VWAP For Loop [BackQuant]VWAP For Loop
What this tool does—in one sentence
A volume-weighted trend gauge that anchors VWAP to a calendar period (day/week/month/quarter/year) and then scores the persistence of that VWAP trend with a simple for-loop “breadth” count; the result is a clean, threshold-driven oscillator plus an optional VWAP overlay and alerts.
Plain-English overview
Instead of judging raw price alone, this indicator focuses on anchored VWAP —the market’s average price paid during your chosen institutional period. It then asks a simple question across a configurable set of lookback steps: “Is the current anchored VWAP higher than it was i bars ago—or lower?” Each “yes” adds +1, each “no” adds −1. Summing those answers creates a score that reflects how consistently the volume-weighted trend has been rising or falling. Extreme positive scores imply persistent, broad strength; deeply negative scores imply persistent weakness. Crossing predefined thresholds produces objective long/short events and color-coded context.
Under the hood
• Anchoring — VWAP using hlc3 × volume resets exactly when the selected period rolls:
Day → session change, Week → new week, Month → new month, Quarter/Year → calendar quarter/year.
• For-loop scoring — For lag steps i = , compare today’s VWAP to VWAP .
– If VWAP > VWAP , add +1.
– Else, add −1.
The final score ∈ , where N = (end − start + 1). With defaults (1→45), N = 45.
• Signal logic (stateful)
– Long when score > upper (e.g., > 40 with N = 45 → VWAP higher than ~89% of checked lags).
– Short on crossunder of lower (e.g., dropping below −10).
– A compact state variable ( out ) holds the current regime: +1 (long), −1 (short), otherwise unchanged. This “stickiness” avoids constant flipping between bars without sufficient evidence.
Why VWAP + a breadth score?
• VWAP aggregates both price and volume—where participants actually traded.
• The breadth-style count rewards consistency of the anchored trend, not one-off spikes.
• Thresholds give you binary structure when you need it (alerts, automation), without complex math.
What you’ll see on the chart
• Sub-pane oscillator — The for-loop score line, colored by regime (long/short/neutral).
• Main-pane VWAP (optional) — Even though the indicator runs off-chart, the anchored VWAP can be overlaid on price (toggle visibility and whether it inherits trend colors).
• Threshold guides — Horizontal lines for the long/short bands (toggle).
• Cosmetics — Optional candle painting and background shading by regime; adjustable line width and colors.
Input map (quick reference)
• VWAP Anchor Period — Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year.
• Calculation Start/End — The for-loop lag window . With 1→45, you evaluate 45 comparisons.
• Long/Short Thresholds — Default upper=40, lower=−10 (asymmetric by design; see below).
• UI/Style — Show thresholds, paint candles, background color, line width, VWAP visibility and coloring, custom long/short colors.
Interpreting the score
• Near +N — Current anchored VWAP is above most historical VWAP checkpoints in the window → entrenched strength.
• Near −N — Current anchored VWAP is below most checkpoints → entrenched weakness.
• Between — Mixed, choppy, or transitioning regimes; use thresholds to avoid reacting to noise.
Why the asymmetric default thresholds?
• Long = score > upper (40) — Demands unusually broad upside persistence before declaring “long regime.”
• Short = crossunder lower (−10) — Triggers only on downward momentum events (a fresh breach), not merely being below −10. This combination tends to:
– Capture sustained uptrends only when they’re very strong.
– Flag downside turns as they occur, rather than waiting for an extreme negative breadth.
Tuning guide
Choose an anchor that matches your horizon
– Intraday scalps : Day anchor on intraday charts.
– Swing/position : Month or Quarter anchor on 1h/4h/D charts to capture institutional cycles.
Pick the for-loop window
– Larger N (bigger end) = stronger evidence requirement, smoother oscillator.
– Smaller N = faster, more reactive score.
Set achievable thresholds
– Ensure upper ≤ N and lower ≥ −N ; if N=30, an upper of 40 can never trigger.
– Symmetric setups (e.g., +20/−20) are fine if you want balanced behavior.
Match visuals to intent
– Enabling VWAP coloring lets you see regime directly on price.
– Background shading is useful for discretionary reading; turn it off for cleaner automation displays.
Playbook examples
• Trend confirmation with disciplined entries — On Month anchor, N=45, upper=38–42: when the long regime engages, use pullbacks toward anchored VWAP on the main pane for entries, with stops just beyond VWAP or a recent swing.
• Downside transition detection — Keep lower around −8…−12 and watch for crossunders; combine with price losing anchored VWAP to validate risk-off.
• Intraday bias filter — Day anchor on a 5–15m chart, N=20–30, upper ~ 16–20, lower ~ −6…−10. Only take longs while score is positive and above a midline you define (e.g., 0), and shorts only after a genuine crossunder.
Behavior around resets (important)
Anchored VWAP is hard-reset each period. Immediately after a reset, the series can be young and comparisons to pre-reset values may span two periods. If you prefer within-period evaluation only, choose end small enough not to bridge typical period length on your timeframe, or accept that the breadth test intentionally spans regimes.
Alerts included
• VWAP FL Long — Fires when the long condition is true (score > upper and not in short).
• VWAP FL Short — Fires on crossunder of the lower threshold (event-driven).
Messages include {{ticker}} and {{interval}} placeholders for routing.
Strengths
• Simple, transparent math — Easy to reason about and validate.
• Volume-aware by construction — Decisions reference VWAP, not just price.
• Robust to single-bar noise — Needs many lags to agree before flipping state (by design, via thresholds and the stateful output).
Limitations & cautions
• Threshold feasibility — If N < upper or |lower| > N, signals will never trigger; always cross-check N.
• Path dependence — The state variable persists until a new event; if you want frequent re-evaluation, lower thresholds or reduce N.
