Inside and Outside Bar@55Explanation
Definition of Inside Bar:
Loose Definition: The high and low of the current candlestick are both within the high and low range of the previous candlestick.
Strict Definition: One extreme value (either high or low) of the current candlestick is equal to that of the previous candlestick, while the other extreme value falls within the range of the previous candlestick.
Definition of Outside Bar:
Loose Definition: The high of the current candlestick is higher than that of the previous candlestick, and the low of the current candlestick is lower than that of the previous candlestick.
Strict Definition: One extreme value (either high or low) of the current candlestick is equal to that of the previous candlestick, while the other extreme value breaks through the range of the previous candlestick.
plotshape Function: If an inside bar or outside bar is detected, the letter i (for inside bar) or o (for outside bar) will be displayed above the corresponding candlestick.
Parameters:
tightInside: When this toggle is enabled, the definition of an inside bar will be more strict, meaning one extreme value equals that of the previous candlestick and the other extreme value stays within the range of the previous candlestick.
tightOutside: When this toggle is enabled, the definition of an outside bar will be more strict, meaning one extreme value equals that of the previous candlestick and the other extreme value breaks through the range of the previous candlestick.
Trend Analizi
CAP - CSI [Auto-MTF]The CAP - CSI is a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) tool based on the principles of Lars von Thienen’s "Dynamic Cycles." While traditional oscillators often fail in trending markets by staying "pinned" at extremes, the CSI uses a recursive dual-thrust processor to isolate the underlying market rhythm, helping traders identify when a cycle is genuinely exhausted.
Core Methodology
This script implements a Cycle Swing Momentum processor. It calculates the difference between short-term and long-term "thrusts" to extract the dominant cycle from price action. Unlike static indicators, it uses Dynamic Percentile Banding to adapt its overbought and oversold levels based on the market's recent "cyclic memory."
Key Features
Pivot Point Detection: Identifies exhaustion when the CSI extends outside its dynamic bands and begins to pivot back toward the mean.
Trend-Aware Coloring: The area fill uses slope-based logic to differentiate between "Rising/Falling" momentum and "Bullish/Bearish" strong zones.
HTF (5x): Built-in logic to define the larger cycle trend. I recommend using a 5x multiplier (e.g., viewing 4H cycles on a 1H chart) to ensure you are trading with the macro flow.
Zero Line Equilibrium: Clear visualization of the cycle's position relative to its center-point to determine the current market regime.
The "Trending" Challenge
A common pitfall with DSP-based cycle tools is that they can generate "phantom" signals during powerful, linear trending conditions. This script is my attempt to solve that by integrating HTF confluence and slope-based filtering. It is specifically optimized for:
Futures: ES, NQ, RTY, and GC.
US Equities: (NVDA, TSLA, etc.).
Additional tip, search for Strong relative strength Symbols, I've created this script : CAP - Mansfield Relative Strength, but there are many there "Mansfield Relative Strength" indicators available.
Why I am sharing this
This is an ongoing project. I am releasing this to the public to connect with other traders interested in Lars von Thienen’s work or John Ehlers’ DSP techniques. My goal is to collaborate with the community to refine the processor further and build a consistent, profitable system that can distinguish between a cycle turn and a trend continuation.

GCM Quantum Strike: VMDPB & MarubozuTitle Field: GCM Quantum Strike: VMDPB & Marubozu
Description:
GCM Quantum Strike is a comprehensive technical analysis suite designed to visualize Momentum (Marubozu), Trend (Ribbons/DEMA), and Key Levels (PDHL/VWAP) on a single overlay.
The core innovation of this script is the "Phantom Mode" Marubozu Engine, a custom coding technique designed to solve the issue of color transparency mixing on overlay charts.
Originality & Concept
Standard scripts often struggle when highlighting specific candle patterns; drawing a highlight over an existing candle results in muddy, mixed colors due to transparency blending.
GCM Quantum Strike solves this using a unique logic flow:
1. Detection: It scans price action for Marubozu candles based on strict ATR (Volatility) and Percentage (Body/Wick) requirements.
2. Phantom Mode: When a signal is found, the script programmatically turns the original chart bar 100% invisible (color.rgb(0,0,0,100)).
3. Reconstruction: It instantly draws a new, Solid (100% Opacity) custom candle in that exact space.
This results in crisp, "Quantum" styled signals that pop off the screen without blending with the background or previous themes.
