The Information Field: A Geometric Approach to Market Dynamics
By: DskyzInvestments
Foreword: Beyond the Shadows on the Wall
If you have traded for any length of time, you know " the feeling ." It is the frustration of a perfect setup that fails, the whipsaw that stops you out just before the real move, the nagging sense that the chart is telling you only half the story. For decades, technical analysis has relied on interpreting the shadows—the patterns left behind by price. We draw lines on these shadows, apply indicators to them, and hope they reveal the future.
But what if we could stop looking at the shadows and, instead, analyze the object casting them?
This script introduces a new paradigm for market analysis: Information-Geometric Market Dynamics (IGMD) . The core premise of IGMD is that the price chart is merely a one-dimensional projection of a much richer, higher-dimensional reality—an " information field " generated by the collective actions and beliefs of all market participants.
This is not just another collection of indicators. It is a unified framework for measuring the geometry of the market's information field—its memory, its complexity, its uncertainty, its causal flows—and making high-probability decisions based on that deeper reality. By fusing advanced mathematical and informational concepts, IGMD provides a multi-faceted lens through which to view market behavior, moving beyond simple price action into the very structure of market information itself.
Prepare to move beyond the flatland of the price chart. Welcome to the information field.
The IGMD Framework: A Multi-Kernel Approach
What is a Kernel? The Heart of Transformation
In mathematics and data science, a kernel is a powerful and elegant concept. At its core, a kernel is a function that takes complex, often inscrutable data and transforms it into a more useful format. Think of it as a specialized lens or a mathematical "probe." You cannot directly measure abstract concepts like "market memory" or "trend quality" by looking at a price number. First, you must process the raw price data through a specific mathematical machine—a kernel—that is designed to output a measurement of that specific property. Kernels operate by performing a sort of "similarity test," projecting data into a higher-dimensional space where hidden patterns and relationships become visible and measurable.
Why do creators use them? We use kernels to extract features —meaningful pieces of information—that are not explicitly present in the raw data. They are the essential tools for moving beyond surface-level analysis into the very DNA of market behavior. A simple moving average can tell you the average price; a suite of well-chosen kernels can tell you about the character of the price action itself.
The Alchemist's Challenge: The Art of Fusion
Using a single kernel is a challenge. Using five distinct, computationally demanding mathematical engines in unison is an immense undertaking. The true difficulty—and artistry—lies not just in using one kernel, but in fusing the outputs of many . Each kernel provides a different perspective, and they can often give conflicting signals. One kernel might detect a strong trend, while another signals rising chaos and uncertainty. The IGMD script's greatest strength is its ability to act as this alchemist, synthesizing these disparate viewpoints through a weighted fusion process to produce a single, coherent picture of the market's state. It required countless hours of testing and calibration to balance the influence of these five distinct analytical engines so they work in harmony rather than cacophony.
The Five Kernels of Market Dynamics
The IGMD script is built upon a foundation of five distinct kernels, each chosen to probe a unique and critical dimension of the market's information field.
1. The Wavelet Kernel (The "Microscope")
What it is: The Wavelet Kernel is a signal processing function designed to decompose a signal into different frequency scales. Unlike a Fourier Transform that analyzes the entire signal at once, the wavelet slides across the data, providing information about both what frequencies are present and when they occurred.
The Kernels I Use:
Haar Kernel: The simplest wavelet, a square-wave shape defined by the coefficients . It excels at detecting sharp, sudden changes.
Daubechies 2 (db2) Kernel: A more complex and smoother wavelet shape that provides a better balance for analyzing the nuanced ebb and flow of typical market trends.
How it Works in the Script: This kernel is applied iteratively. It first separates the finest "noise" (detail d1) from the first level of trend (approximation a1). It then takes the trend a1 and repeats the process, extracting the next level of cycle (d2) and trend (a2), and so on. This hierarchical decomposition allows us to separate short-term noise from the long-term market "thesis."
2. The Hurst Exponent Kernel (The "Memory Gauge")
What it is: The Hurst Exponent is derived from a statistical analysis kernel that measures the "long-term memory" or persistence of a time series. It is the definitive measure of whether a series is trending (H > 0.5), mean-reverting (H < 0.5), or random (H = 0.5).
How it Works in the Script: The script employs a method based on Rescaled Range (R/S) analysis. It calculates the average range of price movements over increasingly larger time lags (m1, m2, m4, m8...). The slope of the line plotting log(range) vs. log(lag) is the Hurst Exponent. Applying this complex statistical analysis not to the raw price, but to the clean, wavelet-decomposed trend lines, is a key innovation of IGMD.
3. The Fractal Dimension Kernel (The "Complexity Compass")
What it is: This kernel measures the geometric complexity or "jaggedness" of a price path, based on the principles of fractal geometry. A straight line has a dimension of 1; a chaotic, space-filling line approaches a dimension of 2.
How it Works in the Script: We use a version based on Ehlers' Fractal Dimension Index (FDI). It calculates the rate of price change over a full lookback period (N3) and compares it to the sum of the rates of change over the two halves of that period (N1 + N2). The formula d = (log(N1 + N2) - log(N3)) / log(2) quantifies how much "longer" and more convoluted the price path was than a simple straight line. This kernel is our primary filter for tradeable (low complexity) vs. untradeable (high complexity) conditions.
4. The Shannon Entropy Kernel (The "Uncertainty Meter")
What it is: This kernel comes from Information Theory and provides the purest mathematical measure of information, surprise, or uncertainty within a system. It is not a measure of volatility; a market moving predictably up by 10 points every bar has high volatility but zero entropy .
How it Works in the Script: The script normalizes price returns by the ATR, categorizes them into a discrete number of "bins" over a lookback window, and forms a probability distribution. The Shannon Entropy H = -Σ(p_i * log(p_i)) is calculated from this distribution. A low H means returns are predictable. A high H means returns are chaotic. This kernel is our ultimate gauge of market conviction.
5. The Transfer Entropy Kernel (The "Causality Probe")
What it is: This is by far the most advanced and computationally intensive kernel in the script. Transfer Entropy is a non-parametric measure of directed information flow between two time series. It moves beyond correlation to ask: "Does knowing the past of Volume genuinely reduce our uncertainty about the future of Price?"
