BPR [TakingProphets]The BPR (Balanced Price Range) Indicator by Taking Prophets is built for traders who follow ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and smart money strategies. In ICT methodology, a Balanced Price Range (BPR) occurs when price rapidly moves in one direction, creating an imbalance that often gets revisited before price continues its trend. These areas represent inefficiencies in the market where liquidity was not properly distributed, making them key zones for potential retracements and trade setups.
How the Indicator Works:
🔹 Automatically Detects BPRs – No need to manually mark imbalances; the indicator highlights them for you.
🔹 Helps Identify Smart Money Footprints – Spot areas where price is likely to retrace and rebalance liquidity.
🔹 Customizable Sensitivity – Adjust detection parameters based on your preferred trading style.
🔹 Works Across All Markets – Apply it to Forex, Futures, Crypto, and Stocks on TradingView.
🔹 Clean and Intuitive Interface – Designed to be simple yet powerful for both new and experienced traders.

Midnight Range Standard DeviationsCredit to Lex Fx for the basic framework of this script
This indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trading opportunities based on the Intraday Concurrency Technique (ICT) concepts, specifically the midnight range deviations and their relationship to Fibonacci levels. It builds upon the work of Lex-FX, whom we gratefully acknowledge for the original concept and inspiration for this indicator.
Core Concept: ICT Midnight Range
The core of this indicator revolves around the concept of the midnight range. According to ICT, the high and low formed in a specific time window (typically the first 30 minutes after midnight, New York Time) can serve as a key reference point for intraday price action. The indicator identifies this range and projects potential support and resistance levels based on deviations from this range, combined with Fibonacci ratios.
How ICT Uses Midnight Range Deviations
ICT methodology often involves looking for price to move away from the initial midnight range, then return to it, or deviate beyond it, as key areas for potential entries.
Range Identification: The indicator automatically identifies the high and low of the midnight range (00:00 - 00:30 NY Time).
Deviation Levels: The indicator calculates and displays deviation levels based on multiples of the initial midnight range. These levels are often used to identify potential areas of support and resistance, as well as potential targets for price movement. These levels can be set in the additional fib levels section, which can be configured in increments of .5 deviations all the way up to 12 deviations.
Fibonacci Confluence: ICT often emphasizes the confluence of multiple factors. This indicator adds Fibonacci levels to the midnight range deviations. This allows traders to identify areas where Fibonacci retracements or extensions align with the deviation levels, potentially creating stronger areas of support or resistance.
Looking for Sweeps: ICT often uses these levels to look for times that the high and low are swept as potential areas of liquidity, indicating the start of potential continuations.
Time-Based Analysis: The time at which price interacts with these levels can also be significant in ICT. The indicator provides options to extend the range lines to specific times (e.g., 3 hours, 6 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, or a custom defined time) after midnight, allowing traders to focus on specific periods of the trading day.
Indicator Settings Explained:

It will only draw lines for candles that match your chosen criteria (up or down candles), ensuring the chart remains clean and relevant to your trading strategy. Lines are automatically removed as soon as price crosses them.
Candle Partition Statistics with IQV and Chi2NOTE: THE FORMULA IN THE CHART IS NOT PART OF THE CODE
This Pine Script calculates statistical measures for candle partitions based on whether a candle is bullish or bearish and whether the price is above or below an EMA. It evaluates statistical properties such as the Index of Qualitative Variation (IQV) and the Chi-Square (χ²) statistic to assess variations in price action.
Concept of Index of Qualitative Variation (IQV)
IQV is a statistical measure used to quantify the diversity or dispersion of categorical variables. In this script, it is used to measure how evenly the four categories of candles (green above EMA, red above EMA, green below EMA, red below EMA) are distributed.
Purpose of IQV in the Script:
IQV ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates no variation (one category dominates) and 1 indicates maximum variation (categories are equally distributed).
A high IQV suggests balanced distributions of bullish/bearish candles above/below the EMA, indicating market uncertainty or mixed sentiment.
A low IQV suggests dominance of a particular candle type, indicating a strong trend.
Concept of Chi-Square (χ²) Test
Chi-square (χ²) is a statistical test that measures the difference between expected and observed frequencies of categorical data. It assesses whether short-term price behavior significantly deviates from historical trends.
Purpose of Chi-Square in the Script:
A high χ² value means that short-term candle distributions are significantly different from historical patterns, indicating potential trend shifts.