How it Works & Key Features
1. The Marubozu Engine (GM / RM)
• Logic: A candle is identified as a Marubozu if:
o Size: The range exceeds a user-defined multiple of the ATR (14).
o Body: Occupies >80% (default) of the total range.
o Wicks: Occupy <10% (default) of the total range.
• Visuals:
o GM (Green Marubozu): Signals strong Bullish influx.
o RM (Red Marubozu): Signals strong Bearish influx.
o Both are rendered in solid Neon Green/Red.
2. Trend Ribbons & Averages
• EMA Ribbons: A visual ribbon formed by EMA 5, 9, 15, and SMA 20. The color intensity changes based on the slope alignment, helping identify the strength of the immediate trend.
• VWMA 20 (Volume Weighted): Plots in Light Blue (Rising) or Orange (Falling). This helps confirm if price moves are backed by volume.
• DEMA 100 (Step-Line): A Double EMA plotted as a step-line to act as a clear, non-noisy baseline for the long-term trend.
3. Institutional Levels
• PDH / PDL: The Previous Day's High and Low are fetched from daily data (non-repainting) and plotted as "Cross" markers. These often act as strong intraday magnets or reversal points.
• VWAP: The classic Session Volume Weighted Average Price (Yellow).
• Bollinger Bands: Standard 2.0 deviation bands to visualize volatility expansion and contraction.
How to Use
This script is designed for "Confluence Trading." Do not rely on one signal alone; look for agreement among the indicators.
1. The Setup: Wait for the EMA Ribbons and VWMA 20 to align in color (e.g., Green/Blue for Buy).
2. The Trigger: Look for a GM (Green Marubozu) label. This indicates a high-momentum breakout or trend continuation candle.
3. The Validation: Ensure the GM candle closes outside the EMA ribbons or above the VWAP.
4. The Targets: Use the PDH (Red Crosses) or Upper Bollinger Band as logical take-profit zones.
Settings
• Marubozu Settings: Fully adjustable. You can change the Min Body %, Max Shadow %, and ATR Multiplier to filter out smaller candles during choppy markets.
• Moving Averages: Adjust lengths for VWMA, SMA, and DEMA.
• Toggles: Every component (PDHL, BB, Ribbons) can be toggled on/off to keep your chart clean.
Volume Weighted CandlesVWC Key features:
Volume Scaling: Each candle's body size is multiplied by the volume ratio (current volume vs. average volume)
Maintains Price Accuracy: The candles stay centered around the true midpoint between open and close
Visual Volume Feedback: High-volume candles appear larger, low-volume candles appear smaller
Adjustable Parameters:
Volume Lookback Period (default 20): How many bars to use for calculating average volume
Scale Factor (default 1.0): Adjusts how dramatically volume affects candle size
Show Original Candles: Toggle to see the original candles in the background for comparison
Visual Cues:
Green/red candles for bullish/bearish moves
Background highlighting when volume is exceptionally high (>1.5x avg) or low (<0.5x avg)
Wicks remain at actual high/low prices for accuracy
The indicator helps you quickly identify which price movements had significant volume behind them, making it easier to spot strong momentum moves versus low-conviction price action.
Prism Band Dynamics [JOAT]Prism Band Dynamics - Bollinger-Style Bands with Force Detection
Introduction and Purpose
Prism Band Dynamics is an open-source overlay indicator that creates dynamic Bollinger-style bands with an innovative "force detection" system. The core problem this indicator solves is that standard Bollinger Bands show volatility but don't indicate directional momentum. When all three band components (upper, lower, basis) move in the same direction, it indicates strong directional force that standard bands don't highlight.
This indicator addresses that by detecting when all band components align directionally, providing a clear signal of market force.
Why Force Detection Matters
Standard Bollinger Bands expand and contract based on volatility, but they don't tell you about directional momentum. Force detection adds this dimension:
1. Bullish Force - Upper band, lower band, AND basis all moving up together. This indicates strong upward momentum where even the lower support level is rising.
2. Bearish Force - Upper band, lower band, AND basis all moving down together. This indicates strong downward momentum where even the upper resistance level is falling.
