Institutional Orderflow Pro — VWAP, Delta, and Liquidity
Institutional Orderflow Pro is a next-generation order flow analysis indicator designed to help traders identify institutional participation, directional bias, and exhaustion zones in real time.
Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, it merges VWAP dynamics, cumulative delta, relative volume, and liquidity proximity into a single unified dashboard that updates tick-by-tick — without repainting.
The indicator is open-source, transparent, and educational. It aims to provide traders with a clearer read on who controls the market — buyers or sellers — and where liquidity lies.
The indicator combines multiple institutional-grade analytics into one framework:
RVOL (Relative Volume) = Compares current volume against the average of recent bars to identify strong institutional participation.
zΔ (Delta Z-Score) = Normalizes the buying/selling delta to reveal unusually aggressive market behavior.
CVDΔ (Cumulative Volume Delta Change) = Shows which side (buyers/sellers) is dominating this bar’s order flow.
VWAP Direction & Slope = Determines whether price is trading above/below VWAP and whether VWAP is trending or flat.
PD Distance (Prev Day Confluence) = Measures the current price’s distance from previous day’s high, low, close, and VWAP in ATR units — highlighting liquidity zones.
ABS/EXH Detection = Identifies institutional absorption and exhaustion patterns where momentum may reverse.
Bias Computation = Combines VWAP direction + slope to give a simplified regime signal: UP, DOWN, or FLAT.
All metrics are displayed through a color-coded, non-repainting HUD:
🟢 = bullish / favorable conditions
🔴 = bearish / weak conditions
⚫ = neutral / flat
🟡 = absorption (potential trap zone)
🟠 = exhaustion (momentum fading)
| Metric | Signal | Meaning |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **RVOL ≥ 1.3** | 🟢 | High institutional activity — valid setup zone |
| **zΔ ≥ 1.2 / ≤ -1.2** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Unusual buy/sell aggression |
| **CVDΔ > 0** | 🟢 | Buyers dominate this bar |
| **VWAP dir ↑ / ↓** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Institutional bias long/short |
| **Slope ok = YES** | 🟢 | Trending market |
| **PD dist ≤ 0.35 ATR** | 🟢 | Near key liquidity zones |
| **Bias = UP/DOWN** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Trend-aligned environment |
| **ABS/EXH active** | 🟡 / 🟠 | Caution — possible reversal zone |
How to Use
Confirm Volume Context → RVOL > 1.2
Align with Bias → Take longs only when Bias = UP, shorts only when Bias = DOWN.
Check Slope and VWAP Dir → Ensure trending context (Slope = YES).
Confirm CVD and zΔ → Flow should agree with price direction.
Avoid ABS/EXH Triggers → These signal exhaustion or absorption by large players.
Enter Near PD Zones → Ideal trade zones are within 0.35 ATR of prior-day levels.
This multi-factor confirmation reduces noise and focuses only on high-probability institutional setups.
Originality
This script was written from scratch in Pine v6.
It does not reuse existing public indicators except for standard built-ins (ta.vwap, ta.atr, etc.).
The unique combination of delta z-scoring, VWAP slope filtering, and real-time confluence zones distinguishes it from typical orderflow tools or cumulative delta overlays.
The core innovation is its merged real-time HUD that integrates institutional metrics and natural-language feedback directly on the chart, allowing traders to read market context intuitively rather than decode multiple subplots.
Notes & Disclaimers
This indicator does not repaint.
It’s intended for educational and analytical purposes only — not as financial advice or a guaranteed signal system.
Works best on liquid instruments (Futures, Indices, FX majors).
Avoid non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.) for accurate readings.
Open-source, modifiable, and compatible with Pine v6.
Recommended Use
Apply it with clean charts and standard candles for the best clarity.
Use alongside a basic structure or volume profile to contextualize institutional bias zones.

Sicari Momentum OscillatorSicari Momentum Oscillator (SMO)
What is it?
The Sicari Momentum Oscillator (SMO) is a price–volume momentum framework designed to quantify directional conviction in the market. It measures the acceleration of price movement relative to underlying participation, highlighting when momentum is being confirmed or contradicted by volume flow.
i) Uses exponential moving averages (EMAs) to calculate momentum rather than SMAs for faster response
ii) Identifies bullish and bearish divergences between price and momentum to anticipate exhaustion
iii) Integrates On-Balance Volume (OBV) to map volume momentum in real time
iv) Flags confluence where both price and volume momentum align, signalling stronger continuation potential
How it works
i) When EMAs expand or contract, the histogram adjusts dynamically to visualise the strength and direction of momentum
ii) Divergences appear when price and oscillator move in opposite directions - often preceding local tops or bottoms
iii) OBV is processed through the same EMA structure to produce a clean, comparable momentum curve
iv) Confluence dots appear only when both price and volume momentum agree in direction, marking periods of high-quality momentum
How to use it
i) Combine with the main Sicari indicator to validate directional bias and detect early trend transitions
ii) Watch for divergence to anticipate potential reversals or waning momentum
iii) Confluence dots indicate alignment between price and participation - a signal of underlying market strength or weakness
🟢 Bullish confluence when both price and volume expand upward
🔴 Bearish confluence when both contract in unison
The SMO distills the market’s internal rhythm into a single, adaptive pulse - delivering institutional-grade precision, clarity, and timing within the Sicari ecosystem.
VWAP + Multi-Condition RSI Signals + FibonacciPlatform / System
Platform: TradingView
Language: Pine Script® v6
Purpose: This script is an overlay indicator for technical analysis on charts. It combines multiple tools: VWAP, RSI signals, and Fibonacci levels.
1️⃣ VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
What it does:
Plots the VWAP line on the chart, which is a weighted average price based on volume.
Can be anchored to different periods: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Century, or corporate events like Earnings, Dividends, Splits.
Optionally plots bands above and below VWAP based on standard deviation or a percentage.
Supports up to 3 bands with customizable multipliers.
Will not display if the timeframe is daily or higher and the hideonDWM option is enabled.
Visual on chart: A main VWAP line with optional shaded bands.
2️⃣ RSI (Relative Strength Index) Signals
What it does:
Calculates RSI with a configurable period.
Identifies overbought and oversold zones using user-defined levels.
Generates buy/sell signals based on:
RSI crossing above oversold → Buy
RSI crossing below overbought → Sell
Detects strong signals using divergences:
Bullish divergence: Price makes lower low, RSI makes higher low → Strong Buy
Bearish divergence: Price makes higher high, RSI makes lower high → Strong Sell
Optional momentum signals when RSI crosses 50 after recent overbought/oversold conditions.
Visual on chart:
Triangles for buy/sell
Different color triangles/circles for strong and momentum signals
Background shading in RSI overbought/oversold zones
Alerts: The script can trigger alerts when any of these signals occur.
3️⃣ Fibonacci Levels
What it does:
Calculates Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on the highest high and lowest low over a configurable lookback period.
Plots standard Fibonacci levels: 0.146, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0
Plots extension levels: 1.272, 1.618, 2.0, 2.618
Helps identify potential support/resistance zones.
Visual on chart: Horizontal lines at each Fibonacci level, shaded with different transparencies.
Summary
This script is essentially a multi-tool trading indicator that combines:
VWAP with dynamic bands for trend analysis and price positioning
RSI signals with divergences for entry/exit points
Fibonacci retracement and extension levels for support/resistance
It is interactive and visual, providing both chart overlays and alert functionality for active trading strategies.

Dobrusky Volume PulseWhat it does & who it’s for
Volume Pulse is a lightweight, customizable volume profile overlay that shows traders how volume is distributed across price levels over a chosen lookback window. Unlike standard profiles, it also maps cumulative buy/sell pressure at each level, so you see not just where volume clustered, but which side dominated.
Core ideas
Cumulative volume by price: Builds a horizontal profile of traded volume at each level, based on user-defined depth and resolution.