• Regime changes — Calendar resets can produce early ambiguity; expect a few bars for the breadth to mature.
• VWAP sensitivity to volume spikes — Large prints can tilt VWAP abruptly; that behavior is intentional in VWAP-based logic.
Suggested starting profiles
• Intraday trend bias : Anchor=Day, N=25 (1→25), upper=18–20, lower=−8, paint candles ON.
• Swing bias : Anchor=Month, N=45 (1→45), upper=38–42, lower=−10, VWAP coloring ON, background OFF.
• Balanced reactivity : Anchor=Week, N=30 (1→30), upper=20–22, lower=−10…−12, symmetric if desired.
Implementation notes
• The indicator runs in a separate pane (oscillator), but VWAP itself is drawn on price using forced overlay so you can see interactions (touches, reclaim/loss).
• HLC3 is used for VWAP price; that’s a common choice to dampen wick noise while still reflecting intrabar range.
• For-loop cap is kept modest (≤50) for performance and clarity.
How to use this responsibly
Treat the oscillator as a bias and persistence meter . Combine it with your entry framework (structure breaks, liquidity zones, higher-timeframe context) and risk controls. The design emphasizes clarity over complexity—its edge is in how strictly it demands agreement before declaring a regime, not in predicting specific turns.
Summary
VWAP For Loop distills the question “How broadly is the anchored, volume-weighted trend advancing or retreating?” into a single, thresholded score you can read at a glance, alert on, and color through your chart. With careful anchoring and thresholds sized to your window length, it becomes a pragmatic bias filter for both systematic and discretionary workflows.

🔎 Key Features
Buying vs. Selling Volume Separation
Uses the candle’s high, low, and close to split total volume into buying volume and selling volume.
Formula:
Buy = volume * (close - low) / (high - low)
Sell = volume * (high - close) / (high - low)
Volume Histogram Visualization
Plots overall volume (upper/lower) and separated buy/sell volumes as color-coded columns.
UPPER V / LOWER V: total volume
BUY V: buying volume (teal)
SELL V: selling volume (red)
Buy/Sell Ratio Calculation
Computes the percentage of buy and sell volume relative to total volume.
Buy Ratio = buyVolume / totalVolume * 100
Sell Ratio = sellVolume / totalVolume * 100
Ratio Display

Advanced Volume Profile Pro Delta + POC + VAH/VAL# Advanced Volume Profile Pro - Delta + POC + VAH/VAL Analysis System
## WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES
This script creates a comprehensive volume profile analysis system that combines traditional volume-at-price distribution with delta volume calculations, Point of Control (POC) identification, and Value Area (VAH/VAL) analysis. Unlike standard volume indicators that show only total volume over time, this script analyzes volume distribution across price levels and estimates buying vs selling pressure using multiple calculation methods to provide deeper market structure insights.
## WHY THIS COMBINATION IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL
**The Problem Solved:** Traditional volume indicators show when volume occurs but not where price finds acceptance or rejection. Standalone volume profiles lack directional bias information, while basic delta calculations don't provide structural context. Traders need to understand both volume distribution AND directional sentiment at key price levels.
**The Solution:** This script implements an integrated approach that:
- Maps volume distribution across price levels using configurable row density
- Estimates delta (buying vs selling pressure) using three different methodologies
- Identifies Point of Control (highest volume price level) for key support/resistance
- Calculates Value Area boundaries where 70% of volume traded
- Provides real-time alerts for key level interactions and volume imbalances
**Unique Features:**
1. **Developing POC Visualization**: Real-time tracking of Point of Control migration throughout the session via blue dotted trail, revealing institutional accumulation/distribution patterns before they complete
2. **Multi-Method Delta Calculation**: Price Action-based, Bid/Ask estimation, and Cumulative methods for different market conditions
3. **Adaptive Timeframe System**: Auto-adjusts calculation parameters based on chart timeframe for optimal performance
4. **Flexible Profile Types**: N Bars Back (precise control), Days Back (calendar-based), and Session-based analysis modes
5. **Advanced Imbalance Detection**: Identifies and highlights significant buying/selling imbalances with configurable thresholds
6. **Comprehensive Alert System**: Monitors POC touches, Value Area entry/exit, and major volume imbalances
## HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS TECHNICALLY
### Core Volume Profile Methodology:
**1. Price Level Distribution:**
- Divides price range into user-defined rows (10-50 configurable)
- Calculates row height: `(Highest Price - Lowest Price) / Number of Rows`
- Distributes each bar's volume across price levels it touched proportionally
**2. Delta Volume Calculation Methods:**
**Price Action Method:**
```
Price Range = High - Low
Buy Pressure = (Close - Low) / Price Range
Sell Pressure = (High - Close) / Price Range
Buy Volume = Total Volume × Buy Pressure
Sell Volume = Total Volume × Sell Pressure
Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
```
**Bid/Ask Estimation Method:**
```
Average Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Buy Volume = Close > Average ? Volume × 0.6 : Volume × 0.4
Sell Volume = Total Volume - Buy Volume
```
**Cumulative Method:**
```
Buy Volume = Close > Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
Sell Volume = Close ≤ Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
```
**3. Point of Control (POC) Identification:**
- Scans all price levels to find maximum volume concentration
- POC represents the price level with highest trading activity
- Acts as significant support/resistance level
- **Developing POC Feature**: Tracks POC evolution in real-time via blue dotted trail, showing how institutional interest migrates throughout the session. Upward POC migration indicates accumulation patterns, downward migration suggests distribution, providing early trend signals before price confirmation.