3. Neutral - Mixed movement indicates consolidation or uncertainty.
How Force Detection Works
bool upperUp = upper > upper
bool lowerUp = lower > lower
bool basisUp = basis > basis
int forceFull = if upperUp and lowerUp and basisUp
1 // Bullish force
else if upperDn and lowerDn and basisDn
-1 // Bearish force
else
0 // Neutral
Additional Features
Squeeze Detection - Identifies when band width contracts below threshold, often preceding large moves
Gradient Fills - Color intensity reflects force strength
Direction Change Arrows - Visual markers when force direction shifts
Dashboard Information
Force - Current force status (BULLISH/BEARISH/NEUTRAL)
Position - Price location within bands (Upper/Mid/Lower Zone)
Band Width - Current width percentage with expansion/contraction label
Volatility - Squeeze status (SQUEEZE/NORMAL)
Force Count - Bars since last force change
How to Use This Indicator
For Trend Following:
1. Enter long when force turns BULLISH
2. Enter short when force turns BEARISH
3. Exit or reduce when force turns NEUTRAL
For Squeeze Breakouts:
1. Watch for SQUEEZE status in dashboard
2. Prepare for breakout in either direction
3. Enter when force confirms direction after squeeze
For Mean Reversion:
1. Only trade mean-reversion when force is NEUTRAL
2. Avoid fading moves when force is active
3. Use band touches as entry points during neutral force
Input Parameters
Length (20) - Period for basis and standard deviation
Multiplier (2.0) - Standard deviation multiplier for bands
MA Type (SMA) - Basis calculation method
Squeeze Threshold (0.5) - Band width percentage for squeeze detection
Timeframe Recommendations
4H-Daily: Cleanest force signals
1H: Good balance of signals and reliability
15m: More signals but more noise
Limitations
Force detection can lag during rapid reversals
Squeeze breakouts can fail (false breakouts)
Works best in markets with clear trending/ranging phases

To ensure the highest strike rate, a trade is only triggered when all four of the following conditions align:
1. TREND: 8 EMA crossing the 21 EMA (Short-term momentum shift).
2. VALUE: Price must be above VWAP for Longs or below VWAP for Shorts (Institutional bias).
3. MOMENTUM: RSI must be > 55 for Longs or < 45 for Shorts (Confirming the "Flush").
4. VOLATILITY: The entry candle must close outside the EMA spread to confirm strength.
### KEY FEATURES
* IRON-CLAD ANCHORING: Uses Pine Script v6 'chart.point' math to mathematically weld boxes and labels to the price bars. Drawings will NOT drift or lag when zooming or panning.
* DYNAMIC RISK CALCULATOR: Automatically calculates Take Profit and Stop Loss levels based on your input points. It displays the real-time dollar gain/loss ($5 per point for MES) directly on the chart.
* SURGICAL VISUALS: Features a 3-label system (Entry Price, Target Price, and Stop Price) positioned externally to keep the candlestick price action clear and visible.
* COLOR-SYNC LOGIC: Intuitively designed so that the Profit Target is ALWAYS Lime/Green and the Risk/Stop is ALWAYS Red, regardless of whether you are in a Long or Short position.
* INTEGRATED ALERTS: Includes built-in alert conditions for "Perfect Long" and "Perfect Short" to sync with phone or browser notifications.

W/D/4HR OTE Aligner (V6) - Alerts This indicator is a multi-timeframe (MTF) alignment and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) alert tool designed for discretionary manual trading on the 15-minute timeframe.
Here is a description of its core functionality:
W/D/4HR OTE Aligner (V6) - Alerts
This custom TradingView indicator assists manual traders by identifying high-probability trading setups that meet specific structural and momentum criteria across multiple timeframes. It does not place trades automatically but generates a "Trade Signal" used for setting up reliable alerts.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Bias Confirmation: The indicator uses a 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to confirm that the Weekly, Daily, and 4-Hour timeframes are all aligned in the same direction (all above for bullish, all below for bearish). This provides a strong directional bias.
OTE Zone Identification: It dynamically calculates recent swing highs and lows on the 4-hour chart (using reliable pivot detection) and highlights the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zone, typically centered around the 0.618 Fibonacci Retracement level.
15-Minute Entry Signal: Once price enters the OTE zone within the aligned trend direction, the indicator looks for a confirmation entry signal on the 15-minute chart, specifically a 9-period EMA crossing the 20-period EMA.