Directional pressure mapping: At every price level, the script accumulates bullish vs. bearish volume based on candle closes vs. opens, providing a directional read on whether buyers or sellers had the upper hand.
POC: Automatically highlights the Point of Control (POC) — the level with the most activity.
Customizable presentation: Adjustable profile resolution, bar width, offset, colors, and whether to show cumulative, directional, or both.
How the components work together
The profile provides the “where,” while the buy/sell mapping adds the “who.” By combining these, traders can see whether a high-volume node was buyer-driven absorption or seller-driven distribution — a distinction classic profiles don’t reveal. This directional overlay reduces the guesswork of interpreting raw volume clusters.
How to use
Apply the overlay to your chart.
Watch the POC and areas of significant increase or decrease in volume (and pressure) as natural magnets or rejection areas.
When trading intraday, I've found that higher timeframe volume levels act as strong magnets. In the chart, you can see the volume levels I've drawn on the SPY daily chart. These levels are targets I use when trading the 5-minute chart.
Pay attention to color dominance at those zones — green-heavy nodes suggest buyer control; red-heavy nodes suggest seller control.
Combine with time-based volume tools and price-action for a more comprehensive trade plan.
Settings overview
Lookback depth: Number of bars used for profile calculation.
Profile resolution: Number of horizontal bars to split volume across price.
Bar style: Width, offset, and multiplier for scaling.
Toggle layers: Choose cumulative, directional, or both.
POC display: Optional highlight of the most traded level.
Limitations & best practices
This is a contextual overlay, not a trade-signal system.
Works best on liquid instruments (indices, futures, major stocks, liquid crypto) where volume distribution is meaningful.
Directional mapping uses candle body bias (close vs. open), not raw order flow. For full tape analysis, pair with actual order flow data.
Originality justification
Dual profile: combines cumulative volume-by-price and buyer/seller pressure per bin (close vs. open) — not a standard VP clone.
From-scratch binning + POC in a single pass for speed; no reused libraries.
Flexible display (cumulative / directional / both) with independent resolution, width, and offset for intraday or HTF use.
Clear visuals (optional POC, balanced node coloring) and open-source code so traders can audit and extend.

Volume Cluster Heatmap [BackQuant]Volume Cluster Heatmap
A visualization tool that maps traded volume across price levels over a chosen lookback period. It highlights where the market builds balance through heavy participation and where it moves efficiently through low-volume zones. By combining a heatmap, volume profile, and high/low volume node detection, this indicator reveals structural areas of support, resistance, and liquidity that drive price behavior.
What Are Volume Clusters?
A volume cluster is a horizontal aggregation of traded volume at specific price levels, showing where market participants concentrated their buying and selling.
High Volume Nodes (HVN) : Price levels with significant trading activity; often act as support or resistance.
Low Volume Nodes (LVN) : Price levels with little trading activity; price moves quickly through these areas, reflecting low liquidity.
Volume clusters help identify key structural zones, reveal potential reversals, and gauge market efficiency by highlighting where the market is balanced versus areas of thin liquidity.
By creating heatmaps, profiles, and highlighting high and low volume nodes (HVNs and LVNs), it allows traders to see where the market builds balance and where it moves efficiently through thin liquidity zones.
Example: Bitcoin breaking away from the high-volume zone near 118k and moving cleanly through the low-volume pocket around 113k–115k, illustrating how markets seek efficiency:
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components:
Heatmap Display : Displays volume intensity as colored boxes, lines, or a combination for a dynamic view of market participation.
Volume Profile Overlay : Shows cumulative volume per price level along the right-hand side of the chart.
HVN & LVN Labels : Marks high and low volume nodes with color-coded lines and labels.
Customizable Colors & Transparency : Adjust high and low volume colors and minimum transparency for clear differentiation.
Session Reset & Timeframe Control : Dynamically resets clusters at the start of new sessions or chosen timeframes (intraday, daily, weekly).
Alerts
HVN / LVN Alerts : Notify when price reaches a significant high or low volume node.
High Volume Zone Alerts : Trigger when price enters the top X% of cumulative volume, signaling key areas of market interest.
How It Works
Each bar’s volume is distributed proportionally across the horizontal price levels it touches. Over the lookback period, this builds a cumulative volume profile, identifying price levels with the most and least trading activity. The highest cumulative volume levels become HVNs, while the lowest are LVNs. A side volume profile shows aggregated volume per level, and a heatmap overlay visually reinforces market structure.
Applications for Traders
Identify strong support and resistance at HVNs.
Detect areas of low liquidity where price may move quickly (LVNs).
Determine market balance zones where price may consolidate.
Filter noise: because volume clusters aggregate activity into levels, minor fluctuations and irrelevant micro-moves are removed, simplifying analysis and improving strategy development.
Combine with other indicators such as VWAP, Supertrend, or CVD for higher-probability entries and exits.
Use volume clusters to anticipate price reactions to breaking points in thin liquidity zones.
Advanced Display Options
Heatmap Styles : Boxes, lines, or both. Boxes provide a traditional heatmap, lines are better for high granularity data.
Line Mode Example : Simplified line visualization for easier reading at high level counts:
Profile Width & Offset : Adjust spacing and placement of the volume profile for clarity alongside price.
Transparency Control : Lower transparency for more opaque visualization of high-volume zones.
Best Practices for Usage
Reduce the number of levels when using line mode to avoid clutter.
Use HVN and LVN markers in conjunction with volume profiles to plan entries and exits.
Apply session resets to monitor intraday vs. multi-day volume accumulation.
Combine with other technical indicators to confirm high-probability trading signals.
Watch price interactions with LVNs for potential rapid movements and with HVNs for possible support/resistance or reversals.
Technical Notes
Each bar contributes volume proportionally to the price levels it spans, creating a dynamic and accurate representation of traded interest.
Volume profiles are scaled and offset for visual clarity alongside live price.
Alerts are fully integrated for HVN/LVN interaction and high-volume zone entries.
Optimized to handle large lookback windows and numerous price levels efficiently without performance degradation.
This indicator is ideal for understanding market structure, detecting key liquidity areas, and filtering out noise to model price more accurately in high-frequency or algorithmic strategies.
RSI VWAP v1 [JopAlgo]RSI VWAP v1.1 made stronger by volume-aware!
We know there's nothing new and the original RSI already does an excellent job. We're just working on small, practical improvements – here's our take: The same basic idea, clearer display, and a single, specially developed rolling line: a VWAP of the RSI that incorporates volume (participation) into the calculation.
Do you prefer the pure classic?
You can still use Wilder or Cutler engines –
but the star here is the VW-RSI + rolling line.
This RSI also offers the possibility of illustrating a possible
POC (Point of Control - or the HAL or VAL) level.
However, the indicator does NOT plot any of these levels itself.
We have included an illustration in the chart for this!
We hope this version makes your decision-making easier.
What you’ll see
The RSI line with a 50 midline and optional bands: either static 70/30 or adaptive μ±k·σ of the Rolling Line.
One smoothing concept only: the Rolling Line (light blue) = VWAP of RSI.
Shadow shading between RSI and the Rolling Line (green when RSI > line, red when RSI < line).
A lighter tint only on the parts of that shadow that sit above the upper band or below the lower band (quick overbought/oversold context).
Simple divergence lines drawn from RSI pivots (green for regular bullish, red for regular bearish). No labels, no buy/sell text—kept deliberately clean.
What’s new, and why it helps
VW-RSI engine (default):
RSI can be computed from volume-weighted up/down moves, so momentum reflects how much traded when price moved—not just the direction.
Rolling Line (VWAP of RSI) with pure VWAP adaptation:
Low volume: blends toward a faster VWAP so early, thin starts aren’t missed.
Volume spikes: blends toward a slower VWAP so a single heavy bar doesn’t whip the curve.
You can reveal the Base Rolling (pre-adaptation) line to see exactly how much adaptation is happening.
Adaptive bands (optional):
Instead of fixed 70/30, use mean ± k·stdev of the Rolling Line over a lookback. Levels breathe with the market—useful in strong trends where static bounds stay pinned.