How it Works in the Script: To make this work, the script discretizes both price returns and the chosen "driver" (e.g., OBV) into three states: "up," "down," or "neutral." It then builds complex conditional probability tables to measure the flow of information in both directions. The Net Transfer Entropy (TE Driver→Price minus TE Price→Driver) gives us a direct measure of causality . A positive score means the driver is leading price, confirming the validity of the move. This is a profound leap beyond traditional indicator analysis.
Chapter 3: Fusion & Interpretation - The Field Score & Dashboard
Each kernel is a specialist providing a piece of the puzzle. The Field Score is where they are fused into a single, comprehensive reading. It's a weighted sum of the normalized scores from all five kernels, producing a single number from -1 (maximum bearish information field) to +1 (maximum bullish information field). This is the ultimate "at-a-glance" metric for the market's net state, and it is interpreted through the dashboard.
The Dashboard: Your Mission Control
Field Score & Regime: The master metric and its plain-English interpretation ("Uptrend Field", "Downtrend Field", "Transitional").
Kernel Readouts (Wave Align, H(w), FDI, etc.): The live scores of each individual kernel. This allows you to see why the Field Score is what it is. A high Field Score with all components in agreement (all green or red) is a state of High Coherence and represents a high-quality setup.
Market Context: Standard metrics like RSI and Volume for additional confluence.
Signals: The raw and adjusted confluence counts and the final, calculated probability scores for potential long and short entries.
Pattern: Shows the dominant candlestick pattern detected within the currently forming APEX range box and its calculated confidence percentage.
Chapter 4: Mastering the Controls - The Inputs Menu
Every parameter is a lever to fine-tune the IGMD engine.
📊 Wavelet Transform: Kernel ( Haar for sharp moves, db2 for smooth trends) and Scales (depth of analysis) let you tune the script's core microscope to your asset's personality.
📈 Hurst Exponent: The Window determines if you're assessing short-term or long-term market memory.
🔍 Fractal Dimension & ⚡ Entropy Volatility: Adjust the lookback windows to make these kernels more or less sensitive to recent price action. Always keep "Normalize by ATR" enabled for Entropy for consistent results.
🔄 Transfer Entropy: Driver lets you choose what causal force to measure (e.g., OBV, Volume, or even an external symbol like VIX). The throttle setting is a crucial performance tool, allowing you to balance precision with script speed.
⚡ Field Fusion • Weights: This is where you can customize the model's "brain." Increase the weights for the kernels that best align with your trading philosophy (e.g., w_hurst for trend followers, w_fdi for chop avoiders).
📊 Signal Engine: Mode offers presets from Conservative to Aggressive . Min Confluence sets your evidence threshold. Dynamic Confluence is a powerful feature that automatically adapts this threshold to the market regime.
🎨 Visuals & 📏 Support/Resistance: These inputs give you full control over the chart's appearance, allowing you to toggle every visual element for a setup that is as clean or as data-rich as you desire.
Chapter 5: Reading the Battlefield - On-Chart Visuals
Pattern Boxes (The Large Rectangles): These are not simple range boxes. They appear when the Field Score crosses a significance threshold, signaling a potential ignition point.
Color: The color reflects the dominant candlestick pattern that has occurred within that box's duration (e.g., green for Bull Engulf).
Label: Displays the dominant pattern, its duration in bars, and a calculated Confidence % based on field strength and pattern clarity.
Bar Pattern Boxes (The Small Boxes): If enabled, these highlight individual, significant candlestick patterns ( BE for Bull Engulf, H for Hammer) on a bar-by-bar basis.
Signal Markers (▲ and ▼): These appear only when the Signal Engine's criteria are all met. The number is the calculated Probability Score .
RR Rails (Dashed Lines): When a signal appears, these lines automatically plot the Entry, Stop Loss (based on ATR), and two Take Profit targets (based on Risk/Reward ratios). They dynamically break and disappear as price touches each level.
Support & Resistance Lines: Plots of the highest high ( Resistance ) and lowest low ( Support ) over a lookback, providing key structural levels.
Chapter 6: Development Philosophy & A Final Word
One single question: " What is the market really doing? " It represents a triumph of complexity, blending concepts from signal processing, chaos theory, and information theory into a cohesive framework. It is offered for educational and analytical purposes and does not constitute financial advice. Its goal is to elevate your analysis from interpreting flat shadows to measuring the rich, geometric reality of the market's information field.
As the great mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot , father of fractal geometry, noted:
"Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."
Neither does the market. IGMD is a tool designed to navigate that beautiful, complex, and fractal reality.

Volume Rotor Clock [hapharmonic]🕰️ Volume Rotor Clock
The Volume Rotor Clock is an indicator that separates buy and sell volume, compiling these volumes over a recent number of bars or a specified past period, as defined by the user. This helps to reveal accumulation (buying) or distribution (selling) behavior, showing which side has superior volume. With its unique and beautiful display, the Volume Rotor Clock is more than just a timepiece; it's a dynamic dashboard that visualizes the buying and selling pressure of your favorite symbols, all wrapped in an elegant and fully customizable interface.
Instead of just tracking price, this indicator focuses on the engine behind the movement: volume. It helps you instantly identify which assets are under accumulation (buying) and which are under distribution (selling).

🎨 20 Pre-configured Templates
---
🧐 Interpreting the Clock Display
The interface is designed to give you multiple layers of information at a glance. Let's break down what each part represents.
1. The Main Clock Hands (Current Chart Symbol)
The clock hands—hour, minute, and second—are dedicated to the symbol on your current active chart .
Minute Hand: Displays the base currency of the current symbol (e.g., USDT, USD) at its tip.
Hour Hand: Displays the percentage of the winning volume side (buy vs. sell) at its tip.
Color Gauge: The color of the text characters at the tip of both the hour and minute hands acts as your primary volume gauge for the current symbol.
If buy volume is dominant , the text will be green .
If sell volume is dominant , the text will be red .