Manual Alert System: A transparent "Trade Signal" plot provides the trigger source for a manual TradingView alert, notifying the user exactly when all criteria are met for a potential long or short trade entry.
This indicator is a tool for finding precise entry points within dominant, confirmed trends.

Calculates previous day range and projects:
+1.618 / +1.786
−1.618 / −1.786
Draws filled zones (no borders) between:
1.618 ↔ 1.786
−1.618 ↔ −1.786
Boxes extend only across the current RTH session.
These zones represent expansion / exhaustion areas, not reversal signals by themselves.
4️⃣ RSI Turn Signals (Clean, Non-Repainting)
Uses a standard RSI, with:
Adjustable length
Adjustable overbought / oversold levels
Optional independent RSI timeframe (can differ from chart TF)
Signals trigger only on a turn, not while RSI remains extreme:
Buy: RSI crosses up through oversold
Sell: RSI crosses down through overbought
This indicator is built to answer three questions:
Where am I relative to important structure?
Is price extended or mean-reverting?
Is there a confirmed momentum turn?
ICT OTE - Clean v6 (Indicator)ICT OTE — Indicator (Pine v6)
Comprehensive Guide & Rule-Based Trade Plan
This guide explains how to read and trade the Pine v6 indicator version of ICT’s Optimal Trade Entry (OTE). It covers chart elements, the 62–79% OTE zone (with 70.5% mid), confirmation logic, kill-zone gating, rule-based entries/stops/targets, and practical workflows.
1. Overview
The Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) is a core ICT concept that locates high-probability entries inside a Fibonacci retracement window between 62% and 79%, with 70.5% often used as a precise mid level. The indicator highlights that zone for the latest impulse (swing low to swing high for bullish, swing high to swing low for bearish), prints signal labels when price retraces into the box and a confirmation candle forms, and plots visual stop-loss and 1R/2R targets from your chosen entry line (62/70.5/79).
2. What the Indicator Draws
• OTE Box (62–79%): A green box for bullish OTE (drawn between 62% and 79% of the latest bullish impulse) and a red box for bearish OTE (drawn between 62% and 79% retracement of the latest bearish impulse).
• 70.5% Mid Line: A horizontal line through the OTE box at 70.5% (optional).
• Entry Line: Your selected entry reference: Top 62%, Mid 70.5%, or Bottom 79%.
• Signal Labels: ‘OTE Long’ appears when price touches the bullish OTE box and a confirmation candle prints; ‘OTE Short’ for the bearish side.
• Stop-Loss Guide: For longs: swing low of the dealing range; for shorts: swing high of the dealing range (visual plot).
• 1R/2R Target Lines: Two projected lines from the chosen entry to visualize 1R and 2R objectives (purely visual).
• Kill-Zone Shading (optional): Grey shading during London, NY-AM, and NY-PM windows, if gating is enabled.
3. Inputs & Settings
• Pivot Left/Right: Swing detection for impulses using pivot highs/lows (default 3/3).
• Draw OTE Box: Toggle drawing the 62–79% zone.
• Plot 70.5% Mid Line: Toggle the mid-line inside OTE.
• Entry Line: Choose the visual entry anchor (62% / 70.5% / 79%).
• Confirmation: Require a strong candle (default: close > open + continuation vs prior bar for longs; inverse for shorts).
• Stop/Targets: Toggle plotting the swing SL and 1R/2R targets.
• Kill-Zone Gating: If enabled, signals only fire in London (02:00–05:00 NY), NY-AM (08:00–11:00 NY), and NY-PM (13:00–15:00 NY).
• OTE Box Opacity: Adjust visual opacity of the box (default 85).
4. Rule-Based Entry Model
Use these steps exactly; do not skip.
1. Window: Optional — ensure you are inside an ICT kill-zone (London / NY-AM / NY-PM) if gating is enabled.
2. Impulse: Confirm the latest dealing range (pivot-based). Bullish = last swing low precedes last swing high; bearish = last swing high precedes last swing low.
3. OTE Box: Ensure price retraces into the 62–79% zone for the active impulse.
4. Confirmation: Wait for the required confirmation candle (strong or basic, per setting).
5. Entry Anchor: Use your selected line (62/70.5/79) as the reference for planning the fill.
6. Stops: Place SL at the swing extreme of the dealing range (longs: swing low; shorts: swing high).
7. Targets: Map 1R and 2R visual levels from the entry. Optionally prefer opposite liquidity or prior swing if closer (manual).