Minimal, readable panel:
One smoothing, one story. The shadow tells you who’s in control; the lighter highlight shows stretch beyond your lines.
How to read it (fast)
Bias: RSI above 50 (and a rising Rolling Line) → bullish bias; below 50 → bearish bias.
Trigger: RSI crossing the Rolling Line with the bias (e.g., above 50 and crossing up).
Stretch: Near/above the upper band, avoid chasing; near/below the lower band, avoid panic—prefer a cross back through the line.
Divergence lines: Use as context, not as standalone signals. They often help you wait for the next cross or avoid late entries into exhaustion.
Settings that actually matter
RSI Engine: VW-RSI (default), Wilder, or Cutler.
Rolling Line Length: the VWAP length on RSI (higher = calmer, lower = earlier).
Adaptive behavior (pure VWAP):
Speed-up on Low Volume → blends toward fast VWAP (factor of your length).
Dampen Spikes (volume z-score) → blends toward slow VWAP.
Fast/Slow Factors → how far those fast/slow variants sit from the base length.
Bands: choose Static 70/30 or Adaptive μ±k·σ (set the lookback and k).
Visuals: show/hide Base Rolling (ref), main shadow, and highlight beyond bands.
Signal gating: optional “ignore first bars” per day/session if you dislike open noise.
Starter presets
Scalp (1–5m): RSI 9–12, Rolling 12–18, FastFactor ~0.5, SlowFactor ~2.0, Adaptive on.
Intraday (15m–1H): RSI 10–14, Rolling 18–26, Bands k = 1.0–1.4.
Swing (4H–1D): RSI 14–20, Rolling 26–40, Bands k = 1.2–1.8, Adaptive on.
Where it shines (and limits)
Best: liquid markets where volume structure matters (majors, indices, large caps).
Works elsewhere: even with imperfect volume, the shadow + bands remain useful.
Limits: very thin/illiquid assets reduce the benefit of volume-weighting—lengthen settings if needed.

Anchored VWAP Polyline [CHE] Anchored VWAP Polyline — Anchored VWAP drawn as a polyline from a user-defined bar count with last-bar updates and optional labels
Summary
This indicator renders an anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price as a continuous polyline starting from a user-selected anchor point a specified number of bars back. It accumulates price multiplied by volume only from the anchor forward and resets cleanly when the anchor moves. Drawing is object-based (polyline and labels) and updated on the most recent bar only, which reduces flicker and avoids excessive redraws. Optional labels mark the anchor and, conditionally, a delta label when the current close is below the historical close at the anchor offset.
Motivation: Why this design?
Anchored VWAP is often used to track fair value after a specific event such as a swing, breakout, or session start. Traditional plot-based lines can repaint during live updates or incur overhead when frequently redrawn. This implementation focuses on explicit state management, last-bar rendering, and object recycling so the line stays stable while remaining responsive when the anchor changes. The design emphasizes deterministic updates and simple session gating from the anchor.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Classic VWAP lines plotted from session open or full history.
Architecture differences:
Anchor defined by a fixed bar offset rather than session or day boundaries.
Object-centric drawing via `polyline` with an array of `chart.point` objects.
Last-bar update pattern with deletion and replacement of the polyline to apply all points cleanly.
Conditional labels: an anchor marker and an optional delta label only when the current close is below the historical close at the offset.
Practical effect: You get a visually continuous anchored VWAP that resets when the anchor shifts and remains clean on chart refreshes. The labels act as lightweight diagnostics without clutter.
How it works (technical)
The anchor index is computed as the latest bar index minus the user-defined bar count.
A session flag turns true from the anchor forward; prior bars are excluded.
Two persistent accumulators track the running sum of price multiplied by volume and the running sum of volume; they reset when the session flag turns from false to true.
The anchored VWAP is the running sum divided by the running volume whenever both are valid and the volume is not zero.
Points are appended to an array only when the anchored VWAP is valid. On the most recent bar, any existing polyline is deleted and replaced with a new one built from the point array.
Labels are refreshed on the most recent bar:
A yellow warning label appears when there are not enough bars to compute the reference values.
The anchor label marks the anchor bar.
The delta label appears only when the current close is below the close at the anchor offset; otherwise it is suppressed.
No higher-timeframe requests are used; repaint is limited to normal live-bar behavior.
Parameter Guide
Bars back — Sets the anchor offset in bars; default two hundred thirty-three; minimum one. Larger values extend the anchored period and increase stability but respond more slowly to regime changes.
Labels — Toggles all labels; default enabled. Disable to keep the chart clean when using multiple instances.
Reading & Interpretation
The polyline represents the anchored VWAP from the chosen anchor to the current bar. Price above the line suggests strength relative to the anchored baseline; price below suggests weakness.
The anchor label shows where the accumulation starts.
The delta label appears only when today’s close is below the historical close at the offset; it provides a quick context for negative drift relative to that reference.
A yellow message at the current bar indicates the chart does not have enough history to compute the reference comparison yet.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Anchor after a breakout bar or a swing confirmation. Use the anchored VWAP as dynamic support or resistance; look for clean retests and holds for continuation.
Mean reversion: Anchor at a local extreme and watch for approaches back toward the line; require structure confirmation to avoid early entries.
Session or event studies: Re-set the anchor around earnings, macro releases, or session opens by adjusting the bar offset.
Combinations: Pair with structure tools such as swing highs and lows, or with volatility measures to filter chop. The labels can be disabled when combining multiple instances to maintain chart clarity.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: The line is updated on the most recent bar only; historical values do not rely on future bars. Normal live-bar movement applies until the bar closes.
No higher timeframe: There is no `security` call; repaint paths related to higher-timeframe lookahead do not apply here.
Resources: Uses one polyline object that is rebuilt on the most recent bar, plus two labels when conditions are met. `max_bars_back` is two thousand. Arrays store points from the anchor forward; extremely long anchors or very long charts increase memory usage.
Known limits: With very thin volume, the VWAP can be unavailable for some bars. Very large anchors reduce responsiveness. Labels use ATR for vertical placement; extreme gaps can place them close to extremes.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: Bars back two hundred thirty-three with Labels enabled works well on many assets and timeframes.
Too noisy around the line: Increase Bars back to extend the accumulation window.
Too sluggish after regime changes: Decrease Bars back to focus on a shorter anchored period.
Chart clutter with multiple instances: Disable Labels while keeping the polyline visible.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization of an anchored VWAP with optional diagnostics. It is not a full trading system and does not include entries, exits, or position management. Use it alongside clear market structure, risk controls, and a plan for trade management. It does not predict future prices.
Inputs with defaults
Bars back: two hundred thirty-three bars, minimum one.
Labels: enabled or disabled toggle, default enabled.
Pine version: v6
Overlay: true
Primary outputs: one polyline, optional labels (anchor, conditional delta, and a warning when insufficient bars).
Metrics and functions: volume, ATR for label offset, object drawing via polyline and chart points, last-bar update pattern.
Special techniques: session gating from the anchor, persistent state, object recycling, explicit guards against unavailable values and zero volume.
Compatibility and assets: Designed for standard candlestick or bar charts across liquid assets and common timeframes.
Diagnostics: Yellow warning label when history is insufficient.

Proteus EMA SystemInstitutional-Grade EMA System
Overview and Originality
The Institutional-Grade EMA System is an advanced, multi-layered Exponential Moving Average (EMA) overlay indicator designed to provide institutional-level trend analysis, market regime identification, and trade signal generation. Unlike standard multi-EMA scripts that simply plot averages and basic crossovers, this indicator introduces a proprietary integration of features tailored for professional traders: customizable presets that dynamically adjust EMA lengths for specific trading styles (e.g., scalping vs. position trading), multiple selectable trend detection algorithms (including a unique multi-bar slope analysis with percentage-based strength thresholding), EMA alignment and confluence detection for spotting high-conviction trends and reversal zones, volume-based signal filtering, and a comprehensive statistics dashboard for real-time market insights.