If χ² exceeds a predefined significance threshold (chi_threshold), an alert (Chi² Alert!) is triggered.
It helps traders identify periods where recent price behavior deviates from historical norms, possibly signaling trend reversals or market regime changes.
Key Takeaways:
IQV helps measure the diversity of price action, detecting whether the market is balanced or trending.
Chi-square (χ²) identifies significant deviations in short-term price behavior compared to long-term trends.
Both metrics together provide insights into whether the market is stable, trending, or shifting.
The Nasan C-score enhances trend strength by incorporating volatility. It is calculated as:
enhanced_t_s =(𝑡𝑠 × avg_movement x 100)/SMA(𝑐lose)
Key Components:
𝑡𝑠 : Measures trend strength based on price movements relative to EMA.
ts=green_EMAup_a+0.5×red_EMAup_a−(0.5×green_EMAdown_a+red_EMAdown_a)
avg_movement: The SMA of absolute close-open differences, capturing volatility.
Normalization: The division by SMA(close) adjusts the score relative to price levels.
Purpose of the Nasan C-score
Enhanced Trend Strength
It amplifies the trend strength value by factoring in volatility (price movement).
If price volatility is high, trend strength variations have a greater impact.
Volatility-Adjusted Momentum
By scaling 𝑡𝑠 with average movement, the score adjusts to changing price dynamics.
Higher price fluctuations lead to a higher score, making trend shifts more prominent.
How It Can Be Used in Trading
Higher values of Nasan C-score indicate strong bullish or bearish trends.
Comparing it with past values helps determine whether momentum is increasing or fading.
Thresholds can be set to identify significant trend shifts based on historical highs and lows.
PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAPPumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator for Tradingview
Introduction
This is an indicator for the Candle By Candle (CBC) Flip strategy , based on the CBC Flip concept taught by MapleStax and inspired by the original CBC Flip indicator by AsiaRoo . The CBC Flip strategy is a simple yet effective approach to gauge if bulls or bears are in control for any given candle.
The logic behind the CBC Flip is as follows:
Bullish Flip : If the most recent candle’s close is above the previous candle’s high, bulls have taken control.
Bearish Flip : If the most recent candle’s close is below the previous candle’s low, bears are now in control.
No Flip : If neither condition is met, the previously dominant side (bulls or bears) remains in control until one of these conditions is satisfied, flipping the market sentiment—hence the name CBC Flip .
The PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator enhances this simple strategy by adding trend confirmation filters using EMAs and VWAP , along with time-restricted signal generation and fully customizable alerts.
What Does This Indicator Do?
The PumpC CBC EMAs + VWAP Indicator helps traders identify CBC Flips to spot potential trend continuations or reversals. It combines candlestick logic , trend filters , and time-based restrictions to provide high-probability trade signals.
CBC Flip Detection
Bullish Flip : Current close is above the previous candle’s high.
Bearish Flip : Current close is below the previous candle’s low.
Strict Flips : Require a liquidity sweep for higher accuracy.
All Flips : Looser conditions that generate more frequent signals.
EMA and VWAP Trend Confirmation (Optional)
This filter ensures that long signals only trigger when the Slow EMA is above the VWAP , confirming an upward trend. For short signals, the Slow EMA must be below the VWAP.
Time-Based Filtering
The indicator allows you to set a specific trading window (e.g., 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM), helping you avoid low-volume or high-risk periods.
Visual Labels and Alerts
Labels : Arrows (▲ for long and ▼ for short) mark CBC Flip points on the chart.
Alerts : Fully customizable notifications for each signal type, based on your chosen filters.
Key Features
CBC Flip Detection : Identify potential reversals and trend continuations.

[SHORT ONLY] 10 Bar Low Pullback█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "10 Bar Low Pullback" strategy is a contrarian short trading system designed to capture pullbacks after a new 10‐bar low is made. it identifies a potential short opportunity when the current bar’s low breaks below the lowest low of the previous 10 bars, provided that the bar exhibits strong internal momentum as measured by its IBS value. An optional trend filter further refines entries by requiring that the close is below a 200-period EMA.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) measures where the closing price falls within the high-low range of a bar. It is calculated as:
ibs = (close - low) / (high - low)
- Low IBS (≤ 0.2): Indicates the close is near the bar's low, suggesting oversold conditions.