**4. Value Area Calculation:**
- Starts from POC and expands up/down to encompass 70% of total volume
- VAH (Value Area High): Upper boundary of value area
- VAL (Value Area Low): Lower boundary of value area
- Expansion algorithm prioritizes direction with higher volume
**5. Adaptive Range Selection:**
Based on profile type and timeframe optimization:
- **N Bars Back**: Fixed lookback period with performance optimization (20-500 bars)
- **Days Back**: Calendar-based analysis with automatic timeframe adjustment (1-365 days)
- **Session**: Current trading session or custom session times
### Performance Optimization Features:
- **Sampling Algorithm**: Reduces calculation load on large datasets while maintaining accuracy
- **Memory Management**: Clears previous drawings to prevent performance degradation
- **Safety Constraints**: Prevents excessive memory usage with configurable limits
## HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
### Initial Setup:
1. **Profile Configuration**: Select profile type based on trading style:
- N Bars Back: Precise control over data range
- Days Back: Intuitive calendar-based analysis
- Session: Real-time session development
2. **Row Density**: Set number of rows (30 default) - more rows = higher resolution, slower performance
3. **Delta Method**: Choose calculation method based on market type:
- Price Action: Best for trending markets
- Bid/Ask Estimate: Good for ranging markets
- Cumulative: Smoothed approach for volatile markets
4. **Visual Settings**: Configure colors, position (left/right), and display options
### Reading the Profile:
**Volume Bars:**
- **Length**: Represents relative volume at that price level
- **Color**: Green = net buying pressure, Red = net selling pressure
- **Intensity**: Darker colors indicate volume imbalances above threshold
**Key Levels:**
- **POC (Blue Line)**: Highest volume price - major support/resistance
- **VAH (Purple Dashed)**: Value Area High - upper boundary of fair value
- **VAL (Orange Dashed)**: Value Area Low - lower boundary of fair value
- **Value Area Fill**: Shaded region showing main trading range
**Developing POC Trail:**
- **Blue Dotted Lines**: Show real-time POC evolution throughout the session
- **Migration Patterns**: Upward trail indicates bullish accumulation, downward trail suggests bearish distribution
- **Early Signals**: POC movement often precedes price movement, providing advance warning of institutional activity
- **Institutional Footprints**: Reveals where smart money concentrated volume before final POC establishment
### Trading Applications:
**Support/Resistance Analysis:**
- POC acts as magnetic price level - expect reactions
- VAH/VAL provide intermediate support/resistance levels
- Profile edges show areas of low volume acceptance
**Developing POC Analysis:**
- **Upward Migration**: POC moving higher = institutional accumulation, bullish bias
- **Downward Migration**: POC moving lower = institutional distribution, bearish bias
- **Stable POC**: Tight clustering = balanced market, range-bound conditions
- **Early Trend Detection**: POC direction change often precedes price breakouts
**Entry Strategies:**
- Buy at VAL with POC as target (in uptrends)
- Sell at VAH with POC as target (in downtrends)
- Breakout plays above/below profile extremes
**Volume Imbalance Trading:**
- Strong buying imbalance (>60% threshold) suggests continued upward pressure
- Strong selling imbalance suggests continued downward pressure
- Imbalances near key levels provide high-probability setups
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- Use higher timeframe profiles for major levels
- Lower timeframe profiles for precise entries
- Session profiles for intraday trading structure

Support Vs Reward RvCSupport Vs Reward RvC
The Support Vs Reward RvC indicator is a simple yet effective tool that analyzes candle strength relative to both price movement and trading volume. Highlights candles where both body size and volume expand or contract, helping traders spot momentum shifts and weakening moves.
📌 How it works:
- “C” expect a Continuation of Trend in the next one or two candles;
- “R” expect a Reverse of Trend in the next one or two candles.
Works well on bigger time candles like 10-15 minutes but also gives important info in day-trading or scalping.
Marks candles where both body size and volume increase or decrease, making momentum shifts easy to spot. This smart candle analyzer reveals momentum surges and fading moves through body size and volume dynamics.
It compares each candle’s body size (open-to-close range) and its volume against the previous candle.
If both the body and volume are greater than the previous candle, a green “C” from Continuation of Trend is displayed under the bar.
If both the body and volume are smaller than the previous candle, a red “R” from Reverse of Trend is displayed under the bar.
Custom filters allow users to ignore insignificant moves by setting a minimum body size (as % of price) and a minimum volume threshold.
📌 Use cases:
Spot momentum shifts when price and volume expand together.
Identify weakening moves when both price action and volume contract.
Can be combined with other strategies for confirmation of entries or exits.
⚙️ Inputs:
Minimum Body Size % (of price): Filters out small candles.
Minimum Volume: Ensures only significant moves are marked.
This indicator is best used as a confirmation tool within a larger trading strategy, rather than as a standalone buy/sell signal.
Money Flow Sentiment with Divergences [Kodeus]The Money Flow Sentiment with Divergences combines the Money Flow Index (MFI) with advanced divergence detection and sentiment visualization. This tool helps traders identify overbought and oversold conditions, detect bullish and bearish divergences, and visualize money flow sentiment through a smooth gradient-based color scheme. With additional confluence analysis, traders can better gauge the strength of signals and make more informed decisions.
🔷 Key Features
Dynamic Money Flow Index (MFI): Visualizes money flow strength using a gradient color scheme for clearer trend sentiment.
Confluence Zone Highlighting: Displays a sentiment zone (top and bottom bands) based on longer-term MFI, helping confirm trend strength.
Divergence Detection: Automatically identifies and marks bullish and bearish divergences between price action and money flow.
Customizable Sensitivity: Adjustable divergence detection sensitivity to suit different trading styles and timeframes.
Signal Labels: Bullish divergences are marked with ▲ and bearish divergences with ▼ for easy chart interpretation.
🔷 Calculations
MFI Calculation
The script starts by calculating the Money Flow Index (MFI) using the ta.mfi() function, which takes the typical price (hlc3) and a length parameter (default set to 14). The MFI is normalized to a range between 0 and 1 for color gradient calculations.