Tooltip: Hovering your mouse over the text at the tip of the hour or minute or other spherical elements hand will reveal a detailed tooltip with the precise Buy Volume, Sell Volume, Total Volume, Buy %, and Sell % for the current chart's symbol.
2. The Volume Scanner: Bulls & Bears (Symbols Inside the Clock) 🐂🐻
The circular symbols scattered inside the clock face are your multi-symbol volume scanner. They represent the assets you've selected in the indicator's settings.
Green Circles (Bulls - Upper Half): These represent symbols from your list where the total buy volume is greater than the total sell volume over the defined "Lookback" period. They are considered to be under bullish accumulation. The size of the circle and its text grows larger as the buy percentage becomes more dominant. The percentage shown within the circle represents the buy volume's share of the total volume, calculated over the 'Lookback (Bars)' you've set.
Red Circles (Bears - Lower Half): These represent symbols where the total sell volume is greater than the total buy volume. They are considered to be under bearish distribution or selling pressure. The size of the circle indicates the dominance of the sell-side volume. The percentage shown within the circle represents the sell volume's share of the total volume, calculated over the 'Lookback (Bars)' you've set.
3. The Bullish Watchlist (Symbols Above the Clock) ⭐
The symbols arranged neatly along the top edge of the clock are the "best of the bulls." They are symbols that are not only bullish but have also passed an additional, powerful strength filter.
What it Means: A symbol appears here when it shows signs of sustained, high-volume buying interest . It's a way to filter out noise and focus on assets with potentially significant accumulation phases.
The Filter Logic: For a bullish symbol (where total buy volume > total sell volume) to be promoted to the watchlist, its trading volume must meet specific criteria based on this formula:
ta.barssince(not(volume > ta.sma(volume, X))) >= Y
In plain English, this means: The indicator checks how many consecutive bars the `volume` has been greater than its `X`-bar Simple Moving Average (`ta.sma(volume, X)`). If this count is greater than or equal to `Y` bars, the condition is met.
(You can configure `X` (Volume MA Length) and `Y` (Consecutive Days Above MA) in the settings.)
Why it's Useful: This filter is powerful because it looks for consistency . A single spike in volume can be an anomaly. However, when an asset's volume remains consistently above its recent average for several consecutive days, it strongly suggests that larger players or a significant portion of the market are actively accumulating the asset. This sustained interest can often precede a significant upward price trend.

Intraday Volume Pulse GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIAIntraday Volume Pulse Indicator
Overview
This indicator is designed to track and visualize intraday volume dynamics during a user-defined trading session. It calculates and displays key volume metrics such as buy volume, sell volume, cumulative delta (difference between buy and sell volumes), and total volume. The data is presented in a customizable table overlay on the chart, making it easy to monitor volume pulses throughout the session. This can help traders identify buying or selling pressure in real-time, particularly useful for intraday strategies.
The indicator resets its calculations at the start of each new day and only accumulates volume data from the specified session start time onward. It uses simple logic to classify volume as buy or sell based on candle direction:
Buy Volume: Assigned to green (up) candles or half of neutral (doji) candles.
Sell Volume: Assigned to red (down) candles or half of neutral (doji) candles.
All calculations are approximate and based on available volume data from the chart. This script does not incorporate external data sources, order flow, or tick-level information—it's purely derived from standard OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) bars.
Key Features
Session Customization: Define the start time of your trading session (e.g., market open) and select from common timezones like Asia/Kolkata, America/New_York, etc.
Volume Metrics:
Buy Volume: Total volume attributed to bullish activity.
Sell Volume: Total volume attributed to bearish activity.
Cumulative Delta: Net difference (Buy - Sell), highlighting overall market bias.
Total Volume: Sum of all volume during the session.
Formatted Display: Volumes are formatted for readability (e.g., in thousands "K", lakhs "L", or crores "Cr" for large numbers).
Color-Coded Table: Uses a patriotic color scheme inspired by general themes (Saffron, White, Green) with dynamic backgrounds based on positive/negative values for quick visual interpretation.
Table Options: Toggle visibility and position (top-right, top-left, etc.) for a clean chart layout.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply this indicator to any symbol's chart (works best on intraday timeframes like 1-min, 5-min, or 15-min).
Configure Inputs:
Session Start Hour/Minute: Set to your market's open time (default: 9:15 for Indian markets).
Timezone: Choose the appropriate timezone to align with your trading hours.
Show Table: Enable/disable the metrics table.
Table Position: Place the table where it doesn't obstruct your view.
Interpret the Table:
Monitor for spikes in buy/sell volume or shifts in cumulative delta.
Positive delta (green) suggests buying pressure; negative (red) suggests selling.
Use alongside price action or other indicators for confirmation—e.g., high total volume with positive delta could indicate bullish momentum.
Limitations:
Volume classification is heuristic and not based on actual order flow (e.g., it splits doji volume evenly).
Data accumulation starts from the session time and resets daily; historical backtesting may be limited by the max_bars_back=500 setting.
This is for educational and visualization purposes only—do not use as sole basis for trading decisions.
Calculation Details
Session Filter: Uses timestamp() to define the session start and filters bars with time >= sessionStart.
New Day Detection: Resets volumes on daily changes via ta.change(time("D")).
Volume Assignment:
Buy: Full volume if close > open; half if close == open.
Sell: Full volume if close < open; half if close == open.
Cumulative Metrics: Accumulated only during the session.
Formatting: Custom function f_format() scales large numbers for brevity.

ABS NR — Fail-Safe Confirm (v4.2.2)
# ABS NR — Fail-Safe Confirm (v4.2.2)
## What it is (quick take)
**ABS NR FS** is a **non-repainting “arm → confirm” entry framework** for intraday and swing execution. It blends:
* **Regime** (EMA stack + 60-min slope),
* **Location** (Keltner basis/edges),
* **Stretch** (session-anchored **VWAP Z-score**),
* **Momentum gating** (TSI cross/slope),
* **Guards** (session window, minimum ATR%, gap filter, optional market alignment).
You’ll see a **small dot** when a setup is **armed** (candidate) and a **triangle** when that setup **confirms** within a user-defined number of bars. A **gray “X”** marks a timeout (candidate canceled).