- High IBS (≥ 0.8): Indicates the close is near the bar's high, suggesting overbought conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A Short Signal is triggered when:
The current bar’s low is below the lowest low of the past X bars (default: 10).
The bar’s IBS is greater than the specified threshold (default: 0.85).
The signal occurs within the defined trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
If the EMA Filter is enabled, the close must be below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit Signal is generated when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low (close < low ), indicating a potential bearish reversal and prompting the strategy to close its short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Lookback Period: Defines the number of bars (default is 10) over which the lowest low is calculated.
IBS Threshold: Sets the minimum required IBS value (default is 0.85) to qualify as a pullback.
Trading Window: Trades are only executed between the user-defined Start Time and End Time.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, short entries are only considered if the current close is below the 200-period EMA, with the EMA period being adjustable (default is 200).
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Designed for shorting opportunities, this strategy aims to capture pullbacks following an aggressive 10-bar low break.
It leverages a combination of a lookback low and IBS measurement to identify overextended bullish moves that may revert.
The optional EMA filter helps confirm a bearish market environment by ensuring the price remains under the trend line.
Suitable for use on various assets, including stocks and ETFs, on daily or similar timeframes.
Backtesting and parameter optimization are recommended to tailor the strategy to specific market conditions.
[SHORT ONLY] ATR Sell the Rip Mean Reversion Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "ATR Sell the Rip Mean Reversion Strategy" is a contrarian system that targets overextended price moves on stocks and ETFs. It calculates an ATR‐based trigger level to identify shorting opportunities. When the current close exceeds this smoothed ATR trigger, and if the close is below a 200-period EMA (if enabled), the strategy initiates a short entry, aiming to profit from an anticipated corrective pullback.
█ HOW IS THE ATR SIGNAL BAND CALCULATED?
This strategy computes an ATR-based signal trigger as follows:
Calculate the ATR
The strategy computes the Average True Range (ATR) using a configurable period provided by the user:
atrValue = ta.atr(atrPeriod)
Determine the Threshold
Multiply the ATR by a predefined multiplier and add it to the current close:
atrThreshold = close + atrValue * atrMultInput
Smooth the Threshold
Apply a Simple Moving Average over a specified period to smooth out the threshold, reducing noise:
signalTrigger = ta.sma(atrThreshold, smoothPeriodInput)
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A Short Signal is triggered when:
The current close is above the smoothed ATR signal trigger.
The trade occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
If the EMA filter is enabled, the close must also be below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit Signal is generated when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low (close < low ), indicating a potential bearish reversal and prompting the strategy to close its short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
ATR Period: The period used to calculate the ATR, allowing for adaptability to different volatility conditions (default is 20).
ATR Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the ATR to determine the raw threshold (default is 1.0).
Smoothing Period: The period over which the raw ATR threshold is smoothed using an SMA (default is 10).
Start Time and End Time: Defines the time window during which trades are allowed.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, short entries are only executed if the current close is below the 200-period EMA, confirming a bearish trend.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for use on the Daily timeframe, targeting stocks and ETFs by capitalizing on overextended price moves.
It utilizes a dynamic, ATR-based trigger to identify when prices have potentially peaked, setting the stage for a mean reversion short entry.
The optional EMA filter helps align trades with broader market trends, potentially reducing false signals.
Backtesting is recommended to fine-tune the ATR multiplier, smoothing period, and EMA settings to match the volatility and behavior of specific markets.
[SHORT ONLY] Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy" is a contrarian trading system aimed at exploiting overextended bullish moves in stocks and ETFs. It monitors the number of consecutive bars that close above a chosen short-term moving average (which can be either a Simple Moving Average or an Exponential Moving Average). Once the count reaches a preset threshold and the current bar’s close exceeds the previous bar’s high within a designated trading window, a short entry is initiated. An optional EMA filter further refines entries by requiring that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, helping to ensure that trades are taken in a bearish environment.
█ HOW ARE THE CONSECUTIVE BULLISH COUNTS CALCULATED?
The strategy utilizes a counter variable, `bullCount`, to track consecutive bullish bars based on their relation to the short-term moving average. Here’s how the count is determined:
Initialize the Counter
The counter is initialized at the start:
var int bullCount = na
Bullish Bar Detection
For each bar, if the close is above the selected moving average (either SMA or EMA, based on user input), the counter is incremented:
bullCount := close > signalMa ? (na(bullCount) ? 1 : bullCount + 1) : 0
Reset on Non-Bullish Condition
If the close does not exceed the moving average, the counter resets to zero, indicating a break in the consecutive bullish streak.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A short signal is generated when:
The number of consecutive bullish bars (i.e., bars closing above the short-term MA) meets or exceeds the defined threshold (default: 3).
