or resistance.
Zone Projection: The indicator synthesizes these calculations to plot precise zones of support, resistance, and potential reversals, both spatially (price levels) and temporally (time-based zones).
While the exact mathematical formulations remain proprietary, the indicator relies on time-tested Gann techniques, such as angle-based analysis and cyclical resonance, to deliver actionable insights.
How to Use It
Select the Swing: Identify two significant points on the chart (e.g., a recent high and low) to define the swing. These points serve as the anchor for the indicator’s calculations.
Interpret the Zones: The indicator plots support and resistance zones (both price-based and time-based). Look for price action near these zones to identify potential entry or exit points.
Combine with Other Tools: For best results, use alongside other Gann-based tools (e.g., Gann Squares or Time Cycles) or traditional technical analysis (e.g., trendlines, Fibonacci levels) to confirm signals.
Monitor Temporal Zones: Pay attention to time-based reversal zones, as they may indicate when a price move is likely to occur, enhancing trade timing.
Why It’s Unique
Unlike conventional indicators that rely on moving averages, RSI, or other common metrics, the Gann Single Swing indicator offers a proprietary blend of Gann’s geometric and cyclical principles. Its ability to integrate price and time into a cohesive model sets it apart, providing traders with a deeper understanding of market structure. The indicator does not use public domain code or standard technical indicators, ensuring originality and value for traders seeking advanced tools.
Who It’s For
This indicator is ideal for:
Traders familiar with Gann’s methodologies who want to automate and enhance their geometric analysis.
Advanced traders looking to uncover hidden market patterns through price-time relationships.
Those seeking a robust, non-traditional tool for identifying high-probability trade setups.
The Gann Single Swing indicator is not a black-box forecasting tool but a powerful framework for dissecting market behavior. By combining user-defined inputs with sophisticated geometric calculations, it empowers traders to make informed decisions based on the timeless principles of Gann’s market philosophy.
Price equilibrium between buyers and sellers [Soroush Rezaei]This indicator visualizes the dynamic balance between buyers and sellers using two simple moving averages (SMAs) based on the high and low prices.
The green line (SMA of highs) reflects the upper pressure zone, while the red line (SMA of lows) represents the lower support zone.
When price hovers between these two levels, it often signals a state of temporary equilibrium — a consolidation zone where buyers and sellers are relatively balanced.
Use this tool to:
Identify ranging or balanced market phases
Spot potential breakout or reversal zones
Enhance your multi-timeframe or price action strategy
Recommended for intraday and swing traders seeking visual clarity on market structure and momentum zones.
Time LevelsTime Levels is a customizable TradingView indicator designed to mark critical intraday price levels based on specific time inputs. This tool helps traders identify significant Open/High/Low/Close (OHLC) levels, support & resistance (S&R) zones, and potential Judas Swing manipulation points—aligned with selected timeframes and adjusted to any time zone via UTC offset.
🔧 Key Features:

Support & Resistance Zones: Highlights two time-based S&R levels that can help identify discount and premium pricing zones.
Judas Swing Detection: Marks potential liquidity grab zones (Judas Swings) at three user-defined times, assisting in identifying manipulation and smart money entry points.
Global Timezone Support: Includes a UTC offset input to align levels accurately with your trading session, regardless of your location.
Full Customization: Personalize the color, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and thickness of each line independently for OHLC, S&R, and Judas levels.
🛠️ Use Cases:
New York / London open price tracking
ICT-based SMC level marking
Predefined time-based liquidity level visualizations
Institutional-level price reactions (e.g., during specific market opens)
This indicator is best suited for intraday and short-term (especially ICT) traders looking to bring precision and consistency into their technical analysis framework.
Enhanced Daily Sentiment & Auction Area Trading StrategyDetermine Daily Sentiment (Anchor Chart - Daily TF):
Analyze Yesterday's Daily Candle: Look at the previous day's daily candlestick (high, low, open, close). This is the "most important information."
Establish Bias: If yesterday's candle was bullish (closed higher), the bias for today is generally long (approx. 80% of the time). If bearish, the bias is short.
Moving Average Context: Note if the daily price is above or below its short-term moving average (e.g., 21 or 50 MA). This should align with the candle's bias (e.g., bullish daily candle above its MA).