> Tip: This entry tool works best when paired with a trend context filter and a dedicated exit tool.
---
## How to use it (operational workflow)
1. **Read the regime**
* **Bull trend**: fast > slow > long EMA **and** 60-min slope up.
* **Bear trend**: fast < slow < long EMA **and** 60-min slope down.
* **Range**: neither bull nor bear.
2. **Wait for a candidate (dot)**
Two families:
* **Reclaim (trend-following):** price crosses the **KC basis** with acceptable |Z| (not overstretched) and passes the TSI gate.
* **Fade (range-revert):** price **pokes a KC band**, prints a **reversal wick**, |Z| is stretched, and TSI gate agrees.
3. **Trade the confirmation (triangle)**
The confirm must occur **within N bars** and follow your chosen **Confirm mode** logic (see Inputs). If confirmation doesn’t arrive in time, an **X** cancels the candidate.
4. **Use guards to avoid junk**
Session windows (US focus), minimum ATR%, gap guard, and optional **market alignment** (e.g., SPY above EMA20 for longs).
5. **Manage the position**
* Entries: take **triangles** in the direction of your playbook (reclaims with trend; fades in clean ranges).
* Filters and exits: use your own process or pair with a trend/exit companion.
---
## Visual semantics & alerts
* **Candidate L / S (dot)** → a setup armed on this bar.
* **CONFIRM L / S (triangle)** → actionable signal that met confirm rules within your time window.
* **Cancel L / S (X)** → candidate expired without confirmation; ignore the dot.
**Alerts (stable names for automation):**
* **ABS FS — Confirmed** → fires on confirmed long or short.
* **ABS FS — Candidate Armed** → fires as a candidate arms.
---
## Non-repainting behavior (why signals don’t repaint)
* All HTF requests use **lookahead\_off**.
* With **Strict NR = true**, the 60-min slope uses the **prior completed** 60-min bar and arming/confirming only occurs on confirmed bars.
* Confirmation triangles finalize on bar close.
* If you disable strictness, signals may appear slightly earlier but with more intrabar sensitivity.
---
## Inputs reference (what each control does and the trade-offs)
### A) Behavior / Modes
**Mode** (`Turbo / Aggressive / Balanced / Conservative`)
Changes multiple internal thresholds:
* **Turbo** → most signals; relaxes prior-bar break & VWAP-side checks and time/vol/gap guards. Highest frequency, highest noise.
* **Aggressive** → more signals than Balanced, fewer than Turbo.
* **Balanced** → default; steady trade-off of frequency vs. quality.
* **Conservative** → tightens |Z| and other checks; fewest but cleanest signals.
**Strict NR (bar close + prior HTF 60m)**
* **true** = safer: uses prior 60-min slope; arms/confirms on confirmed bars → **fewer/cleaner** signals.
* **false** = earlier and more reactive; slightly noisier.
---
### B) Keltner Channel (location engine)
* **KC EMA Length (`kcLen`)**
Higher → smoother basis (fewer basis crosses). Lower → snappier basis (more crosses).
* **ATR Length (`atrLen`)**
Higher → steadier band width; Lower → more reactive band width.
* **KC ATR Mult (`kcMult`)**
Higher → wider bands (fewer edge pokes → fewer fades). Lower → narrower (more fades).
---
### C) Trend & HTF slope
* **Trend EMA Fast/Slow/Long (`emaFastLen / emaSlowLen / emaLongLen`)**
Larger = slower regime flips (fewer reclaims); smaller = faster flips (more reclaims).
* **HTF EMA Len (60m) (`htfLen`)**
Larger = steadier HTF slope (fewer signals); smaller = more sensitive (more signals).
---
### D) VWAP Z-Score (stretch / mean-revert logic)
* **VWAP Z-Length (`zLen`)**
Window for Z over session-anchored VWAP distance. Larger = smoother |Z| (fewer fades/re-entries). Smaller = more reactive (more).
* **Range Fade |Z| (base) (`zFadeBase`)**
Minimum |Z| to allow **fades** in ranges. Raise to demand more stretch (fewer fades). Lower to take more fades.
* **Max |Z| Trend Re-entry (base) (`maxZTrendBase`)**
Caps how stretched price can be and still permit **reclaims** with trend. Lower = stricter (avoid chases). Higher = will chase further.
---
### E) TSI Momentum Gate
* **TSI Long/Short/Signal (`tsiLong / tsiShort / tsiSig`)**
Larger = smoother/laggier momentum; smaller = snappier.
* **TSI gate (`CrossOnly / CrossOrSlope / Off`)**
* **CrossOnly**: require TSI cross of its signal (strict).
* **CrossOrSlope**: cross *or* favorable slope (balanced default).
* **Off**: no momentum gate (most signals, most noise).
---
### F) Guards (filters to avoid low-quality tape)
* **US focus 09:35–10:30 & 14:00–15:45 (base) (`useTimeBase`)**
`true` limits to high-quality windows. `false` trades all session.
* **Skip N bars after 09:30 ET (`skipFirst`)**
Skips the open scramble. Larger = skip longer.
* **Min volatility ATR% (base)** = `useVolMinBase` + `atrPctMinBase`
Requires `ATR(10)/Close*100 ≥ atrPctMinBase`. Raise threshold to avoid dead tape; lower to accept quieter sessions.
* **Gap guard (base)** = `gapGuardBase` + `gapMul`
Blocks signals when the opening gap exceeds `gapMul * ATR`. Increase `gapMul` to allow more gapped opens; decrease to be stricter.
---
### G) Visuals & Sides
* **Plot Keltner (`plotKC`)** → show/hide basis & bands.
* **Show Longs / Show Shorts** → enable/disable each side.
---
### H) Fail-Safe Confirmation
* **Confirm mode (`BreakHighOnly / BreakHigh+Hold / TwoBarImpulse`)**
* **BreakHighOnly**: confirm by taking out the armed bar’s extreme. Fastest, most frequent.
* **BreakHigh+Hold**: must **break**, have **body ≥ X·ATR**, **and** hold above/below the basis → higher quality, fewer signals.