Another MFI is calculated with a longer length (lengthConfluence, default set to 50) for confluence analysis. Similar to the MFI calculation, the highest and lowest MFI values within the confluence length are determined. The MFI values within the confluence length are normalized. The normalized MFI values are used to calculate the gradient color for the confluence area.
Gradient Color Calculations
Two sets of RGB color values are defined to create a gradient color scheme for the MFI plot. The MFI value is normalized between the highest and lowest MFI values within the specified length. The normalized MFI value is then used to calculate the red, green, and blue components of the gradient color.
Plotting Confluence Area
Two horizontal lines are plotted to highlight the confluence area.
The area between these lines is filled with the gradient color representing MFI confluence.
Divergence Calculations
Bullish and bearish divergences are identified based on specific conditions related to the MFI and price action.
Bullish divergence occurs when the MFI makes a lower low while price makes a higher low.
Bearish divergence occurs when the MFI makes a higher high while price makes a lower high.
The sensitivity (Pivot calculation length) of divergence detection can be adjusted.
Overall, this script provides a comprehensive analysis of the Money Flow Index, including plotting the MFI with a gradient color scheme, identifying confluence areas, and detecting bullish and bearish divergences to aid traders in making informed decisions.

Active Level Detection: The closest Gann level to current price is automatically highlighted in green with increased line thickness. This eliminates guesswork about which level is most likely to act as immediate support or resistance.
Real-Time Price Tracking: A customizable line follows current price with an offset to the right, projecting where price sits relative to upcoming levels. A gradient-filled box visualizes the exact distance between current price and the active Gann level.
Multi-Timeframe Context: View fractal waves from higher timeframes while maintaining current timeframe precision. This helps identify whether short-term moves align with or contradict longer-term structure.
Smart Alert System: Comprehensive alerts trigger when price crosses any Gann level, with options to monitor all levels or focus only on the active level. Reduces the need for constant chart monitoring while ensuring you never miss significant level breaks.
Practical Trading Applications
Entry Timing: Use active level highlighting to identify the most probable support/resistance for entries. The real-time distance box helps gauge risk/reward before entering positions.
Risk Management: Set stops based on Gann level breaks, particularly doubly strong levels which tend to be more significant. The gradient visualization makes it easy to see how much room price has before hitting key levels.
Trend Confirmation: Fractal waves provide immediate context about whether current price action aligns with broader market structure. Bullish/bearish background fills offer quick visual confirmation of trend direction.
Multi-Asset Analysis: The auto-scaling multiplier system works across all markets and timeframes, making it valuable for traders who monitor multiple instruments with vastly different price ranges.
Confluence Trading: Combine Gann levels with fractal wave boundaries to identify high-probability setups where multiple technical factors align.
This tool is particularly valuable for traders who appreciate mathematical precision in their technical analysis while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to real-time market conditions.
Multi-TF Trend Table (Configurable)1) What this tool does (in one minute)
A compact, multi‑timeframe dashboard that stacks eight timeframes and tells you:
Trend (fast MA vs slow MA)
Where price sits relative to those MAs
How far price is from the fast MA in ATR terms
MA slope (rising, falling, flat)
Stochastic %K (with overbought/oversold heat)
MACD momentum (up or down)
A single score (0%–100%) per timeframe
Alignment tick when trend, structure, slope and momentum all agree
Use it to:
Frame bias top‑down (M→W→D→…→15m)
Time entries on your execution timeframe when the higher‑TF stack is aligned
Avoid counter‑trend traps when the table is mixed
2) Table anatomy (each column explained)
The table renders 9 columns × 8 rows (one row per timeframe label you define).
TF — The label you chose for that row (e.g., Month, Week, 4H). Cosmetic; helps you read the stack.
Trend — Arrow from fast MA vs slow MA: ↑ if fastMA > slowMA (up‑trend), ↓ otherwise (down‑trend). Cell is green for up, red for down.
Price Pos — One‑character structure cue:
🔼 if price is above both fast and slow MAs (bullish structure)
🔽 if price is below both (bearish structure)
– otherwise (between MAs / mixed)
MA Dist — Distance of price from the fast MA measured in ATR multiples:
XS < S < M < L < XL according to your thresholds (see §3.3). Useful for judging stretch/mean‑reversion risk and stop sizing.
MA Slope — The fast MA one‑bar slope:
↑ if fastMA - fastMA > 0
↓ if < 0
→ if = 0
Stoch %K — Rounded %K value (default 14‑1‑3). Background highlights when it aligns with the trend:
Green heat when trend up and %K ≤ oversold
Red heat when trend down and %K ≥ overbought Tooltip shows K and D values precisely.
Trend % — Composite score (0–100%), the dashboard’s confidence for that timeframe:
+20 if trendUp (fast>slow)
+20 if fast MA slope > 0
+20 if MACD up (signal definition in §2.8)
+20 if price above fast MA
+20 if price above slow MA
Background colours:
≥80 lime (strong alignment)
≥60 green (good)
≥40 orange (mixed)
<40 grey (weak/contrary)
MACD — 🟢 if EMA(12)−EMA(26) > its EMA(9), else 🔴. It’s a simple “momentum up/down” proxy.
Align — ✔ when everything is in gear for that trend direction:
For up: trendUp and price above both MAs and slope>0 and MACD up
For down: trendDown and price below both MAs and slope<0 and MACD down Tooltip spells this out.
3) Settings & how to tune them
3.1 Timeframes (TF1–TF8)
Inputs: TF1..TF8 hold the resolution strings used by request.security().
Defaults: M, W, D, 720, 480, 240, 60, 15 with display labels Month, Week, Day, 12H, 8H, 4H, 1H, 15m.