The current bar’s close is higher than the previous bar’s high.
The signal occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
Additionally, if the EMA filter is enabled, the entry is only executed when the current close is below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit signal is triggered when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low, prompting the strategy to close the short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Threshold: The number of consecutive bullish bars required to trigger a short entry (default is 3).
Trading Window: The Start Time and End Time inputs define when the strategy is active.
Moving Average Settings: Choose between SMA and EMA, and set the MA length (default is 5), which is used to assess each bar’s bullish condition.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, this filter requires that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, supporting entries in a downtrend.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for stocks and ETFs and can be applied across various timeframes.
It seeks to capture mean reversion by shorting after a series of bullish bars suggests an overextended move.
The approach employs a contrarian short entry by waiting for a breakout (close > previous high) following consecutive bullish bars.
The adjustable moving average settings and optional EMA filter allow for further optimization based on market conditions.
Comprehensive backtesting is recommended to fine-tune the threshold, moving average parameters, and filter settings for optimal performance.
[SHORT ONLY] Consecutive Close>High[1] Mean Reversion Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Consecutive Close > High " Mean Reversion Strategy is a contrarian daily trading system for stocks and ETFs. It identifies potential shorting opportunities by counting consecutive days where the closing price exceeds the previous day's high. When this consecutive day count reaches a predetermined threshold, and if the close is below a 200-period EMA (if enabled), a short entry is triggered, anticipating a corrective pullback.
█ HOW ARE THE CONSECUTIVE BULLISH COUNTS CALCULATED?
The strategy uses a counter variable called `bullCount` to track how many consecutive bars meet a bullish condition. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Initialize the Counter
var int bullCount = 0
Bullish Bar Detection
Every time the close exceeds the previous bar's high, increment the counter:
if close > high
bullCount += 1
Reset on Bearish Bar
When there is a clear bearish reversal, the counter is reset to zero:
if close < low
bullCount := 0
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A Short Signal is triggered when:
The count of consecutive bullish closes (where close > high ) reaches or exceeds the defined threshold (default: 3).
The signal occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit Signal is generated when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low (close < low ), prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Threshold: The number of consecutive bullish closes required to trigger a short entry (default is 3).
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, short entries are only triggered if the current close is below the 200-period EMA.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for Stocks and ETFs on the Daily timeframe and targets overextended bullish moves.
It aims to capture mean reversion by entering short after a series of consecutive bullish closes.
Further optimization is possible with additional filters (e.g., EMA, volume, or volatility).
Backtesting should be used to fine-tune the threshold and filter settings for specific market conditions.

The indicator uses a sandwich emoji (🥪) to mark pattern occurrences directly on the chart, making it visually intuitive and easy to spot potential trading opportunities.
## Pattern Types
### Bullish Stick Sandwich
A bullish stick sandwich pattern is identified when:
- First candle: Bullish (close > open)
- Second candle: Bearish (close < open)
- Third candle: Bullish (close > open)
- The closing price of the third candle is within 10% of the first candle's range from its closing price
### Bearish Stick Sandwich
A bearish stick sandwich pattern is identified when:
- First candle: Bearish (close < open)
- Second candle: Bullish (close > open)
- Third candle: Bearish (close < open)
- The closing price of the third candle is within 10% of the first candle's range from its closing price
## Technical Implementation
- Written in Pine Script v5
- Runs as an overlay indicator
- Uses a 10% tolerance range for closing price comparison
- Implements rolling pattern detection over the last 3 candles
- Break statement ensures only the most recent pattern is marked
## Visual Features
- Bullish patterns: Green sandwich emoji above the pattern
- Bearish patterns: Red sandwich emoji below the pattern
- Label size: Small
- Label styles:
- Bullish: Label points upward
- Bearish: Label points downward
## Usage
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart
2. Look for sandwich emojis that appear above or below price bars

4. Red emojis indicate potential bearish reversals
## Code Structure
- Main indicator function with overlay setting
- Two separate functions for pattern detection:
- `bullishStickSandwich()`
- `bearishStickSandwich()`
- Pattern scanning loop that checks the last 3 candles
- Built-in label plotting for visual identification
## Formula Details
The closing price comparison uses the following tolerance calculation:
```
Tolerance = (High - Low of first candle) * 0.1
Valid if: |Close of third candle - Close of first candle| <= Tolerance
```
## Notes
- The indicator marks patterns in real-time as they form
- Only the most recent pattern within the last 3 candles is marked
- Pattern validation includes both candle direction and closing price proximity
- The 10% tolerance helps filter out weak patterns while catching meaningful ones

OI RSI - WuJianDAOOI RSI (Open Interest Relative Strength Index)
Overview: OI RSI is a technical indicator that applies the RSI concept to open interest data.