What makes this script original and worthy of closed-source protection is the bespoke combination of these elements into a cohesive system. For instance, while basic EMA ribbons or trend coloring exist in other indicators, this script's trend detection goes beyond simple comparisons by incorporating a normalized slope percentage calculation (detailed below) to quantify trend strength on a 0-100% scale, integrated with EMA stacking checks and confluence thresholds. This proprietary logic—refined through extensive backtesting on diverse assets—allows for nuanced market regime classification (e.g., "Strong Uptrend" only when alignment, slope strength, and volume align), which isn't replicated in open-source alternatives. The closed-source format protects the exact orchestration of these algorithms, including custom threshold derivations and dashboard computations, preventing direct replication while allowing users full access to the tool's outputs. If published open-source, the unique mathematical formulations (e.g., slope-to-strength mapping) could be easily copied, diminishing its edge in competitive trading environments.
This indicator draws conceptual inspiration from institutional trend-following systems (e.g., those using multiple time-horizon EMAs like in hedge fund models), but enhances them with modern Pine Script capabilities for visual and analytical depth. It's particularly useful for traders seeking to reduce false signals in volatile markets by requiring multi-factor confluence.
What It Does
Core EMA Plotting and Visualization: Plots up to 7 EMAs (5 primary + 2 optional) with dynamic coloring based on detected trend direction and strength (strong bullish: bright green; weak: faded green; neutral: gray; etc.). Includes EMA ribbons (fills between consecutive EMAs) and clouds (broader fills between non-consecutive EMAs) to visualize trend expansion/contraction.
Trend Detection and Strength: Classifies trends as strong/weak bullish/bearish or neutral using user-selectable methods, with optional volume confirmation to filter low-conviction moves.
Advanced Analytics:
Detects EMA alignment (all EMAs stacked in ascending/descending order for bullish/bearish trends).
Identifies EMA confluence zones (tight clustering of EMAs, signaling potential reversals or consolidations).
Draws dynamic support/resistance lines from the nearest EMAs relative to price.
Signals and Alerts: Generates buy/sell signals on customizable EMA crossovers, only if volume thresholds are met. Includes alerts for crossovers, alignments, confluences, and regime shifts.
User Interface Enhancements: Background coloring for quick trend bias (e.g., green for uptrends, yellow for confluences), dynamic line widths (thicker for slower EMAs), trend state labels, and a table-based dashboard displaying metrics like market regime, trend strength percentage, EMA slopes in degrees, price distances to key EMAs, volume status, and alignment state.
Customization Presets: Pre-configured EMA lengths for Scalping (short, reactive: e.g., 5/8/13), Day Trading (balanced: 9/21/50), Swing Trading (medium-term: 20/50/100), Position Trading (long-term: 50/100/150), or fully custom.
The result is a versatile tool that adapts to any timeframe or asset, helping traders identify high-probability setups by combining trend momentum, volume, and EMA dynamics.
How It Works: Underlying Concepts and Calculations
Without revealing the full implementation, here's a transparent overview of the key concepts and methodologies to help users understand the indicator's logic:
EMA Calculation and Presets: EMAs are computed using standard exponential smoothing (weighting recent prices more heavily). Presets optimize lengths based on trading horizon—shorter for scalping to capture quick reversals, longer for position trading to filter noise. For example, Swing preset uses 20/50/100/150/200 to balance short-term pullbacks with long-term trends, derived from Fibonacci-inspired progressions for natural market rhythm alignment.
Trend Detection Methods: Users select from four algorithms for flexibility:
Multi-Bar Slope (Default): Calculates the average slope over a lookback period (e.g., 3 bars) as (current EMA value - EMA value ) / lookback. Normalizes to a percentage relative to the EMA value: slope_percent = (slope / EMA) * 100. Thresholds classify trends (e.g., >0.05% = strong bullish; 0.01-0.05% = weak; symmetric for bearish). This method draws from linear regression concepts but simplifies for real-time use, providing robust trend quantification over simple bar-to-bar changes.
Previous Bar: Compares current EMA to the prior bar's, with percentage change thresholds (e.g., >0.1% = strong) for quick momentum shifts.
EMA vs EMA: Measures the percentage difference between fast and slow EMAs (e.g., >2% = strong bullish), inspired by MACD-like divergence but applied directly to EMAs.
Price Position: Gauges price's percentage distance from the EMA (e.g., >1% above = strong bullish), similar to envelope channels but integrated into trend coloring.
Trend strength is further scored (0-100%) by averaging absolute slopes of key EMAs, scaled for dashboard display.
Volume Confirmation: Uses a simple moving average of volume over a user-defined length (default 20), requiring current volume to exceed it by a multiplier (default 1.2x) for signal validation. This filters out low-volume fakeouts, akin to institutional volume-weighted strategies.
EMA Alignment: Checks if all visible EMAs are in strict order (fastest highest in uptrends, lowest in downtrends) by iterating through active EMAs and verifying sequential relationships. Signals "ALIGNED" shapes when true, indicating stacked trends like in ribbon strategies but with programmatic validation.
EMA Confluence: Computes the average of active EMAs, then measures the maximum percentage deviation of any EMA from this average. If below a threshold (default 0.5%), marks a "CONFLUENCE ZONE" box, conceptually similar to Bollinger Band squeezes but applied to EMA clusters for reversal anticipation.
Market Regime Classification: Combines alignment, trend score (>30% for "strong"), and price position relative to slowest EMA. For example, bullish alignment + high score = "Strong Uptrend"; close clustering = "Consolidation". This heuristic draws from regime-switching models in quantitative finance.
Signals and Visuals: Crossovers between user-selected EMAs (e.g., fast #1 over slow #2) plot "BUY/SELL" shapes only if volume-confirmed. Ribbons use color fills (green/red) based on EMA order; background shades reflect regime; S/R lines extend from max/min EMAs below/above price over a lookback (default 50 bars).
These calculations ensure the indicator provides actionable, multi-confirmed insights rather than generic plots.
How to Use It
Setup: Add to your chart and select a preset (e.g., "Swing Trading" for 1H-4H charts). Customize trend method (start with "Multi-Bar Slope" for accuracy), enable volume filter for reliability, and toggle visuals like ribbons or dashboard.
Trend Following: In a "Strong Uptrend" (green background, upward slopes >30%, bullish alignment), go long above the fastest EMA. Use S/R lines for stops (below nearest support EMA).
Swing Trading Example: On a daily SPX chart with Swing preset:
Wait for "Weak Uptrend" transition to "Strong" (trend score >50%, positive slopes, volume spike).
Enter long on EMA1 (20) crossing EMA2 (50), confirmed by "BUY" signal.
Target next resistance EMA (e.g., 150), exit on bearish crossover or confluence zone (yellow box signaling potential top).
Risk: Stop below EMA3 (100); aim for 2:1 reward:risk on multi-day holds.
Scalp Trading Example: On a 5-min BTCUSD chart with Scalping preset:
Focus on quick "Weak Bullish" shifts (faded green EMAs, slope >0.01%).
Buy on EMA1 (5) crossing EMA3 (13) with high volume (>1.5x avg).
Scalp 0.2-0.5% gains, exit at slope flattening (dashboard shows <30% strength) or nearest resistance.
Avoid confluences (chop); use 1-min for entries, 15-min for bias.
General Tips:
Combine with price action (e.g., candlestick patterns at confluence zones).
Backtest presets on your asset—adjust thresholds for volatility (e.g., tighter confluence for forex).
Use alerts for hands-off monitoring; multi-timeframe analysis enhances accuracy (higher TF for regime, lower for signals).
For ranging markets ("Neutral" regime), fade extremes near S/R zones.
Examples for Swing Trading
Swing trading focuses on capturing medium-term moves (days to weeks) in trending markets. Use the "Swing Trading" preset, which sets EMAs to 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 75, 125—balancing sensitivity and smoothness.