Pre-Market & Opening Analysis (Information Gathering):
Check for Gaps: Observe if the market is gapping up or down in the pre-market session relative to yesterday's close. This provides an early clue to current sentiment.
Consider Overall Sentiment: Briefly factor in relevant news or overarching market sentiment (e.g., data releases, overall market feeling from yields, gold etc.). Trading Window: Focus primarily on trading within the first hour of the U.S. market open, as this is when volatility is typically highest, which the strategy relies on.
Setup 5-Minute Chart for Execution (Trading TF - 5-min):
Apply Moving Average: Use the same short-term moving average (e.g., 21 or 50 MA) as on the daily chart.
Seek Alignment (Crucial): The 5-minute chart's trend and price action relative to its MA must align with the daily chart's bias and MA relationship.
If Daily bias is LONG (price above daily MA), the 5-minute chart should also show price establishing itself above its 5-min MA, ideally with a similar "45-degree angle" uptrend.
If Daily bias is SHORT (price below daily MA), the 5-minute chart should also show price establishing itself below its 5-min MA, with a similar downtrend. If there's no clear alignment between the daily and 5-minute chart structure/MA, do not trade.
Identify the "Auction Area" (Value/Congestion) on the 5-Minute Chart:
This is a recent area of congestion, a small support/resistance flip, or where price has paused, consolidated, and is retesting, often near the 5-minute MA.
Uptrend (Long Bias): Look for a pullback (a small "V" shape dip) towards the 5-minute MA or a recent small resistance-turned-support area. This is the "auction retest" before a potential breakout higher.
Downtrend (Short Bias): Look for a pullback rally (an inverted "V" shape) towards the 5-minute MA or a recent small support-turned-resistance area.

[RenkoCore] PublicWhen it comes the Renko chart, we all know it has its advantages & disadvantages compared to the candle-stick chart. My aim of this was to alleviate some of the disadvantages by providing some sort of structure on Renko chart. These set of tools may hopefully help your trading journey on Renko chart.
Helpful tips:
a) Enable wicks on your Renko settings, this indicator needs wicks to work.
b) Choose correct size (I recommend traditional size option) for your Renko chart as well as for your instrument.
c) Keep it on 1-second time frame, anything other than that doesn't work on TradingView's Renko. This is important as price will not repaint.
d) If you want to see bigger picture (like 4hr/daily on candle-stick chart), just increase your Renko size, but still keep it on 1-second timeframe.
This toolset includes couple different methods to provide some structures as explained below:
1. 📌 Balance | Price Action Equilibrium Zones
Overview
The Balance is a visual framework designed to evaluate directional bias and internal structure in price action. It measures net bullish/bearish momentum within a configurable rolling window, while highlighting key structural turning points based on multiple custom sensitivity levels. This tool helps traders stay in sync with market rhythm by emphasizing balance, imbalance, and inflection zones.
🔧 How It Works:
Inflection Tiers
Three customizable rounds of pivot-based divergence detection—labeled as 1°, 2°, and 3°—automatically identify regular bullish and regular bearish pivot structures. Though may not be always accurate, these structural signals are intended to keep user's focus to continually reflect emerging internal market shifts.
Balance Limit
Monitors directional bar disparity within a customizable retrospective span. When the net balance exceeds ±50% of the range, the line turns green to suggest strong directional bias. A red fill zone between these thresholds indicates equilibrium or no-trade conditions.
Volatility Based Reversal (Candle Reversal Detector)
This tool scans for extreme price movements relative to local volatility baselines, helping traders detect possible tops and bottoms before major price reversals or pauses. Compares current price action to the lowest recent volatility anchor or if price sharply dips below the highest recent volatility anchor.
🧠 Use Case Recommendations:
Discretionary trading to visually confirm balance and momentum shifts.
Confluence strategies, combining the balance counter with trend indicators or support/resistance levels.
Structure mapping, to highlight exhaustion zones or emerging reversals based on internal divergences.
Avoid using this tool in isolation. It is most effective when combined with broader market context or other confirmation layers.