5. How to Read the Chart Step-by-Step
• Check background shading: are you inside a kill-zone (if enabled)?
• Identify the latest swing high/low markers (dealing range).
• Locate the OTE box for that impulse; confirm price retraced into the box.
• Inspect the confirmation candle: strong body and continuation (for longs: close > open AND close > prior high; for shorts: mirror).
• Use the entry line (62/70.5/79) as the reference; map SL and 1R/2R lines.
• If a signal label prints (‘OTE Long’ or ‘OTE Short’), you have alignment: timing, retracement, and confirmation.
6. Examples
Example Long (NY-AM): Price makes an impulse up (swing low then swing high). During NY-AM kill-zone, price retraces into the green OTE box. A strong bullish candle forms. Entry reference: 70.5% mid. SL at the swing low. Visual TP1/TP2 at 1R/2R.
Example Short (London): Price makes a bearish impulse (swing high then swing low). During London kill-zone, price retraces into the red OTE box. A strong bearish candle forms. Entry reference: 62%. SL at the swing high. Visual TP1/TP2 at 1R/2R.
7. Risk Management
• Fixed percent per trade: e.g., 1% risk relative to account equity (visual targets help sizing).
• One signal per kill-zone window: avoid overtrading inside the same hour.
• Respect invalidations: if a full body closes through the entire box or structure fails, stand down.
• Favor time/volatility windows for execution; avoid thin hours unless testing.
8. Common Pitfalls
• Forcing entries outside OTE: wait for a proper 62–79% retrace.
• Ignoring impulse definition: use confirmed pivots to avoid measuring from noise.
• Skipping confirmation: entries without a qualifying candle are lower quality.
• Inconsistent stops: SL belongs at the impulse extreme; avoid random micro-level stops.
• No timing discipline: kill-zone gating exists to filter low-probability periods.
9. Indicator Parameters — Quick Reference
• Pivot Left/Right: controls swing detection sensitivity (higher = stricter).
• Entry line: choose between 62%, 70.5%, and 79% for your signal anchor.
• Confirmation strength: toggle strong vs basic candle validation.
• Kill-zone gating: optional session-based signal filtering.
• Opacity/colors: cosmetic; adjust to your chart style.
10. Workflow Checklist
• Is the impulse correctly identified (pivot low/high order)?
• Is price inside the OTE box (62–79%)?
• Did the confirmation candle print?
• Is signal gating satisfied (if enabled)?
• Is SL mapped to the impulse extreme?
• Are 1R/2R levels clear from the entry?
• Any scheduled macro events in the window? (avoid surprise volatility).
11. References (ICT OTE & Kill-Zones)
• ICT Fibonacci / OTE levels: 62–79% with 70.5% mid — multiple tutorials and guides.
• ICT Kill-Zones: commonly used London / New York windows for timing entries.
Adaptive MA SuperTrend 3.0The Adaptive MA SuperTrend 3.0 is a 3rd Generation of the SuperTrend indicator focused on improving accuracy while maintaining high speeds to capture ANY trend the market has to offer and allow investors/traders from beginner to advanced and beyond to gain a unique insight on what is happening with the markets.
How does it work?
The indicator uses a Moving Average as a base for the SuperTrend and adapts it to market environments.
It uses averages to find if short-term, medium-term or long-term have the highest avg. volume/ATR/Standard Deviation. Whichever period has the highest avg. is the length that will be used for the moving average.
Then it smooths it slightly to give a smoother result to finish the job.
That leaves us with high speed & accurate signals that adapt to any environment.

RSI Bollinger Band and Trend Confidence Gauge█ RSI BB Trend Confidence Gauge (ADX/DMI)
Cross-checks Trend + Momentum + Strength in real time so you focus on VERIFIED conditions.
Most of us have been there: you see a move starting, you jump in, and the market immediately turns into a sideways chop-fest that eats your stop. This is a simple dashboard that forces the market to “prove itself” before you put capital at risk.
█ WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?
Most indicators are “Yes/No” machines — they fire signals anytime two lines cross, even when the market is weak, noisy, or range-bound. This script is a Quality Filter .
Instead of asking “Is price moving?”, it asks: “Is the move backed by alignment, momentum, and strength?”