* **TwoBarImpulse**: decisive follow-through vs. prior bar with **body ≥ X·ATR** → momentum-biased confirmations.
* **Confirm within N bars (`confirmBars`)**
Confirmation window size. Smaller = faster validation; larger = more patience (can be later).
* **Impulse body ≥ X·ATR (`impulseBodyATR`)**
Raise for stronger confirmations (fewer weak triangles). Lower to accept lighter pushes.
* **Require market alignment (`needMarket`) + `marketTicker`**
When enabled: Longs require **market > EMA20 (5m)**; Shorts require **market < EMA20 (5m)**.
* **Diagnostics: Show debug letters (`debug`)**
Tiny “B/C” audit marks for base/confirm while tuning.
---
## Tuning recipes (quick, practical)
* **If you’re getting chopped:**
* Set **Mode = Conservative**
* **Confirm mode = BreakHigh+Hold**
* Raise **impulseBodyATR** (e.g., 0.45)
* Keep **needMarket = true**
* Keep **Strict NR = true**
* **If you need more signals:**
* **Mode = Aggressive** (or Turbo if you accept more noise)
* **Confirm mode = BreakHighOnly**
* Lower **impulseBodyATR** (0.25–0.30)
* Increase **confirmBars** to 3
* **Range-day focus (fades):**
* Keep session guard on
* Raise **zFadeBase** to demand real stretch
* Keep **maxZTrendBase** moderate (don’t chase)
* **Trend-day focus (reclaims):**
* Slightly **lower `maxZTrendBase`** (avoid chasing excessive stretch)
* Use **CrossOrSlope** TSI gating
* Consider turning **needMarket** on
---
## Best practices & notes
* **Instrument specificity:** Tune Z, TSI, and guards per symbol and timeframe.
* **Session awareness:** Session filter uses **exchange-local** time; adjust for non-US markets.
* **Automation:** Use the two provided alert names; they’re stable.
* **Risk management:** Confirmation improves quality but doesn’t remove risk. Always pre-define stop/size logic.
---
## Suggested starting point (balanced profile)
* **Mode = balanced**
* **Strict NR = true**
* **Confirm mode = BreakHigh+Hold**
* **confirmBars = 2**
* **impulseBodyATR ≈ 0.35**
* **needMarket = off** (turn on for extra confluence)
* Leave Keltner/TSI defaults; then nudge `zFadeBase` and `maxZTrendBase` to match your symbol.

VWAP Multi-TimeframeThis is a multi-timeframe VWAP indicator that provides volume weighted average price calculations for the following time periods:
15min
30min
1H
2H
4H
6H
8H
12H
1D
1W
1M
3M
6M
1Y
You can use the lower timeframes for short term trend control areas and use the longer timeframes for long term trend control areas. Trade in the direction of the trend and watch for price reactions that you can trade when price gets close to or touches any of these levels.
This indicator will provide a data plot value of 1 for bullish when price is above all VWAPs that are turned on, -1 for bearish when price is below all VWAPs that are turned on and 0 for neutral when price is not above or below all VWAPs. Use this 1, -1, 0 value as a filter on your signal generating indicators so that you can prevent signals from coming in unless they are in the same direction as the VWAP trend.
Features
Trend direction value of 1, -1 or 0 to send to external indicators so you can filter your signal generating indicators using the VWAP trend.
Trend table that shows you whether price is above or below all of the major VWAPs. This includes the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly VWAPs.
Trend coloring between each VWAP and the close price of each candle so you can easily identify the trend direction.
Customization
Set the source value to use for all of the VWAP calculations. The default is HLC3.
Turn on or off each VWAP.
Change the color of each VWAP line.
Change the thickness of each VWAP line.
Turn on or off labels for each VWAP or turn all labels on or off at once.
Change the offset length from the current bar to the label text.
Change the label text color.
Turn on or off trend coloring for each VWAP.
Change the color for up trends and down trends.
Turn on or off the trend direction display table.
Change the location of the trend direction display table.
Adjust the background and text colors on the trend direction display table.
How To Use The Trend Direction Filtering Feature
The indicator will provide a data plot value of 1 for bullish when price is above all of the VWAPs that are turned on, a value of -1 for bearish when price is below all of the VWAPS that are turned on and a value of 0 for neutral when price is above and below some of the VWAPs that are turned on.
The name of the value to use with your external indicators will show up as: VWAP Multi-Timeframe: Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators
Make sure to use that as your source on your external indicators to get the correct values.
This 1, -1 or 0 value can then be used by another external indicator to tell the indicator what is allowed to do. For instance if you have another indicator that provides buy and sell signals, you can use this trend direction value to prevent your other indicator from giving a sell signal when the VWAP trend is bullish or prevent your other indicator from giving a buy signal when the VWAP trend is bearish.
You will need to program your other indicators to use this trend filtering feature, but this indicator is already set up with this filtering code so you can use it with any other indicator that you choose to filter(if you know how to customize pine script).
Markets You Can Use This Indicator On
This indicator uses volume and price to calculate values, so it will work on any chart that provides volume and price data.
Swing Point Volume Z-ScoreSWING POINT VOLUME Z-SCORE INDICATOR
A volume analysis tool that identifies statistical volume spikes at swing points with optional higher timeframe confirmation.
This indicator uses Leviathan's method of swing detection. All credit to him for his amazing work (and any mistakes mine). I was also inspired by Trading Riot, who's Capitulation indicator gave me the idea to create this one.
WHAT IT DOES
This indicator combines three analytical approaches:
- Volume Z-score calculation to measure volume significance statistically
- Automatic swing point detection (higher highs, lower lows, etc.)
- Optional higher timeframe volume confirmation
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations current volume is from the average, helping identify when volume activity is genuinely elevated rather than relying on visual assessment.