2. 📌 Primary Level Detection
Overview
This is a precision tool for detecting dynamic price zones where significant market reversals may begin. Using a blend of momentum, price tension, and volatility structure, it identifies potential top and bottom areas — and tracks them with adaptive channel levels that evolve in real time.
🔧 How It Works:
Combines price action, RSI-based bias, and volatility deviation to identify moments when price is overextended.
Reacts only to major changes — reducing false positives in choppy markets.
Levels persist on the chart until a new valid reversal is confirmed, giving you visual structure and actionable areas to work with.
🧠 Use Case Recommendations:
Trading reversals, reversion-to-mean, or liquidity sweeps
Confirming entries from other indicators (like divergence, order blocks, or support/resistance)
Analyzing volatile markets where rapid direction changes are common (e.g., crypto, futures, scalping)
3. 📌 Secondary Level Detection
Overview
This tool highlights where price may be overextended and due for a short-term reversal, based on recent price structure.
🔧 How It Works:
It uses dynamic bar-count and swing conditions to identify potential price turning points after extended directional moves or strong sequence of bars in same direction.
Levels persist on the chart until a new valid reversal is confirmed, giving you visual structure and actionable areas to work with.
🧠 Use Case Recommendations:
Trading reversals, reversion-to-mean, or liquidity sweeps
Confirming entries from other indicators (like divergence, order blocks, or support/resistance)
⚠️ Important Notes:
This indicator does not repaint. All pivots and plots are based on closed candles and verified conditions.
This tool does not provide trade signals. It is a structural analysis tool intended to assist in discretionary decision-making. This indicator is for informational and educational purposes only. Use in combination with your own trading strategy, risk management, and market context. The signals generated do not guarantee outcomes and should not be used in isolation.
It is not intended to be financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or asset. Trading involves risk. Always do your own research and consult with a licensed financial advisor before making any trading decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

[TehThomas] - Previous Day/Week/Month High, Low, Open, CloseThis script is a powerful visual tool designed to automatically plot the key high, low, open, and close levels from the previous day, previous week, and previous month directly onto your active chart. These historical price levels are some of the most significant reference points for traders, often acting as natural magnets for price, areas of liquidity, or decision points where reversals, continuations, or fakeouts commonly occur.
Whether you’re a scalper working off intraday charts or a swing trader using higher timeframes, having these levels marked automatically keeps your chart structured and your strategy grounded in recent price behavior.
What This Script Displays on Your Chart
Once added to your chart, this script draws horizontal lines at the exact price levels where the previous day, week, and month ended or found their highs and lows. For each timeframe, you have full control over what’s shown, with toggle switches to enable or disable specific lines like:
Previous Day High and Low
Previous Day Open and Close
Previous Week High and Low
Previous Week Open and Close
Previous Month High and Low
Each level is color-coded, clearly labeled, and extended a set number of candles into the future so you can quickly identify which level is which. The labels are minimalist and clean, placed directly next to each line so they don’t distract from price action. This keeps your workspace visually organized without sacrificing context.
Why These Levels Are Important
These historical levels serve as psychological and technical anchors for the market. Traders and algorithms alike often react to the highs and lows of previous sessions, and open/close levels serve as polarity zones where support becomes resistance or vice versa.
Here are just a few practical uses:
Support and Resistance: Previous session highs and lows frequently act as strong areas where price reacts or consolidates.
Liquidity Zones: These levels often sit just above or below pools of stop-loss orders, making them common targets for liquidity grabs.
Market Context: Having previous opens and closes lets you see if price is trading above or below prior value areas, helping define bullish or bearish bias.
Entry and Exit Planning: Knowing where major levels sit helps refine your entries, manage risk, or take partial profits at high-probability reversal areas.
By automatically drawing these reference points, the script helps traders stay objective, focus on structure, and avoid emotional trading decisions.
How It Works Behind the Scenes
At the core, the script tracks the most recent completed daily, weekly, and monthly candles. It records the high, low, open, and close of those time periods and scans recent price history to find the exact bar where those levels were printed. Once found, it draws clean, extendable horizontal lines from those points forward on your chart.
The script includes built-in cleanup logic to ensure that only the latest relevant levels are visible. Whenever new session data becomes available, it removes old lines and replaces them with updated levels so your chart stays clean and accurate without any manual effort. You can also adjust how far these lines extend into the future, change their width, and personalize the colors to match your charting style.