VERIFIED only appears when all three agree, helping you avoid low-probability chop and “no-trade” consolidation zones.
█ QUICK START
• UP + VERIFIED + High ➔ “A-Tier” state; favor pullbacks or continuation.
• DOWN + VERIFIED + High ➔ bearish control is real; avoid dip-buying.
• Conflict (gray) ➔ indicators disagree; step aside and wait for alignment.
• R or B markers ➔ overextension warnings; don’t chase into extremes.
█ THE "ANTI-CHOP" ENGINE
Trading is probability, not guessing. This script uses a 3-stage logic gate to verify conditions:
• 1) The Trend (HMA 13/34): Hull Moving Averages provide a fast, smooth regime filter. If fast vs. slow isn’t clean, the regime isn’t ready.
• 2) The Fuel (RSI 50): A trend without momentum is a trap. UP/DOWN only prints when RSI confirms.
• 3) The Proof (ADX/DMI): Final gate. VERIFIED only appears when ADX ≥ 22 and DI+/DI- agrees . If strength isn’t there, stay sidelined.
█ VISUALS YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE
• Live Dashboard: Bottom-center snapshot of RSI, Direction (UP/DOWN/Conflict), VERIFIED status, and Confidence tier (Low/Med/High).
• Exhaustion Markers: Orange icons when price is extended: "R" for RSI extremes and "B" for Bollinger Band hits. These flag caution zones.
• Trend Ribbon: Zero-line bias bar: Lime (bullish), Red (bearish), Gray (conflict/chop risk).
█ SETTINGS
• Action ADX Minimum (default 22): Want stricter verification? Try 25. Want earlier signals? Try 20 (higher noise/risk).

Nexus Momentum Flow [JOAT]
Nexus Momentum Flow - ADX-Based Trend Strength Analysis
Introduction and Purpose
Nexus Momentum Flow is an open-source oscillator indicator that combines the ADX (Average Directional Index) with directional movement indicators (+DI/-DI) to create a comprehensive trend strength and direction analysis tool. The core problem this indicator solves is that ADX alone tells you trend strength but not direction, while +DI/-DI alone tells you direction but not strength. Traders need both pieces of information together.
This indicator addresses that by combining ADX strength classification with directional bias into a single confluence score, making it easy to identify when strong trends exist and which direction they favor.
Why These Components Work Together
1. ADX (Average Directional Index) - Measures trend strength regardless of direction. Values above 25 indicate trending; below 20 indicate ranging.
2. +DI (Positive Directional Indicator) - Measures upward price movement strength.
3. -DI (Negative Directional Indicator) - Measures downward price movement strength.
4. Confluence Score - Combines ADX strength with DI bias to create a single actionable metric.
The combination works because:
ADX filters out ranging markets where DI crossovers produce whipsaws
DI relationship provides direction when ADX confirms trend
Confluence score simplifies the analysis into one number
How the Calculation Works
float directionBias = diPlus - diMinus
float confluenceScore = (adx / 100) * directionBias
The confluence score is positive when +DI > -DI (bullish) and negative when -DI > +DI (bearish), with magnitude scaled by ADX strength.
Trend State Classification
EXTREME - ADX > 50 (very strong trend)
STRONG - ADX 35-50 (strong trend)
TRENDING - ADX 25-35 (moderate trend)
RANGING - ADX < 25 (no clear trend)
Dashboard Information
Status - Current trend state (EXTREME/STRONG/TRENDING/RANGING)
Direction - BULLISH or BEARISH based on DI relationship
ADX - Current ADX value
DI Bias - Difference between +DI and -DI
Confluence - Combined score with directional context
How to Use This Indicator
For Trend Following:
1. Wait for ADX to show TRENDING or higher
2. Check direction matches your trade bias
3. Enter on pullbacks when confluence remains positive/negative
4. Exit when ADX drops to RANGING
For Avoiding Whipsaws:
1. Do not trade DI crossovers when ADX shows RANGING
2. Only trust directional signals when ADX confirms trend
3. Use RANGING periods for mean-reversion strategies instead
For Trend Exhaustion:
1. Watch for EXTREME ADX readings
2. Extreme trends often precede reversals
3. Consider taking profits when ADX reaches extreme levels
Input Parameters
ADX Length (14) - Period for ADX calculation
DI Length (14) - Period for directional indicators
ADX Smoothing (14) - Smoothing period for ADX
Trend Threshold (25) - ADX level for trend confirmation
Strong Threshold (35) - ADX level for strong trend
Extreme Threshold (50) - ADX level for extreme trend
Timeframe Recommendations
Daily/4H: Best for swing trading trend analysis
1H: Good for intraday trend following
15m: More signals but requires faster reaction
Limitations
ADX is a lagging indicator - trends are confirmed after they start
DI crossovers can whipsaw even with ADX filter

It combines daily trend direction with intraday momentum, volume patterns, and RSI oversold conditions to signal high-probability buy opportunities when price pulls back in an uptrend.