Tips
Keep a top‑down funnel (e.g., Month→Week→Day→H4→H1→M15) so you can cascade bias into entries.
If you scalp, consider D, 240, 120, 60, 30, 15, 5, 1.
Crypto weekends: consider 2D in place of W to reflect continuous trading.
3.2 Moving Average (MA) group
Type: EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA, HMA. Changes both fast & slow MA computations everywhere.
Fast Length: default 20. Shorten for snappier trend/slope & tighter “price above fast” signals.
Slow Length: default 200. Controls the structural trend and part of the score.
When to change
Swing FX/equities: EMA 20/200 is a solid baseline.
Mean‑reversion style: consider SMA 20/100 so trend flips slower.
Crypto/indices momentum: HMA 21 / EMA 200 will read slope more responsively.
3.3 ATR / Distance group
ATR Length: default 14; longer makes distance less jumpy.
XS/S/M/L thresholds: define the labels in column MA Dist. They are compared to |close − fastMA| / ATR.
Defaults: XS 0.25×, S 0.75×, M 1.5×, L 2.5×; anything ≥L is XL.
Usage
Entries late in a move often occur at L/XL; consider waiting for a pullback unless you are trading breakouts.
For stops, an initial SL around 0.75–1.5 ATR from fast MA often sits behind nearby noise; use your plan.
3.4 Stochastic group
%K Length / Smoothing / %D Smoothing: defaults 14 / 1 / 3.
Overbought / Oversold: defaults 70 / 30 (adjust to 80/20 for trendier assets).
Heat logic (column Stoch %K): highlights when a pullback aligns with the dominant trend (oversold in an uptrend, overbought in a downtrend).
3.5 View
Full Screen Table Mode: centers and enlarges the table (position.middle_center). Great for clean screenshots or multi‑monitor setups.
4) Signal logic (how each datapoint is computed)
Per‑TF data (via a single request.security()):
fastMA, slowMA → based on your MA Type and lengths
%K, %D → Stoch(High,Low,Close,kLen) smoothed by kSmooth, then %D smoothed by dSmooth
close, ATR(atrLen) → for structure and distance
MACD up → (EMA12−EMA26) > EMA9(EMA12−EMA26)
fastMA_prev → yesterday/previous‑bar fast MA for slope
TrendUp → fastMA > slowMA
Price Position → compares close to both MAs
MA Distance Label → thresholds on abs(close − fastMA)/ATR
Slope → fastMA − fastMA
Score (0–100) → sum of the five 20‑point checks listed in §2.7
Align tick → conjunction of trend, price vs both MAs, slope and MACD (see §2.9)
Important behaviour
HTF values are sampled at the execution chart’s bar close using Pine v6 defaults (no lookahead). So the daily row updates only when a daily bar actually closes.
5) How to trade with it (playbooks)
The table is a framework. Entries/exits still follow your plan (e.g., S/D zones, price action, risk rules). Use the table to know when to be aggressive vs patient.
Playbook A — Trend continuation (pullback entry)
Look for Align ✔ on your anchor TFs (e.g., Week+Day both ≥80 and green, Trend ↑, MACD 🟢).
On your execution TF (e.g., H1/H4), wait for Stoch heat with the trend (oversold in uptrend or overbought in downtrend), and MA Dist not at XL.
Enter on your trigger (break of pullback high/low, engulfing, retest of fast MA, or S/D first touch per your plan).
Risk: consider ATR‑based SL beyond structure; size so 0.25–0.5% account risk fits your rules.
Trail or scale at M/L distances or when score deteriorates (<60).
Playbook B — Breakout with confirmation
Mixed stack turns into broad green: Trend % jumps to ≥80 on Day and H4; MACD flips 🟢.
Price Pos shows 🔼 across H4/H1 (above both MAs). Slope arrows ↑.
Enter on the first clean base‑break with volume/impulse; avoid if MA Dist already XL.
Playbook C — Mean‑reversion fade (advanced)
Use only when higher TFs are not aligned and the row you trade shows XL distance against the higher‑TF context. Take quick targets back to fast MA. Lower win‑rate, faster management.
Playbook D — Top‑down filter for Supply/Demand strategy
Trade first retests only in the direction where anchor TFs (Week/Day) have Align ✔ and Trend % ≥60. Skip counter‑trend zones when the stack is red/green against you.
6) Reading examples
Strong bullish stack
Week: ↑, 🔼, S/M, slope ↑, %K=32 (green heat), Trend 100%, MACD 🟢, Align ✔
Day: ↑, 🔼, XS/S, slope ↑, %K=45, Trend 80%, MACD 🟢, Align ✔
Action: Look for H4/H1 pullback into demand or fast MA; buy continuation.
Late‑stage thrust
H1: ↑, 🔼, XL, slope ↑, %K=88
Day/H4: only 60–80%
Action: Likely overextended on H1; wait for mean reversion or multi‑TF alignment before chasing.
Bearish transition
Day flips from 60%→40%, Trend ↓, MACD turns 🔴, Price Pos “–” (between MAs)
Action: Stand aside for longs; watch for lower‑high + Align ✔ on H4/H1 to join shorts.
7) Practical tips & pitfalls
HTF closure: Don’t assume a daily row changed mid‑day; it won’t settle until the daily bar closes. For intraday anticipation, watch H4/H1 rows.
MA Type consistency: Changing MA Type changes slope/structure everywhere. If you compare screenshots, keep the same type.
ATR thresholds: Calibrate per asset class. FX may suit defaults; indices/crypto might need wider S/M/L.
Score ≠ signal: 100% does not mean “must buy now.” It means the environment is favourable. Still execute your trigger.
Mixed stacks: When rows disagree, reduce size or skip. The tool is telling you the market lacks consensus.