Key Features:
Traditional vs. OI RSI:
Traditional RSI measures price movements to identify overbought or oversold conditions.
OI RSI computes the relative strength of open interest over a specified period.
Purpose:
Provides insights into market participation and sentiment by evaluating open interest levels.
Application:
Assists traders in detecting potential reversals or confirming trends based on open interest dynamics.
50% Candle RetraceThis custom indicator draws a horizontal line at the 50% retracement level of each candlestick on the chart. It calculates the midpoint between the high and low of each candle, which is often used by traders to identify potential entry, exit and take-profit levels. Once price action returns to an untouched level, the line will be removed, leaving only the levels where price action is still missing.
Key Features:
Timeframe: Works on all timeframes.
Line Color: Customize the line color to suit your charting preferences.
Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the retracement line for better visibility.
Line Style: Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines.
Up/Down Candle Selection: Option to only display retracement lines for up (bullish) candles, down (bearish) candles, or both.
Full Customization: Control the transparency (opacity) of the line for enhanced visual clarity.
Simple Setup: No complicated settings – simply choose your preferred color, line style, and visibility options.
This indicator is perfect for traders who prefer to use price action and retracement levels to identify potential trade opportunities.
How It Works:
The indicator automatically calculates the 50% level (midpoint) for each candlestick, drawing a line at this level. It will only draw lines for candles that match your chosen criteria (up or down candles), ensuring the chart remains clean and relevant to your trading strategy. Lines are automatically removed as soon as price crosses them.
CSR Ultimate (Final)This indicator calculates and displays a "Candle Strength Ratio" (CSR) to help you gauge bullish versus bearish momentum on a given timeframe. Here’s what it does:
*Multiple Calculation Methods:*
*You can choose among three different methods:*
-Classic CSR: Compares the difference between the upper and lower parts of the candle relative to its total range.
-Weighted Body CSR: Gives more weight to the candle’s body relative to its wicks.
-Close-Focused CSR: Focuses on the net movement from open to close relative to the full range.
*Optional Enhancements:*
The indicator allows you to enable additional features to refine it:
-Volume Weighting: Adjusts the CSR based on the ratio of current volume to a moving average of volume, so a candle on higher-than-average volume might carry more weight.
-ATR Normalization: Normalizes the CSR using the Average True Range (ATR) to account for market volatility.
-Multi-Bar Averaging: Averages the CSR over a specified number of bars to smooth out noise.
-RSI Filter: Optionally checks an RSI condition (bullish if RSI > 50 or bearish if RSI < 50) to help filter out signals that might not be supported by overall momentum.
*Visual and Alert Features:*
The indicator plots the CSR line with color coding (green for bullish, red for bearish) and draws horizontal threshold lines. It also adjusts the chart background color when the CSR exceeds defined bullish or bearish levels and provides alerts when these thresholds are crossed.
Inside Bars ITInside Bars IT Indicator
The Inside Bars IT indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify Inside Bars and their extended patterns (InsideBar2) on any chart. An Inside Bar is a candlestick pattern where the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low. This pattern often signals market consolidation and potential breakout opportunities.
The indicator extends the concept of Inside Bars by introducing InsideBar2, which uses the high and low of the first Inside Bar as reference levels. Subsequent candles are classified as InsideBar2 if their high is less than or equal to the reference high and their low is greater than or equal to the reference low.
CBC Strategy with Trend Confirmation & Separate Stop LossCBC Flip Strategy with Trend Confirmation and ATR-Based Targets
This strategy is based on the CBC Flip concept taught by MapleStax and inspired by the original CBC Flip indicator by AsiaRoo. It focuses on identifying potential reversals or trend continuation points using a combination of candlestick patterns (CBC Flips), trend filters, and a time-based entry window. This approach helps traders avoid false signals and increase trade accuracy.
What is a CBC Flip?