Bullish Setup Example: On a daily chart of AAPL, wait for a "Strong Uptrend" regime (green background, bullish alignment label, trend strength >50%). Enter long on a valid bullish crossover (green "BUY" circle) between EMA1 (20) and EMA2 (50), confirmed by high volume. Set stop below nearest support EMA (e.g., EMA3 at 100), target 2-3x risk or next resistance. Hold until bearish crossover or alignment breaks.
Bearish Setup Example: On a 4H chart of EURUSD, spot a "Strong Downtrend" (red background, bearish alignment). Short on a bearish crossover (red "SELL") between EMA1 and EMA3, with volume confirmation. Stop above nearest resistance EMA, exit on confluence zone (yellow) signaling potential reversal.
Tip: Focus on alignments for trend confirmation—avoid trading against them. Use confluence zones as profit-taking areas in ranging markets.
Examples for Scalp Trading
Scalping targets quick, short-term trades (minutes to hours) on lower timeframes. Select the "Scalping" preset for shorter EMAs (5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89) to catch rapid moves.
Bullish Setup Example: On a 1-min chart of BTCUSD, look for "Weak Uptrend" (faded green background, positive slopes). Enter long on a fast crossover (e.g., EMA1 over EMA2) with high volume and no confluence (avoid chop). Scalp for 0.5-1% gain, exit on slope flattening or bearish cross. Use tight stops below the fastest EMA.
Bearish Setup Example: On a 5-min chart of TSLA, identify "Weak Downtrend" (faded red). Short on a crossover between EMA2 and EMA3, confirmed by volume spike. Target small moves (e.g., 10-20 pips), exit at nearest support EMA or if trend strength drops below 30%.
Tip: Prioritize "Multi-Bar Slope" detection for quick trend shifts. Disable background if it's distracting; focus on crossovers and volume for high-frequency entries. Avoid during confluences, as they signal choppy conditions.
This detailed approach ensures traders can replicate setups while appreciating the indicator's original value. Feedback welcome—let's refine trading edges together!
Order Flow RSI - Price / CVD / OIOrder Flow RSI blends three powerful market perspectives — Price , Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) , and Open Interest (OI) — into one unified RSI-style oscillator.
It reveals momentum and imbalance across these data streams and highlights situations where participation, liquidity, and positioning disagree — moments that often precede reversals.
What it does
The indicator converts:
Price → RSI (classic momentum),
CVD → RSI (buy/sell pressure balance),
OI → RSI (position expansion/contraction)
…then plots all three RSIs together on the same 0–100 scale.
A fourth Consensus RSI (average of any two or all three) can optionally be shown to simplify the view.
Core logic
CVD engine – based on TradingView’s native volume-delta request.
Modes: Continuous (default, smooth line), Anchored (resets each session), Rolling window.
Open Interest – pulled automatically from the symbol’s “_OI” feed; aligns to chart timeframe for real-time flow.
RSI calculation – standard RSI applied to each data stream, optionally smoothed (SMA / EMA / RMA / WMA / VWMA).
Signals – optional background highlights when:
All three RSIs are overbought (red) or oversold (green), or
Any pair show opposite extremes (e.g., price overbought + OI oversold).
Consensus RSI – arithmetic mean of the selected RSIs, summarizing overall market tone.
Inputs overview
CVD settings: anchor period, lower-TF delta, mode, rolling length
RSI lengths: separate for price, CVD, OI
Smoothing: type + period applied to all RSIs at once
Consensus: choose which RSIs to average
Signals: enable/disable each combination; optional alerts
Levels: adjustable OB/MID/OS (default 70 / 50 / 30)
Visuals: fill between active RSIs, background highlights, level lines, colors in Style tab
How to read it
All 3 overbought (red): broad exhaustion → possible correction
All 3 oversold (green): broad depletion → possible bounce
Opposite pairs: divergence between price and participation
Price↑ but OI↓ (red) → weak rally, fading participation
Price↓ but CVD↑ (green) → hidden accumulation
Combine with structure and volume profile for confirmation.
Notes
Works best on assets with full CVD + OI data (futures, BTC, etc.).
Use Continuous CVD for smooth RSI, Anchored for session analysis.
Smoothing 2–5 EMA is a good starting point to reduce noise.
All styling (colors, line types, thickness) is adjustable in the Style tab.
Limitations & caveats
CVD requires accurate tick/volume/delta data from your data feed. Performance may differ across instruments.
OI availability varies by exchange / symbol. Where OI is absent, pairwise OI signals are not evaluated.
This indicator is a tool — it generates signals of interest, not guaranteed profitable trades. Backtest and combine with your risk rules.
Smoothing introduces lag; longer smoothing reduces noise but delays signals.
Order Flow RSI bridges traditional momentum analysis and order-flow context — giving a multi-dimensional view of when markets are truly stretched or quietly reloading.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Volume Profile Two-Tone - Hit Counter - Meter V1 Volume Profile Two-Tone - Hit Counter - Meter V1
Overview
The Volume Profile Two-Tone - Hit Counter - Meter V1 is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView, designed to visualize buy and sell activity distribution across price levels within a user-defined window or intraday session. It plots a dual-color horizontal histogram showing buying (green) and selling (red) volume intensity, along with optional hit-count numbers and meter overlays. The profile dynamically updates as new bars form, providing an intuitive picture of where market participants are most active.
The enhanced V1 edition introduces persistent hit counts, real-time adaptive row rebuilding, and improved memory management for smoother performance in both rolling-window and session modes.
How It Works
The indicator divides the selected range into rows (price bins) and aggregates trade volume (or tick volume) per bar.
Each bin separately sums up bullish and bearish contributions based on candle direction and delta logic, then draws side-by-side histogram bars:
• Buy Volume (green): Total volume from bullish bars within the bin.
• Sell Volume (red): Total volume from bearish bars within the bin.
A rolling or session-based window determines how many recent bars are analyzed. Value Area (VA), Point of Control (POC), and total hits per bin are computed continuously. The display auto-adjusts as price moves, keeping the profile anchored to the latest visible bars.
Behind the scenes, optimized arrays manage active boxes, lines, and labels for each bin. Functions like ensure_rows() rebuild buffers only when necessary, guaranteeing efficiency without repainting past data. Persistent hit-tracking ensures each price level maintains its count even when temporarily hidden.
Key Features
• Dual-Tone Volume Histogram: Buy/sell split with distinct colors for immediate visual contrast.
• Rolling or Session Profiles: Choose between continuous rolling windows or intraday session resets.
• Persistent Hit Counts: Displays total touches per bin, remaining stored even when bins refresh.
• Adaptive Row Management: Automatic rebuilding when zooming, scrolling, or changing resolution.
• Value Area + POC Detection: Highlights the most active price levels and volume concentration zones.
• Meter Overlay Option: Adds gradient bars or directional meters for quick trend context.
• Performance Optimized: Uses lightweight arrays and cached line handles for minimal CPU load.
• Custom Color Control: Editable buy/sell colors, opacity, row count, and profile width.
• Full Persistence Mode: Profiles remain visually consistent across bar updates without redraw gaps.
What It Displays
The Volume Profile Two-Tone - Hit Counter - Meter V1 presents an adaptive horizontal histogram beside the chart’s candles, revealing how volume is distributed across price.
• Green segments show dominant buying interest; red segments reveal selling pressure.
• POC line identifies the highest-volume price.
• Hit-count numbers quantify how often price traded at each level.
• Optional meters display relative directional strength within the same range.
This visual layering helps traders quickly identify supply/demand zones, balance areas, and developing auction profiles across intraday or multi-session contexts.
Originality
The Pine Script v6 indicator uses efficient array management (array.new_*, array.set, array.get) and native math operations for rendering.
It avoids external dependencies, relying only on built-in TradingView functions like request.security, box.new, line.new, and label.new for dynamic plotting.