This makes it a fully automatic, no-maintenance tool that always keeps your chart aligned with current session structure.
Whether you're watching for stop hunts at the previous week's high, looking for reaction zones around the prior day's close, or simply want to align your bias with institutional reference points, this script delivers the clean structure and clarity you need to trade more confidently and effectively.

Hybrid Heikin Ashi OverlayHybrid Heikin Ashi Overlay
I personally like Heikin Ashi for its simplicity in showing clean trends. However, it tends to smooth out price action so much that we sometimes miss key signals from the actual candles.
This indicator overlays Heikin Ashi-style background colors while keeping regular candles intact — giving you the best of both worlds:
• Smoother trend visibility
• No loss of execution precision
• Customizable colors & transparency
🔹 No repainting
🔹 No strategy logic — purely visual
🔹 Designed to reduce clutter and help traders stay focused on structure

Best EMA FinderThis script, Best EMA Finder, is based on the same original logic as the Best SMA Finder I published previously. Although it was not the initial goal of the project, several users asked for an EMA version, so here it is.
The script scans a wide range of Exponential Moving Average (EMA) lengths, from 10 to 500, and identifies the one that historically delivered the most robust performance on the current chart. The choice to stop at 500 is deliberate: beyond that point, EMA curves tend to flatten and converge, adding processing time without meaningful differences in signals or outcomes.
Each EMA is evaluated using a custom robustness score:
Profit Factor × log(Number of Trades) × sqrt(Win Rate)
Only EMA lengths that exceed a user-defined minimum number of trades are considered valid. Among these, the one with the highest robustness score is selected and displayed on the chart.
A table summarizes the results:
- Best EMA length
- Total number of trades
- Profit Factor
- Win Rate
- Robustness Score
You can adjust:
- Strategy type: Long Only or Buy & Sell
- Minimum number of trades required
- Table visibility
This script is designed for analysis and optimization only. It does not execute trades or handle position sizing. Only one open trade per direction is considered at a time.

Hull Moving Average RibbonGradient Wave HMA - Multi-Ribbon Hull Moving Average System
Overview
The Gradient Wave HMA is an advanced technical indicator that transforms Alan Hull's Hull Moving Average (HMA) into a dynamic multi-layered ribbon system. Unlike traditional moving average ribbons that use simple or exponential calculations, this indicator applies Hull's innovative lag-reduction formula across 12 different timeframes simultaneously, creating a visually striking gradient effect that flows with market momentum.
Technical Foundation
This indicator is built upon the Hull Moving Average, developed by Alan Hull in 2005. The HMA uses a weighted moving average calculation designed to almost eliminate lag while maintaining curve smoothness:
HMA = WMA(2*WMA(n/2) − WMA(n), sqrt(n))
Credit: Alan Hull (www.alanhull.com)
Key Features
Multi-Period Ribbon Structure
12 individual HMA lines with customizable periods
Preset configurations for different trading styles:
Fast: 3-30 period range (scalping/intraday)
Swing: 8-55 period range (swing trading)
Position: 20-100 period range (position trading)
Custom: User-defined periods
2. Neon Gradient Visualization
Bullish Gradient: Transitions from blue-purple to hot purple
Bearish Gradient: Flows from hot pink to purple-pink
Each line has a unique color in the spectrum
Gradient fills between lines create depth and visual flow
3. Advanced Alert System
Trend Reversal Alerts: Notifies when ribbon changes direction
Price Breakout Alerts: Triggers when price crosses the ribbon
Compression Alerts: Signals potential breakouts during consolidation
Expansion Alerts: Confirms strong trending conditions
Momentum Surge Alerts: Catches explosive moves early
How It Works
The indicator calculates 12 Hull Moving Averages, each with a different period length. The trend direction is determined by the middle HMA (6th line), which triggers the color change across the entire ribbon. When trending up, the ribbon displays a purple gradient; when trending down, it shifts to a pink gradient.