The CBC Flip is a candlestick-based pattern that identifies moments when the market is likely to change direction or strengthen its trend. It checks for a shift in price behavior between consecutive candles, signaling a bullish (upward) or bearish (downward) move.
However, not all flips are created equal! This strategy differentiates between Strong Flips and All Flips, allowing traders to choose between a more conservative or aggressive approach.
Strong Flips vs. All Flips
Strong Flips
A Strong Flip is a high-probability setup that occurs only after liquidity is swept from the previous candle’s high or low.
What is a liquidity sweep? This happens when the price briefly moves beyond the high or low of the previous candle, triggering stop-losses and trapping traders in the wrong direction. These sweeps often create fuel for the next move, making them powerful reversal signals.
Examples:
Long Setup: The price dips below the previous candle’s low (sweeping liquidity) and then closes higher, signaling a potential bullish move.
Short Setup: The price moves above the previous candle’s high and then closes lower, signaling a potential bearish move.
Why Use Strong Flips?
They provide fewer signals, but the accuracy is generally higher.
Ideal for trending markets where liquidity sweeps often mark key turning points.
All Flips
All Flips are less selective, offering both Strong Flips and additional signals without requiring a liquidity sweep.
This approach gives traders more frequent opportunities but comes with a higher risk of false signals, especially in sideways markets.
Examples:
Long Setup: A CBC flip occurs without sweeping the previous low, but the trend direction is confirmed (slow EMA is still above VWAP).
Short Setup: A CBC flip occurs without sweeping the previous high, but the trend is still bearish (slow EMA below VWAP).
Why Use All Flips?
Provides more frequent entries for active or aggressive traders.
Works well in trending markets but requires caution during consolidation periods.
How This Strategy Works
The strategy combines CBC Flips with multiple filters to ensure better trade quality:
Trend Confirmation: The slow EMA (20-period) must be positioned relative to the VWAP to confirm the overall trend direction.
Long Trades: Slow EMA must be above VWAP (upward trend).
Short Trades: Slow EMA must be below VWAP (downward trend).
Time-Based Filter: Traders can specify trading hours to limit entries to a particular time window, helping avoid low-volume or high-volatility periods.
Profit Target and Stop-Loss:
Profit Target: Defined as a multiple of the 14-period ATR (Average True Range). For example, if the ATR is 10 points and the profit target multiplier is set to 1.5, the strategy aims for a 15-point profit.
Stop-Loss: Uses a dynamic, candle-based stop-loss:
Long Trades: The trade closes if the market closes below the low of two candles ago.
Short Trades: The trade closes if the market closes above the high of two candles ago.
This approach adapts to recent price behavior and protects against unexpected reversals.
Customizable Settings
Strong Flips vs. All Flips: Choose between a more selective or aggressive entry style.
Profit Target Multiplier: Adjust the ATR multiplier to control the distance for profit targets.
Entry Time Range: Define specific trading hours for the strategy.

MT-Trend Zone IdentifierTrend Zone Identifier – A Dynamic Market Trend Mapping Tool
Overview
The Trend Zone Identifier is an advanced TradingView indicator that helps traders visualize different market trend phases. By leveraging Pivot Points, Moving Averages (MA), ADX (Average Directional Index), and Retest Confirmation, this tool identifies uptrend, downtrend, and ranging (sideways) conditions dynamically.
This indicator is designed to segment the market into clear trend zones, allowing traders to distinguish between confirmed trends, trend transitions (pending zones), and ranging markets. It provides an intuitive visual overlay to enhance market structure analysis and assist in decision-making.