Common Ways People Use It
• Scalpers: Study short-term imbalances or high-activity levels to time entries/exits.
• Day Traders: Track evolving session volume and POC migration.
• Swing Analysts: Compare rolling distributions to identify value shifts over multiple days.
• Volume Profilers: Combine with VWAP or order-flow tools for deeper context.
Configuration Notes
Profile Mode: Select Rolling Window (bars) or Session (intraday).
Rows and Width: Default = 72 rows, 44 bars width.
Colors and Opacity: Adjust to match chart theme.
Performance Mode: Choose Accurate or Fast (approximate) for speed control.
Show Hits / Meter: Enable hit-count numbers and gradient meters for added context.

Volume v4 (Dollar Value) by Koenigsegg📊 Volume v3 (Dollar Value) by Koenigsegg
🎯 Purpose:
Volume v3 (Dollar Value) by Koenigsegg transforms traditional raw-unit volume into dollar-denominated volume, revealing how much money actually flows through each candle.
Instead of measuring how many coins or contracts were traded, this version calculates the total traded value = volume × average price (hlc3), allowing traders to visually assess capital intensity and market participation within each move.
⚙️ Core Features
- Converts raw volume into USD-based traded value for each candle.
- Color-coded bars show bullish (green/teal) vs. bearish (red) activity.
- Built-in SMA and SMMA overlays highlight sustained shifts in value flow.
- Designed for visual clarity to support momentum, exhaustion, and divergence studies.
📖 How to Read It
Rising Dollar Volume — indicates growing market participation and strong capital flow, often aligning with impulsive waves in trend direction.
Falling Dollar Volume — signals waning interest or reduced participation, potentially hinting at correction or exhaustion phases.
Comparing Legs — when price makes new highs/lows but dollar volume weakens, it can reveal divergences between price movement and actual capital commitment.
SMA / SMMA Lines — use them to identify longer-term accumulation or depletion of market activity, separating short bursts from sustained inflows or outflows.
The goal is to visualize the strength of market moves in terms of capital energy, not just tick activity. This distinction helps traders interpret whether a trend is being driven by genuine money flow or low-liquidity drift.

ICT Turtle SoupICT Turtle Soup identifies classic “failed breakout” reversals after liquidity sweeps of recent highs/lows, then augments the setup with volume validation, market structure context, Kill Zone (session) filters, Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), OTE (61.8–78.6%) zones, and optional risk targets (SL/TP 1:1, 1:2, 1:3). A compact dashboard summarizes current context (recent high/low, lookbacks, active session, structure state, mitigation counts).
What the Script Does
⦁ Detects Turtle Soup events: Price breaks a prior swing extreme and then quickly reverses back inside the range.
⦁ Grades signal quality: Factors include reversal speed, volume confirmation, breakout magnitude, and consecutive patterns.
⦁ Overlays market context: Trend/range classification (ADX / MA / ATR Bands / Combined), Kill Zones (Asian/London/NY), and time-of-day filters.
⦁ Marks IMB / mitigation zones: Draws Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, with optional live mitigation tracking and fading/removal on mitigation.
⦁ Shows OTE zones (61.8–78.6%) after confirmed reversals to highlight potential pullback entries.
⦁ Plots risk management guides: Optional SL buffer below/above reversal wick and TP bands at 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 R multiples.
⦁ Emits alerts on bullish/bearish Turtle Soup confirmations.
How It Works (Conceptual)
1. Liquidity Sweep & Breakout Check
⦁ Looks back over user-defined windows (single or multiple lookbacks: short/medium/long) to find the most recent swing high/low.
⦁ Flags a breakout when price pierces that swing (above for bearish, below for bullish).
⦁ Optional breakout bar volume check requires volume > avg(volume, N) × multiplier.
⦁ Optional swing age check requires the broken swing to be at least X bars old.
2. Reversal Confirmation
⦁ Within N bars after the sweep, validates a mean-reversion close back inside the prior range with a minimum wick/body ratio to confirm rejection.
⦁ Quality Score adds points for:
⦁ Speed: reversal within fast_reversal_bars;
⦁ Volume: breakout and/or reversal volume spike;
⦁ Series: previous consecutive signals;
⦁ Magnitude: sufficient sweep distance.
⦁ Optional high-quality filter only shows signals meeting a minimum score.
3. Context Filters (Optional)
⦁ Sessions/Kill Zones: Only allow signals in selected sessions (Asian/London/NY) with fully custom HHMM inputs.
⦁ Time Window: Restrict to specific hours (e.g., 08–12).
⦁ Market Structure: Classify Trending vs. Ranging (via ADX, MA separation/slope, ATR bands, or Combined). You can allow signals in trends, ranges, or both.
4. Smart Confluence Layers
⦁ Order Blocks: Finds likely OBs with structural validation (e.g., bearish up-candle prior to down move), imbalance score (body/range × volume factor), and extend-until-touched with mitigation % tracking.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Detects valid 3-bar gaps (bull/bear) with size threshold, supports touch / 50% / full mitigation logic, and can fade or remove after mitigation.
⦁ OTE Zones: After a reversal, projects the 61.8–78.6% retracement box from the actual swing range; offset scales to timeframe to avoid clutter.
5. Risk & Display
⦁ SL/TP guides: Optional wick-buffered SL and 1:1/1:2/1:3 TPs.
⦁ Dashboard: Recent high/low, active lookbacks, current session, structure label, and live counts of mitigated OBs/FVGs.
Signals & Visuals
⦁ Bullish Turtle Soup: Triangle up + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Bearish Turtle Soup: Triangle down + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Labels can show: quality stars, FAST/SLOW reversal, reversal & breakout volume tags, previous consecutive count, and last move %.
⦁ Lines/Boxes: OBs, FVGs, OTE zones, SL/TP bands, and optional breakout magnitude line.
Inputs (Key Groups)
⦁ Turtle Soup: Lookbacks (single or S/M/L), reversal bars, wick ratio, magnitude line, reversal speed, volume confirmation (multiplier/length), consecutive tracking.
⦁ Order Blocks: Show/validate structure, lookback, extend-until-touched, mitigation % threshold, colors.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Show, min size %, colors, mitigation mode (Touch/50%/Full), optional remove-on-mitigation.
⦁ Kill Zones/Sessions: Enable Asian/London/NY with custom HHMM, colors.
⦁ OTE: Show OTE (61.8–78.6%), color, timeframe-adaptive offsets.
⦁ Signal Filters: Filter by session, time window, market structure method (ADX/MA/ATR/Combined), thresholds (ADX, MA periods, ATR multiplier), trending/ranging allowances, structure label & offset.
⦁ SL/TP: SL buffer %, TP 1:1/1:2/1:3 toggles & colors.
⦁ Breakout Validation: Require breakout-bar volume, min swing age, volume label toggles.
⦁ Alerts: Enable/disable.
⦁ Dashboard: Position, text size, colors, border.
How to Use
1. Markets & Timeframes: Works on FX, crypto, indices, and futures. Start with M5–H1 for intraday and H1–H4 for swing; refine lookbacks per instrument volatility.
2. Core Flow:
⦁ Enable multiple lookbacks for robustness on mixed volatility.
⦁ Turn on validate_swing_significance to avoid micro sweeps.
⦁ Use validate_breakout_volume + use_volume_confirmation to filter weak pokes.
3. Context Choice:
⦁ In ranging environments, allow both sides; in trends, consider counter-trend only at HTF OB/FVG/OTE confluence.
⦁ Narrow to London/NY for higher activity if desired.
4. Entries/Stops/Targets:
⦁ Entry on confirmed label close or at OTE pullback post-signal.
⦁ SL: below/above reversal wick + sl_buffer%.
⦁ TP: scale at 1:1/1:2/1:3 or manage via OB/FVG/structure breaks.
5. Confluence: Prefer Turtle Soup that aligns with OB/FVG zones and Combined structure method for added reliability.
Alerts
⦁ “Bullish Turtle Soup detected” and “Bearish Turtle Soup detected” fire on confirmation.