VISUAL SYSTEM
The indicator uses a color-coded approach for quick assessment:
GREEN - Normal Activity (Z-Score 1.0-2.0)
Above-average volume levels
ORANGE - Elevated Activity (Z-Score 2.0-3.0)
High volume activity that may indicate increased interest
RED - Potential Institutional Activity (Z-Score 3.0+)
Very high volume levels that could suggest significant market participation
HIGHER TIMEFRAME CONFIRMATION
When enabled, the indicator checks volume on a higher timeframe:
- Checkmark symbol indicates HTF volume also shows elevation
- X symbol indicates HTF volume doesn't confirm
- Auto-selects appropriate higher timeframe or allows manual selection
KEY FEATURES
Statistical Approach: Uses Z-score methodology rather than arbitrary volume thresholds
Adaptive Thresholds: Can adjust based on market volatility conditions
Swing Focus: Concentrates analysis on structurally important price levels
Volume Trends: Shows whether volume is accelerating or decelerating
Success Tracking: Monitors how often HTF confirmation proves effective
DISPLAY OPTIONS
Basic Mode: Essential features with clean interface
Advanced Mode: Additional customization and analytics
Label Sizing: Four size options to fit different screen setups
Table Position: Moveable info table with transparency control
Custom Colors: Adjustable for different chart themes
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
May help identify:
- Volume spikes at support/resistance levels
- Potential accumulation or distribution zones
- Breakout confirmation with volume backing
- Areas where larger market participants might be active
Works on all liquid markets and timeframes, though generally more effective on 15-minute charts and higher.
USAGE NOTES
This is an analytical tool that highlights statistically significant volume events. It should be used as part of a broader analysis approach rather than as a standalone trading system.
The indicator works best when combined with:
- Price action analysis
- Support and resistance identification
- Trend analysis
- Proper risk management
Default settings are designed to work well across most instruments, but users can adjust parameters based on their specific needs and trading style.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Built with Pine Script v5
Compatible with all TradingView subscription levels
Open source code available for review and learning
Works on stocks, forex, crypto, futures, and other liquid instruments
The statistical approach helps remove some subjectivity from volume analysis, though like all technical indicators, it should be used thoughtfully as part of a complete trading plan.
ATAI Triangles — Volume-Based & Price Pattern Analysis (v1.01)ATAI Triangles — Volume-Based & Price Pattern Analysis (v1.01)
Overview
ATAI Triangles identifies two synchronized triangle structures — Hi-Lo-Hi (HLH) and Lo-Hi-Lo (LHL) — and analyzes them both geometrically and volumetrically. For each triangle, volume is split between its two legs (segments), providing interpretable insights into buyer vs seller activity along each path.
The idea is that certain geometric shapes, when paired with volume distribution on each leg, can reveal patterns worth exploring. Users are encouraged to share their observations and interpretations in the TradingView comments section so that more aspects of these triangle combinations can be discovered collectively.
Extra (for fun)
For a bit of entertainment, we’ve included a symbolic “hexagram” glyph that appears when both triangle types align in a particular way — it’s just a visual nod to geometry and has no predictive or trading value.
Interface & data clarity
- Inputs and parameters are organized by function (pattern geometry, volume analysis, visuals, HUD, labels).
- Each input includes tooltips explaining its purpose, units, and possible effects on calculations.
- All on-chart objects (polylines, labels, connectors) are named and colored to reflect their role, with volume values formatted in engineering notation (K, M, B).
- HUD columns and label texts use concise terms and consistent units, so that every displayed value is directly traceable to a calculation in the code.
- Daily and lower-timeframe volume series are clearly separated, with update logic documented to indicate intrabar provisional values vs finalized bar-close values.
Usage notes
Designed to be used alongside other indicators and chart tools for context; it is not a standalone signal generator.
All Buy/Sell volumes are absolute (non-negative); Δ = Buy − Sell.
Intrabar values update live and finalize at bar close (no repaint after close).

HIGH VOLUME BY EAGLE EYESHIGH VOLUME BY EAGLE EYES is a smart price–volume analysis tool that helps traders identify high-probability breakout zones based on consolidation, breakout direction, and volume strength.
Key Features:
Order Block Detection: Finds bullish and bearish order blocks after periods of consolidation.
Volume Analysis: Supports three calculation methods — Simple, Relative (to average volume), and Weighted — to gauge volume strength.
Breakout Filtering: Confirms breakouts only when accompanied by above-threshold volume.
Visual Markers: Plots color-coded boxes on the chart showing the breakout zone with live volume multipliers.
Customizable Settings: Adjustable lookback periods, breakout threshold, maximum number of displayed blocks, and volume sensitivity.
Usage:
Apply to your chart with your desired timeframe.
Watch for green boxes (bullish breakouts) and red boxes (bearish breakouts).
Boxes are removed if price mitigates them (invalidated by opposite movement).
Works on all instruments and timeframes, especially effective in volatile markets for breakout traders.
MDX:Time the selling:VSMarketTrendThe MDX: Time the Sell indicator is designed to identify high-probability profit-booking points and potential trend shift zones by combining price deviation analysis with multi-layered market context filters.
It builds upon the Mean Deviation Index (MDX) concept — measuring how far price has moved away from its mean — but enhances it with dynamic EMA structures, volatility normalization, and momentum overlays.
Data Sources
Price & Volume Data: Direct from TradingView’s built-in real-time feed.
ATR & Volatility Metrics: Based on TradingView’s ATR and standard deviation functions.
EMA Structures: Multiple EMAs for both long-term and short-term market bias tracking.
VWAP: Used for intraday institutional bias measurement.
RSI: Period-specific overbought/oversold detection.
Custom MDX Calculation: Uses an ATR-filtered EMA process to normalize price deviations across different market conditions.
Calculation Approach (High-Level)
While the exact logic is internal, here’s the conceptual flow:
Baseline Mean → Built using an ATR-adjusted EMA to represent a smoothed market mean that adapts to volatility.
Deviation Measurement → Compares current price against the mean, adjusted for ATR to avoid noise.
Trend Context Filters → Multiple EMA layers (short, medium, long) combined with MACD, RSI, and VWAP context.
Signal Structuring →
Red Top Line → Long-term EMA of MDX, representing strong deviation extremes.
Dotted Lower Line → Short-term EMA of MDX, used for quicker turn detection.
Grey MDX Line → Base deviation measurement, showing live market stretch from mean.