8) Customisation ideas
Timeframe presets: Save layouts (e.g., Swing, Intraday, Scalper) as indicator templates in TradingView.
Alternative momentum: Replace the MACD condition with RSI(>50/<50) if desired (would require code edit).
Alerts: You can add alert conditions for (a) Align ✔ changes, (b) Trend % crossing 60/80, (c) Stoch heat events. (Not shipped in this script, but easy to add.)
9) FAQ
Q: Why do I sometimes see a dash in Price Pos? A: Price is between fast and slow MAs. Structure is mixed; seek clarity before acting.
Q: Does it repaint? A: No, higher‑TF values update on the close of their own bars (standard request.security behaviour without lookahead). Intra‑bar they can fluctuate; decisions should be made at your bar close per your plan.
Q: Which columns matter most? A: For trend‑following: Trend, Price Pos, Slope, MACD, then Stoch heat for entries. The Score summarises, and Align enforces discipline.
Q: How do I integrate with ATR‑based risk? A: Use the MA Dist label to avoid chasing at extremes and to size stops in ATR terms (e.g., SL behind structure at ~1–1.5 ATR).
VSA - The Volume HUDVSA Volume HUD: Your At-a-Glance Volume Dashboard
Tired of cluttered charts with multiple indicators taking up screen space?
The VSA Volume HUD is a clean, powerful, and fully customisable Heads-Up Display that puts all the critical volume and price action data you need into one compact box, right on your chart.
Designed for traders who rely on Volume Spread Analysis (VSA), this tool helps you instantly gauge the strength, conviction, and context behind every price move as it happens.
Key Features
This indicator isn't just about showing the current volume; it provides a comprehensive, real-time analysis of the market's activity.
Real-time VSA Dashboard: A persistent on-screen table that updates with every tick, giving you instant feedback without needing to look away from the price. The HUD is fully draggable (hold Ctrl/Cmd + click and drag) to place it anywhere you like.
Essential Volume Metrics:
Current Volume: Displayed in a clean, abbreviated format (e.g., 1.25M for millions, 54.3K for thousands).
% Change (vs. Previous Bar): Instantly see if volume is expanding or contracting.
Vs Short-Term Average: Compare the current bar's volume to a moving average to spot unusual spikes.
Volume Velocity: Measures the rate of change in volume over a short period, helping you spot acceleration or deceleration in market interest.
Relative Volume (RVOL): See how the current volume compares to the average for that specific time of day, perfect for identifying abnormally high or low activity.
Price Action & Volatility Context:
Range vs. ATR: Quickly determine if the current bar's volatility is expanding or contracting compared to the recent average.
Price vs. VWAP: See how far the current price has deviated from the session's Volume-Weighted Average Price, a key level for institutional traders.
Deep Customization is Key
Tailor the HUD to perfectly match your trading style and chart aesthetic.
Display & Layout:
Compact Mode: Remove the metric labels for a sleek, minimalist view that saves screen space.
Bar Meters: Enable optional visual bars next to key metrics for a quick, graphical representation of strength.
Total Control: Toggle every single metric on or off to build the exact dashboard you need. Adjust text size, position, and background opacity with ease.
Smart Coloring & Visual Alerts:
Advanced VSA Coloring: This isn't just about up/down candles. The script intelligently colors volume based on confluence. It highlights increasing volume on a strong up-bar (bullish confirmation) or increasing volume on a down-bar (potential climax or distribution), giving you a deeper VSA context.
High Volume Highlight: Make standout bars impossible to miss! The entire HUD background can change color automatically when volume surges past a custom threshold (e.g., over 150% of the average), instantly drawing your attention to critical moments.
Full Color Customization: Change every color to match your chart's theme, including separate colors for bullish/bearish moves, the background, and the border.
How to Use It
The VSA Volume HUD is a powerful confirmation tool. Use it to:
Confirm Breakouts: Look for a spike in Volume vs. Average and RVOL as price breaks a key level.
Spot Exhaustion: Notice high volume on a narrow-range candle after a long trend, visible through the Range/ATR metric.
Gauge Conviction: Use the Advanced Coloring to see if volume is supporting the price move (e.g., green volume on a green candle) or diverging from it.

*The Dynamic Convergence Scalper combines time-tested technical analysis principles with modern risk management techniques to provide traders with a comprehensive scalping solution. Its multi-factor approach helps filter out low-quality signals while highlighting high-probability trading opportunities.*
Order Blocks + Order-Flow ProxiesOrder Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies
This indicator combines structural analysis of order blocks with lightweight order-flow style proxies, providing a tool for chart annotation and contextual study. It is designed to help users visualize where significant structural shifts occur and how simple volume-based signals behave around those areas. The script does not guarantee profitable outcomes, nor does it issue financial advice. It is intended purely for research, learning, and discretionary use.
Conceptual Background
Order Blocks
An “order block” is a term often used to describe a zone on the chart where price left behind a significant reversal or imbalance before continuing strongly in the opposite direction. In practice, this can mean the last bullish or bearish candle before a strong breakout. Traders sometimes study these regions because they believe that unfilled resting orders may exist there, or simply because they mark important pivots in price structure. This indicator detects such moments by scanning for breaks of structure (BOS). When price pushes above or below recent swing levels with sufficient displacement, the script identifies the prior opposite candle as the potential order block.
Break of Structure
A break of structure in this context is defined when the closing price moves beyond the highest high or lowest low of a short lookback window. The script compares the magnitude of this break to an ATR-based displacement filter. This helps ensure that only meaningful moves are marked rather than small, random fluctuations.
Order-Flow Proxies
Traditional order flow analysis may use bid/ask data, footprint charts, or volume profiles. Because TradingView scripts cannot access true order-book data, this indicator instead uses proxy signals derived from standard chart data:
Delta (proxy): Estimated imbalance of buying vs. selling pressure, approximated using bar direction and volume.