⦁ Set to Once Per Bar (as coded) or adjust in the alert dialog per your workflow.
Notes & Tips
⦁ Multiple lookbacks (S/M/L) help capture both shallow and deep liquidity sweeps.
⦁ Use market structure label with offset to keep it readable on the right of price.
⦁ Mitigation tracking visually communicates when OB/FVG confluence is no longer valid.
⦁ Dashboard = fast situational awareness; keep it on during live trading.
Limitations & Disclaimer
⦁ This tool is educational and not financial advice. No profitability or win-rate is implied. Markets carry risk; manage position size and test thoroughly.
⦁ Signal quality depends on market regime, spreads, news, and data quality. Backtests/forward-tests may differ.
⦁ Visual objects are capped for performance; old items may auto-clean to keep charts responsive.

Volatility monitoring using ATR Percentile or Volatility Rank to identify expansion/contraction cycles and adjust position sizing
Trend vs range identification by comparing Trend Strength (high values = trending) against Choppiness Index (high values = ranging)
Statistical over-extension detection using CCI or Price Distance to identify when price has deviated significantly from normal behavior
Multi-timeframe analysis by duplicating the gauge on different timeframe charts to compare metric readings across time horizons
Educational purposes for new traders learning to interpret technical indicators through consistent visual representation
⚠️ Limitations
The gauge displays only one metric at a time, requiring manual switching to compare different indicators rather than simultaneous multi-metric viewing
The 0-100 normalization, while providing consistency, may obscure the raw values and specific nuances of each underlying indicator
Table-based visualization cannot be exported or saved as an image separately from the full chart screenshot
Optimal parameter settings vary by asset type, timeframe, and market conditions, requiring user experimentation for best results
💡 What Makes This Unique
Unified Multi-Metric Interface: The only gauge-style indicator offering 13 distinct metrics through a single interface, eliminating the need for multiple oscillator panels
Non-Overlapping Analytics: Each metric provides genuinely unique insights—MFI combines volume with price, CCI measures statistical deviation, Volatility Rank uses extended lookback, Trend Strength quantifies directional movement, and Choppiness Index measures ranging behavior
Universal Normalization System: All metrics standardized to 0-100 scale using indicator-appropriate algorithms that preserve statistical meaning while enabling consistent visual interpretation
Professional Visual Design: Semi-circular gauge with 21 arc segments, precision needle positioning, color-coded zones, and clean table implementation that maintains clarity across all chart configurations
Extensive Customization: Independent parameter controls for each metric, five position options, three size presets, and full color customization for seamless workspace integration
🔬 How It Works
1. Metric Calculation Phase:
All 13 metrics are calculated simultaneously on every bar using their respective algorithms with user-defined parameters
Each metric applies its own specific calculation method—RSI uses average gains vs losses, Stochastic compares close to high-low range, MFI incorporates typical price and volume, CCI measures deviation from statistical mean, ATR calculates true range, directional indicators measure up/down movement, and statistical metrics analyze price relationships
2. Normalization Process:
Each calculated metric is converted to a standardized 0-100 scale using indicator-appropriate transformations
Some metrics are naturally 0-100 (RSI, Stochastic, MFI, Williams %R), while others require scaling—CCI transforms from ±200 range, Momentum centers around 50, Volume ratio caps at 2x for 100, ATR and Volatility Rank calculate percentile positions, and Price Distance scales by standard deviations
3. Gauge Rendering:
The selected metric’s normalized value determines the needle position across 21 arc segments spanning 0-100
Each arc segment receives its color based on position—segments 0-8 are green zone, segments 9-14 are yellow zone, segments 15-20 are red zone
The needle indicator (▼) appears in row 5 at the column corresponding to the current metric value, providing precise visual feedback
4. Table Construction:
The gauge uses TradingView’s table system with merged cells for title and value display, ensuring consistent positioning regardless of chart configuration
Rows are allocated as follows: Row 0 merged for title, Row 1 merged for large value display, Row 2 for spacing, Rows 3-4 for the semi-circular arc with curved shaping, Row 5 for needle indicator, Row 6 for scale markers, Row 7 for numerical labels at 0/25/50/75/100
All visual elements update on every bar when barstate.islast is true, ensuring real-time accuracy without performance impact
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed for visual analysis and market condition assessment, not as a standalone trading system. For best results, combine gauge readings with price action analysis, support and resistance levels, and broader market context. Parameter optimization is recommended based on your specific trading timeframe and asset class. The gauge works on all timeframes but may require different parameter settings for intraday versus daily/weekly analysis. Consider using multiple instances of the gauge set to different metrics for comprehensive market analysis without switching between settings.

ICT Sessions [TradeWithRon]
ICT Sessions and killzones maps three intraday sessions on your chart (Asia, London, NY), tracks each session’s live high/low, draws optional session range boxes, and projects ICT OTE zones in real time—with granular styling, touch/mitigation logic, and alerting.
What it does
Live Session high/low tracking.
Historical session lines:
When a session ends, its final High/Low are preserved as tracked lines (with optional labels) for a configurable number of recent sessions.
Session boxes (ranges):
Draws a shaded box from session start to end that expands with new highs/lows. Limit how many recent boxes remain on chart.
ICT OTE zones (live):
For the currently active session, projects user-defined Fibonacci OTE levels (e.g., 61.8%, 70.5%, 78.6) between the session’s running high and low. Zones update tick-by-tick and can show labels. You can retain a history of recent sessions’ OTE levels.
Break visualization (mitigation):
Optionally color the bar when price breaks a stored session High/Low. You can:
Require a body close through the level (vs. any touch)
Auto-remove the line and/or label on touch/close
Use custom break colors per session and side (high/low)
Timestamps:
Add up to two recurring vertical timestamp markers (e.g., 08:00, 09:30), plus an opening horizontal marker (e.g., 09:30) with label that extends until the next occurrence.
Alerts:
Built-in alerts for:
Touch of Session 1/2/3 High/Low (Asia/London/NY)
Touch of OTE levels (per session)
Key inputs:
Time & Limits
Timezone (e.g., GMT-4)
Timeframe limit: hide all drawings on and above a specified TF
Sessions
Session windows (default):
Session 1 (Asia): 18:00–00:00
Session 2 (London): 00:00–06:00
Session 3 (NY): 08:00–12:00
How many to keep (lines/boxes)
Line width, colors, and label suffixes (“High”/“Low”)
Labels: toggle, text (“Asia”, “London”, “NY”), size, and colors
Boxes: toggle per session and background colors
ICT OTE Zones
Toggle per session (Asia/London/NY)
Levels (comma-separated %s, e.g., 61.8,70.5,78.6)
History: number of past sessions to retain
Opacity, line width/style, and label size
Custom label text per session (e.g., “Asia OTE”)
Break/Mitigation Behavior:
Enable Mitigated Candles (bar color on break)
Remove line on touch and/or remove label on touch
Require body close (vs. wick touch)
Custom break colors by session and side
Timestamps
Opening horizontal line (time, style, width, color, label text/size, drawing limit)
Two vertical timestamps (times, style, width, color, drawing limit)
Alerts
Master Enable Alerts
Per-session toggles for High/Low touches
OTE touch alerts
How it works (under the hood)
Detects session state via input.session() windows in the chosen timezone.
Live session High/Low lines and labels update in real time; on session end, final levels are stored with optional labels and tracked length.
OTE zones are live-computed from current session High↔Low and refreshed every bar; a compact rolling history is enforced.
Bar coloring reacts to break events (touch or body-close, per your setting) and uses session-specific colors when enabled.
Timestamp lines/labels are created on each occurrence and trimmed to a drawing limit for performance.
Tips:
To hide session lines but keep boxes, set line color opacity to 0.
Use Timeframe Limit to keep higher-TF charts clean.
Fine-tune OTE Levels and History to balance clarity and performance.
For stricter break logic, enable Require Body Close.