How to Use This Indicator
Best Use Case: Timing Profit Booking
Primary Sell Alert → When the MDX line touches the red top line, it indicates a significant overextension from the mean, often preceding a correction. This is where profit booking is most effective.
Sell Confirmation → Red or orange vertical lines mark complete exit zones based on multi-condition trend weakening.
High-Risk Overbought Zone → Blue vertical lines appear when RSI > 80, warning of potential pullbacks even if trend remains intact.
Buy Zone Detection
Green Vertical Line → Suggests a possible re-entry or add-on point, where deviation and momentum align for potential upward continuation.
Visual Guide
Grey Line → Live MDX reading.
Dotted Line (Lower) → Short-term MDX EMA.
Red Line (Upper) → Long-term MDX EMA.
Vertical Green → Possible buy/add zone.
Vertical Red/Orange → Full sell/offload signal.
Blue Vertical → RSI-based overbought warning.
another example
Trading Tips
Use with Trend Context → Best results when aligned with higher timeframe trend direction.
Pair with Volume Analysis → Large deviation + volume spike often signals strong reversal probability.
Avoid Overtrading → Wait for the MDX to reach extreme red-line contact before aggressive selling.
Multi-Timeframe Check → Confirm signals on both your trading and one higher timeframe for higher accuracy.
VIV 1.0 // AN IDEA BY Sunil SethiVIV (Very Important Volume) is a custom-built TradingView indicator designed to decode the psychology behind price and volume behavior — whether you are a breakout trader, reversal trader, or use your own discretionary logic. VIV reveals where institutional activity is likely taking place, highlights trend stages, uncovers volume footprints, and identifies high-probability trading zones — all with zero lag & 100% price-action-based logic.
Key Features (Expanded Concepts)
01. Trend-Based Analysis with Stages and Background Colors
VIV breaks down the market into three color-coded stages based on trend confirmation:
Stage 3: Uptrend (Short-Term Trend Confirmation)
Marks early accumulation or consolidation.
Shows possible reversal zones.
Short-term traders use this to spot opportunities before a breakout.
Stage 2: Uptrend (Medium-Term Trend Confirmation)
Highlights the start of a strong directional move.
Confidence zone for position building and breakout-following strategies.
Stage 1: Uptrend (Long-Term Trend Confirmation)
Indicates long term strength.
These trend stages reflect the emotional phases of market participants and the shifting balance of power between buyers and sellers. You can toggle trend backgrounds for intraday, daily, weekly, and monthly trends and change their background colors.
Note : If the % difference in Stage 3 exceeds 10%, the stock is considered extended. Such setups should be evaluated with caution before making any trade decisions.
02. . Volume Footprints (➕ Signs)
VIV intelligently identifies past candles with high-volume activity (accumulation/distribution).
These are not typical breakout volumes, but subtle footprints of smart money.
Help spot reversal points, liquidity zones, and retest levels.
Valuable for both breakout and reversal traders to confirm zone strength.
You can enable or disable these lines, adjust color, style, and width via VIV Line Settings.
03. VIV || H, VIV || L and VIV || C Zones
Automatically plots horizontal levels from high-volume, high-activity candles—revealing the footprints of smart money.
VIV || H (High) = Top of important bar.
VIV || L (Low) = Bottom of important bar.
VIV || C (Close) = Close price of important bar.
Key levels used by traders for:
Entries
Stop-loss placement
Targets
These zones show where price historically reacted due to strong institutional presence. They come with customizable label colors and backgrounds.
04. Price Tightness Detection
Detects when two or more candles compress within the range of a larger parent candle.
Represents indecision, contraction, or coiling behavior before major price moves.
Ideal for both:
Breakout traders looking for base formations.
Reversal traders watching for exhaustion.
Color-coded markers indicate such tight price zones — disabled by default but can be enabled.
05. Technical Stats Panel (Important Data Table)
An insightful dashboard providing:
ADR% – Volatility-based movement expectations (change period via input).
ATR – Real volatility indicator.
Average Volume / Price Volume – Customizable average period and currency unit (INR/USD).
Trend Data:
10/20/200 SMAs
10-week & 20-week trend stages (custom SMA period/timeframe supported)
Relative Strength vs Benchmark
RS grade: GREAT, GOOD, FAIR, UNCERTAIN, UNDER PERFORMER, LAGGARD, POOR
When RS is comparing: BOTH STRONG, BOTH WEEK
You can also display the benchmark symbol name and change the symbol for relative strength comparison.
06. Relative Strength Grade Change Alerts
VIV tracks relative strength changes against a chosen benchmark (e.g., Nifty MidSmallCap).
The above tells us that if the stock is stronger or weaker than the benchmark.
Detects when relative strength shifts from:
Strong → Weak (e.g., EXCELLENT → GOOD → FAIR)
Weak → Strong (e.g., LAGGARD → POOR → FAIR → GOOD)
Sudden transitions (e.g., WORST → FAIR, BOTH WEAK → GOOD, BOTH GOOD → POOR)
BOTH WEAK → GOOD or BOTH GOOD → POOR means stock's strength is better/poor than the benchmark
and more.
These alerts can help in:
Early trend following
Exiting when RS degrades
Adding positions when RS improves
07. Smart Alerts (Built-in Conditions)
You can set alerts for (any timeframe)
Positive Trend
Negative Trend
Rise in Volume
Relative Strength Changed
Set your preferred interval and trigger type in TradingView to stay updated without chart-watching.
08. Pivot Points
VIV allows visualizing pivot highs and lows using a dynamic window (left/right lookback).
Customizable label text and background color.
Helpful in identifying support or resistance zones and breakout points.
09. Customization Options
Toggle modules like trend background, labels, stats, and volume zones.
Customize colors for:
Labels
Zones
Trend backgrounds
Table text, borders, and alignment
Adjust visibility per timeframe (inputs tab)
How to Use VIV Effectively
Use trend background colors to identify phase (base, uptrend, top).
Look for stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3 for short, medium and long term trend.
Watch for old high-volume candles (➕ marks) to plan entries/exits.
Trade around ➕ marks, VIV || H and VIV || L levels.