Imbalance ratio: Normalizes delta by total volume, ranging between -1 and +1 in theory.
Cumulative Delta (CVD): Running sum of delta over time.
Effort vs. Result (EvR): A comparison between volume and actual bar movement, highlighting cases where large effort produced little result (or vice versa).
These are not real order-flow measurements, but rather simple mathematical constructs that mimic some of its logic.
How the Script Works
Detecting Break of Structure
The user specifies a swing length. When price closes above the recent high (for bullish BOS) or below the recent low (for bearish BOS), a potential shift is recorded.
To qualify, the breakout must exceed a displacement filter proportional to the ATR. This helps filter out weak moves.
Locating the Order Block Candle
Once a BOS is confirmed, the script looks back within a short window to find the last opposite-colored candle.
The high/low or open/close of that candle (depending on user settings) is marked as the potential order block zone.
Drawing and Maintaining Zones
Each order block is represented as a colored rectangle extending forward in time.
Bullish zones are teal by default, bearish zones are red.
Zones extend until invalidated (price closing or wicking beyond them, depending on user preference) or until a user-defined lifespan expires.
A pruning mechanism ensures that only the most recent set number of zones remain, preventing chart overload.
Monitoring Touches
The script checks whether the current bar’s range overlaps any existing order block.
If so, the “closest” zone is considered touched, and a label may appear on the chart.
Confirmation Filters
Touches can optionally be confirmed by order-flow proxies.
For a bullish confirmation, the following must align:
Imbalance ratio above threshold,
Delta EMA positive,
Effort vs. Result positive.
For a bearish confirmation, the opposite holds true.
Optionally, a higher-timeframe EMA slope filter can gate these confirmations. For example, a bullish confirmation may only be accepted if the higher-timeframe EMA is sloping upward.
Alerts
Users may create alerts based on conditions such as “bullish touch confirmed” or “bearish touch confirmed.”
Alerts can be gated to only fire after bar close, reducing intrabar noise.
Standard alertcondition calls are provided, and optional inline alert() calls can be enabled.
Inputs and Customization

Swing length: Defines how many bars back to check for BOS.
ATR length & displacement factor: Adjust sensitivity for structural breaks.
Body vs. wick reference: Choose whether zones are based on candle bodies or full ranges.
Invalidation rule: Pick between wick breach or close beyond the level.
Lifespan (bars): Limit how long a zone remains active.
Max keep: Cap the number of zones stored to reduce clutter.
Order-Flow Proxies

Z-score lookback: Defines the averaging window for EvR.
Confirmation thresholds: Adjust the imbalance levels required for long/short confirmation.
Higher Timeframe Filter
Enable HTF gate: Optional filter requiring higher-timeframe EMA slope alignment.
HTF timeframe & EMA length: Configurable for context alignment.
Style
Colors and transparency for bullish and bearish zones.
Border color customization.
Alerts
Enable inline alerts: Optional direct calls to alert().

Practical Use
This tool is best seen as a way to annotate charts and to study how simple volume-derived signals behave near important structural levels. Some users may:
Observe whether order blocks line up with later price reactions.
Study how imbalance or cumulative delta conditions align with these zones.
Use it in a discretionary workflow to highlight areas of interest for deeper analysis.
Because the proxies are based only on candle OHLCV data, they are approximations. They cannot replace true depth-of-market analysis. Similarly, order block detection here is one specific algorithmic interpretation; other traders may define order blocks differently.
Limitations and Disclaimers
This indicator does not predict future price movement.
It does not access real order book or tick-by-tick data. All signals are derived from bar OHLCV.
Past performance of signals or zones does not guarantee future results.
The script is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice.
Users should test thoroughly, adjust parameters to their own instruments and timeframes, and use it in combination with broader analysis.
Summary
The Order Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies script is an experimental study tool that:
Detects potential order blocks using a displacement-filtered break of structure.
Marks these zones as boxes that persist until invalidation or expiry.
Provides lightweight order-flow-style proxies such as delta, imbalance, CVD, and effort vs. result.
Allows confirmation of zone touches through these proxies and optional higher-timeframe context.
Offers flexible customization, alerting, and chart-style options.
It is not a trading system by itself but rather a framework for studying price/volume behavior around structurally significant areas. With careful exploration, it can give users new ways to visualize market structure and to understand how simple flow-like measures behave in those contexts.
Order Blocks + Order-Flow ProxiesOrder Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies
This indicator combines structural analysis of order blocks with lightweight order-flow style proxies, providing a tool for chart annotation and contextual study. It is designed to help users visualize where significant structural shifts occur and how simple volume-based signals behave around those areas. The script does not guarantee profitable outcomes, nor does it issue financial advice. It is intended purely for research, learning, and discretionary use.
Conceptual Background
Order Blocks
An “order block” is a term often used to describe a zone on the chart where price left behind a significant reversal or imbalance before continuing strongly in the opposite direction. In practice, this can mean the last bullish or bearish candle before a strong breakout. Traders sometimes study these regions because they believe that unfilled resting orders may exist there, or simply because they mark important pivots in price structure. This indicator detects such moments by scanning for breaks of structure (BOS). When price pushes above or below recent swing levels with sufficient displacement, the script identifies the prior opposite candle as the potential order block.
Break of Structure
A break of structure in this context is defined when the closing price moves beyond the highest high or lowest low of a short lookback window. The script compares the magnitude of this break to an ATR-based displacement filter. This helps ensure that only meaningful moves are marked rather than small, random fluctuations.