Key Features
✔ Trend Zone Identification – Classifies price action into Uptrend (Green), Downtrend (Red), Pending Confirmation (Light Colors), and Sideways Market (Gray/Neutral)
✔ Pivot-Based Breakout & Breakdown Detection – Uses pivot highs/lows to determine trend shifts
✔ Moving Average & ADX Validation – Ensures the trend is backed by MA structure and ADX trend strength
✔ Pullback Confirmation – Allows trend confirmation based on price retesting key levels
✔ Extreme Volatility & Gaps Filtering – Optional ATR-based extreme movement filtering to avoid false signals
✔ Multi-Timeframe Support – Option to integrate higher timeframe trend validation
✔ Customizable Sensitivity – Fine-tune MA smoothing, ADX thresholds, pivot detection, and pullback range
How It Works
1. Trend Classification
• Uptrend (Green): Price is above a key MA, ADX confirms strength, and a pivot breakout occurs
• Downtrend (Red): Price is below a key MA, ADX confirms strength, and a pivot breakdown occurs
• Pending Trend (Light Colors): Initial trend breakout or breakdown is detected but requires further confirmation
• Sideways/Ranging (Gray): ADX signals a weak trend, and price remains within a neutral zone
2. Retest & Confirmation Logic
• A trend is only confirmed after a breakout or breakdown followed by a successful retest
• If the market fails the retest, the indicator resets to a neutral state
3. Custom Filters for Optimization
• Enable or disable volume filtering for confirmation
• Adjust pivot sensitivity to detect major or minor swing points
• Choose to require consecutive bars confirming the breakout/breakdown
Ideal Use Cases
🔹 Swing traders who want to capture trend transitions early
🔹 Trend-following traders who rely on confirmed market cycles
🔹 Range traders looking to identify sideways market zones
🔹 Algorithmic traders who need clean trend segmentation for automated strategies
Final Thoughts
The Trend Zone Identifier is a versatile market structure indicator that helps traders define trend cycles visually and avoid trading against weak trends. By providing clear breakout, breakdown, and retest conditions, it enhances market clarity and reduces decision-making errors.

ICT First Presented FVG - NY Open [LuckyAlgo]
This indicator identifies the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that occurs during the New York trading session, combined with NY session opening price levels. It's an essential tool for traders who follow ICT concepts and focus on the NY trading session.
ICT refers to this as the First Presented FVG, while other traders may call it the 9:30 FVG.
This indicator is best for the 1 minute timeframe, while 5 minute also works.
Detects and marks the first FVG of the NY session
Displays both bullish (green) and bearish (red) FVGs with customizable transparency
Shows the NY session opening price with clear labels
Includes optional vertical line at 9:30 AM NY open
Maintains clean chart visibility with adjustable maximum display days
Includes session date and time labels for easy reference
The indicator helps traders identify potential reversal zones and continuation opportunities by combining two powerful concepts: Fair Value Gaps and NY session opening price. This makes it particularly valuable for day traders and swing traders who want to capitalize on institutional order flow patterns during the most liquid trading session.
You can customize the indicator's appearance, including FVG box colors, time range display, and whether to show the NY open markers. This flexibility allows you to integrate it seamlessly with your existing trading setup.
Correlated asset and Daye's Quarterly TheoryThis indicator is based on the Quarterly Theory concepts from Daye. You can find him mainly on X as traderdaye.
It works on a new panel and the quarters will be drawn over the chart of the correlated that you set on its settings.
You can use every asset to compare with the main one to make easier to find divergences between days, sessions and 90 minutes cycles.
In different timeframes, the indicator could show more or less information about quarters, but will always show the compared asset one. This is due to limitations of the candles start (for example, the Session's Q2 open won't be shown on an hourly chart because it starts after 30 minutes of candle's open).
What can this indicator do for you?
- Show the correlated asset chart.
- Show daily, session and 90 minutes cycle boxes.
- Show Midnight and every session's Q2 open.
- Make easier for the trained eye to determine if the model is AMDX or XAMD, find PO3, turtle soups, SMT divergences, etc.
Do you have any suggestion? Please, leave it on the comments. I'll try to improve this indicator regularly.

EMA Uzunlukları:
Kısa EMA: 9 yerine 12 veya 14 kullanılabilir.
Uzun EMA: 21 yerine 26 veya 50 kullanılabilir.
Golden Cross için 50 EMA ve 200 EMA zaten uzun vadeli trendleri yakalar, bu nedenle değiştirmeye gerek yok.
RSI Uzunluğu:
RSI uzunluğu 14 yerine 21 veya 28 yapılabilir. Bu, daha uzun vadeli aşırı alım/aşırı satım bölgelerini daha doğru tespit eder.
Volume Filtresi:
Volume ortalaması için 20 periyot yerine 50 veya 100 periyot kullanılabilir. Bu, daha uzun vadeli hacim eğilimlerini yakalar.
Ichimoku Parametreleri:
Ichimoku, varsayılan olarak 9-26-52 periyotlarıyla çalışır. Bu, zaten uzun vadeli trendleri yakalamak için uygundur. Ancak, daha uzun periyotlar için:
Tenkan-Sen: 9 yerine 14.
Kijun-Sen: 26 yerine 52.