Trading Applications
1. Trend Identification
Ribbon color indicates overall trend direction
All lines moving in sync confirms strong trend
Mixed signals suggest choppy or transitioning markets
2. Dynamic Support/Resistance
In uptrends, the ribbon acts as moving support
In downtrends, it provides resistance levels
Multiple layers offer various strength levels
3. Momentum Analysis
Expanding ribbon = Increasing momentum
Contracting ribbon = Decreasing momentum/consolidation
Ribbon angle indicates trend strength
4. Trading Example
Advantages Over Traditional MAs
Reduced Lag: Hull's formula provides faster response than SMA/EMA ribbons
Visual Clarity: Gradient effect makes trend changes immediately visible
Multiple Timeframes: 12 periods provide comprehensive market view
Flexibility: Presets adapt to different trading styles
Best Practices
Use higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for position trading
Combine with volume indicators for confirmation
Watch for ribbon compression before major moves
Consider overall market conditions when interpreting signals
Customization Options
Adjust individual HMA periods
Fine-tune transparency for different backgrounds
Choose between WMA and EMA base calculations
The Gradient Wave HMA combines Alan Hull's breakthrough moving average formula with modern visualization techniques to create a powerful trend-following tool that's both technically sophisticated and visually intuitive.
NoNoiseMA & SlopeHappy trade,
This is a noise-reduced moving average — let's call it the No-Noise MA. A MA where false breakout price action should have little to no impact, while the main trend remains fully represented. In comparison to previous MAs this one's trend appear more linear, and sideways price actions becomes easier to detect thanks to it's unique two filter stages.
In short, the No-Noise-MA (Noise-Reduced Moving Average) is calculated as the cumulative sum of the slopes derived from the center line of the last x pivot points. Let’s break it down step by step:
Pivot Detection:
A pivot algorithm (an adapted variant of the Bilson-Gann-Count method) identifies consecutive pivot points (high, low, high, low, etc.) in the close price series. Let's call this set of Pivots S.
Center Line Calculation:
Out of the set S the last x pivots are used to compute a center line (linear regression line). Always when a new pivot is confirmed, the oldest pivot in the queue is removed, and the new pivot is added.
Slope Extraction:
The center line is defined by its equation shown in the image below
Image 1
Cumulative Slope Sum:
As shown in the image 1 the slope is a series with values around zero. The No-Noise-MA is then just the cumulative sum of the slope series and a correction term. A correction term is needed otherwise the No-Noise-MA would run away over time from the original close price. The correction term is just the deviation between close price and cumulative slope sum multiply with a factor around 0.01 added to the No-Noise-MA.
Noise Reduction:
The goal of noise reduction is done by two filter stages. First Filter is the reduction of the input values. As shown above not all bars close prices are use, instead it uses just the pivot points delivered by the Bilson-Gann-Count method. Favorable the Bilson-Gann-Count method delivers the Pivot points in most cases much faster as other Pivot methods. Already after two bars a new Pivot is confirmed. This takes out all ups and downs between two consecutive Pivots. This first filter stage is legit because all price action in between is hedged by the Pivots.
The second filter stage is the done by the length of the center line. As more pivots are used to calculate the center line as smoother the slope becomes. Out liners just gets less impact if the base is bigger. So the number of involved Pivots has the same meaning as the lengths in any other MA.
Comparison with usual MAs:
For a comparison with other MAs this script also calculate the average lengths of the center line, shown in the upper right chart. So choose for example SMA and set the length parameter to the average length of the center line. As shown in the following image 2.
Image 2
This way both MAs have the same data base and can be objectively compared.
Trend detection:
The slope of the center line can be used for trend confirmation. A slope bigger then zero is an up trend while a slope smaller then zero is a down trend. And side way price action is indicated when the slope is around zero within a certain threshold.
Image 3
One hint should be mentioned here. The side way section gets indicated much later. About the number of bars as the center line is long. Before that there are just up or down trend predicted. In the image 2 you see the slope is firstly tin and as more bars past by the slope becomes more thick. This should indicate the point where no side way predictions will happens anymore.
Variation of calculation
In the settings menu you can find the setting "Include last close to center line". With this activated the center line is calculated with the last pivots and the last close price. The last close price is assumed as a pivot too. This gives the slope a more early reaction to volatile price action. But also brings back some noise.