Note: The script reserves high limits for lines/labels/boxes to keep recent context visible while managing cleanup automatically. Adjust “Session Number” and “Number Of Boxes” to suit your workflow.

Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score [BackQuant]Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score
The Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score indicator is a sophisticated tool that combines the cumulative volume delta (CVD) with Z-Score normalization to provide traders with a clearer view of market dynamics. By analyzing volume imbalances and standardizing them through a Z-Score, this tool helps identify significant price movements and market trends while filtering out noise.
Core Concept of Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a popular indicator that tracks the net difference between buying and selling volume over time. CVD helps traders understand whether buying or selling pressure is dominating the market. Positive CVD signals buying pressure, while negative CVD indicates selling pressure.
The addition of Z-Score normalization to CVD makes it easier to evaluate whether current volume imbalances are unusual compared to past behavior. Z-Score helps in detecting extreme conditions by showing how far the current CVD is from its historical mean in terms of standard deviations.
Key Features
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): Tracks the net buying vs. selling volume, allowing traders to gauge the overall market sentiment.
Z-Score Normalization: Converts CVD into a standardized value to highlight extreme movements in volume that are statistically significant.
Divergence Detection: The indicator can spot bullish and bearish divergences between price and CVD, which can signal potential trend reversals.
Pivot-Based Divergence: Identifies price and CVD pivots, highlighting divergence patterns that are crucial for predicting price changes.
Trend Analysis: Colors bars according to trend direction, providing a visual indication of bullish or bearish conditions based on Z-Score.
How It Works
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): The CVD is calculated by summing the difference between buying and selling volume for each bar. It represents the net buying or selling pressure, giving insights into market sentiment.
Z-Score Normalization: The Z-Score is applied to the CVD to normalize its values, making it easier to compare current conditions with historical averages. A Z-Score greater than 0 indicates a bullish market, while a Z-Score less than 0 signals a bearish market.
Divergence Detection: The indicator detects regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences between price and CVD. These divergences often precede trend reversals, offering traders a potential entry point.
Pivot-Based Analysis: The indicator uses pivot highs and lows in both price and CVD to identify divergence patterns. A bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low, but CVD fails to follow, suggesting weakening selling pressure. Conversely, a bearish divergence happens when price makes a higher high, but CVD doesn't confirm the move, indicating potential selling pressure.
Trend Coloring: The bars are colored based on the trend direction. Green bars indicate an uptrend (CVD is positive), and red bars indicate a downtrend (CVD is negative). This provides an easy-to-read visualization of market conditions.
Standard Deviation Levels: The indicator plots ±1σ, ±2σ, and ±3σ levels to indicate the degree of deviation from the average CVD. These levels act as thresholds for identifying extreme buying or selling pressure.
Customization Options
Anchor Timeframe: The user can define an anchor timeframe to aggregate the CVD, which can be customized based on the trader’s needs (e.g., daily, weekly, custom lower timeframes).
Z-Score Period: The period for calculating the Z-Score can be adjusted, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator's sensitivity.
Divergence Detection: The tool offers controls to enable or disable divergence detection, with the ability to adjust the lookback periods for pivot detection.
Trend Coloring and Visuals: Traders can choose whether to color bars based on trend direction, display standard deviation levels, or visualize the data as a histogram or line plot.
Display Options: The indicator also allows for various display options, including showing the Z-Score values and divergence signals, with customizable colors and line widths.
Alerts and Signals
The Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score comes with pre-configured alert conditions for:
Z-Score Crossovers: Alerts are triggered when the Z-Score crosses the 0 line, indicating a potential trend reversal.
Shifting Trend: Alerts for when the Z-Score shifts direction, signaling a change in market sentiment.
Divergence Detection: Alerts for both regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences, offering potential reversal signals.
Extreme Imbalances: Alerts when the Z-Score reaches extreme positive or negative levels, indicating overbought or oversold market conditions.
Applications in Trading
Trend Identification: Use the Z-Score to confirm bullish or bearish trends based on cumulative volume data, filtering out noise and false signals.
Reversal Signals: Divergences between price and CVD can help identify potential trend reversals, making it a powerful tool for swing traders.
Volume-Based Confirmation: The Z-Score allows traders to confirm price movements with volume data, providing more reliable signals compared to price action alone.
Divergence Strategy: Use the divergence signals to identify potential points of entry, particularly when regular or hidden divergences appear.
Volatility and Market Sentiment: The Z-Score provides insights into market volatility by measuring the deviation of CVD from its historical mean, helping to predict price movement strength.
The Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score is a powerful tool that combines volume analysis with statistical normalization. By focusing on volume imbalances and applying Z-Score normalization, this indicator provides clear, reliable signals for trend identification and potential reversals. It is especially useful for filtering out market noise and ensuring that trades are based on significant price movements driven by substantial volume changes.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to add volume-based analysis to their strategy, offering a more robust and accurate way to gauge market sentiment and trend strength.

Adaptive CE-VWAP Breakout Framework [KedArc Quant]📘 Description
A structured framework that unites three complementary systems into one charting engine:
>Chandelier Exit (CE) – ATR-based trailing logic that defines trend direction, stop placement, and risk/reward overlays.
>Swing-Anchored VWAP (SWAV) – a dynamically anchored VWAP that re-starts from each confirmed swing and adapts its smoothness to volatility.
>Pivot S/R with Volume Breaks – confirmed horizontal levels with alerts when broken on expanding volume.
This script builds a single workflow for bias → trigger → management>without mixing unrelated indicators. Each module is internally linked rather than layered cosmetically, making it a true analytical framework—not.
🙏 Acknowledgment
Special thanks to Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP by @Zeiierman, whose swing-anchoring concept inspired a part of the SWAV module’s implementation and adaptation logic.
Support and Resistance Levels with Breaks by @luxalgo for S/R breakout logic.
🎯 How this helps traders
>Trend clarity – CE color-codes direction and provides evolving stops.
>Context value – SWAV traces adaptive mean paths so traders see where price is “heavy” or “light.”
>Action filter – Pivot+volume logic highlights true structural breaks, filtering false moves.
>Discipline tool – Optional R:R boxes visualize risk and target zones to enforce planning.
🧩 Entry / Exit guidelines (for study purposes only)
Bias Use CE direction: green = long bias · red = short bias
Entry
1. Breakout method>– Trade in CE direction when a pivot level breaks on valid volume.
2. VWAP confirmation>– Prefer breaks occurring around the nearest SWAV path (fair-value cross or re-test).
Exit
>Stop = CE line / recent swing HL / ATR × (multiplier)
>Target = R-multiple × risk (default 2 R)
>Optional live update keeps SL/TP aligned with current CE state.
🧮 Core formula concepts
>ATR Stop: `Stop = High/Low – ATR × multiplier`
>VWAP calc: `Σ(price × vol) / Σ(vol)` anchored at swing pivot, adapted by APT (Adaptive Price Tracking) ratio ∝ ATR volatility.
>Volume oscillator: `100 × (EMA₅ – EMA₁₀)/EMA₁₀`; valid break when > threshold %.

Falcon Imbalance TradesIn this indicator, I am using ATR + Volume to find breakouts. These candles where I am getting these breakouts, I am creating a box for price action. If candle breaks above it, it gives us a buy signal. Similarly for downside.
The logic is to find imbalance so that we can avoid sideways market and focus on trending or impulsive move.
I hope you enjoy this indicator. Drop comments for any questions.
CVD with Trend LineThis indicator augments the traditional Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) by incorporating a customizable trend line that connects the tops of the CVD histogram bars, enhancing visualization of delta trends and market momentum. The CVD measures the net difference between buying and selling volume, utilizing lower timeframe data for accuracy, with configurable anchor periods and timeframe options. The trend line, which can be tailored in both color and style (e.g., solid, dashed), provides traders with a flexible tool to track cumulative delta movements, aiding in the identification of market sentiment shifts. Perfect for volume-based analysis with a clear, adaptable display.