Perfect for swing traders looking to enter with the trend after temporary sell-offs, with built-in confirmation filters to avoid false signals.
Cash Glow IndicatorThis indicator shows you where buyers and sellers are active on the chart, highlighting key areas where price has previously reacted. Each zone includes a count that tracks how many times that level has been revisited, giving you a clear sense of its importance. The more times an area is revisited, the stronger and more relevant it becomes, helping you focus on zones that consistently influence price movement.
Anchored VWAP PercentageINDICATOR: ANCHORED VWAP PERCENTAGE (AVWAP)
1. Overview
The Anchored VWAP Percentage (AVWAP) is a quantitative momentum and mean-reversion tool. It measures the percentage distance between the current price and a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) that resets automatically based on specific time cycles. It allows traders to identify overextended market conditions relative to institutional value.
---
2. Core Logic & Calculation
The script tracks the relationship between price and volume starting from a specific Anchor Point .
* Volume-Weighted Foundation: Unlike simple moving averages, this indicator uses the VWAP formula: sum(Volume * Price) / sum(Volume) .
* Automatic Anchoring: The starting point (Anchor) resets automatically depending on the chart timeframe (e.g., resets weekly on a 15m chart, or yearly on a Daily chart).
* Percentage Deviation: It calculates the precise gap between the price and the VWAP, plotted as an oscillator: ((Price - VWAP) / VWAP) * 100 .
---
3. Adaptive Intelligence (Multi-Asset & Multi-TF)
The AVWAP is built with an internal database of 85th Percentile (P85) volatility thresholds. It recognizes that different assets have different "stretching" limits:
1. Asset-Specific Calibration: It includes optimized data for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Altcoins, Forex, and Indices .
2. Dynamic Timeframe Mapping: The anchor period and the exhaustion thresholds adjust automatically. For example:
* Intraday (1m-5m): Anchors to an 8-hour (480 min) cycle.
* Mid-Term (15m-60m): Anchors to a Weekly (W) cycle.
* Swing (Daily): Anchors to a Yearly (12M) cycle.
---
4. Visual Anatomy
The indicator is designed for high-speed decision-making:
* The Histogram:
* Green: Price is trading above the VWAP (Bullish premium).
* Red: Price is trading below the VWAP (Bearish discount).
* P85 Threshold Lines:
* These lines represent the 85th percentile of historical deviations . Historically, the price stays within these boundaries 85% of the time.
* Background Highlighting: When the histogram crosses the P85 line, the background glows, signaling a Statistical Exhaustion Zone where a retracement to the mean is highly probable.
---
5. How to Trade with AVWAP
* Mean Reversion: When the histogram reaches the P85 Zone , the price is "statistically overextended." This is a prime area to look for reversals or to take profits on existing trends.
* Trend Strength: If the histogram stays near the Zero Line while the price moves, the trend is supported by healthy volume.
* Value Area: The Zero Line represents the Fair Value . Buying near the Zero Line during a bullish histogram (Green) offers a high-probability entry with low risk.
---
6. Technical Parameters
* Asset Selection: A dropdown to switch between Crypto, Forex, and Indices.
* Color Customization: User-defined colors for bullish and bearish sentiment.
* Precision Control: 4-decimal precision for accurate tracking of thin-margin assets like Forex.
Mongoose Capital: Oil Regime + Geo Risk IntegrationMongoose Capital — Oil Regime + Geo Risk Integration
Overview
Oil Regime + Geo Risk Integration is a macro-aware regime classification framework designed to contextualize crude oil price action through curve structure, volatility state, demand pressure, trend alignment, and macro tightness.