Use tight price zones to anticipate explosive moves.
Monitor table for ATR/ADR, RS grade, and moving averages.
Use alerts to automate monitoring of trend, volume, or RS shifts.
Best Suited For:
Reversal traders (demand/supply based)
Breakout traders using base-building logic
Systematic or discretionary traders
Anyone who values price-volume behavior over lagging indicators
AVWAP from day's highThis indicator will automatically plot AVWAP from day's high candle.
formual will be HL/2 and H
Trend+Volume Confluence IndicatorScalper and swing trading signals: use the 15–30 minute charts for scalps and the 4–8 hour charts for swings. Add the Money Flow Index (MFI) for extra confluence. In an uptrend, if the MFI is at or above the halfway mark and rising, take the long. In a downtrend, if the MFI is at or below the halfway mark and falling, take the short.
Multiple Timeframe Rolling VWAPsThis indicator plots up to five customizable time-based Rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price (RVWAP) lines.
Each VWAP can be enabled or disabled and configured with a user-defined time period (days, hours, minutes) and minimum bars. It supports multi-timeframe analysis, allowing users to toggle between the current chart resolution and a custom timeframe (e.g., daily, weekly).
Ideal for traders analyzing volume-weighted price trends across multiple periods. Features include five independent VWAP lines with distinct colors, flexible time periods, and robust calculations. Ensure your chart has volume data for accurate results.

📌 MEGA BAR TRADING CHEAT SHEET
Spot Big Money. Ride the Move.
===================================
🧠 WHAT’S A MEGA BAR?
A Mega Bar is a candle so big it makes the rest look tiny — and it often means institutions are making a move.
Check the 4 Rules:
✅ Body size ≥ 2x average
✅ High relative volume (vs. last 20 bars)
✅ Closes near high (bull) or low (bear)
✅ Comes after sideways chop or price squeeze
📈 WHY IT MATTERS
Mega Bars = intent, not random spikes.
🟢 Mega Bull near support/Fib pullback → Likely accumulation
🔴 Mega Bear near resistance/Fib extension → Likely distribution or trap
🔧 HOW TO TRADE IT
1. WAIT FOR IT
No Mega Bar → No trade.
Mega Bull (big green) → BUY bias.
Mega Bear (big red) → SELL bias.
2. FIND THE SPOT
Fib levels: 61.8% / 78.6% / 138.2%
Major Support/Resistance
3. CONFIRM ON BIGGER TIMEFRAME
Example: 15M Mega Bar → Check 1H trend direction.
4. SET YOUR LEVELS
Stop-Loss:
Long → Below Mega Bull low (+0.2×ATR)
Short → Above Mega Bear high (+0.2×ATR)
Take-Profit:
Fib extensions: 127.2% / 161.8% / 261.8%
Prior highs/lows
5. RISK SMART
Risk 1–2% max per trade

Breakout Volume Momentum [5m]Breakout Volume Momentum Indicator (Pine Script v5)
This TradingView Pine Script v5 indicator plots a green dot below a 5-minute price bar whenever all the breakout and volume conditions are met. It is optimized for live intraday trading (not backtesting) and includes customizable inputs for thresholds and trading session times. Key features and conditions of this indicator:
Gap Up Threshold: Current price is up at least X% (default 20%) from the previous day’s close (uses higher-timeframe daily data) before any signal can trigger.
Relative Volume (RVOL): Current bar’s volume is at least Y× (default 2×) the average volume of the last 20 bars. This ensures unusually high volume is present, indicating strong interest.
Trend Alignment: Price is trading above the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) and above a fast EMA. In addition, the fast EMA (default 9) is above the slower EMA (default 20) to confirm bullish momentum
tradingview.com
tradingview.com
. These filters ensure the stock is in an intraday uptrend (above the average price and rising EMAs).
Intraday Breakout (optional): Optionally require the price to break above the recent intraday high (default last 30 bars). If enabled, a signal only occurs when the stock exceeds its prior range high, confirming a breakout. This can be toggled on/off in the settings.
Avoid Parabolic Spikes: The script skips any bar with an excessively large range (default >12% from low to high), to avoid triggering on spiky or unsustainable parabolic candles.
Time Window Filter: Signals are restricted to a specific session window (by default 09:30 – 11:00 exchange time, typically the morning session) and will not trigger outside these hours. The session window is adjustable via inputs
stackoverflow.com
.
Alerts: An alert condition is provided so you can set a Trading View alert to send a push notification when a green dot signal fires. The alert message includes the ticker and price at the time of signal.
VWAP CALENDARThe VWAP CALENDAR indicator plots up to 20 anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) lines on your chart, each starting from a user-defined date and time (e.g., April 20, 2024). Designed for simplicity, it helps traders visualize VWAPs for key events or dates, with customizable labels and colors. The indicator is optimized for crypto markets (e.g., BTC/USD) but works with any symbol providing volume data.
Features: Multiple VWAPs: Configure up to 20
independent VWAPs, each with a custom anchor date and time.
Dynamic Labels: Labels update in real-time, aligning precisely with each VWAP line’s price level, positioned to the right of the chart for clarity.
Customizable Settings: Adjust label text (e.g., “Event A”), line colors, line widths (1–5 pixels), text colors, and text sizes (8–40 points, default 22).
Bubble or No-Background Labels: Choose between bubble-style labels (with colored backgrounds) or plain text labels without backgrounds.
Timeframe Support: Accurate on daily, 4-hour, 1-hour, and 30-minute charts for anchors within ~1.5 years (e.g., April 20, 2024, from August 2025).
Limitations: VWAP accuracy for anchors like April 20, 2024 (~477 days back) is reliable on 1-hour and larger timeframes. Below 30-minute (e.g., 15-minute, 24-minute), VWAPs may start later or be unavailable due to TradingView’s 5,000-bar historical data limit. For distant anchors, use 4-hour or daily charts to ensure accuracy.
Requires sufficient chart history (e.g., premium account or deep exchange data) for older anchors on 1-hour or 30-minute charts.
Usage Notes: Set anchor dates via the indicator settings (e.g., “2024-04-20 00:00”).