EDGE Market Maker StrategyDCAA HedgeFlow System
Objective: Provide real-time, structured analysis for ENS/USDT trades by focusing on market maker liquidity flows and footprints, rather than traditional retail indicators. This approach is designed to grant an institutional-level execution edge.
1. Liquidity-Based Market Assessment
• Liquidity Zones: Locate areas where market makers trap retail (bull/bear traps).
• Order Book Imbalances: Highlight significant buy/sell pressure absorption.
• Volume Clusters & Absorption: Detect liquidity exhaustion points.
• Market Maker Footprints: Pinpoint institutional positioning.
Restriction: Do not use static support/resistance. All levels must derive from liquidity traps, absorption points, and institutional footprints.
2. DCAA & Trade Optimization
Analyze and recommend optimal DCAA levels by examining market maker absorption and real-time positioning, instead of offering fixed levels.
• Short DCAA: Identify zones where short sellers are trapped before a reversal; confirm entries via VWAP, CVD, and Open Interest.
• Long DCAA: Identify accumulation zones where market makers absorb liquidations; confirm entries using order book absorption and volume imbalances.
3. Take-Profit Analysis: Liquidity Exit Points
Provide dynamic TP zones that update in real time based on liquidity exhaustion—never static.
• Short TP: Reveal zones where sellers are absorbed and liquidity fades; confirm via volume divergence, order book imbalances, and market maker exits.
• Long TP: Identify zones where buyers are absorbed before market makers exit; confirm via VWAP alignment and liquidity exhaustion.
4. Market Maker Trap Detection
Analyze bull/bear traps with liquidity data:
• Bull Trap: Detect resistance absorption that traps late buyers; confirm with CVD divergence and order book shifts.
• Bear Trap: Identify stop-hunt areas where market makers absorb forced liquidations; confirm with VWAP and Open Interest spikes.
Provide a probability (%) for each trap scenario to guide risk assessment.
5. Hedge Strategy Analysis
Recommend hedging only if order flow confirms institutional absorption:
• Short Hedge: Identify zones for short hedging to counter bullish market maker shifts.
• Long Hedge: Identify zones for long hedging against stop hunts and forced liquidations.
Hedge recommendations must adapt to VWAP shifts, liquidity depth, and institutional moves.
6. Order Flow Tracking: Institutional Footprint Analysis
Track and validate:
• VWAP: Confirm institutional absorption or positioning.
• CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta): Detect trapped buyers/sellers.
• Open Interest: Confirm accumulation or liquidation trends.
All conditions must be met before finalizing DCAA or TP levels.
7. Structured Execution
For every ENS/USDT analysis:
1. Identify liquidity traps, absorption zones, and market maker footprints.
2. Confirm stop hunts or liquidation events before finalizing DCAA zones.
3. Integrate VWAP, CVD, and Open Interest data to validate trades.
4. Provide dynamic TP zones (not static) based on real-time liquidity.
5. Evaluate hedges according to shifts in market maker positioning.
8. Analysis Restrictions & Optimization
• No static S/R or retail indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI, MACD).
• No predefined TP levels—always dynamic and liquidity-based.
• Prioritize liquidity tracking, volume imbalances, institutional footprints.
• Offer probability-based breakout, breakdown, and ranging assessments using real-time data.
9. Market Maker Validation
Before finalizing a trade:
1. VWAP: Must confirm institutional absorption (yes → proceed; no → reassess).
2. CVD: Must show divergence with trapped traders (yes → proceed; no → delay).
3. Open Interest: Must confirm accumulation/liquidation (yes → proceed; no → wait).
4. Stop Hunt: Must have confirmation of a completed stop hunt or liquidation (yes → proceed; no → hold off).
Any conclusion not supported by liquidity data should be rejected.
10. Continuous Refinement
This strategy refines analysis accuracy by:
• Tracking historical forecasts and adjusting probability models.
• Adapting liquidity zone detection with real-time data updates.
• Speeding up detection of stop hunts and hedge signals.
Final Confirmation: Institutional-Grade Analysis Tool
All analysis must be rooted in liquidity flow and smart money positioning. The goal is to optimize trade execution with risk-adjusted insights, eliminate retail inefficiencies, and adapt dynamically to market conditions—functioning as a truly institutional-level analysis engine for ENS/USDT.
Use or adapt these instructions to maintain an institutional-grade focus on liquidity-driven market dynamics.