Rather than forecasting price, this indicator answers a more important question for energy traders:
“What type of oil market are we currently trading in?”
The output is a clear regime state with an execution playbook, allowing traders to adapt tactics to conditions instead of forcing the same strategy across incompatible environments.
What This Indicator Does
This script classifies the oil market into distinct regimes by evaluating:
Curve structure (tight vs loose)
Volatility state (expanding vs suppressed)
Demand strength
Trend direction
Macro tightness or ease
Geopolitical / risk sensitivity layer
Each bar resolves into a single regime, paired with:
A readable regime label
A background state
A recommended execution posture
Regime Framework (Conceptual)
The regime engine resolves into one of the following high-level environments:
Risk-Off / Defensive
Weak demand
Loose curve
Downtrend
Macro stress present
→ Favor defense, mean reversion, or standing aside
Volatility Expansion / Event Risk
Elevated volatility
Tightening structure
→ Favor tactical trades, reduced size, wider stops
Trend Expansion / Supply-Driven
Strong demand
Tight curve
Trend confirmation
→ Favor continuation, breakouts, directional exposure
Neutral / Transitional
Mixed signals
Low alignment
→ Patience required, confirmation preferred
Alignment Confidence
The indicator also computes an alignment score, reflecting how many core components agree:
Curve
Volatility
Demand
Macro state
Higher alignment implies greater regime confidence. Lower alignment signals transition risk and elevated false moves.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to WTI / CL or related oil instruments.
Identify the current regime label and background state.
Adjust execution behavior accordingly:
Strategy selection
Position sizing
Holding period
Risk tolerance
This tool is most effective when paired with:
Structure-based trading
Order flow tools
Execution overlays (such as the WTI Execution Overlay)
What This Indicator Is
A market context engine
A regime classification system
A macro-aware execution guide
What This Indicator Is Not
Not a buy/sell signal
Not predictive
Not a standalone trading system
Intended Audience
Energy and futures traders
Macro-focused discretionary traders
Traders who adapt strategy based on regime rather than fixed rules
This script assumes the user already understands basic market structure and risk management.

Mongoose Capital: WTI Execution Overlay v1Overview
The WTI Execution Overlay v1 is a decision-support overlay designed to improve execution quality in crude oil markets by filtering when trades are allowed, not what to trade.
It integrates macro confirmation, volatility regime awareness, demand pressure, and flow confirmation into a single execution gate. The goal is simple:
reduce false breakouts, avoid low-quality conditions, and prioritize trades when macro and flow are aligned.
This tool is intended for CL / WTI futures, CFDs, and related energy instruments, and works best alongside an existing technical or order-flow strategy.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to a WTI / CL chart.
Use your existing setup (levels, structure, order flow, strategy logic).
Treat this overlay as an execution permission layer:
When the overlay is ON, conditions are favorable for breakout or continuation trades.
When the overlay is OFF, risk of failed moves is elevated.
Practical guidance:
ON → Normal execution allowed.
OFF → Reduce size, wait for confirmation, or stand aside.
Best used on 15m–4H timeframes, but adapts across horizons.
This indicator does not generate buy/sell signals and does not predict price direction.
Methodology (High Level)
The overlay evaluates execution quality through a composite framework:
1. Macro & Regime Confirmation
Identifies whether price action aligns with a supportive macro regime.
Prevents breakout participation when broader conditions are hostile.
2. Volatility & Flow Confirmation
Uses volatility expansion and momentum behavior to confirm participation.
Rising volatility is treated as confirmation, not a trigger.
3. Demand & Impact Filters
Incorporates demand pressure and impact weighting to distinguish:
Real participation vs. low-liquidity noise.
Acts as a reminder that not all breakouts are created equal.
4. Execution Gating Logic
Trades are allowed only when:
Macro regime is permissive or
Breakout conditions are confirmed and not vetoed by risk filters.
Prevents “technical breakouts” that lack macro or flow support.
What This Indicator Is
An execution filter
A risk management overlay
A confirmation layer for discretionary or systematic traders
What This Indicator Is Not
Not a trading strategy
Not a signal generator
Not predictive or forward-looking
Intended Audience
Active discretionary traders
Futures and macro traders
Energy market participants
Traders who already understand structure, levels, or order flow
If you rely solely on indicators for entries, this tool is not designed for that use case.