Traditional order flow analysis may use bid/ask data, footprint charts, or volume profiles. Because TradingView scripts cannot access true order-book data, this indicator instead uses proxy signals derived from standard chart data:

FVG & iFVG LocatorThe FVG & iFVG Locator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed for traders utilizing price action strategies, particularly those inspired by Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. This indicator automatically detects and highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Inversion Fair Value Gaps (iFVGs) on your chart, helping you identify key areas of market inefficiency, imbalance, and potential reversal or continuation points.
What is a Fair Value Gap (FVG)?
A Fair Value Gap occurs when the market experiences a rapid, aggressive price movement in one direction, creating a "gap" or imbalance between the high and low wicks of consecutive candles where little to no trading activity took place. These gaps represent areas where price deviated from its "fair value," often due to strong buying or selling pressure. FVGs are commonly used to spot support/resistance zones, entry/exit opportunities, and inefficiencies that price may revisit to "fill" or mitigate.
What is an Inversion Fair Value Gap (iFVG)?
An iFVG forms when an existing FVG is mitigated (i.e., price returns to and closes the gap) but the imbalance persists, effectively inverting the gap's role. This can signal a potential reversal or a shift in market sentiment, as the mitigated area now acts as a new support or resistance level. iFVGs are especially useful in trending markets for confirming trade setups, taking profits, or identifying where trapped traders might fuel a counter-move.
Key Features:
Automatic Detection: Scans for bullish and bearish FVGs and iFVGs across any timeframe, plotting them clearly with customizable colors, labels, and lines for easy visualization.
Real-Time Updates: Dynamically adjusts to new price action, ensuring gaps are identified as they form without lag.
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility: Works seamlessly on intraday charts (e.g., 1-minute to 1-hour) for scalping or higher timeframes (daily/weekly) for swing trading.
Mitigation Tracking: Highlights when an FVG is filled and potentially transforms into an iFVG, providing insights into evolving market structure.
Customizable Settings: Adjust sensitivity thresholds, gap size filters, and display options to suit your trading style and avoid noise in volatile markets.
How to Use:
Identify Imbalances: Look for plotted FVGs as potential targets for price retracement. For example, in an uptrend, a bearish FVG below price might act as support.
Spot Reversals with iFVGs: When an FVG is mitigated and inverts, consider it a signal for entries in the opposite direction—e.g., a bullish iFVG could indicate a buy opportunity after a down move.
Combine with Other Tools: Pair with order blocks, liquidity levels, or moving averages for confluence. Use FVGs/iFVGs to set stop-losses below/above gaps or target gap fills for take-profits.
Risk Management: Always confirm with volume, candlestick patterns, or higher-timeframe analysis. FVGs/iFVGs are most effective in liquid markets like forex, indices, or cryptocurrencies.
This indicator empowers traders to navigate market imbalances with precision, enhancing decision-making in both trending and ranging conditions.
Note: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading involves risk; use this tool as part of a comprehensive strategy.

Whale VWAP HeatmapWhat it does
This indicator paints a heatmap around an anchored VWAP to make market context obvious at a glance.
Above VWAP → cyan background
Below VWAP → amber background
The farther price is from VWAP (in %), the stronger the color intensity.
How it works
Uses an anchored VWAP that resets on the period you choose (Session / Week / Month / Quarter / Year / Decade / Century / Earnings / Dividends / Splits).
Computes the percentage distance between price and VWAP, then maps that distance to background opacity.
Optional VWAP line can be shown/hidden.
Inputs (Settings)
Anchor Period — choose when VWAP resets (Session→Year, plus E/D/S options).
Source — price source (default hlc3).
Hide on D/W/M (Session only) — hides the script on Daily/Weekly/Monthly when anchor=Session (avoids NA behavior).
Enable Heatmap — turn background coloring on/off.
Max distance for full color (%) — at/above this % from VWAP, color hits full intensity (typical 0.5–2% depending on volatility).
Show VWAP Line / Line Color/Width — visual preference.
How to read it (quick playbook)
Context first: color tells you if price is trading above/below “fair value” (VWAP).
Intensity = how stretched price is from VWAP.
Use it to frame bias (above/below VWAP) and to avoid chasing extended moves.
Notes & limitations
Requires volume (VWAP is volume-weighted). If the data vendor doesn’t provide volume for the symbol, the script will stop.
For intraday, Session anchor is common. For swing/context, try Week or Month.

What is VWAP?
The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is the average price of a period weighted by traded volume. It’s used as a fair-value reference (mean) and resets at the start of each new period.
Included VWAP Modes
Session — resets each trading day (current session).
Week / Month / Quarter / Year — current calendar periods.
Anchored Week / Month / Quarter / Year — starts at the beginning of the previous completed period.
Rolling 7D / 30D / 90D — rolling windows: today + last 6/29/89 daily sessions.
Important
This suite does not generate buy/sell signals. It provides structure and confluence; decisions remain yours.
Use Cases
Identify fair-value zones / mean-reversion areas.
Plan TP / SL around periodic VWAPs.
Define DCA levels (e.g., anchored to prior week/month).
Gauge trend bias via VWAP slope and reactions.
How to Use
Inputs → VWAP 1..5: Choose the period per slot (Session, Anchored, Rolling, etc.) and toggle Show .
Sources: Select the price source for all VWAPs (default: HLC3).
Global: Line offset (bars) shifts plots visually (does not affect calculations).
Style tab: Adjust per-line colors, thickness, and line style.
Alerts
Price crosses a VWAP (per slot).
VWAP slope turns UP or DOWN (per slot).
Tips & Notes
Volume required: Poor/absent volume (e.g., some FX tickers) can degrade accuracy.
Anchored modes: Start at the prior period’s open; values appear only after that timestamp.
Rolling modes: Use completed daily sessions (including today).
Clutter control: If labels crowd, increase Line offset or hide unneeded slots.
Confluence: Combine with market structure, liquidity zones, or momentum filters for stronger context.
